Common-sense, malleable dents,
Neat thoughts, mechanism: defence,
Black and white, mind-strength,
Kept him at arm’s length,
As the sun hung deep in the sky.
Can’t let you in, says brain within,
Heart seeping with broken sin,
Complications hiding in bearskin,
Drowning in a head spin,
Water waving green passing by.
Gently tapping, Laputian hammer,
Relentless emotion guiding grammar,
Words stutter and voices stammer,
White rabbit in white glamour,
Lips met, and she breathed.
i really liked your poem and it needs much wisdom to know whom to let in and whom better not..nice image as well..

yes: trying to decipher the other person it’s a prickly situation, glad you like the image, I wasn’t going to use it as the spacing is not quite right but then, the first kiss is an awkward moment as well right so it kinda fits all together!

Good one – brain loses when lips meet, yup. I also like the form you used here, succinct and clever.

Thank you! I was wondering if it was a little short but thought I would leave it at that and let imagination do the rest!

I could feel the fear of letting go. Well done.
