Limping from her regimen
Running on adrenaline
Engine pumping RPMs
pinion of her empire turns
the neon flashing  lip merge
Inner loins pining
nine
day surge

now seven

The mire is a lion
Roar
She's nipping at the rhyme
The linens running
Like the nile
Leaning on the iron

The irony
Of lines
Lies
She's running

On adrenaline

Unplug the girl
She's gulping pens
The nipple plug
to Rome of Poems
Her menu rings lingo
In dreams of grins

wide

Let her open like Nero
Rome can
roll in ions
Luring languid neurons
What say?
Filet the rules mignon
The men were non
Hung loping ruin

She alone
The noel rumen
The mire a lion
Let Rome
Burn

Wow! I felt the power through these words Local Rebel ... I love the way you've woven this together. I read this a few times, just enjoying the flow and pattern of the words. Really well done!  

Best wishes,

This is one that needs to be studied as well as read, and I mean that as a compliment!

over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""
