I miss looking at you.
I miss watching your smile rise,
lighting up my world
from dawn until eternity sets
and everything sleeps forever.
I miss your eyes and the way you’d look at me,

Oddech
written by: Mirosława Stojak
 

Twój oddech wkradł się do mnie na zawsze
Tłamsi moje grzeszne myśli
Zniewala serce

Leży ze mną na poduszce
Pognieciony włosami
Bez odzieży
Ponętny jak twe czerwone usta

A kiedy zniknie #Poetry #Literature #Fiction #WritingCommunity #Spillwords

You Are My Path
written by: Jasna Gugić
 

So often I stand
and simply watch you
in the silence of life’s temples,
as you bless all that lies before me
and clear the paths I walk
the paths that once led nowhere
while your prayers #Literature #Poetry #Spillwords #Fiction #WritingCommunity

Shattered

stillness
quiet inhalation
before explosion of life

hidden in darkness
worked in the womb of the world
winter’s fetters shattered

dark glass splinters
pale metal cracks
kaleidoscope of shards

GOLD of a ripe oat straw, gold of a southwest moon,
Canada thistle blue and flimmering larkspur blue,
Tomatoes shining in the October sun with red hearts,

A Bear in My House

Rare and juicy. That’s how my Teddy likes his steak. Can’t fail in this one simple task, can I? Knuckles white on the handle, I stare at the sizzling piece of meat, the heat in sharp contrast to #Poetry #Spillwords #Fiction #Literature #WritingCommunity

I. Dark Prologue

Walking through the hillside,
with a hiking bag slung over my shoulder
and a pair of dusty shoes, I feel the cold
seep into my bones, making me shiver.

AI Counterfeits the Moon

The one percent would counterfeit the moon,
if they could, and sell it by the yard,
“Buy it for the atmosphere, you should!

The Rotten Seed
written by: Manpreet Kaur Popli
 

The reap is the result of what thou hadst sown,
The seed was rotten,
The one thou hadst sown.

The child thou didst raise was defective from birth,

Yearning, burning, I need your skin,
Those lips, hips, catching my retina,
In absentia, I catch your eyes, Brazilian smiles,
Shaking through my soul, Sofia,
And trickles down, my mind surrounds me, #Literature #Fiction #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Spillwords

my father's voice on a Tuesday night
and i thought

and it was gone. poof.

The first thing she had looked for after arriving here,
Her expert practiced eyes,

Fall Awakening

As fall breezes begin to arrive
Subtle changes
Marking off days on the calendar
Yet roses bloom and trees stay green
A lovely time

Shadows stretch across the wall,
Shaping themselves into your silhouette
And I find myself no longer talking to the moon,
Instead I’m talking to you,
Whispering words into your ear;
