Send the Girl Tip-Toes

By Maladroit

Send the girl Tip-toes,
the non-verbal boy
with a voice only audible to her heart
she will read between quiet lines,
blistering her fingers
to adequately express his life.

Make her insight match her garrulity,
heed not the blueprint of her plans
instead-
let's show her celestial blue
from the painter's point of view
because she only knows the color as an adjective

Send the girl Tip-toes,
that fish-bowl eyed boy-
the one that can make her world sway,
blow her completely away
and root her down all at once.

To the pedantic girl on edge,
for her thesauruses tells her nothing
and that expanding collection
does not expand her capacity
to consume more than vanity
and that girl needs to learn the accent of a heart.

    Beautiful! People can become narrow minded because of their narcissism. I liked this.

    I hope my only grandson can find that girl, somewhere, as he comes of age - they are special people. Heartfelt piece and I got a vibe from Corinthian when you mentioned the color blue, thank you.

I've read many of your poems but they seem to hit contradictions, perhaps it is my understanding of it that's contradictory. For the things I did understand sounded just as gloomy as can get for a poet, much enjoyed your poems for what I did comprehend.

    This is about a child. This is one of two things expressed about a child. Of course my feelings for my son contradict the feelings for the majority of the world. Or maybe you mean the undertone of god? Did you see the note? Do you have a child? If you have a child, you will find yourself questioning higher powers and such, or at least I do.. Because he is that kind of beautiful- the kind so life altering that you look for a definition to source it. This is mostly just about an asshole question though- but thanks for reading

  • A former member wrote: i read a book once that was written from a non verbal autistic son's point of view. i can't remember the name for the life of me, but it was so touching, the author giving his son a voice. this is barren and beautiful. i can only imagine your frustration, but i think our hearts are like radios. the thought brings me comfort, tuning in to lonely strangers and learning the frequency of those dear to us through love and error. maybe (i hope) it will to you, too. empathy is a powerful magic.

  • A former member wrote: oh also. i kind of want to curbstomp that "pedantic girl".
