White Hollow

your poetry echoes through my head
like a heat storm with no rain
thundering at the edge to breathe
in stirring air from touchless kisses
electricity licks the top of my neck
ache is upon the winded whispers
causing shivers to invade my skin
I fly from this ground flat footed
arms open and raised in wanting
and this embrace meets no comfort
white empty from a hungry hollow

"no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love"  Anne Rice

You make my heart soar

You two could inspire a rock! ((^*)) Both poems were absolutely moving and beautifully done.  However, having felt the ache within, I shall spend the day remembering I suppose.

"I fly from this ground flat footed
arms open and raised in wanting"

I am rooted to the spot
such beauty in both poems
such emotion

thank you both

How poignant is that!!!!  The emotions you convey are so very sensitive and delicate.  

You are inspired beautifully, Helen~

1slick_lady - You don't write just because, you write words from the heart. Your writings are touching...
