I see my reflection in the black window
Are those your eyes looking back at me?
Perhaps I lost my way in those woods
Years ago, walking with you and the dogs.
Isabella, you know I #WritingCommunity #Fiction #Poetry #Spillwords #Literature

Waiting for Eons
written by: Bilquis Fatima
 

I didn’t realize when sunny times
turned turbulent uprooting my faith in love,
which, still blooming was ruthlessly crushed.

One fine winter morning you asked for my hand
and I gave it #Literature #Spillwords #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Fiction

You
written by: Dessy Tsvetkova
 

Your voice to me is as a song of nightingale,
that wakes me up each charming morning.
Your arms are warm as blanket in the winter.
My days are starting as enchanted game
and I go out to meet the new #WritingCommunity #Spillwords #Literature #Fiction #Poetry

Divine Madness
written by: Heath Brougher
 

As I’ve said before—
just like Nietzsche—
I did not go mad—
instead, I went sane.

I exist now in my dancing mania
surrounded by a predatory perniciousness
of oligarch-puppets prowling #WritingCommunity #Spillwords #Literature #Poetry #Fiction

Honorific

We are hard-bound, bloodied by sleepy dogma
Some turn to stone as the eardrums burst
But branded bold by the teeth of nature
We'll carve the animals in our eyes

Even Heartbreak Was Taken
written by: The Stranger
 

I eagerly wait for you,
day and night.
Aching of being with you.

At times, I sleep although I am not sleepy,
just for the chance
of finding you in my dreams.

I then see you #WritingCommunity #Fiction #Poetry #Literature #Spillwords

Mind Those Gaps
written by: Dilip Mohapatra
 

In the frenzy’s blur
of rush hours
when you alight
from the local train
don’t trip and titter
avoid those traps
and mind those gaps…

How you hate
those disruptions

Nature's Culling
written by: Hanna Biali
 

The fiery sun sinks below the horizon,
slowly dusk settles into night,
an air of anticipation is rising
as slithering bodies pack tight
above the black opening of the cave.

Beginning
written by: Larry Vernier Sr
 

Beneath the weight of yesterday a soft light stretches.
Cracking open the horizon.
Colors bleeding into one another.
As the earth breathes a new.
The whispers of dawn.

The Viewer of the View

I am a majority of nothing
I count for minus one
I am a witness to everything
an observer of three dimensional illusions

A Recluse’s Last Words Before Going Into Seclusion

Tell me when the fear is gone, tell me when we’re free
Tell me when it doesn’t matter who you want to be
Tell me when a sea of love has washed the hate away #Spillwords #Literature #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Fiction

The Density of Negative Space

Across the Landscape of Time
written by: Alex Andy Phuong
 

Dare to care about the land,
And even offer a helping hand,
As a way to hopefully understand
How a house divided
Would never stand,
And by being as pure as gold,

Leaf and Wing

On a cool September afternoon, three-year-old Annie wore a warm knitted sweater over her coveralls. She carried a small pink purse—perhaps meant for coins. Her mother handed it to her and said, #Fiction #Literature #Spillwords #Poetry #WritingCommunity

Inertia
written by: Eliza Segiet
translated by: Dorota Stępińska
 

When an unimaginable image from before
suddenly became part of the memories,
which
silently and inexpressibly return,
something has to be done.
