POETRY BY CARA KRUSE

Breakfast Nook

I have never told you

how much I love you 

I love your dark hair 

its shiny, black color  

so slick to the touch 

its smell of Versace  

I love your little cheeks 

so squishy like a baby’s 

the way it jumps when 

I pinch them delicately 

I love your brown eyes 

always wide, always soft,  

the mindful look you have 

when someone is talking 

I love your long nose,  

its angular, fit tone 

how strong it stands 

you wear it proud 

I love your thick lips 

the expressions it makes 

its sound of gentle words 

escaping when we kiss  

I hope you now know 

how much I love you
