i might destroy him with soft lips and light fingers share sweet pieces of where jaw meets neck and neck meets shoulder i would draw him a map with long legs and silken arms only to leave him lost among the curves press against him until i can feel how parched his insides are i could be like a new thing to a young boy fascinating like a shadow creeping across bare skin when the day surrenders to the night so wide eyed and wondered i want him at his coldest and devoid of reason if a flame had pity for the moth it would be me for consuming him blinded by this flame
....I honestly think there should be no rules. I never write with form, usually either void of punctuation, or littered. If there is form in something I write its usually for a reason. Either with or without punctuation, proper grammer, capitals, what ever is there or isnt is a secret little code. Its certainly not the way to be published or noticed, but for the things that spill from my mind it makes sense to me. brain pellets. heehee.
music to my eyes
i enjoyed this very much thought to myself is this how i think punctuationless thoughts plague my mind but this is how it is isnt it kept me very warm throughtout mind giving me another

You can affect stream of consciousness and simulate your thoughts in a poem using punctuation. Avoiding punctuation completely isn't the only way to do it.
It's critical to take line breaks into account. Whether you like it or not, at the end of each line above, there is a pause.
Yeah i get what youre saying gargamel... i guess it was like talking to myself in an empty room, just pointing out that i enjoy people breaking away from the usual use of punctuation and what not. i like to use punctuation and capitals to make exagerated points, not just where grammar says they should be. it makes it feels different sometimes crazy like the words come out like vomit, and other times like theyre so forced... i dunno *shrug* lets all make out own rules... lol literary chaos, grammatical anarchy!
yeah when it comes to the process of writing, as opposed to the product, there are no rules, that's why I love it!
I agree totally. If good writing, meaningful, strong, revealing writing were a matter of spelling, punctuation and grammar... well... frankly I just wouldn't read anything "good." I really like the strength and the direct to the psyche, no holds barred thing here. Keep going. I seems to me all the great writers broke the rules, plowed up new ground. You go "brain pellets."
