   I don't know if we're supposed to share the prompt or not...; I'm going to go with no.
   
   Title: you can have it
   
   

   Spoiler

   gently kissing your ears
   like soft felt against your feet
   fuzzy and warm
   
   cuddling up to you
   just a fragile little beat
   puffing over your senses
   
   whisper your sweet nothings
   and i'll melt into your strong arms
   eternally yours

   Ah, I had a short story for this but I couldn't finish it in time due to sudden quizzes. Ah well. Choppy poetry it is.
   
   Title: Samson & Delilah
   
   

   Spoiler

   
   
   The scissors are bloody
   With strands of black and red
   A pair of witnesses
   and a pair of murderers.
   
   I recall her eyes, like feathers
   flooding the pillows below us
   like dirt would flood over
   a closed casket.
   
   No god watched over us
   behind those blinders,
   the Bible couldn't recall
   the space between heaven and hell
   
   like I couldn't remember,
   the gap between her thighs.
   
   But I remember the scissors.
   
   I remember our end.
   
   She whispered to me, the way
   God might have, in my youth,
   "You might marry your friends,
   but you'll always love your enemies."
   
   Once again, I didn't listen.
