they taste a lot like lithium, your lies
(those exquisite, spun sugar untruths
that don’t sound enough like silence)
my ear drinks them in like need



let me try again.



they feel like silk

Yes.

luxurious and slippery
exquisite and opaque
(best when naked)

I revel best in your fictions
your lies your lying tongue
succumb best to your fancies
your arts your artisan hands
relax best in the

empty

in the negative spaces
in the addictive moments
when you whisper

and whisper

and whisper

and say



nothing

Jess,

This one is carved out with a unique
and well crafted style.

Impressive poem!

Absolutely love the close.

Hell, I love the whole poem
but, you get my point.

Keep on pushin' that pen hot stuff!

thanks,
andy

Powerful and moving piece!
Enjoyed the spill,
especially liked this strophe...

"luxurious and slippery
exquisite and opaque
(best when naked)"

Smiles!
Bobby

Hello Jess

Those damn lies entice in sweet filigree. Emotions so wonderfully captured with verve.

Excellent.

Max

Jessica, Oh Jessica,

Congratulations on the award
and the ROTD selection.

Stopped in for read number two
and I have to say the way this
poem reads (as a result of the layout)
reminds me how important line breaks
and space can be when posting a poem.

So very well done.

So much for your missing muse! LOL

best,
andy
