November 1st.

Today, my English teacher shared with me a challenge he was partaking in from someone else's blog. (Credit goes to this fellow: http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs//poetic-asides)

The challenge is simple: write a poem a day, every day in November.

My response: Challenge accepted.

So, without further ado, here is my first poem for the first day of November~

There is nothing more mighty

than your smile,

The warmth in your eyes

Liquid gold

Kerosene

Your laugh a spark to ignite the flame

Your touch so gentle and serene.

If I appear ungrateful,

It is because I am shy;

But if you appear before me,

I will look into your eyes

And catch you up on lost time:

Something we've had a lot of,

And show you the deepest dreams

The darkest desires

And the pain that fills the cracks;

Someday we'll get it all back.
