Saturday Centus - 27 July 2013 "Banking" on Love

"I just realized my lips are inside out.  They should be turned inwards because I spend most of my time talking to myself." - Jarod Kintz



SATURDAY CENTUS



Yes, as a matter of fact, this truly is Saturday Centus.

Besides no spitting please, her rules are-

The prompt this week:  'Ground control to Major Tom'

Number of words:  No more than 107 total (including the 5 words of the prompt)

Style of writing: Romance (yeah, I know...the heat is getting to me!  You can listen to the song on You-tube (link on prompt) for romantic inspiration - MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)

Additional Pictures: Any

Ground control to Major Tom

 

Can you hear me, Major Tom?

 

Tom?

 

Nervously I watch,

straining forward to hear you.

My heart drones a most slumberous song

without you

I'd lose my appetite

for love.

There won't be enough protein pills to survive

losing you.

Your heavy motor purring like an alley cat,

drowns everything out.

 

Commencing countdown

now

engines all around

buzzed idly

yet

I only hear

the

tick-tocking

of my heart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your finger down the wire

nervously, I sing relentlessly

 

Ground control to Major Tom

can you hear me?

 

Ready set go

"CHECK ignition"

pours from your window

meticulously I catch

your

last words

 

 

all covered in dust.

 

Moments before

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,

 four, three, two, one, lift off!

 

See you

 

at

 

 the

 

finish line!
