Scratch the Itch

Listen to poem:

Illustrious 
Phantom
You chase 
My desire 
For satisfaction
As I chase you
Hither and thither
Like the rainbow's end
Always just out of reach
Escalating intensity or just
A trick of the cruel mind
Dancing across my skin
Infiltrating my sanity
As a ghostly feather 
Until I find your 
Illusive hiding
Place
Ahh

Ink Empress Date: 10/24/2023 9:36:00 PM What a brilliant quote! Ive never seen that before but that resonates with me so much. For some reason when i dont write a poem everyday i feel like something is missing and i feel heavy, like i need to release that, and when i do i feel so much better, as for your poem, i mus say i love the flow and how you’ve expressed here! So good! Especially the rainbow line is so creative! And also the ending is so natural! You really are so eloquent with your way of words! Brilliant one!
