Attraction

 

In our lizard minds,

We can smell

Each other’s sicknesses.

Like magnets' pull,

The more difference

The more I want you.

This is the basis of desire:

The yearning to steal

Strengths you have

That I lack.

Ooo...some quick things.

would the poem loose anything if you used sickness, instead of sicknesses?

Very good poem overall. I might consider rephrasing the last three lines, but that's totally up to you. Best of luck, and great write :)

[PhoeniX]

oooh.
a great way to express attraction.
well done

[Mark Pearce]

Very, very good.

(And I hate the repetition of words used as an emphatic tool.)

This has heft to it. A slice of reality laid bare before us.

Great job.
