Cluttered, empty spaces, found, but left unkempt

Emotion thrown, strewn about, in moral contempt

Answers, unquestioned, doubt exuded, within

Why on Earth am I? And where shall I begin?

To put the broken pieces, puzzled, back together

No help, those, who only dwell in fairest weather

White clouds follow, over me, pours down the rain

Why is it, no matter what, praise becomes disdain?

Received, but never sent, animosity finds its space

However small, to penetrate, a sacred inner place

To smash the dreams, so broken, and overrun

Now I see where I am. And why I have begun.

Haphazardly strung

A twisted barb penetrates

Unraveling threads

Inside, the core of despair

Tis humanity’s weakness

Friday Fantasy ~ Wizards and Wormholes – #poetry #AugustWriting

Let me lead you on a wild escape

Watch the circles turn, and whorl

A wormhole, if you will, my friend

I’ll let the magic fly, unfurl

Where once you stood here with me

Now find yourself far gone

I dare not follow you, oh no

I’ll not take the chance upon

The powerful swirls of light

That reflect in every direction

Chances are, you’re lost for good

So sorry, twas my misdirection

Goodbye, dear one, I’ll see you

Perchance, in another place

Till then, do watch the circles turn

Then disappear, without a trace

Icy Morn – #Poetry #AugustWriting

Water, frozen, in morning’s air

Place’s itself most everywhere

Lingers, while it congregates

Stops, and thinks and contemplates

Of where the next could possibly land

Perhaps I’ll catch it in my hand

So as not to let it hit the ground

No, I won’t let it fall earthbound

I’ll place it back, onto the branch

And watch, as another takes the chance

Then sigh, as each new one appears

Raindrops, winter’s icy tears

Tinged with scarlet dust

A fiery sun bleeds red

Darkened clouds reflect
