The world whirls and twists
As sounds, smells, tastes
Rush past, race and burst! upon
The senses:
Lips quirk against
The silent whisper
Of hair? scarf? butterfly?
...The answer lost as
The dark-metal scent
Of pencils, old chairs, blood
Tumble together.
And crash...
The sweet ache hums
To the memories of tunes half-forgotten
Even as prickles of gooseflesh
Awaken to
And twist-tang-sweet-full grape

The worlds whirls, twists
O p e n s

The blindness takes me

Original title: Blush
Now untitled

Great way to describe a first kiss!- if that was what you were doing heh heh- I just love the way you've caught random emotions and things flitting past,the heightened senses. nice!

IT's interestiong how the poem can mean something totally different if it were interpretted without the title you know.... I mean.. if you don't look at 'Blush' and then read it... it could even be the last emotions/thoughts/senses registerd by a person jumping off a building or something! You know.. the whole world flashing by thing? I don't know whether I'm being far-fetched here..but this is something that hit me...

Waiting for the next one Smoke!
