  1. To Embellish
    Embellishment
    Is this something that is right or wrong
    for the good of the story?
    – for the good of yourself?
    At some point you know
    you see
    and suddenly you see who you are
    How you are
    if you know
    if you see

  2. embelish
    embelishment
    is this something right or wrong
    for the good of the story – for the good of yourself?
    Who really knows
    But at some point you do – you know
    you see
    and suddenly you see who you are
    if you know
    if you see

  3. to give you everything of myself without the silly glitter. How I wish you wouldn’t drown me with your shit, the sticky mold that you think will help it all come together… to really make it come to life. I don’t wish to exaggerate anymore

  4. To embellish is to capture attention. You can embellish a story verbally, you can embellish an item visually. Embellishment is not necessarily an exaggeration, but rather a way to enhance or change the way others perceive something.

  7. She put sequins on everything, her purse, her shoes, coat and curtains. She covered her lightbulb in them so her room was full of sparkles. She covered the walls, painted patterns and rainbows with the plastic jewels. She braided her hair, and filled in her skin.

  8. your splotchy blushing
    and frequent blinking

    makes a better sight

    than honest eyes
    and a sad mouth

    that comes with
    telling the truth.

    (lie more often,
    darling.)

  9. The shell lay delicately on the sand. It was a piece of art unto itself, having undergone the weathering of the ocean, and the tread of small children. It was covered in mathematical patterns and pastel colors, enough to remind it’s possesor of childhood memories of teh beach.

  13. Is this really necessary, when life already carries intractable complexity, beauty and horror all in one, excess and paucity, why embellish reality? Temperature, days, expressions, acts and facts. All enough, I promise.

  14. I neither have to diminish nor embellish His love for me. I often drift from the understanding that he promised me life, not death. He gave His Son for me that I would not be condemned, but saved. So that rock I tend to hide UNDER? Well, I’m going to start my climb to the top so that I can stretch out my arms, open my hands and allow God’s grace to shower upon my life. After all, that’s why I was created: to be unconditionally loved.

  17. I like to think that I don’t embellish when it comes to stories, but the truth of the matter is that just isn’t true. Embellishing is not really lying so much as adding “icing on the cake” to a story which otherwise would have been pretty boring.

  18. God I am never enough and I just want to draw stars and metaphors across my face and tie pretty things around my neck and embellish the lights in my eyes that oh so many claim to see. God I am never enough and I want to sparkle like a Christmas tree on a Monday night in January in the home of a woman who just really loves Christmas and I want to shine that brightly until I am enough for someone. Myself. I just want to be at home in this body and this place and God, is that too much to ask?

  19. homo homini lupus

    I stood in a burning building
    you walked in
    and held me

    is it because you don’t see
    the havoc I wreak?
    or that you do?

    I’m here
    or I’m gone
    I’m off
    or I’m on

    you beckon beautiful and alien —
    diviner of
    my whitest, my blackest

    yet we cleave
    as if love
    is petite-mort
    and hunger
    pre-empts comfort

  20. I almost can’t remember what this word means. I never use it.
    Funny how that works.
    Especially since I actually embellish a lot of things when I talk.
    I just never say that I “embellish”
    I say I blew it out of proportion, or exaggerated. But it’s all the same thing. It’s just embellishing. The definition is the same.

  21. There was a plain lady who was lonely and sad. She decided to change and that made her glad. She stopped at a store and bought items galore. No longer plain the lady got her wish. Her new favorite word is now embellish.
