Love's Lingo

What sets me apart is sway of hips
And salty air surrounding reddened lips
I'd like to drink in her rich language between sips
And lazily mouthing her elliptical scythe name
As I drink her in (carefree) of the game

Slower without pause I find her hands
Drawing for me letters and words of different lands
Soon for me to understand what she understands
With lines I spoke borrowed from harlequinn's journal
Ripe now for infectious seed or kernel

A single movements love of life records
Unable to break through, words are words; types of swords
Ill suited for the slaying of forgotten hearts
Once consumed by the fire she starts
-----------------
Not a big differnce i know  
I got a lot of work done on my trip

This shouldn't have gotten to the third page without a reply. There is too much posting and not enough replying. I really liked this poem. The first stanza really caught my attention. There's just something about it that I really liked.

I really liked this one.  Great job.  I didn't read it before it was revised, but I like it.

Someone once taught me that it doesn't matter what other people think of you as long as you like yourself.  That's what I live by.

I found this to be really good except when it hit the last stanza. You had a fantastic rhyme scheme and flow happening, then in came this stanza missing a line and not at all like the rest. The imagery, yes it was good but that doesn't mean a thing then you start out with a format that you don't carry through with. I'd advise that you have another look at this. It was good but it has the potential to be great.

Like you said not a big difference.  This is still a well written poem.  Nicely done.
