Your Space

It’s Quadrille Monday at the dVerse Poets Pub! The writing prompt is “Kiss.”


What would it be like

I wonder,

to count the gold

flecks in your

hazel eyes and smell

the fabric

softener of your shirt,

to be in your space.

Utter perfection!

And if we

(just for a moment)

were close enough

to kiss

one kiss.

  2. Apart from the fabric softener, which would start off an asthma event, I loved it. Especially the gold flecks in the hazel eyes. :)

  3. A poignant quadrille, Susan, especially the smell of fabric softener on a shirt, which makes me wonder why there is too much space between them for a kiss.
