Any thought that passes through you is good enough,as long as you can express it in one sentence.The sentence can be two words or as long as you can stretch it. It’s perfectly okay if it looks like a paragraph or stanza.

Midnight, unable to sleep, my mind is flooded with ideas for writing the perfect blog post, ideas that seem unique and perfect at that time of the night as I open my eyes and hastily write a note on my phone lest that I don’t remember my ideal idea in the morning but…… when I get up in the morning after a few hours of sleep, and eagerly look up my note what do I find there? I can’t remember what was it all about!!!!!

Waiting for work to yield results until one fine day, he is worked up- dismay, despair, deluge

Wait/ work/ worked-up/ wait/ work/ worked-up ? Phew!!

wistful September
darkness and light harmonize
Equinox is here

At year’s end, dusks and dawns flaunt lilac bliss
Hearts flutter in periwinkle dreams
The Purple haze descends on all
Our fortunes come full circle
Portends of the Seer-
Must we heed, or fear;
Cards that read dreams
Runestone dooms
Lost truths
Fate

Purple horizons
when birds flock rift valley lakes
Far-winter’s blessings

Forget not the many hues of each colour
Wondrous scintillating deceptions
Where mystery inflames beauty
And fantasy spoons reality
When the Purple haze has you
Smitten by its amethyst sheen
Blinded to its heliotrope tinge
A wistful time indeed
A time of comeupens
When the end is in sight
and watchful things stalk your every step.

the circle of life
where mine is not truly mine
yet comes back around
one’s curse, another’s blessing
equal darkness, equal…

I lost a lover along the way
Reveals deep pain
But transformation, a new ray

A broken flower likes to hang but does not fall
You said,’you hurt me too much,enough Jane’
I lost a lover along the way

Rechargethe system, I love it all
A broken heart stands again
But transformation, a new ray

Love has taken its toll
Brain runs like a metro train
I lost a lover along the way

A withered flower has to live till it falls
Life needs little rain
But transformation, a new ray

Respond to me before nightfall
Don’t like strain
I lost a lover along the way
But transformation, a new ray

Pray tell me what is my future?

Can I erase all my mistakes?

Learn the lesson try new challenge

And at the same time, no regrets

I’ll breathe fresh air from the mountains

Pray tell me what is my future?

Is my knight coming on his horse?

Our night in full moon and stars

An old fortune teller told me

I will travel and see places

Pray tell me what is my future?

Can I build something out of none?

I stand firm for what I believe

Until my last breath so it seems

Shall I have faith or accept fate?

Pray tell me what is my future?*

The poem below: MAPPED OUT was originally written & published back in April of this year for a special online “Written In The Stars” spoken word event I participated in for Poetry Day Ireland. But I thought it quite apt as a response to this particular picture prompt for Reena’s Xploration Challenge 246.

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #246

MAPPED OUT

Is it written in the stars?
Is our road mapped out ahead?
Can we travel there by cars?
On magic carpets or in our beds?

Can you read it in the cards?
Cryptically hidden in my star sign?
Does it predict life on Mars?
Will it reveal to me at what time?

It will all come together
Or is that in the hands of the gods?
Is there love or some treasure
At the end of it all?

Maybe you believe in fate?!
If it’s predestined to be?
Or do you…
