hello?

Where did you go?

Fading now, soft & slow

Were you a fuse destined to blow?

Hello?

[angie-words]

Another @aug-kissed inspired cinquain, this time using the prompt Frantic Kisses

Savour

When I

return to you,

starving, seeking your taste,

let me savour your fierce blessings

this time

Cinquain Poetry, Prompt: Kiss

LMK which was your favourite in the poll! (Be nice, it's my first time using this structure). I.

Whether

Upon chalice

Or thine own lips sacred

How I long to kiss and worship

Your sins

II,

Your lips

Pink blush, open

Your tongue calls, a siren

I crash into her seas, willing

Taste me

III.

That kiss

Claiming, desperate

Words swallowed, a goodbye hint

I forgive you my conscience and

I leave

IV.

Your form

My church tiles scorched

A prayer for every cell

Reverent, I grasp your lapels

Bless me IV.

I lay

Whispered freckles

Upon your sprawling stars

Ivory angled nebulas

Your spine

Part of @goodomenspoetry community weekly prompt :)

Good Omens Poetry: Aug-Kissed 6

Prompt number 6 for @aug-kissed: Gentle Peck. Tried my hand at a cinquain this time.

Cherry Atop a cake Just like the gentle peck Upon my cheek you leave behind Your love

[finleyorchid]

[angeldevilsthings]

Break down

Sanity lost

Rip at skin

With a feverish impatience

Collapse

Night sky

Darkest dawn

Sucks me in

Eyes glisten with wonderment

Nightfall

Self harm

Red blade

Clean with cloth

Euphoria with a twist

Personal injury

[a-dose-of-comatose]

Christmas

Single this year

Mistletoe long wilted

Tree left bare, ornaments dusty

Alone

[poppiesandpromises]

Floating

Shot through with gold

Cotton candy clouds drift

Sheep-shaped against the endless blue

Softness

[angie-words]

Having some fun with that cinquain format! Inspired by @aug-kissed and using the prompt Hand Kiss:

1941

Your hand

lingers on mine

A moment; a lifetime

It is a kiss in everything

but name

The stars which fall from space now pull upon the strings which trail behind. They drag to us the dawn.
