Read read read. Reading is the best way to get your creative juices flowing. And, you could share some of the writing you don't like on here to get feedback. I often don't like what I've written (like the poem that got published in VTDigger) but others tend to really like it. Those who tend to be least confident in themselves/their writing tend to make the best writing because they are so unsure. Google the Dunning-Krueger Effect.
This glimpse of love is a sweet one, but not at all saccharine -- just right. I could conjure up each image with ease. Difficult not to be a little cliche sometimes when talking about things like the night sky, but chipped nail polish being compared to a constellation is my favorite simile of recent date. Smart to wrap up referencing the lipstick you opened the poem with!
Waiting, waiting, waiting... that felt like all we were doing yesterday! This so well captures that feeling of anticipation, and gives us so many of those funny little observations we tend to make and those impatient little actions we tend to take to distract ourselves while we wait for the climax of an event to unfold. I hope your experience was not too cloudy yesterday!
I like to just write something silly. Writing something stupid that makes me giggle always helps me get into writing again.

I can hear her voice as I read. Makes me want to stand beside her. Amazing.
I am reading one called "Paint Me Like I Am". It is incredible! It is all written by teenagers I think!

beautiful. i especially love the line 'her pale lips remembering cinnamon warmth.'
The colors along the water are magnificent! What was the experience like, this time of year?
