Haha.. Thank you!!!
This was so sweet of you.
I like the incorporation of some of the words of my poems in your poem and supposedly, I'm the thief of words haha XD

She sat beneath
her rose ice-cream tree
quietly,
patiently
drowning her sadness in
his brown or blue paradise;
just as my
Everlasting words sat
at the tip of my tongue
quietly,
patiently
waiting to be spoken.

--- and there you go, as I sat quietly within my ice cream tree of roses while contemplating his brown or blue paradise, Xanthe's words were lingering at the tip of her tongue but she couldn't say them and I wanted to hear them so bad,

I love what you did in this stanza.

Alas!
The caramel
burnt her own tongue
for lingering
there too long.
I gave her my spare cup
but no water
ran through
to wash away the soreness.
Instead,
all she found was a
cockroach.

--- oh god, see.
I got my tongue burnt, I wonder why? did I ate too much ice cream of roses? and so sweet of you to share your spare cup with me but no water in it? huh, just a cockroach... ahh, that is a nightmare. is the cockroach at least of candy?

And now,
she paints the breeze
with words stolen
from my own mouth
because she has finally
confessed
to be the
Thief of Words.

-- haha, and I am the thief of words, lol.

I so like what you did with the poem, I was not expecting to be burnt with the caramel but I guess for every bad action there is a bad action coming your way, haha.
Karma. The message its really clear. Thank you!

EDIT: Creative !!

Ehahahahahahahaha!

Edited: So I popped up here between the two of you hahaha. I was just wanting to say:

AND ME!? :(

^hahahaha
So turns out we're both thieves :D
i'm glad you like it

Uhmm.. Noura,

do you want to be a thief of words, too?
in a playful way not like plagiarizing way..

If so, then you are so part of this poem XD

Lol... funny to see fellow poets on the site engaged like this.

How clever! I liked how you structured this piece with the line breaks and punctuation. This was a personal dedication to someone that everybody can enjoy because it was crafted so beautifully.

"The caramel
burnt her own tongue
for lingering
there too long."

This was a lovely piece, nicely done!

Four years later, and I can still see Luce in this poem. :)
