I want to burn the night into syllables
I want to go out in a sequin mini skirt and roast myself over coals
dancing until I bleed your DNA
I want to sit here and dissolve into the opaque of the walls and the pitch of my horror.
Your lips are scarlet, when you bite them for wanting
and I feel 16 again
pulsing with the urge to devour
every particle
every fucking falling star
crashing and rising
as we do
retrograde in mercury
I wondered where all the comments were, Candice!😧
(They don’t show up on my WordPress Reader now.)
Of course, you always write too beautifully not to have any!✨😍
(So I found them over here. Sorry, I’m a bit slow on the tech side, LOL!)
To feel 16 again, all nerve endings, appetites, and hormones, and to have a lover who sends you there …
Great opening line!
Awesome! This is great! So powerful! <3
Wonderful use of language. The first line in particular is a gem.
Yeah, baby!! Love the energy of this piece, Candy!
Powerful emotions
Thank you sweetheart. Thank you! Many still call me Candice and you called me Candy from early on, that’s how I knew we’d be fast-friends.
Dear Nikita, thank you dearly. I love your work. It is such an honor that you like this. Thank you.
Dear Bartholomew, thank you. I hope the rest of the poem wasn’t a disappointment and I so appreciate you reading.
I would never wish to BE 16 again, but sometimes the feeling … not sure … might make me mad!
Oh goodness, I am terribly disinterested in tech so I am with you there! I think it’s frustrating because (and Thank you so much my friend for taking the time to read this) My reading stats have been way down since leaving WP. I think because in order to read, people have to click and it takes them to my site, rather than WP which makes it an extra step. I so appreciate you taking the time to make the extra step. xo
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much dear Carol Anne
I wouldn’t be 16 again for any amount of money or power. Still, the best feeling of 16, wow.
I see notification of new posts in the notifications drop down, but not of comments. If I cn find a way to fix that in Settings, I’ll let you know. I do get email of comments and new posts.
