Café



        Bury my lovely
        Bury the lies
        Bury me under
        A thousand goodbyes


        --October Project, Bury My Lovely


she sipped her coffee
smiled with her lips against the cup
he loved that/
he excavated
she curled with warm blankets
and hummed notes
curiously hard to harmonize/
he turned up the volume
on a dare
and dream-devoured
every proof in her carnal geometry/
she stared into his colors
and sugared the lattice of her DNA

This is like a driving chord progression that speaks more than the lyrics can.

I like the sense of advancing and retreating...until she drops the distractions and lets him in. A bold, and sweet, convergence of the masculine and feminine. Lovely, Jason.

Girl with the Mask, thanks for telling me so. :)

Paisley, it was a kind of half artsy, half chemical progression. I liked the window into their thoughts too.

Sarah, like the dance of uncertainties finding a rhythm. Perhaps why the moment persists, even after the dark weight of the introduction.

Nothingman, I'd like to use that as a blurb! What an uber-cool description. Much appreciated!

Jason,
Your words, like a lady in lingerie, are more enticing than a naked truth.
Pleasing to my imagination.

Aggie, thanks. It's fun to see what every day brings.

Geraldine, something a bit suggestive there. ;)

Meghan, I was looking for a different take on describing on describing the wonders of female beauty.

Jaye, thanks! :) Who knew organic chemistry could be so inspiring?

Fancy, my pleasure, my friend.

Remiman, so true. What's not said, not seen, is like gasoline thrown on the fire.
