tiny trumpet sounds
their final tune
mossy air encircles
flares of periwinkle
rust onto the hillside

in your kiss
I taste the orange blossom
that lent its pigments
to sunlight
before it reached me

Laundry Overwhelm
Everything is emptied
onto the bed.
A festering sandcastle.

#Poetry
#PoetrySky

An AI-generated, oil-painting-style illustration of a cozy bedroom filled with laundry. Two piles of tightly packed clothing sit on a bed, shaped like sandcastles made from overturned laundry baskets. A white laundry basket lies tipped on its side nearby, with loose clothing scattered across the bed and floor.
Warm sunlight, soft lighting, and earthy colors create a peaceful atmosphere that contrasts with the overwhelming mess.
The image represents ADHD-related task paralysis, where a simple chore becomes an overwhelming responsibility, creating a “festering sandcastle” of unfinished laundry.

The Sacrifice
#poetry
#poetrysky
@newyorker.com

In a thicket in the wood
Lay my peace
Vale shrouded in the darkest night
I trudged through frozen snow
Mud caked my boots
Until I was cut quick to the bone
But the song leads me on
The purpose of home
I picture in my heart
A sunlit valley
No longer tainted
By the blood soaked into the shaken roots
The militiamen lock their sights on me
Cruelty in their hearts
Malice in their eyes
They guard the pathway back
I press on
The forest is swift,
Earth's vengeance is timeless and true
And my home lies there
Just past the dark thicketed wood
The light beckons my heart
I cannot let darkness win
We must light little candles in our heart
To guide our way
Without the tinder
How can we kindle
What little agape remains
From our purloined breadcrumbs
The soldiers have hearts of stone
Yet I know these woods, I know these roads
They will not take my home from me
It lays right there,
You see?
In the sunlight,
Just past the thicketed wood.
And I would die to see it.
Wouldn't you?

Autumn falls in me,
as the colours turn from green to gold, your lies and deceit exposed in the cold.
Winter approaches, tongue tied and twisted.
No longer yours, no longer submissive.
