The SLAM! Green Room

My attempt at Pantoum

"Invalid Item" 
Needing to relieve her,
Death sat by her side,
Held her hand and cried,
His pain matching hers.

Death sat by her side.
I read the anguish on his face,
His pain matching hers
As his tears filled the room.

I read the anguish on his face,
Wishing for it to be over.
As his tears filled the room,
Death leaned in for a final kiss.

Wishing for it to be over,
Needing to relieve her,
Death leaned in for a final kiss,
Held her hand, and cried.


My attempt at free verse

"Invalid Item" 
The sight of you melts me,
a puddle at your feet.
Your passion
evaporates me
drawing me up
into your clouds.
Your lightning smile,
electrifies me,
bolt after heavenly bolt.
In turbulence, I remain
until your voice,
like thunder,
releases me,
into cooled rain.
