I consume the hearts I win
You collect them
You collect them
break them
sin
sin
I feed hunger, needs within
You’re just trifling
squelching
din
squelching
din
Neither one of us pretends,
Feigns regret,
lets love
come in
Feigns regret,
lets love
come in
Perhaps we make up yang and yin
Both content
with veil
so thin
with veil
so thin
of humanity
*Inspired by Vice/Versa @ Poets United ~ Consume, Collect, Regret, Content

Very insightful verse. Nice use of the prompts!
Kim, I’m continuously amazed (with a bit of envy) at how well and how often you write to prompts. I like the structure and message of this one.
Thanks, Akeith! Prompts are fun for me and, like doing a morning workout or yoga practice, they limber me up for the other writing I work on.
This is cleverly done, so much with so few words. Lovely indeed.
Fragmentation..a mix of puzzles which make a whole..compliment each perhaps..maybe contentment comes from ‘just right’..jae
Maybe it does, Jae… maybe it does!
Beautiful and thought-provoking, Kim!
As long as neither side gets hurt, that’s the thing isn’t it. Lovely piece Kim.
