Short Poem of the Day 📝

At Slumber's Door

My love, drift away into sweet sleep
dream your way into a lovely paradise
holding my hand and kissing my lips
until sunrise and
I awake in your arms.

Everybody Has a Heartache: A Blues
—Jo Harjo #poetry

That woman over there the color of broth did what she was told.

It’s worked out well as can be expected in a world

Where she was no beauty queen and was never seen,

Always in the back of someplace…

#Disheveled #craftiness
is the intellect’s wilderness,
where thought hunts meaning
with primitive grace,
where instinct sharpens
beneath the moon’s indifferent gaze,
where logic trails the
quiet scent of intuition,
and understanding forms
from the wounds of confusion.

Autumn rain pours over gray streets,
leaves churn in gutters like displaced thoughts.
Puddles hold the sky’s relentless weight,
the neighborhood breathes in violent conversion,
as the storm presses on without mercy.

A smattering
of stars
like icicles on
a windowpane
glistening in
the dark

they shimmer over
a memory—
standing under
a streetlight
one New Year's night

kissing on a corner,
thinking being
that in love
was a right

not a privilege
we'd learn
to squander

evening draws
cloudy curtains
covering good and
evil deeds alike
darkness blankets
equalising pain
and comfort
judgement
put to rest
as foxes start
prowling
our neighborhood

Hello Wild walk writers

Darkness draws in far more swiftly this time of year. Don't quite think darkness fit the picture though...

#Evening
