she's a poet's rendering his taste in musical feet the iambics of soft locks drifting out of rhyme, but still flowing magnanimously into his words, her skin a palette for the paradox of smooth soul
the beat encountered is a kiss of longing and the longevity of feelings that will never dry on the canvass
I don't think I could say it any better than barleygirl. She captured it perfectly. This is beautifully written, Jacob. You are a master poet. I always enjoy your poetry. Write on! :)
This one is especially smooth-flowing & full of great word choices to convey contrasts of feelings. I always enjoy the way you weave between ideas like writing & creating music & painting.
i am longing to be in love with this poetess ... all risks be damned ;) the contrasts between classical form and free verse so apt in describing when it comes to loving ... the title ...i paused and said ..oh i wish she was writing one for me ... first two lines ..oh she is praising him by trying to speak his language ..technically faulty ..her emotions expressed overpower and diminish these "mistakes" ... i love the "beat encountered" ... you move me with this one Jacob ..a big keeper in my books!
