Ergo, the Ogre

Hunger

It’s Open Link Night at the dVerse Poets Pub!

Look at me and smile

that smile; make my heart beat like

velvet jackhammers

again and whisper

my name like it is holy.

 

Feed the obsession.

    The line breaks in are spot on. They add so much to the words.

    Oh my, I like the contrast of velvet with the strength of jackhammers… softening each beat.

    What can I say, not much when left a tad breathless, 💜 this. My sweetie has asked what I want for Christmas, I think I will use this poem as my wish list, sadly though, she says Santa has me on the mostly naughty list. Wonderful writing Susan!
