I'm either intoxicated

your blue eyes
string around my
little finger of happiness

Etymology

Narcissus, narcissi.
Some say that's sissy.

Others, Don't be prissy.



Though "Narcissi" is given in dictionaries as the grammatically correct plural of "Narcissus", The American Daffodil Society prefers the use of "narcissus" for both singular and plural.

[Tzara]

That dull ache
that
only you can
rid me of.

I ache to dull and rid
those feelings for you.

 

[Tzara]

a lizard crawls
out of a
brick

lizard brick warms
in weak winter sun

cold, yet blood

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

I ache to dull and rid
those feelings for you.

Feelings for me?
What can they be?
Must be poetry.

Address a dress
sulken silk
tasty lace
cobbled leather stilts

Feelings for me?
What can they be?
Must be poetry.

.......You

I dress in metaphor,
....though one that's pretty, thin.

in pain

dissolve on tongue:

in bed,
waiting.
