You’ve lit my wick
our bodies in rhyme
nerve endings tick
You’ve lit my wick
blending blue hues, bite and lick
glorious moments in time
You’ve lit my wick
our bodies in rhyme

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

Fistful of purple blues
Petals crushed, broken stalks
Like limbs knowing they’d lose
Despite all those long talks
Where words like too old seeds
Fell upon stony ground
Choked out by greedy weeds
And there without a sound
Without a backward look
You ghosted as you took

#sensewrds 279

Some relationships
under the reality of the daily grind
get weathered away.

A steady erosion
a drifting away
and no one doing the work of noticing.

prompt 279.
My mind comes apart at the edges, fragments floating softly away as time erodes all certainties. The delicacy of tiny flowers asserts life's love of itself. They endure where I cannot.

Prompt 279

Free from bone and breath
I watch my home being cleared
My life stripped away
Every remnant boxed and gone
Making room for someone new

#SenseWrds #Tanka

Moving in the wind
torn and ripped
lavender
under the trail of a storm
but we still remember those songs we sing
about the gentle gifts of nature

These games
the heart plays
tricks under the skin
the oracle says
'it will be magic
and you will know
when it comes !'
I trusted it
too many times
stargazing
of a love
that would save me
now I'm my own ghost
in a graveyard

#SenseWrds prompt 278

The colours are on display
I purge as they feed my eyes
when the summer comes hooray!!
The colours are on display
time to skip and play
bleached blue skies
The colours are on display
I purge as they feed my eyes

#SenseWrds
My dog-watch reveries of ancient tales—sagas of heroes, sages, witches, knights of valour and ladies ethereal—keep me hopeful in winter's darkest nights. Something to cling to in my hours of turbulent despair.
Prompt 278.

Tales of yore romp; imaginings of tomorrow, commingle. What is true; what is imagined? Does it matter? Holding any of the images as true, even for a moment is a gift. #SenseWrds 278 #writingprompts

Sky shooters, meteors, comets, so many distractions in the night sky an editor is needed to maintain the calm. #SenseWrds 277 #writingprompts

Sylvia Plath in my head
…
an illusion in my head
you, who I visit at night in bed
knowing the illusion, making you real
an illustrious past, castle in the air
that's what I need for us to be
so much more than a memory
created by me

Legends kept
in a visionary's head
holding on to the past and future
watching as the world unfolds
convincing all he is the one
who will lead them down a hallowed path

Prompt 278

Storied
Dreamer
Believing

#SenseWrds ,

A paragon in the midst of battle
An angel from a fairytale
Dancing memories of forgotten legends
And faith in eternal light

A muse that beckons awake
The imagination of hope
A reminder for a moment
Of a glorious tragedy

Words written in sand
The hourglass fades
Awakening
The dawn

#SenseWrds 278

let us not
get caught up
in fables

there are no rules
about how this should go

you are here.
and there is your lips
and mine

kiss me
so that I may
be in the moment
as I imagine the next one

perfect the movement
of my hands
your body
their teacher

take me
turn my faith
to religion
#SenseWrds 278

Artist types
Your black shirts
Starry eyes
Certain of visions
And the voices of destiny
You hope to be
Famous among your own kind
Your name whispered
Like a lucky charm
Hoping they don't see
bruises behind facepaint
Make your masterpiece bright
Shield sword armor
Red as your heart

#sensewrds 278

A favorite old song
Under our old night sky
We could do it all over again
