PA prompt Ekphrastic Poetry and PB prompt Walt's Genisis Form




In Each Other’s Arms

You and me in each other’s arms 
Making promises we can’t keep
Learning what heals and harms
Mesmerized by a love so new
Captivated by each other’s charms
Lying in a tumbled heap 

You and me in each other’s arms
Trying not to make a peep
The buzzing hive no longer swarms
Sister’s in bed, brother, too
Nightly noise raises alarms
Listening for patter of little feet

You and me in each other’s arms
The roots of our love growing deep
Resting here soothes and warms
Through the years we stay true
Finding shelter through the storms
Contented with the life we reap



After In Bed the Kiss by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
