Listen to poem:
She warms my heart I'm not sure how She lights a fuse And soon.. kerpow! My love it swells Her voice Like angels' clanging bells She wakes me up I feel alive Her face a feast On which I thrive Such lovely jawline Perfect skin Her posture Perfect mannequin I love her walk I love her clothing Find something wrong? I see no thing Her curves delight We chat so long Into the night Her arms entwine Her hands just beauty In beastly mine I've never liked someone like this My heart beat falters As lips I kiss Balcony we sit As shoulders touch I like this girl Says boy So much
