Description He sleeps the sleep of a man
who doesn't yet know that Love
sits sewing her shadow to the dawn,

nursing a subtle,
aching silence in his lungs
with her name, her shape.

He can't fathom how someone
can sit so deep inside him,
shelling the shadows of himself
as though there are moons at their core,

how he no longer believes
in falling lightly in love
but in committing himself
to inevitable call of concrete

or how she lingers like ink on his fingers,
like a story he's still figuring out how to write.

it's frighteningly beautiful how this piece is so simple but it still speaks of a kind of love that's so infinite in how it can be felt that anyone that reads it can instantly relate. Love this piece so much <3

Is there something to people putting random punctuation as their descriptions or am I just missing the point?

Anyway great work, truly breathtaking.

dA requires you put something, but I prefer people to read my work free of my input. Seeing as you can't leave the box blank, random punctuation stands in place of a comment.

And thank you.

I can't help but read THIS poem in particular AT LEAST one time a day.
I'm litterly IN LOVE with the last two sentences. I mean, "... like ink on his fingers... ".
