Truth

holding fragile truth in cracks of my hands fearing dissipation of cherished fragrances shedding of petals which adorn life   petals which perish but blossom again in new colors, shapes define sensibilities give new dimensions to senses in a post-truth era and fix all fixers https://dversepoets.com/2020/05/18/quadrille-104-oh-were-in-a-fix/ https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2020/05/19/photo-challenge-316/ https://amanpan.com/2020/05/18/eugis-weekly-prompt-cherish-may-18-2020/

Liberating

It seems silly to rolling on grass taste winds inhale skies get lost in the universe out of traps I dwelt in   it feels good it’s liberating to stand close to touch another no rules ro intervene   Nirvana This is it This is it…. https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2020/05/05/photo-challenge-314/ https://dversepoets.com/2020/05/04/lighten-up-a-bit/

Nowhere near

we pride ourselves on intellect, gross domestic product, nuclear power, global recognition   yet we fear being overtaken -build our defences in trade barriers, arms and ammunition     flushing out toxicity and causes thereof is the biggest challenge we face - but are  nowhere near a solution https://dversepoets.com/2020/04/20/quadrille-102/

Mobs

people on a sacrosanct mission following propagating the leader’s rules quashing disagreement   getting into malleable frames easy to manipulate easy to be directed on preordained paths not knowing whose interest it serves but fired up… nevertheless   magic of Opium never ceases to surprise me https://dversepoets.com/2020/03/23/quadrille-100-abracadabra-wheres-my-magic-wand/

Stirring Minds

a mind stir propels awakens the dormant catalyses action creates forward motion yet scares …   when I know not what lies within what monsters I awaken or goodness I invoke   I’d rather show new paths to follow be better than one has ever been https://dversepoets.com/2020/03/09/quadrille-99-poems-stirred-not-shaken/

QR Code

codes generated to conceal to protect identity and motives resist peeling   garbage peels do not aid a journey to reach the core it needs skills to find concealed but relevant routes   I’m astounded by the likeness between spiritual journeys and reading a QR code https://dversepoets.com/2020/02/24/quadrille-98-peelings-nothing-more/

Internal

I smiled uttered right sounds gained acceptance popularity made my family proud I felt loved… Facing the mirror I saw deep lines of dissatisfaction etched by time I was changing I felt worthless… I screamed silently filled with angst exploded in bits and pieces... https://dversepoets.com/2020/02/10/quadrille-97-filling-the-page/

Wild – Who, what, when?

going wild changed meaning from grabbing all the chocolates to rebellious adolescence to unconventional youth to wistfulness of adulthood   I wonder why I only wish to go wild now what stops me from doing it? fear of wilderness, weak will, or fear of repercussions?       https://dversepoets.com/2020/01/27/quadrille-96-wild-monday/

Turbulence

Waves roar on the seashore drowning the noise inside me, filtering core essence of thoughts, letting me know futility of indulgence in contemplation of transient influences, but compel me to think about life at the bottom of oceans, and its impact on turbulent waves https://dversepoets.com/2020/01/13/quadrille-94-roaring-in-the-new/

Celebs

faces brighten smiles widen camera bulbs flash when she passes through…. unmistakable aura addictive charm perspiration on the brow look beneath the layers see a fading glow living up to expectations takes its toll celebrityhood is a trap but she is on a roll… https://dversepoets.com/2019/12/16/theres-a-shine-to-the-season/
