You know the danger of beautiful verses -
artisan words and
shadow dance tricks,
secrets from the warm velvet box
that turn the night humid -
and tirades,
playthings of the damned
and beautiful people
who burn too brightly
and assault the air
like acrobats of words.

Words often mean more than what is apparent. A real tapestry with layered meanings. As usual love you express it so well :heart:

"An acrobat of words." That's such a perfect description. You, my dear, are far too acrobatic for anyone's good. :D

If the Eskimos have 100 words for love, high school students bent on your destruction have at least that many for “asshole.”

Little bit of deja vu here...I was playing poker online night before last and made the comment that I was an "acrobat of poetry" as the conversation on the table had somehow turned to circus metaphors as a theme. *laughs* This is so close to that its scary! Wonderful piece here, I love it.

One is not to get your hearts desire.
