food for thought

I want to eat your words
roasted and dipped
in a balsamic
vinaigrette
then lavishly
tumbled
in sesame seed
crumbles
I want to eat your words

I want to smoke your dreams
rolled up and lit
in a big fat
cigarette
I would deeply
inhale
every pretty little
herbal detail
I want to smoke your dreams

I want to drink your intentions
straight with no chaser
in a
blue collar bar
I'd pave over well
that ribbon of highway to hell
I want to drink your intentions

I want to have you for dinner
with some sugar snap peas
and a nice Chardonnay
I'd lick clean my dish
even have seconds
if I wished
lookout
I'm gonna have you for dinner

    Now that really makes me think about the phrase, 'having company for dinner!' I like your use of repetition and the progression of stanzas.

    Quite a clever presentation, turning well-known aphorisms into provocative refrains.

why does she write so much?

She wrote... not always of what she knew but of what she wanted to know She wrote because... it came more naturally to her  than speaking She wrote because... she was a bit more s ure of  her words  that way She wrote because... no one was listening anyway She wrote... to free her thoughts and feelings otherwise she'd surely drown  She wrote because...  she was s urrounded  by stories begging for release f rom the eyes of everyday strangers She wrote of... things that tickled the armpit of her heart  and made her sing or things that stubbed the toe of her brain  and made her scream She wrote because... some words needed to see more of each other and putting them together in a sentence  was a lovely way of doing that She wrote because... it was only through h er words that she felt d esired She wrote because... she was incredibly s elf absorbed She wrote because... she was addicted to t he color white and she coul...
