POEM STARTER

Submitted by Karman

Write a poem about the protagonist getting something off of their chest.

The Taker

Take him!


Take him from my dreams!

Take him from my schemes!

Take him from my mind!

Take him from the time that I once felt alive—


when he took me back across timelines and eras


when my soul was on fire and my stanzas were clever


when we made love out of words and bodies and minds


when we travelled through air, space and time

to find one another,

delve into each other,

ignite a great fire of mutual pleasure


when all of our hopes and wishes and sights

were exponentially growing and forming with might…


— might we actually pull it off ?


— might we actually be the promised ones?


— might it all come together as we’d come together


…. as we’d come


…. we’d come


…. we’d come





… undone.




He’s gone.




Taken.
