A decision

unstable feet advance slowly, carefully on wet ground eyes perplexed by a difficult choice -rainbow reflections in puddles below present myriad possibilities on slippery ground A drizzle washes away saltiness on cheeks -sunrays wink from the blues I think I have reached a conclusion https://dversepoets.com/2022/02/21/quadrille-146-lets-get-salty/

Little Birdie

Quadrille at dVerse today by Mish birds on my window sill wait for clouds to clear they will then fly to nibble at the sky taste remnants of clouds and come back to peck at crumbs I offer…. I feel so honored, little birdie to be part of your infinity

Power Shift

thunderous skies emit signals wordlessly unimagined energy overtakes known reality spine of Universe shivers unbalancing patterns of assumed supremacy a power waiting…. to teach new methods of existence under water in the air, no mirrors -a sense of self suspended between Consciousness and Real https://dversepoets.com/2022/01/24/quadrille-144-shivering/

Negativity

Negativity - a muse-um of thoughts burden of fears from past experience riding our back -moments passed long ago buried in history -shadows live like ghosts walking amidst us pulling us back creating mistrust -muse over imperceptible layers bid them goodbye to Move ahead… https://dversepoets.com/2022/01/10/quadrille-143-muse-cues/

Impostor Syndrome

Will you recognise me without the crown? It’s the real me yet so unlike me emeralds of wisdom rubies of knowledge diamonds of trust which you gave me… I wander between gems blinded by lustre find myself in cracks burst out in full glory https://dversepoets.com/2021/11/29/quadrille-141-heady-is-the-poem-that-wears-the-crown/

Playgrounds

I fight for level playgrounds on shaky earth feet trembling with underground tremors They say the earthquake never happened… It’s pure insanity… finding balance with manacled limbs fighting for rights never granted… Fair play assumes equality But I don’t live in an equal world… https://dversepoets.com/2021/11/15/quadrille-140-lets-go-to-the-fair/

Change

Determination

ash-grey eyes match the charcoal dress make me visualise her rising like a Phoenix from wherever she’s dumped dreams embalmed in an egg now sprout wings fly across the sky on the same path as the Sun Determination beats both life and death https://dversepoets.com/2021/10/18/22981/

Pathways

Bare feet bruised by pebbles bloodless pain painless blood strewn on pathways -meaningless milestones -rocky obstructions -tiny stones puncture fast-moving wheels Each one has stories to tell describe their personal hell I just took too long to listen to write hurt in red https://dversepoets.com/2021/10/04/quadrille-137-throwing-poem-stones/

Hatred lingers on..

those fire-spewing eyes change expression linger a little longer  on her body she remembers lewdness of his crawling fingers on her sleeping helplessness she wants to slap him,  tear him to pieces he would be ashamed of The creep  Is her abusive husband https://dversepoets.com/2021/09/20/quadrille-136-lets-linger/
