“Embrace We”
When I see your face in plain,
it seems as though
you hide from me.
Like scratches on a glass
there is nothing, like our match.
This hurt we share, is looming over me
as if to glare.
If only we could speak aware
we could move forward bare.
I see your eyes are glistening
it’s like small whispers
whistling.
Let me see my pain’s pair
I want to be there, to brisk away
our souls sears.
Embrace we, lets hold on
to each others
tears.

Welcome to my new series, a weekly blog on what’s inspiring me. I spent much of last week in bed with a stomach bug. I’ll spare you the details of that—but in addition to the grotesque physical symptoms, I had some fever dreams I won’t soon forget. Imagine my surprise to see Vocal’s newest challenge: Write a fiction story about a recurring dream or nightmare.
