Heart LASIK
You cup my cheek,
and I can but stare
at you
as if I'd been gifted
the first set of eyes
on this new planet, and
you
were the
only real thing I
opened them to.

You are, indeed, a lucky man. Rose-tinted glasses are nice, but new eyes… (sigh)

There’s a delicious streak of humanity in your writing lately. And I’m living for it.
The subtle voice in this really works for the concise nature of the piece. Feels like it captures a moment. I’m glad we were privy to it.
Thanks for sharing

Omg! Humanity?! I eschewed that shit years ago to run naked with the feral Sasquatch.
Hey. Thank you. I mean it.

Dear B,
There is nothing grander than seeing love for the first time. It’s almost like having the windows cleaned. Everything feels so fresh and clear. I enjoyed the visceral reaction I had to “You cup my cheek, and I can but stare at you”
I remembered this fellow in college I had such a thing for. He touched my hand and I thought my head would implode it was that electric to me. This is such a beautiful write. H🌷

We sat on the couch drinking Guinness and after being together for a year I leaned in and told her I loved her and it was real love.
I'll never forget that moment. Your poem gave me the same feeling ....
Lots of BIG

I'm glad I brought that back for you.
It's a strange feeling, right?
Lots of FUCK.

It is perhaps the strangest feeling. Out of body. I knew she loved me too, yet I sat on my hands and was a little nervous before I said it ...

I echo NS here. Succinct and focused scene with wonderful presence.
