Plagiarizing

"Mine all Mine!"

A thief I long to be
Your eyes original like the moon and sea

A lover in the world............
An Anthology, you walk and talk like the word "AMOR."

The words you send, I nicely tuck under my pillow
Every note every line you left behind 
I memorized till they became all mine
Word-for-word, 
Unauthorized I scrape the concrete calluses off the tongue
Pirating the perfect dramatic monolog look,
Basking through the passage around your Bio, 
Lost in the musky scent -around the sonnet of your aura light 
Epic enough, I reach inside to feel every idyllic rhyme
A strong iambic meter curse, conjuring up the perfect verse
In you I lift a copy paste from your lips, 
No need to credit the sources in your bliss
The sweetest undamaged sensual memorandum book
A moment I stole and sealed without copyright proof

My dearest Poet, 
When you move across the room
I see a thousand arrows that follow from behind, 
Indulged when you speak and point out a verse per verse
I am a victim pampered by your words,
Sponging every line, adding them to my crib notes 
Improved wordplay that infringed my everyday diary
A haiku so tangible, it sets the perfect images in my dream,
Hypnotize after I read your first love poem
A printed feeling--
Borrowed from the sun

Playfully romantic PD. "Sponging every line, adding them to my crib notes," a wonderful line.

part douche'-:) a few ppl commented on it and I KNOW they didn't read the damn thing. I would rather someone rip me to shreds and say I suck than to play me like they read the thing, when they didn't. I get it that Interpretations vary, but come on! Your feedback was Legit, I never reread or edit any of my stuff. That one, I did reread and it got me! This one here, on plagiarism, lemme say it Thrice, I$H was NICE:)

This Joint is mega off the HOOK! super Cala-Complex. First time I read it, It hurt my simple mind. Head spun for a minute no lie! I read it again after a puff and a give and damn if it wasn't clear as day. You tore through many a form with this. Several forms, I have yet to explore. I wish I knew how to plan and write some of these forms. I am ALL free flow. This was tight!~ Hey, Your feedback is Really appreciated on that one I wrote recently about the POET who wrote too much all the time!
