Prompt 269

A pivotal moment
The glass slipping from her hand Breaking violently into pieces
Beginning in a different season
A cool zephyr drifts in through
the window
She pauses in a hushed life
Remembering all she has lost

#SenseWrds

Ionic channels rooted for the elements..

The wind blows
a rustling thru
my bones.
A shudder
comes over me,
left me
unraveling. . . .

#SenseWrds #poem #poetry #prompt269 #prompts

some days
I think less about
what you imagine about me

but whether I imagined you

if I did,
I'd probably
fall to pieces

couldn't it have been day
and now it's just
night?

because
maybe I am a villain

but tell me
that for a moment
when your breath
was on my neck

I was
perfection

#SenseWrds 269

Death is
transcended
by the Eternal -
the Heavens
can still wash
both away.

#sensewrds 268 sinuous, dreaming, sparrow

A river
merrily
asleep

Oneiric confluence
Thames, Tyne
Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, Euphrates
Nile
Lea

In the playground when I was very small:
fat grey birds, small brown birds.

The river now gives me kittiwakes
The poet an albatross.

Graceful shapes, drift in and out as I sleep
I know I can’t keep hold of it,
and those sweet trills; I want to bottle them
but I know I will never a catch it,
before I wake, the magic has flown.

Green fields beneath soft cheeks
love bites spread so easily
fingers tracing pretty words
across each others bodies.

Prompt 268

She eats like a bird
Her thin frame is skin and bone
She longs to take flight

#SenseWrds #Senryu

Slithering towards
A sleeping bird, a python
Tasting victory.

Lost within a maze
of my own consciousness,
tossing & turning,
searching for the daylight
in an endless night.
Waiting for a call,
the song of a morning
chorus, the songbirds
awaken me in a new
chorus of enlightenment.

She was named after a flower
that's all she remembers now.
Not the shape of her face,
the sound of her voice
or the feel of her arms.
The important parts of her
Mother purged from her mind
by the passage of time.

the Fountainhead
disgorged Truth
at an alarming rate -

What was the point
of being All Knowing
if you were
powerless to stop it?
