49 year old man who looks nothing like profile picture. And yes, I do believe in faeries😊
The words run
And so little stays
Paper becomes dust
As together we age
Our memories and fears
We share them as one
A breath on a page

Not just one
A whole mess
Our friend Quill
No more
The flowers steal
His last breath
Now, I’m not saying
He won’t be missed
But let me introduce
Your new Wildwalk host
Who goes by the name
Fliddais
#wildwalkprompt #orchid #poetry
Today I give you something that I am horribly allergic to. Gather enough of them in a room and I can't breathe.

Before the sight
Smelling the flight of
The flies that swarmed
Here in the cold
The night air was
Warmed with decay
An old terror crawled
But you pushed it away
Steadied and bold
You knew in your heart
That here you must stay

Remnants of what has been lost
Crumble in the wind.

Maintains the least
Resistance to
The status quo
Knowing you lack
The mind to mention
The will to question
That maybe your life
Has passed beyond
Your own attention

We dig up the bones
Tell a story that bends
We burn and destroy
A means to an end
Bury the ashes

As the blood falls upon us
To cleanse us of all sin
We’ll sing and dance
Forget about the year

Such a beautiful face
With no emotion to hide

Fear swelling in my chest
As the ocean takes
A defensive position
As if the waters feel fear
I raise up my arms and
Promise no harm
Will come from me
The waves begin to calm
And return to the sea

Strangled for the time
Being as I find, not so much
An idea as a possibility
Of a tangled future foretold
As this fever takes hold of
The thoughts in my mind
Still tangled in rhyme

Bones frozen from
My chosen lot in life
The wife serves me tea
Scalding, burning
I can’t see past the steam
I enter a dream
I was drugged
It would seem, I
Awaken, back in ice
A note pinned to my chest
“Thanks for the kidney,
That was nice.”

I find my peace
Alone but not lonely
With the dead I weep
The winds tear my skin
But I do not bleed
Wrapped in darkness
With nothing left of me

And after awhile
The spores
Began to spread
A war inside my head
Something began to grow
Never knowing
In the end
Believing I was alive
But most certainly dead

The threads, once rope
Swings for the condemned
Now the spiders carry
The ghosts which they shed

Fatalities
Cheap weed and Mountain Dew
Taco Bell, the bathroom used
Muted laughter and victory cries
I had the win, but time to die
“Finish Him!”
I looked at you
As if despised
I tore out your heart
And held it to the sky
