#linguistic
This is the issue With you logophiles — From your logged eye Your pleonasm — Your tautology — Your tenuous lexiphanes Are a rationalized Superiority — sculpted In alabaster vowels And lacquered tone. You genuflect towards Your own verbosity — Polished and pristine — While adding precious stones To a gilded noose Braided in adjectives.

Logophilia
“give me your linguistic promiscuity”^ Cyrano to Roxane trifle me not with sugar and spice, give me salt, and everything not nice, Campari, with a spritz of lime bitters, doubling, the bitter sexiness of your taste buds on the private parts of mine mind the body’s parts held a conference, who is the most important of us all, all spoke, touting their unique servicing functionality, at last, lastly, the tongue spoke “none so powerful as this itty bitty muscle-me, for with a chosen-few, well claimed, words whispered, can put all of us in a prison cell to rot collectively, utilizing my linguistic promiscuity, enticements seductive so beware the disastrous dissatisfied tongue, needy for 24/7 accoladed attention, fail to worship can result in bee stinging poetry, and jealousy my love is bitter, my taste buds glory in this wondrous horror” except for my Roxane <>

“give me your linguistic promiscuity”^ Cyrano to Roxane
Here I keep a metaphor, it's what matters more. Trigger my wordomine,  poets have hormones as mine. Here I keep synonyms, I'm overdosed by homonyms. Trembling cortex, shaking my narrative voices.

Cerebral Poetry
I use to write of pain and tribulation mmm I've always just been looking to feel the greatest sensation senses at peaks, they peak when they peek at the sight of elation I've always taken to sealing all my stories away in notebooks with binding finally looking to fray because the pressure they hold brings such a dismay Binded in between faded blue lines I swear im fine I swear im fine in these lines of what could have been mine and I'll lose it all in this glass of wine where red bleeds to black and I've done away with that The great purge of endless words heard by no one other than the mad man running through my head screaming that I can do anything I thought my mind and limbs had banned from the realm of possibilities Because pain ought not be sealed to live an endless life So I now write of hope and dreams and the endless possibilites that stretch from the cities and into the trees finally dancing down into these seas but I'm also writing of wishes and laughs and smiles too because what else can you do there are only a few who know everything is new everything we knew can be lost in the great blue that paints our skies and seas carrying away the bundle of keys that locks pandora's box and leaves us with happiness and cheer Because happiness can be carried in anything as simple as a tear racing down the lines of your cranial that houses your greatest fears From the lines of light blue to the minds of the hopeful and the true And words of optimism should live And breathe and smile and laugh In the hearts of the world for a lifetime and I digress In a habitat so vast With horizons reaching from sky to sky Drowned in blues and red I'm glad to of found you at last We're left to defy all that society presents as lies I wanna speak at an intimate decibel Acknowledge your flaws, don't be bound by them Open your mouth to nothing coming own Settle down in your head and make a home I just want to compliment your soul
