Lock Me In

by Megan Harvey

It's something around the eyes.
A sliptrip f a l l
That leaves me puddled in your irises,
Hearing your faint whisperlaugh
As you look everclose at my limbs, splayed
Just like before . . .
Close your lids.
Lock me lose me behind your lashes.

I promise I won't try to find my way home.

Author's Note: New one; a few hours old. Wanted to test a new, more intimate (?) style I've been working with. Been working more with word style, conjoining and the like, but it feels forced somewhat. I do love the image line 2 presents.

Megan, this is the first of your poems that I've read and I'm very happy I stopped by. If this is a new style you're developing, please keep it up- it works very well. You've done a great job with the images here, and the mix of innocence and maturity in the speaker's voice makes me think of angels. Thank you for sharing this, and welcome home! -M

I love the imagery of the whole thing. You use some interesting language here that really pulls it all together.
