Metaphoric Tissue Paper Cuts

Obscurity's trenchant sorrows blotting tissue paper cuts, tears aptly smeared in hidden fears of first dashed allusions, darkly flippant metaphors sans passionate accolades left to gingerly decay, grandiloquently speaking, 'Happily Ever After' is hardly a verbose nuance throughout a quinine poet's collection

Ha ha, "gobsmacked" there's a word you don't hear every day.

Maybe you haven't been utterly astounded in a while, what can I tell you, I'm strange and I love weird words or vice versa. :)

Take everything good i could say and multiply it by two and insert here. Were i not afraid of offending the poet's ears I'd drop a Holy F in there - but since it's the Sabbath somewhere in the world I'll simply say "This is very nice" :)

This made me laugh, I'll take a Holy F any day! :) I also have a piece that someone sent me about 'that's nice' really means I don't give shyte, so that made me snicker too! Thanks for the giggle. :)

That's like saying "it's only music" do not underestimate your words. You have lightning bolts in your hands!

Yes even tissue can be painful to sad eyes. I do believe in happily ever afters, may yours be around the next bend.
