Dew of Dawn

Posted on by areadingwriter

Inside my hollow chest
lies a heart void of love–
a desert which hasn’t tasted
sprinkles of rain from above.

Then like pregnant drops of dew
on a chilled yet rose-pink dawn,
you kissed my cacti and sand
when you made me your own.

In response to dVerse‘s Quadrille #25 with the word “dawn” from Björn Rudberg (brudberg).
Just write a poem of precisely 44 words, including the word dawn.

      1. I remember Silence of The Lambs where there was a hint of sensuality between Hannibal Lecter and Agent Starling and all he wanted to do was eat her :0
