DarkPoetry -|- Six-Out -|- she spoke tangerine.

she spoke tangerine.

she spoke tangerine to me
lips painted a shade too light for the mysteries.
that seep from them. like smoke rings
and the soft songs that she.ever.
so delicately sings.

her voice a cancer- and she's a cigarette that begs.
to be lit. screaming: dying has never been so [beautiful]
and .god.

[I love her passion]

but she hates the way the sky looks.
when the stars play hide and seek- and we sing.
maybe death has always been this beautiful
tragedy just paints it rue.
titian promises- she speaks coral

and bittersweet doesn't define her eyes.
as they speak what we fight to put to words.
she ignites me.

the stars are flickering. I'm breathless.

Aww! That was absolutely lovely. It made me feel all giggly inside, and fluttery. I guess that's what it's supposed to do then.

I fail at comments, especially on your poetry, so I'm just going to ask one question: when do we make love?

ravishing, breathy eloquence.. the touch on hedonism and dangerous beauty is so poignant and attractive, picturesque tangerine, softly blinding.
