Prompt #2: List of ten things that will make you blush. The most innocent form
stems from his initial glance
Eyes contacting; forever locking
Lust with the frolicking hint of something more
Perhaps the most piercing
is the one of least resistance
A kind of indifference
from a treasured heart I love
The embarrassing rings me to laughter
A missed step; a joke mistold
Fleeting out of body visions
of past missed episodes
I redden with the sweaty defeat
of lost dreams
Continuously grasping for higher ground
while sinking six feet underneath
Yet – Grateful life
make me a wife
and happiness my groom!
Twist my lips upwards with joy
for rose glistens my cheeks
Give me wind in my face
Laces tightly bound
The thrill of the run
pounding soft pavement sounds
Light me on fire
with his brush
Catch my breath
within suffocating love
Harbor loud aches for the silent
Palms ready for coin
Secret stories buried
within worthy souls
Cringe with my shame
Leave me
with only me
the only one to blame
Touch my heart
ask it to open not shut
For millions; any day
but for the closest ones
I close up
