Copper Hair I see pieces of their mindCopper Hair by ~almond-cookie
In their copper hair
That shines, bathed in streetlight
I hear the melody of their soul
In their hunched shoulders
That cry, saturated with neglect
Their green eyes stare
With harsh fluorescence
And underground passion
Prismatic shapes dance
On the sidewalk
With undertones of mystery
I don't feel anything

“The Princess and the Dragon” by :devrushy:
The suggester writes "I don't usually like rhyming poems,
but this gem tells a wonderful story." Upon study, the reader
will agree. The rhyme doesn't disturb the flow, and the poem
itself is indeed a wonderful read.
Popularity Even with my star ascendingPopularity by ~Cibbwin
I feel the need to keep pretending
That you awe me
And how could you not?
You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the source of the illusion
I provide my own illumination
You are gracious
In your aid of this deception;
Even today, proven wrong,
Public secrets still inspire
What kind of fool would I be
Not to sit at your feet
Devouring every scrap of wisdom
Rolling off your proud chin?
It all makes perfect sense,
It pisses me off nonetheless
Maybe if I found a reason
Blather on and on about my turmoil,
I could reach the pinnacle
Wear the crown like you before me
If I also chronicle ev

begin to resemble blinking strobes
and I'm transported
the night and this music is one
and I'm transported
if nothing else, we shared
an attraction to clarity
Kevin's bright blue eyes
or a perfect twilight:
passionate kisses
from both sun and moon
but the space between us
was so much cold air
money wouldn't bring joy
but it offered spontaneity
money wouldn't buy friends
but it bought rounds and rounds of drinks
you preferred the unknown
to the well-trodden
but in time
everything congeals
I'd sooner the familiar
to the slightly more dangerous
but given time
Intimacy Glares This is an ideal way, theIntimacy Glares by ~Cibbwin
Only way to look at you:
With six feet between us
And a lamp like a halo
On the shelf above you
As it obscures
Your delicate, soft face,
And bathes your beard
In a buttery glow,
I whisper a grateful little prayer
But the gentle beauty
Of your perfect shading
Is marred by hawk-like orbs:
Your blue eyes ranging
Lingering all over me
This is the only way I can delay
Bathing in those pools
Because as I dive deeper
The earnest affection found there
Baffles me and leaves me bare

You have been missed.
I've been doing good. Working and planning. That's about it. Haven't done much on the writing front though.
How about you? How have you been?

It's hard to find time right now.
Otherwise, daily grind is all I can say.
