Once I spoke through words
meshing and combining
a path of rhythm
and imagery with which
to place my feet upon
on a darkly, rich
path through life.
But somehow...

Yes this is quite the mouth-candy. It's very fluid. " We sit like strangers, my toungue and my mind." - that line is amazing. We wander this earth, and those who wish to seek the answers wish for too much... I think...

'to place my feet upon on a darkly, rich path through life.' this created a comfortable vision for me, much like the dark trails i travel myself. this was intriguing and felt great on my tongue. mouth candy. i actually spoke it twice just to have the pleasure again. *cheers* very well put and placed. ~ta
