Marzipan
Currently Reading
HIV, Mon Amour: Poems
By Tory Dent
see relatedThose lips, which parted, holding marzipan
sweet almond in her kiss and knowing
just how much I love the taste of her, she
leans into me, pushes her face to mine.The rain outside becomes staccato in
octaves, echoing across the shallow space
of night. Her body lithe: a piano, a cello, a
violin. Certainly an instrument to my inventing
mind. But she does not belong to me.Outside of our four walls the moon is
nothing if not so much of white. And
rocking our sleeping minds back and forth
like newborns, that plum dark sea
protectively embraces the idea of what
we might become if left alone.

thanks! i wish i were an art major. i'm a biological sciences major with a physiology emphasis (hence so much studying to do). i wanted to do a minor in art, but classes are hard to get in since art is the smaller major in this university, versus the bio science majors. how about you? english major? =)
thanks for help, but I still not find it unluckily. what's near the botton?? Thanks anyway.
so do i
but eh
whatever floats her boat
shes so nerdy but i love her
and thanks

The visuals here are beautiful...
thanks for your comment,
the pictures in your site are amazing. your an art major?
I really liked this piece - its sensuous and well-balanced (and I am sorry my descriptors sound like I am describing a perfume). Only one note: I would be wary of using a term like "wine-dark sea" because it is, as you know, old as Homer and overused.
Thanks for the comment - it was unexpected and, strange as it may sound, moving. I miss you as well, and wish we had more moments to talk.
@AntigoneDreamsOfTomorrow - Yes! These were exactly my thoughts... I knew I should revise wine dark sea... it just, sounds so pretty... ::sighs wistfully whilst preparing to break out editing pen::
Thank you.
Uh, my last post is really a filler (don't tell anyone
), culled & hastily revised from a hastily written response assigned in a class. You are free to read it, but soon I hope to put up a post which is outrageous and overly dramatic (and, in my book, more interesting) - even vaguely sexual? A first for my blog.
Ohhhhhhhhh~
**kissing**.
