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

Well...

I did come here to review the beauty that is artistic freedom, but I must admit that I'm finding myself more interested in the war of words below me. Guilty pleasure I guess.

Why does it seem that more and more avatar-hidden embryos (obviously because of having not matured to the point of babes) have come here with the purpose of playing righteous evangelist to a genre or art that originated and flourished through a medium we like to call SELF-expression--meaning that the interpretation and beauty belong to the creator? The objections seem to be held, not in the finished painting itself but in the choice of paint. And yet, if we all painted the same things how bland this site and the world of art would be. I do not understand individuals who use a review space on an art project to try and change the morale of the artist. And why come to the defense of someone who obviously set out to offend with both reviews they placed? This is neither the time nor the place to play vigilante. And yet, vigilante is just what some wish to be.

Your love for words is truly superior to most (obviously, as I look below me again), and it has never failed you in your time of need. It's no wonder that you would sing of such devotion with melodious ink scribbles. Your best makes the rest pitiable.

Sincerely, dovely.

@ Piggy~ enrage me? silly piggly~ rage is for amatures~ I just use my block button~ =)~ and to fulfill your accusations of juvenile antics . . . . well~let me squeeze my mind into your corseted level for a second and say "suck it" =)~

reading this is like drinking in a steaming cup of hot chocolate...the belgian kind...or maybe a nice glass of amaro, it all goes down smooth and rich, with herbal tones of complexity, satisfaction, and a yummy feeling at the base of your brainstem

Methinks you missed the point entirely with regard to Africa. IE: Had you used the word 'love' instead of f**k in your poem and she'd said, good luck with the 'love' you wouldn't have been offended. As it stands, it would appear you are offended by your own word choice and the simple repetition of what YOU wrote. To take offense at someone imitating YOUR word choice is somewhat...well, let's not enrage you any more and reuse YOUR word, juvenile :-)

Breathtaking. You wrote Her a love poem while in the very act of making love to Her. I don't generally read poetry all that much, but this...Oh, I can just sink into it, dive in.

Incredible testament to the seductive power of those odd black squigglies dancing across my screen. I can't wait to read more.

You are astounding.

F**k!! This is excellent. It sure made me feel better.. about the art of poetics.
Thanks for always being true to you, Selene.

[Aidz]

Alluring in its intent to seduce and weave its magical ink upon this sleeve carved in glass and open a heart and profess its love

As always Selene

[Hoskinsish]

I loved this. It was so witty and beautiful. And the flow was perfect. I am speechless, accept of course for these few lines here.
