Inescapable (GBE2 #117 Topic: Power)

This week, I'm pretending to be a poet.  Enjoy!

 Fingertips...
    grazing my collarbone
gently sweeping
    secrets keeping
    softly whisper
press into me
        ...deeply

Fingertips...
    delicate squeezing
exquisite pleading
    voltaic frenzy
    the silent demand
be my
        ...authority

impetuously
  
      breathless.

electricity.....

sealed our fate

Bedtime (GBE2 #9: Midnight)

Years ago, I wrote four poems.  I loved these poems so much....and no matter how hard I try, no poem written since is ever good enough to me.  But, I was inspired to write a poem for this topic....so here it is.  Hopefully, it doesn't suck too much :)

BEDTIME

I wish that I could run and hide

I wish that I could sleep

I wish you understood me

--that I wasn’t sinking deep

I want to laugh with you the first time

I want to be more than an afterthought

I want to be noticed and appreciated

--rather than forgotten about

I wish I could show you my worth

I wish I didn’t have to

I wish that I just clique-d

--rather than trying to cling to

I want jealousy to fade away

I want to not care

I want to feel normal again

--rather than just disappear

I wish my thoughts would quiet

I wish for calm and peace

--It’s hours after Midnight

I wish that I could sleep
