A living embodiment of artistry
Charming and vivid, your beauty
Renders you untouchable
Devious in your labyrinthine
Simplicity, I add texture
To our quiet encounters
Painting you with my own
Patterned expectations
=
You fall into enigma
Pendulous these formless
Feelings sway heavily
In my heart
Gaining momentum
With your resonance
=
In my dreams we coil
Around each other
In reality we only mingle
Pulling away before
Embrace, so close
But never close enough
=
You allude me, painted
Serpentine tongue, your
Halcyon words become venom
And this infection may
Only be in the larval stage
But through you I now decay
=
You dilute me with watery eyes
A bird against the window pane
I will beat myself to death
To get close to you
You who I now see through
Is there anything inside
Or are you really just a
Flamboyant mistake?

(I realize how far behind I am and I can’t tell my ass from my head at the moment oh how to catch up lol My writing is still shaky though I did feel inspired by this picture I don’t feel I was able to convey the poem in my heart fully)
mindlovemisery 
definitely not a flamboyant mistake! great poem
Thank you so much =)
Very rich, deep and textured. Love the questioning, seeking tone through out. I see you might be on twitter. I’ll try and link up with you there. Great Magpie.
I have Facebook but no Twitter account on facebook you could find me with my email kesaiserris@gmail.com I think but I really post mostly here lol. Thank you so much that’s so sweet of you to say
Which explains why I cud not find you on twitter – I don’t do facebook – enough distraction with blog & twitter I’m afraid. I’ll see if I can follow your blog – follow back only if you want. Thanks.
I think the subscription option is on a grey tool bar at the top, I’ll go check out yours and see if I can follow you =)
oh I am thinking dangerous laisons….wonderfully evocative and sensual…great work!
You are too clever for your own good lol Thank you so much
Loved it — each stanza was also a free standing poem, and I loved them separately as well as the way they interacted. Such a nice take on the prompt. Well done!
Awww thank you so much I am happy to hear them!
very toxic relationship!
Indeed!
…the fourth verse took the breath away… i like the sensitivity you put in here…

Thank you, you are so kind =)
This is immense … intense! I love it.
Thank you so much Helen =)
Your writing is shaky?! Are you kidding me? š I loved your magpie! Wonderful indeed š
Awww thank you I am so glad you liked it =)
Your words tore into my chest and gave my heart a hard squeeze. Too hard.
Aww hugs
What do you mean, your writing is still shaky?
This most certainly isn’t.
It is good. By good I mean good.
Thank you I am glad you think so =)
I thought this was excellent. Life is confusing at times and only bits and pieces revel at times. And the points did come across.
Thank you Grammy E =)
Hi– I think you did an overall beautiful job with the prompt. I love the serpentine tongues and the idea of dilution– it is difficult to write about feelings as entities without becoming abstract– try for more concretion/image/metaphor– and perhaps let some free association take you away from the prompt into something more palpable, perhaps. You have beautiful facility with language! xxxj
Thank you for your comments =) I like the abstract imagery it’s fun to work with so long as I makes sense lol
Definitely not the best of relationships! Good poem.
Indeed not but I think quite common unrequited love
There are some images that evoke so much in us; yet words elude us to describe those thoughts. Therein perhaps lies the power of a visual.. .
Enjoyed reading the poem.
I really enjoyed this visual because its so abstract. I was amazed by the other posts oddly I hadn’t even thought of fish at all when I saw this until I read the other prompts at which point I could definitely see it. When my 3 year old daughter saw it, she told me very matter-of-factly that they were fish lol That’s what I love about abstract we all see different things. Thank you so much =)
“A bird against the window pane
I will beat myself to death
To get close to you”
striking imagery!
“Painting you with my own
Patterned expectations”
how often do we make that mistake? {unfortunately, i made it over and over and over again.}
this is a fabulous take on the prompt!
Me too! All the time more than I ever want to admit lol Thank you so much!
You are so talented mlm – a pure artist of words. Perfection.

Awww thank you so much you’re so sweet!
What you HAVE managed to convey is brilliance enough! I’m really touched by your work – and amazed. The third stanza blew me away. ….
Thank you so much you are so nice Lena =)
“Your beauty

Liked your take on relationships. Beautifully written.
I am so glad you liked it thanks =)
