I love the way
You synchronize
With my eventualities.
My unholy integrals beckon
Your sick-sweet tincture,
Let others think what they will
I’ve enough pills to swallow.
–
So seldom do we
Live our lessons.
If it were enough
To struggle, my ideals
Might yet embark.
I’d rather draw an X
Than contemplate
Another map.
–
The tip of my tongue
Will suffice in conversation.
If I speak softly enough
Perchance you will hear
An answer not blasted by ego.
The tint of your smile
Stains my cheek
And what more can
Any man ask.

You have a gift for always writing an opening that pulls the reader in–those first 3 lines are SO Rich!!
Thank you so much =)
Would be nice to have answers unburdened by ego. Having cheeks tinted by their smile is cool image as well. And its always best to let others think what they will — and for us to think what we will – its our life, and we should follow our own will.
We absolutely should! Thank you X =)
This is a softer quieter version – which is fascinating – because there is always an edge – yet the softer, more caressing lines – are equally evocative and powerful 🙂
Thank you so much for your lovely words
