The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Teachers and students might no longer apply
when you hold the mirror allow me to scry
blurring the lines that faintly divide
the ever-present bound'ry 'tween you and I
and our other sides

-

While I'd pledge this smile to wake you up every time
the sun's fuzzy rays light up the sky
While I'd hold you nigh every time you would cry
gently caress the last tear from your eye

-

That would all go awry
so I will just lie
just let your thigh
for now support mine

until we will awaken
let this never die

That's the second unusual (to the point of incomprehensible) use of "fuzzy" in the past few poems. . .does someone have any insight to offer on when it became a synonym for "good" when applied to non-fuzzy objects?

Posted

warm/warming

shimmering (okay that's a hung stretch)

drowsy/dosey

reassuring

charming

fawning

roosing

soothing

dreamlike

 

or you go the other way:

 

alarming

arresting

 

or just be different:

 

hazy

Non-fuzzy? From where I stand, sunlight can very well be fuzzy.

Think that "heavily clouded sunday morning sun shining through light curtains" feeling. You may find different words to describe that, I will use this one.

 

That said, my use and interpretation of the word here differs a whole lot from the way Appy used it in Fuzzy. I'm just painting a bit of environment with it, she's describing an entire situation, the entire memory of a considerable timespan, with that one word. I quite agree with that descriptor as well ^_^ Never did it become a synonym for good though, as far as I know.

 

That bit of explanation aside, I do apologise for delving into subjects which are a tad difficult, if not impossible to understand for "outsiders" with both our works. Then again, I do still think poetry in essence is meant for the reader to think about his own interpretation of what's written, not wonder about what the writer meant. As long as something makes sense to me, it's all valid as far as I'm concerned.

I'm deeply sorry if, through writing things both she and I understand, I (or we) make anyone else feel alienated, but I see no reason to treat these works as any different than any other poetry.

 

Let it mean to you what you feel it means ^_^

I would add my words to this, but.. well, he said it as it is and what I would like to say as well. Just adding my voice to the explanation of Fuzzy and each poem linked. ^_^
