Sorry for not editing this but my phone is acting up! #writingprompt @penguinpoetrynyc, Theme: #reverie Today, I smoked your favourite brand of cigarettes just to remind myself of you. Inhale. Pause. Exhale reluctantly. I clouded my tea with milk and sugar to replicate the taste of your lips. Let it seep through me. I ate my toast with butter, because that's what you always do, and I feel closer to you that way. Today, your name was my mantra, my affirmation. I spoke you into existence. I dipped my toes in the tub, then let my body sink, pretended it was your love I was bathing in. I curled up in bed when the sun was shining bright and warm, let the blanket hug my spine, pretended it was you. I put one hand into the other and cradled myself to sleep. My hands are an empty house with the lights left on for you. My body is an avalanche of reverie. My mind is a cloud of want and wonder. My heart is a dagger in my chest. - @emma.willows.writing #poem #poetry #poemoftheday#writer #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #poetscommunity #writerscommunity #spilledink#words #penguinpoetrynyc #globalagecaption #yourheartbeatsstrong #emmawillowswriting #newcopoetry #communityofpoetry #creativewriting #creative #art #womenwhowrite #herwordisgold #shewrites #europeanagepoetry #poetryisart #artlixirfresh #artlixirspoken #silverleafpoetry @silverleafpoetry #writertag #omypoetry (at Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsxoXtqh5EL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wkcvu2dm9jsg
