Say it with song,
in melodious,
lilting aphrodisiac construction
of ear edifices
erected in the heart.
Say it with oil,
as a flaring prism of hued diamonds
bulging the eyes with the timbers of sight,
building indelible crowns of recall
inside the mind.
Say it with succulent morsels,
bursting
the sensory reservoirs
until the body
stings with a sated ecstasy.
Say it with ink,
sculpturing the incarnation of intuitiveness
festering as heaven’s portal
and serving an eternal resplendent banquet
unto the soul.

i really like the idea. how do we say things, and why? i think it trys to answer some of those fundamental questions. i also like the way your verbage slides through. you speak of song, oil, and ink. these are all very slippery things, kind of like communication itself. my main problem with the poem was the over-use of adjectives: "melodius, lilting aphrodisiac construction of ear edifices erected in the heart"? i can't see that, it's too much. in my opinion, too many adjectives clutter the noun. be more selective. kill your darlings! it's important to paint a clear picture, but the reader gets to the point where they're like, "ok, i get it, let's move on".
No matter how one must say it.....to not say it at all....well it will continue to fester...creativity must find a way out! Another excellent write! Beautifully done!
