Riches of the Poor


Riches of the Poor

(Please give feedback if possible. Don't be too harsh, I'm merely getting started.) 

 

My proclivity for you 

 

Began in

 

Room twenty two 

 

 

 

Learning of saline

 

Inhaling 

 

The musk of a man 

 

 

Reaching out

 

For your hand

 

Easing the drought 

 

 

And when my scars

 

Met your coarse charm

 

We’d found the riches of the poor
