Even the Sky

Even the sky blushes when it thinks of the night to come. Anticipating the taste of you, the day passed so slowly. But your touch can stop time, making star lit night grow longer and punishing day for taking so long to yield.


Waiting for your skin
to alight upon my body
is sweet agony.



This poem was inspired by a prompt given over at Imaginary Gardens with Real Toads: Fashion Me Your Words, Slowly. It is also linked to the Friday 55 at Verse Escape and Poetry Pantry 385 at Poets United.

 I seriously love the song behind the prompt, especially because as a Spanish speaker, I know how unsubtle that song is. This was crazy fun to write.

  2. This is gorgeous, Rommy--I especially heaved a languorous sigh over "... punishing day for taking so long to yield..." Pure natural love is always hot and sweet like this. (And speaking of hot and sweet, I also enjoyed the musical accompaniment.) Thanks for adding your 55 words of kindling warmth to the chilly winds of the season, and have a kickass holiday.

    1. This was just so much fun to write. Every time I hear that song I wondered if people knew how dirty it really was. So I guess I felt called to make it really damn clear. :D
