where the wild flowers grow

Elegantly clueless.
I dedicate my time now, to her prowess.
That night, her hair dripped down like rain,
into my mouth. I drank the way she dropped,
right into me like a paper cup.

I tell her,
that her earrings look heavier
than her heart.
She reminds me of the man who gave them to her,
what he said about falling apart.

We carry our baskets for a picnic
betwixt the stars ..
She spit on her finger and
put the sun out.
We shared lips
and prose, we spoke,
as one.
Our bodies flow like a
violent fluid.

As we tried to hold our own peices together.

She looks ahead,
and I fall victim to tears I haven't yet wept.

The bittersweet sense of this is overwhelming.

A brilliant piece!  Thank you for sharing it.

=========================

This is a very cool and impressive, unique write...your employ of imagery and personification is excellent and creates a clever mix of abstract and surreal essence and expression. Those last lines are excellent and on the money for poetic impact and closure. Very well done poet Kaour...
Welcome to poetry land.

Im still imagining your voice ...
can see the sparkle in your eyes.
I cant explain your power over me
Its understated understood & beautiful.
