Begin.

Throw words at me...

Don't fret, for I won't rip and snarl at them
or try to tear your muscle with chasing,
because, in the end, I'll savor these
moments
opening their eyes to be memories.

Build them up. Build us up.
[Even from nothing, I know you can]

Pull me down from the clouds
to be near you.

Sink inside the waves of a heart
undernourished from keeping
language away and hushing
sunlight.

I yearn to stay here until I
reach what has been aching
to speak-
so let loose the leaves,
let them shower on our shoulders
and please,

don't walk away if it
starts to thunder spring.

Inspiration: Was looking for poetry prompts and saw this post online saying "throw words at me Tumblr" and that image got in my mind of wanting someone to actually do that!

    I'm back with a better and more operative comment.

    Even though you found a prompt and created something unique from it, you still had that MaryAnne touch to each stanza, there was a gentle urgency in the words, and it gave me the impression of asking someone to tell you how they feel about you, whether it be a new spouse, or a friend, or even yourself, you just want to be told the truth.

    I love the use of spring, and thunder, that's beautiful, and contrasting with calmness and the rush and urgency in the piece, adding to the loudness of thunder.

    I love how simple the title is as well, that one word, it can mean so much, drawing back on the new spouse, to begin to show feelings, or open up, to begin to speak truthfully...or just the beginning of a conversation.

    I really enjoyed this write :)

    WOW MA.
    What a neat idea, you can write from the simplest prompts, how do you do it?
    I want to comment properly but neither do I have the words or capability, which is not right for you asked to have words thrown at you Lol.

    It's only 7am and I've just got up half hour ago and am halfway through dressing...haha, so forgive me for this rushed comment. I'll be back later though. For sure

    just had to comment :)
