Pieces

A piece of the puzzle isn't the whole picture
It's not the whole story, the whole book
Not even a sentence, just a word, probably.

Cars aren't just engines they're beasts of pieces
Big and small
Not just one, you need them all.

Fingers don't make up the whole arm,
Or even the whole hand
They're just pieces of the mechanism.

Eyes are the windows to the soul,
Just more pieces of the whole.

With my eyes I look at you, my love
With my lips I kiss yours
With my teeth I show you my smile.

With my hands I touch your face,
Your neck, your chest,
Your pieces.

With my mind I fell in love with yours,
And gave you all my pieces.

TULSA, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
