The Rising

Sultry girl Crouching tiptoed on a chair Watching as it rises She fears and welcomes the flood Shivers in anticipation Will she meet the waters with equal force? Or will she be swept away by the depth of his desire? For Forever Malta's Contest

That's great Damont. If you have a chance check out my poem "Broken People" I have a feeling you might enjoy it. Take care Rick.
