She collects his words
In a cup of mumbled sound
Like watered down wine

When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

You're welcome Star! And it always makes me smile to read something of yours and then when you reply I can't but wait for the page to open and swallow your words :D Or in this case wouldn't "collect" be better? You be awesome.

I am so glad you like it. :) Truth be told, this is one I was a little worried about, so it is honestly a relief to have some positive feedback.

All I can think of is: deep. "She collects his words/In a cup of mumbled sound/Like watered down wine" <- I love those lines(: It's a piece that takes a couple reads, for your mind to soak it up and process. I love how few words you used, and the huge picture they hide.
