[slimwarriorkhan]

prompt: explosive, heliotrope, turquoise

mermaidsbite

The life I live is violet As the heliotrope in bloom Once it was a comfortable hue Somehow made explosive Minds race and tears fall How waves of turquoise crash And wash the world to sea

[slimwarriorkhan]

prompt: artisan, courtesan, fan

mermaidsbite

Sweat rolls slowly, softly The length of courtesan legs Carried with the warmth Created in between Their bodies sudden shudder beneath the cooling fan waiting for this moment connected to the next all hopes of drawing out their artisan desires

[slimwarriorkhan]

prompt: protection, reflection

mermaidsbite

she speaks to me in words in a voice I’ve never heard but what I imagine can’t possibly be true perhaps there’s no such thing or again I’ve over thought still I close my eyes and dream as she leads me so astray

I find myself beyond the shore Sought protection from the sea Somewhere beneath the sun Among the living calm I suffer my cares no longer As in my times of dryness And look for her reflection Along the breaking waves

regret

And even if on the scales of life they owe you nothing and indeed you owe for the fire in your head you still feel lost when they are not there

[tedibear1]

Oh where did you go (mermaidsbite)

As gravity pulls on my heavy heart once more My eyes couldn’t help but follow with dribbling tears of pain and agony and lost emotions

lost words

I cannot grasp the disappointment In me

I miss you I miss you more than you’ll ever know…

Commentary

One Mermaids definition of no good maybe another mans definition of dazzling

Couldn't they just create their own art instead of bothering yours? smh... arrogance on a whole new level. Bad taste, indeed.

That's very presumptuous for someone to do that to you! Good point and you should be offended! You did not invite this person to revise your words... ----------- actually yes this is a new level. and i was really trying to take my time, last night and today, trying to figure out what exactly gets me so offended. since it is one thing,  not being able to take criticism seriously or being blind to the value of a good critique. i can handle someone telling me what they do, or do not like, suggesting me what could be changed but i can not handle someone making things worse and that with all the wrong intent. since the person, obviously had the intention of making it sound more "english" and that, is not even possible ;) besides that i am not perfect and have no problem with having revisions of my poetry but then i usually ask for it.

I don’t have enough words, only these: There are times to ignore the thesaurus.

I hunt synonyms for love but all I do is find antonyms instead, breaking us apart.

I keep trying to find other words for truth, Settle on cheap lies like beauty and not you.

I call you honey as if you were a bee and I’m somehow shocked when you sting me.

There are times to ignore the thesaurus, There are times only simple truths matter.

There are times when cleverness ruins all, There are times to ignore the thesaurus.

So many times to ignore your synonym finder.
