Description I want the crook of your shoulder
to bury myself in, breathe deep
until I feel anxiety uncoil inside of me,
melt in the waters of love so deep
fear couldn't step a foot inside without
sighing sweetly for that smell on your skin,
the one that does me in, damns me
and saves me all in the same breath,
I am blessed and never knew
the name of God except the one I thank
for crossing your path with mine,
that divine movement evident only
in the day I looked across the room,
met your eyes and cried, I found you.

This has a very gentle feel to it - heartfelt but not dramatic.

Congratulations for the DD.

This is much better where it conjures physical details -- shoulder-crook, skin, breath, the action of a glance...

What poets are you reading?

Thank you so much for reading. ^^ No poets, actually. Fallen out of touch a little, mostly marching to my own drum at the moment. Any you'd recommend?

Certainly. An easy place to start might be here --Β forum.deviantart.com/art/liter…

But if you're feeling a little more adventurous, maybe you could Google some of these names and see if you like anything enough to read/buy some books/etc. One can only march properly to one's own drum when one can well identify the beats of others...

Anne Carson
Patricia Lockwood
John Burnside
Paul Muldoon
Cole Swensen
John Ashbery
Luke Kennard
Ted Kooser
Robert Hass

I've plucked those almost at random from my head.

Here are some poems I quite like, also randomly plucked:

www.poetryfoundation.org/poems…
www.poetryfoundation.org/poetr…
www.poetryfoundation.org/poems…
www.poetryfoundation.org/poems…

As you can see, the Poetry Foundation is a great resource in itself.

Good luck. Ask any questions if you like.
