Starvation

Kora

 If I had to explain,
I'd tell you that
His love was a hunger.
A wild and beautiful starvation
Mere words could never feed,
Breathing life into barren earth,
Casting light into darkness,
Laying stones tenderly
At the echo of my heart.

    Now this is a beautiful blend where creation in a biblical sense with science are cast as a biological need to make a romance of desire. So nicely written it stands out as brilliant. A fave

          I would say you like this guy, and if he was a bar of chocolate he would be devoured quick.

          • Kora

            Haha, sadly no ๐Ÿ˜ญ As with all modern love stories he cheated on me then ghosted ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ˜‚

                Makes for good poetry ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚
                I'll find the right guy eventually. (Either that or I'll become a swamp witch feared by the village children, both sound equally fun ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜‚)

                  Guys usually come in three's.
                  Swamp witches rock.

                    In THREE'S?!
                    That's a terrifying thought ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ˜‚
                    Swamp witches do rock ๐Ÿ˜Œ
