You were the one who gently
pulled my fingernails out of the cavern
of my mouth, who never
scolded something so trivial
as an gaping fridge door on
those restless nights

Softly, you claimed the
imperfections of my mouth,
leading me away from stale clichés
with a single breath and promise

Palming my pen secretly and
mixing it in with yesterday’s bills,
I never missed it or
even looked for it

The morning after I met you,
a breeze blew me out the door
into your arms,
and I saw the stars
for the first time since childhood

:heart: I love this one... absolutely gorgeous. It seems very real and some of it reminds me of some of my experiences. First stanza= :heart:

Oh honey that last stanza, oh wow. It is spectacular.
It is a imagery whores delight (I am the imagery whore here).

Technically I can't see anything at all wrong with it.
Well done :D
I :heart: this

Thank you for the lovely comment...:aww:
I like the first stanza too, I'd like to think that the person I fall in love with one day and decide to spend my life with (crosses fingers) will break me of some of my bad habits listed here, like biting my fingernails and eating when I'm bored. That's part of where the inspiration came from...other part came from Eroala down there. :D

Yay! Coming from you, this means a whole lot to me that you like this poem. I have to thank you for the initial inspiration as well...writing about love has never come easily to me, but this one just sort of popped out. :D
And wow, you couldn't see any technical mistakes? :o
I'm gonna be changing a few small things about this one, so if you keep an eye on it you may see a few updates.
Anyways, thanks so much for the lovely comment. It's appreciated.

I could see a couple but due to tiredness didnt want to elaborate as I was sure you knew they existed and would rectify it in time.
My comment was made as I saw credit needed to be accorded, much love my dear girl :D
