Simple Is Beautiful

by nouriguess   Feb 14, 2012


You are a flower
growing in me
a Narcissus in your color
a lily in your easy shape
the ever thrilling shape.
You are a living room
with beige pieces of
furniture, tidy and cozy
and draped.
You are a small alcove
in my heart
so warm and
sheltering.
I love how you
phone kiss me
in a whispering tone
while talking with your boss.
It gives me chuckles.
The urgent accent you speak
with just to see me
in my pajamas
with my toenails
daubed in foolish colors
that never go together.
You are the morning yawn
hidden in my pillow
darling, and I so love
to awake with you.

    I enjoyed this poem very much. I am new to writing so take my understanding with a grain of salt perhaps, but I was a little confused. The first half of the poem seems like the love of a mother and an unborn child. (That is just the impression I got.)
    "You are a flower
    growing in me
    a Narcissus in your color
    a lily in your easy shape"

    Perhaps I took the lines too literally instead of symbolically, however the break in the middle definately pointed to romantic love.
    "I love how you
    phone kiss me
    in a whispering tone"

    It almost seemed like two poems, but I loved the feelings it provoked and it made me smile.

    4/5 :)

    I loovvvvvvvvve the flower growing in you line. To me it's a natural and beautiful way of saying that they are part of you. They are part of who you are. Your roots are entwined with theirs. Beautiful.

    I love the idea of beige pieces of furniture. I love the idea of white and beige. I find that it makes a room look quite open and fresh and stunning. I believe that is how you are trying to describe your relationship with this person.

    The phone kiss me line actually made me smile. I can imagine the two of you whispering on the phone (or at least he will be). I love those kisses, the next best thing when they're not by your side. Sweetest thing! I love the idea of urgent accent you speak. I think it's the tone when talking with each other and you want to see each other so badly!!!

    I think this is a sweet, slightly sensual poem. Loved it!!!
