My Heat Stroke
The moment I open my eyes in the morning,
the thought of you appears in my mind
before the light reaches my sight.
I make my bed knowing
you'll mess it up later.
I can still feel the warmth of your touch underneath my clothing,
even though you never undressed me.
I perfectly picture our last encounter,
the hot weather
evaporated our sweat drops.
Vanilla ice cream seemed like the only possible solution.
For some reason I tasted nothing,
maybe because I was too distracted
from sitting on your lap.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
The sweet coldness of the dessert
followed a pattern through my hands,
when I looked up to your face
it was blurred.
I'm not sure whether it was the heat stroke
or the fact my eyes were still closed.

"The content is amazing but the pacing is confusing, the stanzas get on top of each other and that makes the reader stop to feel in order to understand what is written. I really like it though, it's sensoring atmosphere…" -

"Going about blogging." by @leeholland115
"I truly believe that not forcing rhymes into a poem is better. A poem does not need them to be a poem, trust your work more and try to ground it into physical details." -

"Flashdance" by @WylEWriter
"Maybe if you cared less about rhymes your work could gain depth because the words wouldn't have to be restricted to a "sound" and the feeling would have more room to breathe." -
