We spat kisses slick with sarcasm across the chasm that separated us, as our noses touched, but your lips were so infinitely far away, stretching to the skyline.
You said, "your scales are hurting me, can I take off your skin?"
So I changed it for a lubricated blue one, and all you could do was squirt gelatinous laughter all over it.
You laughed so hard, it was projected out from behind your eyeballs, and it lathered in my hair. "You scare me sometimes. I'm glad we're here"
[Exasperated, stagnant sigh)
"If you're quite done. Since the odds were against neither of us breaking our necks, OD-ing on acetone or maybe peroxide, or having a love affair with a butchers knife, I propose a toast to being alive, as we lie soaked in what I hope is just your cerebrospinal fluid, and not something unpleasant"
"We're not out of the woods yet, you know...
And more to the point, I'm sure you've been drenched in worse things"
"Indeed. Like my own turbulent vanity."
[There was a wet silence, but we resided in it with great contentment]
"Can I follow you home?"

I've read this probably a dozen times now if not more, and everytime I seem to have a different reaction to it. Maybe it depends on my own mood, or what I was thinking before the piece but either way the variety makes me shiver with excitement. Your phrasings only get better with time, if I didn't know you, as well as I like to think I do, then I'd think you were a warped individual. I know better, I know you're just beautiful.

AH! This is something new! This is the something new I've been looking for. I've never seen poetry written quite this way before. I love the way you completely abandoned all conventional rules of poetry and just let your self write. Thanks for this read.

Creative and witty
Its tough to get a good read on this. I'm sure of two things that it is unique and fun. Your personality speaks in this piece. (also some very nice prose in there)
