SEDUCING THE END

06 29 14

Threshold calibrated

with a boomerang of breath

harping on Saturday assessments

Solvents and a choice of proof

must suffice

when a sigh's throat is slashed

by the paper cut of an unheard sob

 

Hold everything in a generic pause

 

Burn the calender

resuscitate the world with a gulp

practice the manipulation of a hook's

expiration date like a ladies' man

fall asleep in an overseas time zone

and arise in a knotted future

 

Pull it hard enough

and tension will avenge

This was fantastically written and had a wonderful structure. I find my cheeks going red though as I can not think of anything further to say. This one was a bit over my head, though I am fairly certain it is brilliant and full of meaning that is alluding me.

That's okay, it took took forever to write and it still feels like it's over my own head a bit haha So glad you enjoyed you though, thank you Ashira :)

hold everything, the world is coming to the end....all we have to do is look overseas...right now there are so many conflicts ...and it just keeps getting worse.
"the tension will avenge"

perhaps if we "fall asleep in an overseas time zone" we could wake up and it will all be a bad dream...

but that is wishful thinking
and this is heavy thinking in this poem.

good stuff.

Wishful thinking indeed my friend...so glad you enjoyed it Jacob, thank you.

I'm still snickering at those last two lines to be able to see clearly to write a decent review....

Looks like your back at it, burning bridges and generic pauses, in your calibrated boomerang beatnik style, I still attest to my original assessment of long ago, you being genius or madman, the debate is still ongoing. ;) Still you manifest your thoughts concisely, in Dali-esque precision and blow my mind each and every time. :) xo

100 hook'd gulps

Haha I tend to lean towards the latter Mrs.R...it probably doesn't come across as one, but this is a love poem, it just happens to be delivered in Dali-esque fashion...the song is very relevant though it may not come across as such...I'm glad I blew your mind, whether it's your mind or your skirt, I'm just glad to blow something up ;) So glad you enjoyed it love :) xo

I gathered that from the ending dear...you know Mrs R is onto your arse.;) ha xox

[kublakhan27]

Hahaha Yes, she is indeed, 24/7 ;)
