Today’s prompt is ‘Trust’ and we’re charged with writing an acrostic poem, using internal rhymes. I enjoyed writing this, but I do find my writing becomes much clumsier with such constraints. However, it’s good practice and I’ve given it my best shot!
Dependence
Drugged high, I watch and wait for your touch
Entrusting my life to you, your
Presence has become my essence
Existing in this space where only your face
Needs to be
Desolate, I lay shivering and sheet-bound
Expecting the cold breath of death
No power to move, yet
Caresses of your warm hand calm me
Escape is futile, still, in you I trust.
Rebooting 
Understand what you mean by constraints but this doesn’t read ungainly.
Oh thanks Doug.
I sooooo get the constraint thing and feeling it myself I got in a complete tizzy with the lymerick yesterday. I think you did very well with a difficult subject matter x
Thanks. The fact that I’m completely phased by the challenge, and then surprise myself by managing
to produce at least something, is quite pleasing. Progress….I hope!! 🙂
hah yes i know that feeling totally x
* blinks away tears* This so beautiful! Plus I loved how you’ve taken trust to mean something much deeper. 🙂
Thank you. Sorry for the tears 😉
I think it reads very well.
Thanks Sue.
Nice.. also scary how much we end up depending on people and placing our own happiness in their hands – most certainly me
Mine’s a very special post today…
