Amok

By Gypsie-Ami Offenbacher-Ferris

In response to Sammi Cox’s Weekend Writing Prompt and Challenge #280 Prompt Word Amok Challenge Write a poem or piece of prose in exactly 35 words.

My feelings run amok from day
to day and night to night.
One hour to one minute,
my heart swells to nearly bursting,
then tightens into an angry fist
and swells upon your first kiss.
