a curling lip can promise more or
hold the honey of the purest promise
before dawn
creamy centers and gentle shadings
give dignity to a night hope flowering
striations are so proper before a
succulent touch

First of all, let me thank you for your entry into my contest. I appreciate the time & effort that you spent on your poem immensely, because I completely recognize & understand the symptoms as being my own, as well. lol
Also, please let me apologize & ask for your understanding this somewhat generic comment; I have a migraine & need to get this contest judged so I can get to bed. I don't have a lot of time or energy to be online these days. Which is partly why I'm commenting at 3 am.
This is the part that I liked the most (for obvious reason):
"give dignity to a night hope flowering
striations are so proper before a
succulent touch"
I thank you sincerely for sharing this part of your Self with the rest of us lost, angelic souls...Keep writing...This world needs all the Poets & Scribes it can hold. Especially now.
Be good to yourself & those around you; it really does matter, as you know.
~ Wanda
