To sit where I can see your face
And hear your laughter come and go Is greater bliss than all the gods
Can ever know.

The bright dream carries me away:
Watching your lips, your hair, your cheek
I have so many things to say,
Yet cannot speak. I look, I listen, and my soul Flames

Something like the Norton Anthology of Poetry will give you an overview of the western canon.

Best American Poetry will give you an idea of what's current.

Poetry Foundation website has a fuck ton of poems and can introduce you to the different schools and movements.

Just literally put "poetry anthology" into amazon. There will be loads like "best poems" or "favourite poems" or "100 greatest poems". It's not rocket science.

As for individual recommendations: the Romantics are quite straightforward in style and are universally beloved. Try Blake, Coleridge and Keats. Then the modernists like Eliot, who have a more contemporary feel to their verse. And since you're probably American, something like Whitman or Dickinson or whoever is in your country's canon which I haven't read.

I too prefer a more aesthetic woman, but from what I've gathered stalking her insta profile (is it really stalking?) she's all muscle. The prototype I have of musclegirls are veiny, man-jawed androgynes but she is still quite feminine.

If she piledrived my neck into the pavement while my face was buried in her pillowy cooch, I would die a complete and happy man. Not to mention she could actually physically dominate my skinny ass in bed as opposed to me just me letting her roleplay as dominant.

Plus a woman with such incredible hips and nutritional knowledge would be ideal for childbearing.

But she seems to be pleased with having a gaggle of adoring orbiters to give her narcississtic supply while she fucks Chad. Such is the modern woman. Following ejaculation, I would probably just see her as another airheaded slut good for nothing but haircare techniques and ordering food at restaurants.
