DarkPoetry -|- King_Crazy_Dave -|- short of breath

short of breath

I would break beats around curves
slant rhyme soul, stitching
seas of silky stanza
lacing up a stunning whole
I would apply acrostic
Lust
On
Velvet
Eloquence

and stun with wit,
or punctuate like lining
dotted eyes and crossing tea stained
memories
building up in words what is
most amazing
grazing hardly the crust
that shells this molten core

and let you know in fact it’s you
who sparks this
art

but,

it is said that
the words of a poet
mirror their life
and in life you are breathtaking

so I would stitch said
silk stanzas
though cant, for I’m left speechless.
