Rest assured i cannot think
Close your eyes begin to sink
kiss the hand of fear so sweet
let this silence be my treat
hear the voices in your head
let them fill you up with dread
they can get inside your mind
tell me now what they would find
would there be a shining sea
would it turn black from all the grief
where does this train of thought lead
are you ashamed for me to see
let this silence be my treat
kiss the hand of fear so sweet
close your eyes begin to sink
rest assured i cannot think

Marry me sammi, lol .
Sammi is taken already…silence is partner.
Guys. Guys. There is a civil way to solve this. Fight to the death. ._.
^^
But… Wouldn’t that be giving them just what the other person wanted?
I am too unmarried. It seems like you needs a girlfriend or wife. I hope that you gets one in the near time.
Sammi,
Your picture reminds me that I have yet to plant peppers this year. The way the petals droop remind me of my good old habanero plants cowering in the heat of the July sun. For such plants, a positive sign, they look a bit sad when the sun is shining bright, and perk up in the dark, cool isolation of night. A sure sign that they will be spicy peppers with a bit of depth and character.
I hope this made some semblance of sense.
Your friend,

Ceph, you intelligent little shit. I was wondering where that was going when I first started reading it. You gave me an idea. BUT. it will remain a secret for the time being.
That’s no fun! Tell meee! Tell meee!!!!!
How did I miss this?? Sams this is beautifully tragic. Like ceph pointed out, the recurring theme of petals you use is very powerful. And now let’s talk symmetry… the symmetry in the photo as well as the symmetry in your word structure (didn’t think anyone would catch that did you, sneaky monkey), the way the last stanza is a mirror reflection of the first. You’re such a visual writer. And your poems & images are like encoded secret messages… I sent away for my sammi decoder ring but I think the mailman stole it. Send another??
Lol Did you just call me a monkey? We may have to fight over that one.
Another one is on its way. Comes with a complimentary t shirt and a cheaply made shot glass (there’s a hole in the bottom). Thank you, though. I needed a fan.
Haha that was me doing my Mike Myers (Simon) impersonation “chicky monkey!” Ooh a hole in the bottom of my shot glass… well I never could hold my liquor. That works :p
