Apostrophe rhetoric

That sudden
Inexplicable
Rush of adrenaline,
Blush of cheeks,
Heart, ready to burst,
Thumping, literally pounding
Against the
Containing walls,
Blood
Gushing through
The mesh of
Arteries,
Ache, dull yet dense,
In the triceps and tendons,
With the urge
To hold,
With the impulse to
Embrace,
Adopt,
Acknowledge,
Appreciate, and
Admire;
Tongue tied
With verbosity,
Skin twitching
With
Palpitations of possibilities,
Face, a radiant sun
With
Aspirations to
Amass,
Hoard
The lifetimes together
In that fleeting rush,
When you just flitted
Through the thoughts,
At random,
And all this while
All I get to do
Is
Talk to the apostrophes.

Showstopper's Yesterday

The 12 inch heel, the confident gait, The measured steps, the sudden halt, The blush on cheeks, the smoldering eyes, The hands on hips, head held high, The silken gown, barely there, A tilt of neck, balanced well, The sultry glance, timed right, Perfect half twirl, played twice, With a graceful swirl, she turns back. The world looks on with stolen breath, Oohs, aahs, applauds, encores. The showstopper’s yesterday, Now hangs in a gallery, Fading parchment, guarded unnecessarily. No shadows of glamour come a-chasing, For vacant eyes and sagging skin, For shattering illusions, hanging questions, Am I never going back?

Faint glimmer in heart

Ripe autumn air’s come to bless. Showering sweet November caress. We could be holding hands and walking, Silent but still talking. Faint glimmer in heart. White winters, no flowers in sight. Frosty December moonless night. And here I am hoping for your arm, To keep me safe, to keep me warm. Faint glimmer in heart. The year twenty twelve is leap they say. Oh! I can hope some more, there’s one more day. Hope for smiling summers with you, Hope for blessings to rain through. Faint glimmer in heart. Dying, not yet vanished, There’s a faint glimmer in this heart. Linking with Trifecta : Week Fifty Linking with Velvet Verbosity : 100 Words

The pain is all gone

It wasn't the first time. And it would not be the last. She could not stand them suffering like that. She asked for his consent. He expressed his willingness in whimpering sounds. And the pain was gone – forever. Linking up with Trifecta : Trifextra - Week Nineteen
