the whole you by Emily Davidsoninvincible
flawless
astonishing
man
what can't you do?
sharp-witted
quick-thinking
intelligent
being
have you always been so capable?
irresistible
sensual
passionate
creature
where did you learn the map of my desires?
to the onlookers
you seem perfect
i suppose i am the lucky one
for knowing the whole you 01/13/2010 Posted on 01/14/2010 Copyright © 2024 Emily Davidson

for knowing the whole you"...these lines on their own leave little impact and may even sound cliche. But with the rest of the poem they create a unique twist. Likewise the rest of the poem is simple and nice enough but it's this last line that gives it this flavorful sting.
