If
by poetry
I can make her
flesh and blood
my body on which to press
I will forge
such compelling words
her hungry soul
to steal

I originally tweeted these words over six years ago but liked them so much I elevated them to a blog post five years ago. If elevate is the right word. I hope you don’t mind them again. It is one of my favourite short poems.

I do think *elevate* is the right word. (And let’s not forget our choosiness.. smiles.) There is a hierarchy of sorts by platform. A truly beautiful short piece.🌹

I certainly think of here as a much more serious place for writing. Though every post I make here has an automatical link to it created in my Twitter account (@romdominant) so the audience to an extent overlaps. And thank you. It is just a few words thrown together, but I like them.
