SPU Poetry Contest #3: Chaotic Chemistry

Chaotic Chemistry

Quiet head

Loud heart

Come together

Worlds apart

Drifting dreamer

Matter of fact

When direct

Meets abstract

Fast feeling

Slow kiss

Brain off

Body bliss

Morning smile

Night drive

Knees weak

Never thrive

War of words

Make-up touch

Far too little

All too much

Steady angst

Fickle fade

Will not leave

Cannot stay

Screaming mind

Tacit tongue

Wistful ending

Just begun

Overt nature

Subtle soul

Strong halves

Broken whole

Thanks to Hive account@poetrybyjeremy and Hive account@poetsunit for sponsoring this Poetry Contest each week, as well as offering some really terrific writing prompts. This poem was inspired by an amazing, yet frustrating excerpt from The Process of Writing a Love Letter, by Hive account@itinerantartist, whose muse's love language is words of affirmation:

My throat, a dam

Passing droplets while gushing waters attempt to overflow

My tongue, a straightjacket

Twisting arms and disorienting limbs

Struggling

Strangling

Suppressing

All writings are my own.
