Nestle between spaces,
spoon commas, snuggle brackets,
fondle the line yearning ‘enter’.
Impregnate ‘caps lock’, begetting
‘OHHHHH AHHHHH OOOHH AAAHHH!
DON’T STOP!’
It is here where acceptance lies,
truth resides,
freedom sighs...
Let my words incubate;
bragging constant temperature,
never losing cool,
even
when you do.
Every letter, a fibre
peristaltically woven into
an unbuttoned yawn.
This blanket, incapable
of choosing air
over you
to wrap itself around.
It is here acceptance lies
truth resides,
freedom sighs...
Sleep dear.
I shall assemble your bed
out of dashes
that stay,
colons that spray
not shit like you're used to.
Semi’s I torture
into a mirrored positioning
of tainted smudges
Stand proud,
so mouth and fingers
can siphon your hyphen!
Lust is mimicry.
Copy that?
It is here where acceptance lies,
truth resides,
freedom sighs...
Perch and study
this fine arena.
Have you not found
a more fanciful floor
to prance upon?
A safe place to let loose and
dance upon?
Well baby,
Acceptance, truth
and freedom lie
in
one
haunting,
inevitable
goodbye...

Put together rather intense, but it could be how I'm reading the words:"Semi

You are such the hopeless romantic.
This is a wonderful write, full of clever wordplay and hidden meanings that I'm sure somebody gets the gist of... I do have to agree with Abu, that the words "colon" and "shit" are hard to put in the same line without conjuring unpleasant mental visuals!

The mental visuals were fully intended! and yes, yes the recipient is prone to being a little turd anyhow, so it works I think!

Ooooooh!
It was so good, truly original. The word 'shit' somehow seemed out of place, and it led me to read in a less attentive way, so that by the end I was thinking of those comics who would get a laugh from :"Oh, she can syphon my hyphen any time!" And I was lost, especially as it is a certainty that I shall use the line 'off the cuff' in the near future, having carefully manoevered the conversation round. How low is that! I am sorry, I have not done your clever and personal poem justice.
