Nothing more
Deep in the winter of my
Story telling time
Words fall like snow and drift
Against my door
And I bank the fires of warm
Sweet rhyme
The poetry of needing nothing

The cleft between the days
I see you standing there so still
The silence wraps you like a chill
Reach out your hand and touch the sun
And melt away the things you've done
I see you standing there so pale
The blood is drained, the cross is nailed
Reach out your hand and take the fire
And lay it to the funeral pyre
Now could it be that we've reversed
The play so carefully rehearsed
There is a time for every season
But curtains fall without a reason
We are beset...besieged...bereft
Living life within the cleft
Between the days both lived and planned
We watchers of the falling sand
I see you standing there so cold
To think of all your heart's been sold
Reach out your hand and touch the son
And melt away the things you've done

I brush past the softness of
Your eyes
Breaking through the brittle air my seasons
Bring
Your smile greets me like
The spring
And I forget the weight of leaden
Skies
And all that winter gave away to
Ice
To win this place within your warmth was more than worth the
Price

Trying to be different
I became
Just like everyone else

Fog
The fog rolls in on a wish
To make the world unfocused
And instilled
With other lives we brush against
Pursuing wishes
Unfulfilled
Somewhere behind the mask we wear
Our true identity
Is killed
While the fog rolls in becoming frost
Until every heart
Is chilled

Happiness
Happiness is not a product that you can order online
It is not available for next day delivery
You must make it yourself
At home

In a forest of clouds, of foam, and of silver
we live, caressing lands under our feet.
And we are wielding the might of a dark scepter
to earn oblivion

I am mocked by windows
framing half remembered promises I made once to a younger me
They tell me sunrise sunset stories
Suspended in a wall that has no room
for
doors

The days of dwindling down
What came of all the ruined rest
And building cages for the wind
Or laying bare the fragile breast
To faithless lover, fickle friend?
What moment came of calming quiet
The tearless eye of passion's storm
To call a truce amid the riot
And let the hope of heaven form?
What gold to show for labor's loss
The years of stoking fortune's fire
That leaves me sifting through the dross
And ashes of my heart's desire?
Let me feel the weight of what I've won
To wrap my weary arms around
And cherish something that I've done
In these days of dwindling down
Where is the destination dreamed
The harbor that I meant to find?
Somewhere beyond the plots I've schemed
And compromises that I've signed
Where the days looked forward to
That bittersweet receding prize?
Those bastard sons of things to do
And self inflicted lies
Where gone the miles never measured
That passed away beneath my feet?
The price of all the trinkets treasured
More than any life could meet
So weigh me down with what I've won
And let me rest here on the ground
To cherish little things I've done
As the days go dwindling down

Oh, so you're asking why I broke the mirror again?
Yes, I'm aware it was the last one in the house.
Listen. Mirrors shows something called a 'reflection'
Don't be fooled, in truth, it's just an inverted illusion.
And once, long before I met you, I had a reflection...
A personality. Hopes and dreams. An ambition.
Now my soul is lost. You drained the life out of me.
So there's no reflection for the eye to see.
Yes, I'm angry. But I'm dying now, don't you see?
Jagged pieces of glass painted as a crimson filigree
So that's it for me, I think. Adieu.
I won't be needing that mirror anymore.

The "what if"s
The "could have"s

In a strange universe

we trust we will take the next one
Trust is in every step
we trust we will put one foot in front of the other
Trust is in every slumber
we trust we will wake to a new dawn
Trust is in every heartbeat
we trust our blood will keep pumping
Trust is in every thought
we trust we will continue to think.
The ultimate trust
is that we trust OURselves
and that we tust IN ourselves
only then can we place OUR trust IN others

The ocean as lonely as time
the waves rise and fall
to the beat of the moon
they make acquaintances
with the sun and the stars
before surrendering
to the depths of blue
their final resting place

Leap of Love
Together we stood
on the edge of the world
staring into
the great unknown
nervousness and excitement
crackling like electricity
in the atmosphere
around us
certainty co-existing
with the uncertainty
we each felt
in having to take
such a monumental
leap of faith
a freefall
without the parachutes
to prevent our hearts
from plummeting
to the rocky bottom.
You looked at me
with a quick nod
of your head
as if to say
I will if you will
to which I responded
by gripping your hand
ever tighter
and biting my bottom lip
until I tasted the salt
of my blood
and felt the sting
of my tears
jolting me back
to that suspended moment
in time and space.
Okay - I shouted boldly
on the count of three -
One!
Two!
Three!
.
.
.
.
.
And together we jumped
headfirst and fearless
into the vast chasm
of falling in love.

The days turn to years in the blink of a half opened eye, a moment in time slips away until we decide to visit it in the guise of a memory.
They don't know how to shield it, this unending stasis where all days are the same. But I remember the touch of your hand; the haunted darkness in your voice as you laughed and called me by my name.

This isn't for the #/wod prompt. But, I had it saved in drafts, and didn't know what to do with it, and now seemed as good as any time to put it out there ��

There's this one bright apple green patch
From where the price tag was torn
Everything else is a grayish green, faded
And the soles are quite worn
I only found your slippers yesterday
Lying in a corner behind the bedroom door
Motes of dust kissing the cobwebs gently Darling, the pair look so forlorn
Won't you come back, dearest?
Sweetheart, won't you come home?
Both your slippers and I miss you
We're all empty, now that you're gone
I'm jealous. Those slippers have each other.
But, my love, I'm all alone.

D1, seat 75
30th January, 2021.
And if it isn't the city that teaches you about love,
About holding some, letting some go,
Then is it your city at all?
If it isn't the friend that you look at, panting,
your train barely caught,
Then is it your friend at all?
And if it didn't hurt,
If it didn't render you speech deprived,
If it didn't squeeze your heart till gold burst through your smile,
Were you ever in love at all?

My heart feels heavy, I can't see the light
Thoughts are shackled in chains too tight
The ink well has dried up over the night
Sight of naked parchment brings no delight
A precocious idea, perched at precarious height
Shivers in acute excitement, chasm in sight
Seeking its freedom, through the words I write
It tumbles down, wings spread in ecstatic flight
Deprived of happy endings, euphoria is slight
For this is the kind of leap with no landing site
A thousand stories, poems… hopes held tight
Shattered in my numb fingers. A painful plight.
Why are they condemned to never see daylight?
These doomed verses that I strive to write
They are unwanted. Forgotten. Far from sight.
Which makes me wonder, am I lost tonight?

Fly Trap
Hands, trembling, failing,
Betraying...
Resigned to obey the will
Of human affliction.
While words, like flies,
Flit about in a frenzy of
Turmoil, determined
To escape this catastrophic
Fate.
A poet's pen is a nervous thing
When left in the grips of time.
