acrumblingprecipice asked: Is there any possibility that you could make a separate Tumblr for your personal stuff? I love reading your poetry and stuff you post from other artists, but it does sometimes detract from the impact of your blog when i have to scroll through a page or so of personal asks. I think also, as you are an editor for the poetry section, that making Gracious Words more of a poetry-focused blog would be a...

foreverimperfectme asked: I've spent at least an hour now reading through your archives. I love your use of words, and how tight your meter is. It's...well, it's melodious to the ear. I stopped reading, only so that I could have something to look forward to tomorrow! You're definitely gifted, my friend.

Anonymous asked: "storage space for secret whispers" is very misleading. nothing is secret, is it.

My attempts at free verse are sitting heavier than a 5 course meal and three bottles of wine.
I think I’ll stick with the delicacies of rhythm and rhyme and perfect timing.
Anonymous asked: To help with your poetry competition entries..your poem that starts with "Converse in silence, heavy breath as loves lip service does the rest" has always been a favourite. It reveals the absolute beauty you are capable of creating..was one of the first poems of yours I read! Definitely got me hooked..

It would appear, I am in the process of writing a little free verse.
Yes, yes I am. I can confirm that I am actually writing some free verse. Well, I was until I stopped to write this. So technically I am not writing free verse.
Sorry, I never meant to lie.

So, I’ve decided that I am going to enter some of my work into a few poetry competitions. Both competitions require no more than three poems, with certain other constraints relating to number of words and lines.
To be honest, I will probably just re-work some of my older stuff but I’m having trouble deciding which poems to use.
I rarely see the beauty in anything I write yet when...

graciouswords:
Tears of sadness resonate through the emptiness of heartbreak hell. Rigour ridden roses, fractured, carpet underfoot in shards of crisp, sharpened splinters, permeating soles of feet, to travel the vast vascular highway; to attach, to attack, to slice and scar an already war torn heart. Silent shadows shape shift in dank, darkened corners, taunting, teasing and testing resolve,...

when the sky shows naught of light let the waves of my lips bestow a soft caress on your tearful face when the yawning dawn drops its dew on the sobbing roses, know that my hand is yours to hold and when my tongue fails me look into my eyes and you’ll see my heart belongs to thee.

You and I
graciouswords:
You will be the fire, burning bright and strong. I will be the smoke, always tracing back to you. We can be inseperable. Our own sun and wind, A beautiful disaster.
I want to tie my head to your chest. I want to be an extension of you. I will listen to the rhythm of your heart, tangled in the music of mine. This will be our song. The soundtrack of our story.
I will paint wings...
