adam taylor

when i was home in missouri recently, i was blessed to spend a good amount of time hanging out with an old friend, adam taylor. conversation was great, ranging from God to relationships to poetry to philosophy. he is a very gifted writer, and helped me edit some of my poetry. last night i finally got around to updating most of them in the poetry section.

if you have a few minutes, i would love it if you would take the time to read one of the poems today. maybe invest a short amount of time into it, and see if you get anything back. i recently finished revising i wonder, and i would be honored if you would take a look at it. it has been heavily revised, so if you have read it in the past, there are quite a few changes. i would love to get an email or a comment from you about it, even just a short one. brutal honesty is good.

i wonder
here on this couch
i've forgotten everything
but you

the tv is on
i don't care

i love your skin
my index finger traces
your wrist
back and forth
it's softest there

i love your hair
twirling the curls
just long enough for me
to run my fingers through

the lights are dim
just enough light
for me to see
those eyes
i'm lost again

i pull you in
just a bit closer
you turn your head and smile

my mind wanders
and i begin to wonder

are you the girl
am i the boy
is this it?

the television flickers.
i wonder
