I Guess This Is My Best Guess At A Love Song~

I feel more comfortable dismembering adjectives

between the concept of a sharp noun

and the distended allure of a serrated action verb

when I am required to paraphrase your meaning

and I squirm

and shuffle my suffixes around in my medicine bag

wondering which witch will be the itch

in your side

when, yet again, I don’t have the right answer

and all I am doing

instead of indulging your tests

is dressing you in prefixes

tripping adversity

with adverbs placed just so

just sharp enough

and slick enough

to slip the metaphors into your hipbones

and the similes around your jawbone

clamp that tramp mouth closed

lock in every “f**k”

with the pharmaceuticals

and the unwinding binding wine

slosh

slosh

and lush slush

skin and bones and mush

 

I guess this is my best guess at a love song

and I think it’s pretty okay

if you know

I was writing it to Language

seducing grammar over peppermint white mocha

rolling calligraphy around inside my cherry cheeks

with sugarcubes

honey sticks

pick up sticks

spelling L O V E on thin jade

lapping lush concepts

from the side of an ivory bowl

a poet with a slip of silk

over a shoulder

coy ploy stenciled into velvet bone

a robe of language

creating its brocade around warm

papyrus

skin

It's to the point and carries a grasp along with it! Liked the way you portrayed it :-) Love and Light!

forgetting all the drama on your reviews and concentrating on the poetry..I have to applaud you again..without your simply wonderful work to inspire. With out you, I think I would just up and leave..no one..and I mean no one..has the vision to weave words together like you..you somehow manage to make the unusual, usual..I know you are not bothered by the minions milling on here, trying to be noticed under your steam...instead a compliment should be seen as without your popularity to cling to ..they would be washed away in a river of insignificance..bravo !!!!!!

Selene...I simply sit and smile! I am elated and rejuvinated! You my love - are epic! xoxo ♥

You write prose like a ninja uses serrated stars to make a point.

[Shattered Dreams]

This is amazing; it's not what I thought it would be, but it's not at all bad! The words really speak to me and I can feel every word you wrote. Very well done!

[Katherine]

Wow. Just... Wow. Every single word in this poem spoke to me. You weave a wonderful web with your use of language. Great job.

[Kim]

Awesome piece!!!!

[*~*Butterfly Kisses*~*]

Probably the greatest love song/poem I've ever heard. I like the methaphorical almost sarcastic quality of this piece. Nicely done. Brilliant work.
