Tina Stewart Poems

Cowering, curled in a ball on the floor
You peck peck peck then you peck some more
Like a carrion crow who’s discovered dead flesh
You hover then swoop down to wound me afresh
...

I awake to another dark and dismal day.
Eyes black as ink, glaring demonically,
with a frown as threatening as thunder
Mouth taut and twisted.
...

Unsuspecting eyes meet ********Lungs sharply contract
Hands touch ********Electricity surges
Warm ardent embrace ********Pulse rate increases
Fervent first kiss ********Fireflies take flight
...
