I will love the words out of you

hoooooly fuck i love this poem.

[apiphile]

The original has a stark viciousness which I cannot possibly hope to emulate, but I tried my best. :)

[attack_womb]

are you kidding? you are too modest. this is brilliant.

I DO NOT KID ABOUT POETRY, MADAM.

[faeries_bite]

Okay. I DEFINITELY prefer your poems to your prose. Not to say the prose isn't good, the poems are just so much better.

i love you
(and an open hand
on the cheek; soft as a hurricane,
slow as lightning, a storm
to shake the words out)
i love

and

I will love the words out of you
on the tips of my fists
I will. I will it.

Omnomwordgasm.

*g* It is sense-making to prefer the poetry, I've been doing it for a lot longer. :) Had more chance to get good at it.

Well, practice makes something pretty darn close to perfection. I shudder to think what you could achieve with the prose in a few years time (a very very good shudder). And I despise sense-making, but on this occasion I shall make an exception.
Would your marvellously talented self be free at some point from Wednesday onwards in the week beginning the 21st?

I have absolutely no idea of my social calendar any more, I really need either a diary or a PA but "probably".

[why_me_why_not]

I absolutely LOVE this poem.
