NaPoWriMo - here we go again!

Ok, so I'm a day late. I was no where near a computer yesterday as I needed to do the work thing (yes on a Sunday - don't be judging!).

I was astounded to find that it's already April - and it's once again National Poetry Month. Which means it's NaPoWriMo time. A poem a day for thirty days.

This was something I WAS able to accomplish last year, a fact I am quite proud of. (As opposed to my major fail at NaNoWriMo which we won't get into). I intend to do it again this year.

So today, I present you with TWO poems. The first of which is complete, the second of which I will need to mull over a bit before posting.

Here we go!

The Sound

That voice, with its

shallow lows,

and soaring highs;

the rich, lush

palatable syllables 

that squeeze the breath

from my lungs

and still the beat of my 

heart.

That voice,

which haunts my 

waking silences

and drowns 

my every thought.

That voice, 

which falls from those

soft, easy lips,

followed by 

that addictive smile,

and using 

a loose, pliable

tongue.

Those lips that once

kissed the love

in mine,

that tongue, 

which once 

found my words,

that smile,

which once mirrored mine.

That voice,

and all it is,

belongs to love,

belongs to loss,

belongs to my past,

and not my future.

That voice,

will often bring

tears to my eyes.

That voice,

will eternally

be my ghost.
