Challenge
What do feelings sound like?
Write a poem about an emotion. Use words that will make the reader hear what you feel. Make it fun, make it dark, make it sexy, make it sweet, make it sad, make it angry, make it anyway you want.
Joy
The thump of my heart flies against my chest,
I shiver at your voice's soft murmur.
Each shallow breath I take leaves me suppressed.
Each unconscious sigh excites me further.
Intent, passion, tumbles through my body,
You pull me tight, and my mind is dizzy.
Whenever we're this close, it gets foggy,
My world becomes you, and no longer busy.
I am a bird, soaring among the clouds
and you are the air, whispering past me.
And in our connection, the worries, crowds
of people vanish, leaving us carefree.
Energy thrums between shared touches, kisses.
Nose-to-nose, our souls collide. Content, I listen.
