Ellipsis

Of dreams, of presence, of lucid memory
Cupped into virile palms, waiting to stain a lover's lips
Of pause, of breath, of emotion
Taken thrice into a Pandora's Box heart

Of forget, of regret, of exhaustion
Taken greedily in deeper, deeper...down
Of life, of love, of existence
Of I love you's and I don't's.

This is really good, but the best writers often think they are horrible.

Why would you even venture to say you suck...this is amazing and you don't write short stuff that often and this one has legs. You are so far past looking at the surface and digging deep, and it shows. Great work luv....awesome.

Poem isn't bad. The words are strong and flow of the poetry is very good. You open many good questions with this poem. Sometime we question why we do things in a life. I like the words usage. It was a pleasure to be able to read. A very good ending to a excellent poem. Poetry purpose is to make the reader think. Your poem made me think.
