Replying to a comment on:

The tender side. (Free verse) by darby pyn

When I channel you deliver me possession and let me be flattery for my plagiarism. I steal the sides to give texture to an empty well. your arms give a beautiful aesthetic to hollow spaces. in between the shadows of my thoughts where too many questions are gray without recollection you stay firm. my ornament of desire. you could never be a ghost in my home.

The line “ let me be flattery for my plagiarism” comes from the
phrase “ Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”.
what I mean is I take all the beauty the person I admire has
and when I feel bad I think of her and I feel better.
thank you for your suggestions.
darby.
