metaphor moon

best to choose

vicarious distance

removed

from visceral

blood smatterings

entombed

within each

endearing revelation.

clear air

between

biological divides...

no musky

pheramonal

diversions if you

don't mind...

best to swim

from risk

beyond

localised rip...

basking

in shoreline

shoals

wards torment

elsewhere...

staves steady

ascent

in compound

fractures

to an already

brittle

perception

of metaphor

moon

[Emily B]

is it in your voice yet? it's just calling to me to be read aloud

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

electric tides weave the tug and pull of mind through a sensate intelligent poetic that streams metaphors like diamond tears~ lovely with a sadness in the shallows~

[Fleur-de-lys]

Great piece! What a wonderful tribute to the beauty of the metaphor. =D
