Rippling over my flesh
and overwhelming my senses
I yearn for a new hold
Black lace and red toenails
take in every detail,
Swallow me whole
Commanding little girl
likes to watch flowers
blooming in her hands
Dare to express yourself
on my thick canvas
You’ll find it’s easy
even with the lights on
Don’t worry yourself with pain
for I don’t break so easily
and you’d be surprised
what tastes you can acquire
with a lack of inhibitions

I'm talking about... just being free of mind. Exposing yourself to anything and allowing yourself to enjoy it.

Exposing yourself to everything and liking it. Hmmmm, I can think of a few things now.  I particularly (?spelling?) like the lines

"Don't worry yourself with pain
for I don't break so easily"

(shrugs) Great write.  Later

The language you always use in your poems are even worth the read, Jaime...
I always look forward to reading you work, and this is certainly not an exception.  I really liked the language, and the darkness was wonderful.  Very well-written piece you have... I'm impressed, and you should be proud
Job well done!

(And psst - late congrats on 1,000 posts!!!)

You command so many images with your words, Jaime..I like this one I truly do..and it's weird that I read this after I did something that I've been waiting to do after 2 years...

I was reading this one afresh... and, damn, it's splendid! *nods*

"Rippling over my flesh
and overwhelming my senses"

The ease with which this line cleary depicts the feelings flowing.... damn good.

"Dare to express yourself
on my thick canvas
You’ll find it’s easy
even with the lights on"

If one dares to be free of worry, free of stress, free of fear, the possibilities are endless. I love the metaphor of the 'thick canvas." Do you mean truely art? No.... But what of one whom with your help expresses themself? Or one who uses you to express themself? There are many, many ways on could go with this.

"for I don’t break so easily


*nods*

"and you’d be surprised
what tastes you can acquire
with a lack of inhibitions"

These lines are by far my favorites. So true it is! Be willing to explore, and theres no end to what you can experiience and accomplish! Pukka, dear.

You're work always drips of euphemism and metaphor.... I'm not sure if it's on purpose...I can picture something else entirely than what you said.

Double meanings rock...this was great.
