Connection Poem by Marijke McKinney

We are nothing
But drawn souls
Wanting a beautiful
Picture of admiration

Empty bowl
Hands grasping
Children yearning
For a world
Of beautiful color

Black and white
Eyes of tender lust
It’s never enough
Touch me
All over my soul

Make me scream
The bowl’s empty
Fill me with you
Until my sorrow
Lingers to dust

We are nothing
But drawn souls
Wanting a beautiful
Picture of admiration

Let my colors
Relate to yours
Because I’m so sad
You must be too
