maxthehitman 1,729 Posted April 11, 2020 I like this poem Surely this is a LOVE Poem, about a torrid love affair. About who?I do not know, someone only SHE knows of. We shall wait for a name to be added to the pages of her poem. It could be about ME 0 Quote - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slang 1,533 Posted April 14, 2020 You move like water sweet baby sweet waiter making the night smile to no one you cater silent wood worker from midnight till later my lover my laughter my armor my maker The way that i feel with you is something like aching a universe hung like a mobile the alignment of these planets unique in me the earth moves around the sun one of my favorite lines:"inside of my stomach the cosmos are baking", is currently left out of the text transcription (after "something like aching"). This is a nice poem. It's either very deep or very shallow (kind of an LDR modus-operandi thing). Also I suppose "crying crustaceon", as being LDR, is now pretty comprehensible, given her recent astrological sign-change from gemini to cancer. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PARADIXO 33,091 Posted April 14, 2020 Possible my favorite poem of hers It still bugs me though, as @@evilentity noted, the incorrect plural "cosmos". This is a nice poem. It's either very deep or very shallow (kind of an LDR modus-operandi thing). Also I suppose "crying crustaceon", as being LDR, is now pretty comprehensible, given her recent astrological sign-change from gemini to cancer. Yeah definitely. This whole part: in me the earth moves around the sun no land all sea water world sun chaser tropic of cancer southern equater i'm the crying crustacean is her referring her Leo Mooon and Cancer Sun. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
