the taste of slience, oh yes
we all speak of it now
but to me, taste is reality
the taste of silence
when so loudly spoken from my own lips~well,
the taste buds inside this flamboyant mouth
don't even hint to have sensed...scensed.

but the taste of silence, so harshly
when given from your victor's hand
endures a chain reaction
of all of the senses
one after another
and leaves you
as well as me (if not moreso)
sucking on your own toes
so silence is unwelcome cheese

for i don't know about you
but this poets foot couldn't possibly
be shoved so deep
even with such a big, "pillow-lipped" mouth.
maybe silence is to remind me (and us all?)
of the taste of a petroleum based lubricant
to fit such a large "human-to-earth" stabilizer
into such a wishfully larger than reality orafice.
but, just in case, i offer this
i'm not very good at interpreting the nothing
of all you have to say inaudibly.


i'll always need a friend, one i can defend.

NICE...

I love the "lay-out" of the land here. This opener, is actually quite dramatic, and summoned a dark stage and spotlight in my mind:

the taste of slience, oh yes
we all speak of it now
but to me, taste is reality
the taste of silence
when so loudly spoken from my own lips~well,
the taste buds inside this flamboyant mouth
don't even hint to have sensed...scensed.

I can picture darkness talkin', I can.

loved the tone, dark, moody and sorta dank--

thanks! heh heh.

A nice "Poor Slience, I knew him well" kind of soliloquy.

to fit such a large "human-to-earth" stabilizer

Very cool work here, Eve! One of your best efforts! I liked!
(As much as I have also liked the Eve/Devina boy/girl thingy. It's a hoot!)

Hmmm... whoa!  This is wildly uneven.  Lopsided almost to the point of unstability.  I give you definite creative points, but I'm going to have to dock you on the structure and theme.

I found that the beginning started very symbolicly, very unreal like.  Then, as we progress through the poem, things start to become a little different.  Finally, by the end, I felt as if the poetry was yelling at me - forcing a message upon me.  

While I think the words and flow are quite impressive, i think this poem could use an edit.  Perhaps trim this down to half the size and work on more powerful imagery.  Stay focused and sweep a theme throughout the piece.  

You seem to have the talent for writing, you just need to harness it.

Great job.

I guess since I put my foot in my mouth today in a big way, I found this to be most apropo!
I had forgotten the days of your forcing fetishes into everyday situations...lol.

Still a masterpiece, Eve!

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere
