Ash

rise slowly from ash
flames burn from within
dreams promise passion in turn
wistfulness upon waking
pierce my loneliness
with your fiery lust

I so want to read "awaking" as "waking," for the alliteration, but then I realized it's a Vicku and that would leave it short a syllable. In any case, I like this. It's warm, more electric and passionate than what I usually read from you. I hope that isn't an insult - it's not meant to be. :o)

Yes, it is a Vicku. Thanks for catching that. And, I am absolutely NOT insulted. I think that is quite a compliment. I wonder if you missed some earlier ones of mine...lol

Consider this to be an offshoot of the ones circulating at MTC...

ooh la la V!

I am ashamed that I didn't realize it was a Vicku, and was planning on suggesting "waking"

*hangs head in shame*

Since both of you wanted to change awaking, maybe between the three of us we can come up with something that still satisfies the syllable requirement.

Awesome, V! I think that alliteration works really well there. Glad you found a way to make it work. :o)
