Description
tension spills across the table inmilky puddles.
condensation glides through
the furniture-dotted rooms
leaving sticky perspiration
spider webbing across door frames.
in isolated claustrophobia,
faint plum coloured wine tattoos
polar white shag carpet.
it spins tales of drunken nights
with too many words released
from the safety of vertebrae
to the eternal location nestled
behind widened retinas.
years pass, and choppy letters
between strained love
still avoid those phantom conversations;
skirt around the stains like the
plague.
perhaps, if you refuse to
acknoweldge its existence
it never happened.
[but it did.]

Another very nice piece. My only problem with it is the repetition of "condensation".

I typed it up wrong. The second 'condensation' is supposed to be '

Ah, I see. Well, to me, the last couple of verses sound a little clichΓ©. Other than that, you continue to impress me.

Oh, I know >< Trying to figure out a way to ditch em, but they keep running up and tacking themselves on. I can't shake em. Haha, I'll think of something eventually.
But thank you, very much. You don't know how much that means to me. : )

I like it mostly, I was just wondering if you ment to say condensation twice close together... since you don't usually do that. Iunno, it sounded a little awkard. But I liked it.
