First Line Friday

Below them, the dark streets beckoned with crimson light   Scarlet desires ignoring dark exploitation for a brief moment before the stars stop twinkling and hope disappears into oblivion.   Vultures swoop to nibble on dead meat their dreams buried in purple netherlands where flashes of desire intoxicated power descend to the depth of spent … Continue reading First Line Friday

Aftermath

I stand in a whirlpool awestruck, moonstruck feet encircled by storms virgin sand beneath wriggles away   the deflowered shore washed by receding tides flaunts scattered, ragtag remains of a fleeting romance   wild waves, uncontrolled disintegrate midway reflect weeping stars aftermath of wanderlust   https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2017/11/18/weekend-writing-prompt-29-random/

Objectivity

Life moves at a speed unknown with unease open to different interpretations subjectivity   Time moves appears to move with the clock steadily sees us pass through calendars equanimity   Minds move analysing capturing scattered bits and reconstituting objectivity   Shadorma November Day 14

I Wish

Who carried us thru’ … Continue reading Mystery

Erasure Poem – Labyrinths

Concentric Paths

concentric movement pain exacerbated unconnected paths distinct, but fated   fantasies of a coil oneness unabated just distant dreams lonely and unmated   jump across boundaries lines which are gated open doors of the soul accept blessings belated   Weekend Writing Prompt by Sammi Cox

Unprecedented

uneven was the terrain and the battle skewed in favor of enemies from onset of conflict   exhausted soldiers with infirm captains surprised all, with miracles of guerilla war   there were no options but to win or die they chose life the unprecedented happened.   Saturday Mix at MLMM

Circular journeys

A dream cut short left an ache end of a nightmare brought relief.   It is the journey that matters not the beginning or end.   A shortcut I choose accelerates speed but deprives me of pleasure and pain   It is experience that matters not the goals I achieve   The final destination marks … Continue reading Circular journeys
