Winter Poetry Slam: Tres

Sweating fever dream
Their names echo from the walls,
My arms lay empty

    Gentle breezes tickle leaves
    Finches bring a smile

    (just thought I add a little cheer, a touch of winter in Florida)

  6. Oh I missed this one...one of my favs so far...

    Empty arms lay lifeless draped towards nothingness
    A void that was cold, stinging all that filled its presence with memory. A memory of longing, longing that had no purpose if the warmth of the walls the kept the fever at bay from outside dreamers...

    hmmm, I have to work on that one...

  7. I don't like having empty arms. It's nice to snuggle together at night with that special person.
