I Want

I want this to mean nothing

I want the riddles falling from inside

I want your tongue to catch them

And place them on mine

I want your lies to blossom

Into something more vicious than this

I want the roar of the ocean

I want the muzzle of bees

I want you praising this kindness

Gently on your knees

great poem! i'm a little conflicted with your use of "mean" in L1, however. perhaps you want "this" to BE nothing, i wonder. i'm thinking of the phrase..."making something out of nothing." hope this helps. good hunting..

Wow. I absolutely loved the contradictions here. This poem blew me away… I especially loved the first two lines. Absolutely beautiful.

It'd be perfect if you used punctuation though… I'm kind of a punctuation freak here, so don't be offended.
