Not amused

hello tec
seems like a commentary on writing, one which I've been too familiar with (as I'm sure is true for most..)
what I thought as I read
Quote:Not amused (v2)

Beg as you sleep, she has no heart; yet deafness feigned
is so profound, that you may better pen your plea...personally, I wanted a stronger word than "may". not sure if the comma is entirely needed
You start with one small word and wait; but you are dry
and void whilst she, the liquid lexicon, walks by....I thought "dry" from the last line was accurate enough and "void" could be a little extra for what you're going for; again, a personal preference. at times, I debated if too much is given away already with "lexicon"

Where has she gone? The buffered pen holds still, restrained ...really like the "buffered". I felt as though I was watching a hunt for a moment, as though something just flashed by your eye and you want to see what it was
by disconnected thoughts. How long you wait 'till she ...not sure how I feel about "disconnected thoughts;" again, personal preference
decides to grant a sip. The wine of words will slake ...great flow with "wine of words"
the thirst which comes in restless nights, 'til each day break. ...like the line, think it could be enhanced with a stronger word than "comes"

A drop will fall; the paper virgin, white but stained,
lies temptingly beside you and you turn to see
what offering she makes; a dream! You drift awake, ...so used to drifting asleep that "drift awake" was refreshing
cursing what slipped away, and what was yours to take. ...certainly can relate; makes for a solid close


just some suggestions; maybe one or two will strike your fancy!
Written only for you to consider.
