I love your voice,
your soft brown hair.
I love your eyes
and love your stare.

I love your laugh,
your cocky smirk,
your stupid jokes.
You precious jerk,

you know I do.
I want my hands
all through your hair
each treasured strand.

I’m wrapped around
your finger still.
Am I yet yours?
Your love does kill

the things I hold
so close to me
and yet you’re the
best jerk I see.

I like how the writer expresses with creative words and how she (writer) herself in it too.

I feel the same way about someone but didn't know how to express it. Beautiful! Perfect imagery too. I loved it!

Nice description.... I like how you say, 'you precious jerk'. That is very descriptive and shows just how you feel. Nice job!

This reminds me of a certain someone-- it's so friggin true dude. It's a great poem too, I'm glad it's in the magazine. You weren't one of those people who only rhyme for the sake of rhyming; it was cohesive. Anyways, really, really awesome.
