Cliff

Your madness doesn't scare me-

I am of eons and of rocks which

will stand forever steady

You may kiss my skin with your

rabid foam, vomit me words

of all your disparities, you

only will sharpen me,

and tickle me.

(and I am laughing)

How true it is that what doesn't destroy us only makes us stronger.

But you have said it so perfectly.

Stand tall and firm as this wonderful title and poem state.We should define ourselves and not let others do that even in their negativity especially when they vomit hate words. Rise above all that fray. An excellent poem. ....:)......

lynn, a brief write that really packs a punch. Your wordplay, as it always is, is outstanding ("...vomit me words..."), telling a potential love that their particular issues are ones that you are equipped to handle. I haven't reviewed anything of yours in awhile, I hope that you at least remember me. take care...dan

[jacob erin-cilberto]

love the title...so appropriate...

i am already over that cliff so nothing a significant other could do would surprise, baffle or throw me off...

we become steady after enough experience...

we really do...

love the wording here...."rabid foam, vomit me words/ of all your disparities"

nicely done, Lynn....

Thank you so much, Jacob :)

oh how the fearful and the "critics" can barrage an adventurous and joyful soul ... oh how insidious the cries when a rock holds ... and in fact only feels them tickling .. i love this poem! well done! creative and unique approach to a negative group ... slithering around out there licking lips to tear down and destroy .. again .. well done! you ROCK!!! ;)
E.
ps i also think this is universal and multi layered .. can be applied on many levels .. intellectually pleasing.

You rock too, E! :) Thank you for bringing me your smiles, my friend

And... preciously, you laughed, of course...

Very delightful poetry it is. Sounds astounding. So full of charm. love & Romance.. that shows how two lovers, one couple pleases each other 'neath the same roof... surrounded by the wisps' of candle-lights, they hustle. Admittedly, momentary-moments it's when lovers're lost into each other & care of their emotions, playfully so.. I guess, it's a very beautiful & romantically thoughtful write that displays the gratifying scenes of lovers they make inside the room; behind the door & undoubtedly, in the kitchen & especially when they're secretly being outdoor.. under the shadow of trees, they share kisses & their tongue tickle their neck, cheeks & of course, lips as well.. with pleasure. So, if I go more deep, may be, the scenario's captured when the lovers're on cliff & romantically swung with each others. Very thought provoking imagery. One of my fav. writes! Loved the way you capture your feelings in words & paste 'em well with anew den of poetry. Wonderful work. Your poetry reminds me the carnal touch of romance & the sweet delicious but spicy flavors of longed kisses, fantasy--ically... cause, it always belongs to fantasy or the imagination of naughty mind. Great job!

Adams, a lot of thought you put into your reviews, my friend :) indeed, cliffs are such a tease to emotional currents, aren't they? Thank you for such an enthusiastic review :)

[Adam Adams]

Your welcome, dear Lynn.
Yes, of course, the cliffs're nothing but the mirage of such emotional currents which've some kinda potential to have your whole naive spirit swung with the pleasure of its own mazes/hallucinations and delusion-ments. I like how to put your emotions in words & then switch to poetic affect. It makes readers thinking ov'r the analogies of life, but along that, of course, .. thinkin' ov'r the realism of love. After all, it's love that's being resided to everyone's heart so it must be adored by the whole world for not letting people anymore blurred... into some kinda illusion of enthusiastic love ;)
