Poem: First draft

I know a girl who doesn't like to dust
Her voice speaks rain and hidden lust.
The landscape of her mind: gray and green,
She has a knowledge of things unseen.

Beauty and sadness, long dark hair.
She smiles softly as I stop to stare
into her face, as I study it intently
and wonder if I'll be able to hold onto it when she's gone.

This girl I know, she haunts my dreams
with silent cries and guilt-ridden schemes.

This reads very well. Are you not used to writing poetry?

I don't write much poetry. Can you tell? :) Hope you're doing well too.

No, I don't mean that it seems amateur. I was responding more to the term draft. I think you should write more poetry.
