prompt; write a poem on ecstasy in 5 minutes...
Ecstasy is…
Understanding your heart when I can’t touch your face…
Or when we are apart, I can still taste your kiss
Ecstasy is…
Tracing the outline of you
Into a poem where wishes come true
Ecstasy is…
Knowing that you feel what I feel
And know what I’m saying when I’ve said nothing at all
Ecstasy is…
Not only in the holding of you, but in the letting go
It is a gift to ache because of love, don't you know?
Ecstasy is…
My pulse quickening beneath your touch
And wishing you wouldn’t be gone so much
J~
And there is a thrill bordering ecstasy to write about it in 5 mins.;)
And know what I’m saying when I’ve said nothing at all...
