I'd trickle tears of glitter
From my black-bead eyes,
Breeze-craving windows to my soul
Sewn to my integrity
Because when you whisk and cut my pullstring


In broken notes i shall resonate



"love me"



And i'll keep those tears forever
I'll affix them as crestfallen sequins
In front of my dilapidated doll-tux
That'll patch my emotions
Or what other people call my stuffings
So when you shake me violently
(maybe i'll lose an eye)


I'll still be smiling
With a threadbare beam








And no...
That aint avant garde my dears

if it's not avant garde then it's freshly offbeat; a pyschological labryinth of teasing imagery and dripping melancholia...sublime, head cracking crazy...a 'cool effort'no doubt!!

The large spaces between the stanzas helps to echo the feeling of emptiness and loneliness. Excellent work. :3

"That'll patch my emotions, or what other people call my stuffings." Truthful & very beautiful write. Very good job on this one. The imagery was tantalizing.
