An Inch Closer: The Sins We Make
Take your step
An inch closer
And hereafter let’s walk away
Shake world that immures us
Hand in hand,
Breakaway
You need not drown
Yourself in longing
Crave for sweetness—I’ll be the insulin
In a cloudburst of joy we will radiate
Sin slovenly,
I’m your chocolate

In response to MindLoveMisery’s Menagerie’s Wordle #161.
After another hiatus in the blogosphere, I am back and instantly inspired to write by two awesome poets: 1) another romantic piece from Charles entitled, Chocolate To Me, and 2) a sensual piece entitled, What I’ve Become, from a newfound blogger, Holly. Make sure to check out their works! 🙂
Also I’ve decided to add this poem to my little collection of An Inch Closer series which you can find here: An Inch Closer, An Inch Closer: Renegades and An Inch Closer: What lies beyond
Head over here to join the fun:

Hi Maria 🙂
Thanks for playing the wordle this week 🙂
You’ve done a most excellent job with the words – certainly very unexpected, but highly creative and very sensually smooth – creamy on the tongue and in the mind. I’m still sitting here savouring your poem – it really beautiful!

Well done metaphors forchis craving for sweetness, when she’ll be his “insulin” his “chocolate.” Life saving in other words 🙂
