Tongues
Jessica Greku
A storm stirring up in my body
causing my soul to tremble
and my heart to quiver.
Thoughts escape captivity
and bolt to be voiced
only to be faced with the barricade
that presents itself as a tongue tucked away
behind a broken smile.
Poet’s Notes: While we can manage our actions, the spectrum of our thoughts and emotions is often beyond the realm of our control. In certain instances, we find ourselves disregarding our deep-rooted thoughts and contradicting them through our actions.
Editor’s Note: What a poetic way to experience a kiss! The concept of thoughts fighting to be voiced only to collide with a kiss brings a bold freshness to an otherwise cliché topic.
