one bloom fills the lens
the garden falls out of view
#eloquence of red

A photograph can speak to us
in wordless #eloquence.

Tongue-Dust

​Behind the library’s frosted glass,
dust has its own eloquence.
Settling on the spine of forgotten Latin,
coating verbs in velvet silt
until the past is translated
into a single,
drift-grey grammar
that says everything
by staying completely still.

Adjectives and #eloquence
may be sweet.

But often they’re just
a sugar high.

Make it short, resonate
and last.

Make it ring like a bell.

"How goes the courtship?"
"Fine."
"I can see how your #eloquence cannot help but charm the ladies."
"Huh??"
"You compete with the morning birds in singing her praise every day."
"What's that?? Who else is trying to get her?!"
"Me, dear boy. I am. Your days with her are numbered."

Dylan had no inclination to give the brass a face-to-face report in a flurry of #eloquence & fact-filled words, he told them what he thought. Which was The Enemy had a type of ship that was bigger than anything they had ever seen.

And, worse, it couldn‘t have come through the System Gates.

Rory was forced to listen to the #eloquence of the man’s, frankly insane, rant because, for some unknown reason, there was no option to skip the dialogue.

The developers, or scriptwriter, must have been extremely proud of the words. Rory just thought it was a flowery bit of utter nonsense.

#eloquence passes
through openings in the soul
letting thoughts glide
& meaning swerve
it rises to the throat
with the grace of a caress
leaving the taste
of wit on the tongue
the present presses
against the prison of words
until the moment
changes faces
enemy now
friend in the next breath

Every electrifying elocution
Every entrancing edification
Every endearing enunciation

Comes down to words
Don't it
Simple bouquets of the alphabets

Letters arranged like flowers
Behind the bright lights of the florist

Clipped
Expertly wrapped up in paper
Enveloped in eloquence

I’m done. I’m gone.

In hindsight, I can see that his
#eloquence covered half-truths
and lies.

"I Thought The Only Lonely Place Was On The Moon"

Little moments
Came together in the game of life
The town at night has such eloquence
I lose my time
Everything slows just for me
I am everything I want to be
Holding the world in my hands
Then I awake
And realise I am here alone

Son,

If you have feelings for her,
tell her.

Don’t worry about #eloquence.
Just tell her - simple, straight
and true.

Mom

Dancing on my skin,
coaxing diff'rent emotions,
#eloquence of her
fingertips—and i'm undone,
soft scratches to growling groans.

There's a longing or a concept inside my head. It forms but vanishes, before it is said. #Eloquence is nice on a printed page. But sometimes emptiness is the state I gotta stage. Some people walk around with all the right words. How do they not burst?

His words are positively charming
bound to bring a smile
When I hear him talking
with his eloquence and wit
it's positively divine
If I'm not mistaken
he's a modern day Oscar Wilde

The ancient lady
told her tale with eloquence.
Everyone listened.
