Blister: A Poem of Love

This poem was created based on 5 words I received using a random word generator online. The word generator gave me lift, aroma, submarine, holiday and blister. After lots of thought, and wanting to explore the realm of poetry, I came up with this (I could have done without blister...)


"Lift me" she said when she wanted to dance elegantly by candle light.
"Lift me" he said when he was struggling and needed a hand so badly.
"Lift me" she said when she longed to be held and caressed just so.
"Lift me" he said when his spirits were low and only her smile could help.

The aroma of the soup they had made filled them with hope and warmth.
The aroma of the crackling fire filled them with happy memories of the past.
The aroma of the brewing coffee filled them with energy as the clock turned midnight.
The aroma of the perfume and cologne filled them with love and playfulness.

She lovingly and softly sang "Yellow Submarine" to wake him on a lazy Sunday morning.
He layered meats, cheeses and veggies for her constructing her favourite submarine sandwich.
She laughed and celebrated as she won the game of battleships when she sunk his final submarine.
He often pretended that he was a submarine stealthily invading her waters when they watched TV.

While on holiday, they youthfully swam and played in the ocean as if they were dolphins.
While on holiday, they ate juicy and sweet exotic fruit with reckless abandon.
While on holiday, they slept till noon enjoying the cool breeze of the wind on their faces.
While on holiday, they grew closer and even more in love as if under a spell.

She rubs ointment on his blister while reciting romantic poetry to complete the mood.
He sings "Blister in the Sun" at the top of his lungs which always makes her so happy.
She runs and runs after him for hours; never wanting to stop even when a blister forms.
He tells her stories about their future together, a love for all time, hoping their blister will never pop.
