Yawning in my mouthspace I breathe you in regardless of stale breath, but sweeter still your skin is sleeping on mine Porcelain jigsaw limbs are hazy in heat as mid afternoon wiggles through the blind, I cannot move the lasting poison of laziness smothers shallow breathing I wouldn't move even if I could so as not to wake your skin..... |

Porcelain jigsaw limbs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ahhh Gem..that line of personifi is poetic gold... as is the expressions defined in those last 2 verses.....you captured so much imagery and emotion in this poetic vignette.. tis so good to read you again girlie.  I'll bare the brunt of your long buried pain I don't mind helping you out ... But I want you to remember my name Alanis |

England's finest rose has finally returned! Hiya, Gem Drop! I darn near sent my angel posse after you! But after reading this sultry poem, I'm glad I didn't! I wouldn't have wanted them to disturb you ~ or get any notions in their angel heads!  Loveya, Gemma! Linda |

I never know how to properly respond to poems that I like without sounding like a dork. So I'll play it safe with the "I love this" and with the "you paint a bittersweet picture with your words" how does that sound? all sincere of course. If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |
