(This is the result of a "love poem" prompt from my creative writing class. You may also notice that I have used some of these sentences and ideas in other places, I think finally I've come with some place to put them for now. Still needs some work, but yeah.)

The Generic Love Poem, Kully Style

Suddenly all filled up with gold on a windy summer day
The song of a whale played on the breeze

But now the heat is fading
Autumn reaches for an amber crown

I sit here quiet as a cup
Still grasping for limbs of the abstract

But my thoughts subside with whispers and stars
And the rain comes down hard

And my the square hole in my cave
Is my only light, a crowded light.

All I can remember is the way you looked at me.
I tried to hide, but I couldn’t and I didn’t want to.

You always say things exactly the way need to be said,
Not the way I want expected, and it’s perfect.

It is funny how you think that’s it,
That there are no more safe arms to hide in,
but they are all around you.
