A Lover of Sorts

User Rating:

10.0 /10

  He gives me that look
and I know what's coming.

I set down my book and we get to it.
For this long together we are better

than most. But lying there with him,
I lie, there, with him.

As a sunrise of lamplight crests
the timberline of his balding skull,

I experiment with words in exotic positions
rolling them, naked on my paper brain

until there is nothing more to say,
no ink left in the pen,

and we reach across each other
only to turn out the light.

Lori Boulard

I gave it a 10, I thought it was going in a diffrent direction, , , , , Than what I anticipated

Lori...I think this is great, except for the 5th stanza, which took me away from the situation (it could be dropped) , and the last three lines would be better in a couplet, which would be easy to organize without losing anything. Take care, John
