Pinned
I didn’t see the door…
until it opened

solid oak
vines entwined
curling down
its well-worn spine

breaths wild escaped
its widened space
hotly beckoning
to its embrace
deep inside
that inner place

rocky ruins
primordial shrine
once you yours
now thine mine

Gravity’s a #law, they say, but flying disrespects it.
Grammar lays down rigid rules, but poetry neglects it.
Greed makes economic sense, but charities defy it.
Sometimes straying from the norm works better when you try it.

in remembrance
we say
in remembrance
we pray

but in inaction
we stay
we stray
we never find a way

#fastprompt
When half the candles are lit,
Guttering flames somehow reaching,
All for those we lost,
On this day of remembrance,
We pray for thee.

Your 1st prompt is: "remembrance"

joy elusive
Illucid
come and dance
with us

or we’ll lose it
we won’t chose it
when we should

fear we’ll use us
and abuse us
‘til we cower
& give in

so come
take our hand
& give us a spin
‘til we give in
to the joy
that we can

#fastprompt
The joy of a brisk breeze
Lightning quick snatch a leaf
Floating hay that cause a sneeze
Fields aglow with yellow sheaf.

give me back the days & nights
when the troubles slipped on by

give me back the times we laughed
& we frolicked through the grass

take these toils & turn them fast
so we ease onto the greener paths

give us back the days
that pass us by

#fastprompt
Harvest time
A time to frolic
And enjoy the cool air.
We've peeled off the skin
Of summer sweat
And glisten
With bales
Of Hay.

inch by inch
shadows feast
try to look ahead
running but
we never reach

machine pulpits
preach n’ preach
creepin in through
our cracks
turning out wants
not needs

the mother had our back
but we turned our backs
on her

#fastprompt
You could clearly spot him
In the shadows,
And the racket he made
Going up the stairs
Was atrocious!
What good sneaking around
To suck your blood dry
When his victims
Were already savvy to his lurking?

a beautiful dream
disfigured by reality
– ripples in the pond

#fastprompt
It floated disfigured before us,
Unattached and bodiless,
Free from its mortal coil.
And it also dripped blood
All over the carpet.
How does one make a brain
Clean up after itself?

which pathway
is the pasts way
for a chance to rewrite

twice ~
pathway left
pathway right
one leads to a past
one leads to a light

thrice ~

pathways left
pathways fright
pathways forget

If you find yourself lost
Especially in time
Don’t forget the secret pathways
I showed you.
Oh, I haven’t shown you yet?
Well, word to the wise,
Don’t get lost.

you share the pieces
one
by one

a word here
a tear

a listening ear
there

until what’s left
is missing pieces

emptied
but not filled

given
but not rebuilt

One by one
The children go missing
Lazy afternoon
The swings stand abandoned.
No merriment left
For anyone anymore.

you’re two
lost
like an abandoned shoe

you’re three
stood your ground
and scraped your knee

you’re four
now anxiety
forevermore

and the patterns
keep beating
repeating
repeating

and you’re
locked in
left needing
just bleeding
and beating

(1/4)
You remember what happened
Why the mall was abandoned
And now there are these stairs
That used to move
Stuck in a holding pattern
Their gears rusted and unused.

last stop
at the end of the line

last note
at the end of the night

and we were almost better
in the lights
as debtors
owing nights
together
to the lies
we’d weathered

_______

now dear
we can pull up the sheets
curl in our feet
and admit our defeat

#fastprompt
You overslept again
And feel like an imbecile.
Now it's the last stop
And you're the last passenger
But the bus driver is also gone.
You're caught in emptiness
With no tomorrows.

ever, ever, ever
feel alone
under the weather

in the rain
and the pain
you’re insane
just can’t keep
it together

and it’s strange
and it’s strange
and it’s strange

strangely
empty effort

to pretend
at the end
to begin
again
again within

#fastprompt
It's midnight at the laundromat
And it's strangely empty,
But only recently.
There are puddles on the floor
And a smell of stale cigarettes,
But no people.
Where did everyone go?

what waits
sky and sea
wind in face

if only
what we’d seen
had remained

these sails
would pass us by
‘til another tomorrow

we’d stay
and bide the tides
for a second tomorrow

let’s wait
sea and sky
stay in place

#fastprompt
You'll never know what waits
Whether great or horrific
In the fog
On a dense fall morning.

paradise
we’ll touch the sky
and we’ll never come down
never come down

paradise
just raise our eyes
and look away as we drown
away as we drown

in ignorance is bliss
in lies we’ll find our wish
and we’ll seal it with a kiss
seal it with a kiss

We made our way
To paradise,
Leaving worry behind
For another day.

and the wolf howls in return

when you're not afraid,
but he's looking
to swallow you whole.

with axes heavy?
or must you fight
alone?

treasure o’ me heart
tarry longer
n’er part

furl thy sails
& voyage not

nary a moment
shalt be lost

skies eternal
e’er can stay
for hearts twined
shouldst never stray

And no bloody map,
You'll find the nearest port,
Buy your new mate a pint,
And drink one out of him!
It's his loss, and your gain!

wishin’ for

when all we knew was homework
& the tires on our bikes
& the late saturday nights
with our s’mores under the sky
& the twinkle in our eyes
as we laughed until we cried

One serene view that never changes
Timeless
Murky twilight backlit by orange fire.
We have retreated away from coming night,
A cup of cider and silence between us,
As we greet the sunset.

Of the furry and growling variety.
Swear I saw a bear last night
Hanging with a squirrel.
Looked like a pretty solid friendship to me.
