For lobelia321, who wanted experimental fic. I honestly have no fucking idea what the hell came over me.


I.

Sunrise in another
Anonymous city
In another
Anonymous hotel. Anonymous
And cold, a stranger
With resentful eyes that
Follows me as
I attempt
To place my mark
On unforgiving décor.

I can hear
The creaks within
The walls, the
Muffled voices outside
The door. Of lives
Continuing on, selfish
And uncaring of
What's outside their
Sight. I can smell
Freshly laundered sheets, sterile
And clean, sterile
Like the painting that
Looks down upon
The too-large bed.

Empty and static.
No life.
No color.

But then nothing's had color since you went away.


II.

The beach is beautiful
The waves a clear grey, speckled
With white foam, lapping
At the shore and
My toes with
Eager licks. The breeze
Barely stirs the air
But I can taste
The sea salt, smell the
Brine, and the scent
Reminds me
Of your skin.

When you see
The beach, do you
Think of me
Sometimes? Do you
Remember the sunrise
Christening our
Kisses with gold? Do you
Remember digging your toes
In warm sand and looking
Over the waves
As we poured our
Souls to each
Other, with the
Ocean keeping our
Secrets, carefully
Hoarding each touch
For further reflection?


III.

When you lie
Upon your sheets in your
Too-large bed in your anonymous
Hotel room, do you
Remember the haven we'd
Created within walls, within
Ourselves, a place so wondrous
And pure that no one
Could breach?

If those walls had
Stories to tell, what
Would ours be? What
Message would we write
For those who come after, full
Of their own drama
And conflict, what message
Would we give
To make them pause? I could
Share the secret of your
Laugh, but I think I'll
Keep it for myself. I'm
Not too old
To be selfish.


IV.

I stare
At the canvas, at
The white, the
Blank void, and
I can see the shadow
Of your hip, the curve
And indention, freshly marked
From my fingers, a secret
That only I know.

I used to know all your secrets.

That was beautiful

Thank you so much!!!!!

I love it when you a) write melancholy moods, and b) push yourself to do something you don't usually do. And, of course, I love having inspired this! I especially liked the line about the unforgiving décor -- somehow so mundane within this lyrical text. Also the shadow of the hip, I liked that.

Sometimes I miss the heady days when we all used to spur each other on to do things we'd never tried before!

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

I miss those days myself. *loves* But I'm glad you inspired me to this, even though I'm still all O.O that I wrote Viggo poetry. *blinks*

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

*blinks along with you*

(Nothing wrong with blinking, though!)

I love the tone (of course, doesn't it just have "Dee" written all over it? *G*), but I am curious as to why you chose that format for it. I mean, it is</> just sentences. At least, that's how I read it, as sentences thatwere just a little harder to read because of the formatting. Was it just the "experimental" challenge that made you decide to break the lines?

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

Well, that's all Viggo does, really. Read his poetry again. All he does is write stories & thoughts & break them up, and when he reads them aloud, he reads them as stories, with the proper inflections & such.

So, I guess it was as much an experiment to write as Viggo would as it was anything else.

[hithluin.livejournal.com]

Wow.

It reads exactly like something Viggo would have written, and I think you've done it just beautifully. The mood reminds me of your fic "Exidera" and "Desiderium".

Write more of the ilk and I'll still be wiggling my toes in much contented happiness *grins*

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

Huh. You know, I totally wasn't even thinking about those two when I wrote it, but you're right. It's very much so that Viggo.

*laughs*

I wrote a third part & didn't even know it. Go me. *g*

Glad you liked it, hon! <333

Thank you!

Much Love

Thank you so much!!!!

[admirabile.livejournal.com]

Nice. So so so so nice. Yeah. More than that, but my words can't even begin to compete with yours, so I'll leave you with nice and hope that you know I thought it was so much more than that.

Thank you. <333
