New Poem

My girlfriend and I both love bagels. As we were jokingly comparing each other to the different kinds of bagels we like yesterday, we suddenly had the idea to write poems for each other based on this idea. My favorite kind is the everything bagel, but I once had a chocolate chip bagel that blew my mind. Lauren favors the cinnamon raisin variety. I was surprised that I wound up creating a piece so sincere, one that didn't turn out cheesy, so here it is:

Everything Lauren

She has everything
I desire
Smooth, round hips
And lips like chocolate chips
Her skin like cinnamon
And I can't help but give in
She is small but she nourishes me
Wholly
Her sense of humor is salty
But she softens it
With a layer of sweetness
Every day I marvel at her
Completeness
And vow to keep exploring
Everything Lauren.
