Poetry Prompt 62 – Holding Hands – In Your Mind

write-a-poem-in-which-hands-are-held

I stepped into your mind

Where like peak hour I found

The hustle and bustle of modern life

Thunderous deafening noise

Lights that flashed on and off

Look at me look at me!

And I wondered

Why I was here.

Sound within your mind

Is a cacophony

I felt overwhelmed,

For within you chaos rules.

I want to run

Flee.

I turned to step away

As your hand slipped into mine.

I felt you lean into me.

As your lips brushed my ear

You whispered

It’s ok

Stick with me

You’ll be ok.

I felt your warmth

Flood blissfully over me.

 

Originally I wrote a version of this in August 30 2013.
