Your mediocrity reeks of brilliance.

If I could prick the tip of my finger 

with the passionate flood of your eloquence,

burn my heart with the truth of your fire,

pierce my soul with your determined spirit

so that remnants of your essence held fastened 

to my rough edges; maybe, just maybe 

I could be close to where you are.

 

Your mediocrity flaunts it's self 

with out a care in the world 

it speaks so deep it tears holes in my emotions.

Yet, frivolously you toss heart scrawls like crumbs 

that I can't seem to follow like forgotten dreams,

 

I want to speak your heart language

commune with your soul to capture you 

with brilliance that shines,

But even at the furtherest tip of your rays

 

I feel so far away. 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

So envious of the beauty you create here I hope you realise. :) hugss.

Oh SSmoothie...youhave really

Oh SSmoothie...youhave really outdone yourself here, in my opinion. This captures so succinctly what is felt when something 'slips through their fingers'. I like it because it has a more 'earhty' resonance, and is not so 'off in space', dealing with the feeling in a more real and raw way.


...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
