The shadow

 

Slowly stretches

 

Across your lips

 

Let me

 

Lie in your beauty

 

For a few fleeting 

 

Moments

 

The smile

 

Suddenly swims

 

Within your eyes

 

Let me

 

Stare into your soul

 

For a few more simple 

 

seconds

This poem is directly inspired by the Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge found here at Go Dog Go Cafe. The prompt this time was “Let Me”. I am working through older prompts to help spark my imagination. Tune in tomorrow to see the new challenge for this week! Photo by Tanya Trofymchuk on Unsplash.
