Fiery emotions at the end of this beautifully penned poem. In particular, these lines:

wishing it were someone, anyone
who could hold me tight enough to smother
this wild flame in my chest,
to disarm my heart
of its burning

The beginning stanza is also superbly written :

I can tell by the slump of my words
that they're tired of standing in this imagery,
they'd rather just fall into Winter,
press like Autumn
against the cold earth that only embraces
what nestles in

If I had to write this stanza I could have blended autumn in to winter a little differently, but again the thoughts are yours that matter in this composition. The poet know best. 5/5

A good wonderful poem I loved it good job an keep up the good work 5/5

A great write indeed. I was dragged away by the first stanza. Fiery emotions...

Really interesting :)

"become tangled in this labyrinth of life
that sometimes prefers sleep
over dreaming,"

I adored this piece, it is definitely so true. Sometimes our dreams haunt us so much, even good dreams, that we just need to remain in a slumber, uninterrupted for our words to permeate.

This poem is beautiful, Melissa. I love your title - I think we all do :)

"I can tell by the slump of my words
