unbound

from Emily's word challenge I pilfered off Ana S. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/ofthestars/1766878/

your door.

tethered --

my heart
was bound
to the
ghostly ribbon
of my
unsettled past.

your kiss.

terrified --

I swallowed
the rush
of what was missing
before I
fell upon
your lovely lips.

released.

Very nicely done, the ribbon of unsettled past...
That's such a perfect line that I totally get.
A nice ending. :) always fun to fall upon the lips of someone special.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you. I really liked the way this one turned out, and I owe it to you, and Emily's contest.

[Matching Socks]

I think yours is way better than mine, I don't mind admitting it. :)
But I'll take credit, sure. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

what a nice thing to say. Thank you.

[Shimmerbliss/CAF]

Wow! Superbly done! There is a beautiful tension in this poem that settles into an uplifting and lovely ending. Just don't know what else to say but "Bravo"!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you, that's all I can say. :)

Well done hon... oh how we can lose all our sensibility when we get lost in the passion of another.

[Lyn Anderson]

ah I never had much sensible about me anyway

[Sami Khalil]

A lovely combination and outcome regarding the word challenge. A kiss changes everything some people might say. This poem provides a thoughtful but also comforting mood at the same time. A very well-written piece.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you. These word challenges are interesting. And people come up with so many ideas.

[V]

That's true. You've done it well. You're welcome. :)

we hold back because of previous pain, but a kiss can unlock those tightly shut feelings, in an instant.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you very much. I like to stretch myself every once in a while by conforming to a contest.
