I slept into the Saturday
Morning laze
Hungover from
Nintey-eight proof
Lexis drunk
Straight from the quatrain

Vocabulary so potent
It leaves me
Heady
To see your voice
Traversing
The reserve between us

Lexis lectrons
Sprawling through
The molecular lattice works
Of my skin
From utterances of

Oh

That echo in nostalgic synapse
Sleeping in the Saturday
Laze

No twelve
Steps to therapy for this
Craving

Parched

Give me a shot
Straight up

I am Rebel
And I’m a lexiholic



 How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it. -Marcus Aurelius

DAMN!
Potent Stuff Rebel! Love the close (hell-I love this entire work!) It screams a quiet passion, layers, layers, layers of messages and sharp innuendo! Good Stuff, a touch of heat...the passionate plea of need-Ouch!

My fingers!

Til Again,

Thank you lexissa ...

this one rolled off like a guitar solo in a smokey bar -- pure feel and no thought -- it's nice when it happens like that --  you look back and say -- I'll never do that again...

the magic of feel playing  

Here's some bactine for those fingers dear...

Thanks again..

Rebel,
I could feel this piece, as I, too, am an addict, although I never get quite the results you present.  I see that this was a stream of consciousness work, just flowing onto the page...I love it when that happens.
Very good work, LR,

Kristine
