and now I realize
that it hurts because
you never wrote lovely things
about me

E. E. Cummings
i will wade out
                        till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
                                       Alive
                                                 with closed eyes
to dash against darkness
                                       in the sleeping curves of my body
Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
with chasteness of sea-girls
                                            Will i complete the mystery
                                            of my flesh
I will rise
               After a thousand years
lipping
flowers
             And set my teeth in the silver of the moon

Ari
When I see you on the train. you only take a quick glance.
No you dont know me , but tell me your name. Lets take a chance.
Ask me out for coffee, lunch or dinner.
Yes I'd let you kiss me right now. We could both be sinners.
Ask for my number or just give me a smile.
Take a seat next to me and we'll speak for a while.
Instead you continue to take glances.
And we miss out on our chances.
Then either of our stops come up.
And we walk out on who knows maybe what could have been love.

Ogden Nash
Praise the spells and bless the charms,
I found April in my arms.
April golden, April cloudy,
Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;
April soft in flowered languor,
April cold with sudden anger,
Ever changing, ever true --
I love April, I love you.
