I hold the weight
Of expectations
On my chest
Heavy with the
Gravity
Of all that I hoped
Could be
My mouth is shuttered
Against
Prolonged
Questions
For I no longer know
Why I feel
Breathe
And wish for
Things to be
different

I break my fast at dawn
To arrive to a plane
Chilly crisp
Kisses meet my heart
In this frigid air
I walk along
The dry ground
Angels left
Three months ago
Now the tattered days
Of life gone by
Sit on the earthen floor
I warm my hands
By the evening fire
Waiting for treetops
To spring to new life
As the stars light
My night
I realize I am not alone.

Humming winds willfully
Remind me
That I missed the train
Forgot the date
And didn’t arrive on time
Those memories of our moments
Showed me
That I remembered the pain
left too late
And couldn’t call you mine
.
Lift the foggy curse of the past
From my eyes
So that I may be early
to my next
love
I am finding new prompts to inspire me! Today I used the prompt “late” by Paul Light of Light Motifs. If you are interested in learning more about the inspiration and background of my work, check out my kofi page.

smooth and simple

of my heart,
for the strength
in your arms
never ceases to send
anger away
reviving a romance
that always was.
I have been trying to challenge myself with different prompts! I found Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt and though I should join! This was a fun challenge to edit my prose into 33 words. At first I was sad to edit the original piece down, but I think it actually increaded the strength of the words chosen!

Happy Writing!
Your breath hits my shoulder
I turn back to see
you fade into the shadows
hidden from me
For when will you visit,
my fairy, my sprite?
You changed me
made me
and then you fell
into the night.
