tonic-clonic love spell

[silver]

this onerous and absolute obsession
has taken complete possession of me
your proximity is a dangerous event 
it sends me straight into a grand mal seizure 

an electrical storm starts bouncing around
in my head lightning is liable to flash from my eyes
I can't look at you for fear I will burn you to a crisp
I can't look away certain it will be the last time I see you

an earthquake trembles to the very edges of my soul
my teeth chatter behind closed lips my fingers shake
certain you will notice and ascertain my discomfiture
I am equal parts brusque and outlandish in your presence 

fighting to maintain consciousness I avoid your touch
sure if you brush me I am going to pass clean out
I can't look at you for fear I will burn you to a crisp
I can't look away certain it will be the last time I see you

an electrical storm starts bouncing around
in my head lightning is liable to flash from my eyes
your proximity is a dangerous event
it sends me straight into a grand mal seizure

this onerous and absolute obsession
that has taken complete possession of me
enslaved by my desire to touch and be touched 
and this tonic-clonic love spell you've cast

A very descriptive write Silver. You sum up those feelings to a tee. 

Very nicely done!

[silver]

Thank you, Darkness. I am still toying with it. I think.


I hate I can't figure out how to make the image I chose
to accompany the piece larger. Mmm. First world issues.

Looking at the code... there is no picture.

You added it as an attachment, didn't you?

[Deleted]

Attachments automatically size down to a thumbnail picture when you post them. To see the full image, you have to click on it and it opens a new tab.

If you want to have it be full size on the thread itself, you need to post it elsewhere (My personal choice is imgur, but as long as it works it doesn't matter what site you use), then get the image URL (NOTE: Not the same as the URL of the site the image is on. Right-click on the image for it.) 

THEN go to the post to edit, delete/remove the existing attachment, and insert picture. [img src="http://example.com/image" style="max-width:100%;"]
(You don't have to copy and paste this code; there's an icon on the post tool bar that you can press to add it as well; this is just an example.)

Go switch to BBCode (instead of Preview) to adjust how much space you want the picture to take up.
style="max-width:100%;" -- Change the percentage.

Another option that I think would look cooler would be to put the text over the picture and then post it as a single image, but that takes some editing skills and extra effort, haha.

Nice poem though.

sorta like this

SPOILER: Click to show

I actually rotated and cropped the image because I thought it'd be easier to deal with without the city or that awkwardly placed waterline, but it also produced a really nice effect where, as you read the poem, it starts out big bright and lightningey and then eventually grows dark and symbolic, which I think really fits the mood of this poem, haha

anyway

yeah I have nothing better to do lol

(In a spoiler since it's a large image)

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!

Thank you for taking the time to do a spoiler for moi, meowpurrrrrrrsweet Kitten!!!

I used to use photo-bucket, come to think of it, to bring images to the site.
But, I've never been able to do what you did with this piece so perfectly.
I must become your rapt pupil, Madam Kitten.

I absolutely agree with your visual choice and inspiration behind it.

I can't thank you enough for this, sweets. It makes one see their poetry
from an entirely different perspective. Sweeeeeeet! Thank you.

Good to hear

Missing our invisible
missing in action Kitten

Is she busying ass kicking
the boyz at video gaming?

Or preparing for colleging?
Did she get the obstinate

post it note off of the locker?
I miss her vim and vigor

Her voice, her style her intelligence
Perhaps, to post a Missing Kitten poster...

Will help us find our MIA comadre
This is our Kitten. Have you seen her?

[Deleted]

Life has been busy.

[silver]

Good to know!!!

Busy is always good.

I see while you were away you morphed! <3 it!
You got me. Really. Earlier this evening I slipped by
before I went and wasted two hours shopping online.
I hate shopping. Even online. LoL But, I digress.

When I slipped by, I saw kitten had dropped in.

Two hours later, when I return from the arduous task
of picking and carting four items, sigh, I noticed a cat plant
had popped up in the house of poetry.

I rushed to this thread to tell you there was another cat
in the house...And imagine my surprise...

For a second, I think you caused me to have brain freeze
without the Slushie!

What great fun you are!!!

Heh, I just wanted to change my profile pic and realized I should change the name to make it more accurate. Sorry for the confusion ^.^
