A bridge to find a new world to explore

Not one just outside my front door

Some place far away, a simpler kind

Nothing to carry, a load off my mind

A bridge, to the warm heart of a land

To a country where there are no demands

Across the equator, and southern plain

Friendly people walking down the lane

In Africa, Malawi, holds these treasures

Landlocked, the lake so pure, a pleasure

Muli bwanji, is the way to say hello

Always extend a greeting, as you go

Happy people, grace this humble place

And surely bring a smile, to a hardened face

It was only a matter of time
And everyone watching knew

No matter how hard he tried
Sam was always dropping Lou

It became a daily occurrence
People drove for miles to see

If Lou would finally realize
Sam was doing it purposely

He got a kick out of watching
A warped sense of humor, the nut

Ladies walking by, would scowl
At poor Lou, sitting there, on his butt

Always vowing to seek revenge
Sam knew it would never happen

Foibles and follies, it’s who they were
Left the folks laughin’ and clappin’

There will come a time, when

I venture outside these walls

This place I call my sanctuary

Where only I can hide away

And no one knows why

I am feeling low, except me

The urge is always there

But remains depleted

And I am empty in this shell

Locked away, in a cocoon

Like a caterpillar, trying

To break free, to fly away

Like a butterfly, in the breeze

Perhaps one day, I will go

Journey out into the unknown

Spread my wings, take flight

But for now, I will remain

Tucked away, safely

In my own little world

 

March Writing Prompts – Unreplenished urges – Day 31/31 – Wow, another month in the books. This one flew by much too quickly! On to April!!

Beauty Dwells

Beneath the Whispering

Of Willows Weeping

Guarded

By the Mighty Sword

Embraced by Excalibur

Magical Waters behold

Pure Mystical Powers

A Winsomeness Alluring

She Emerges from the Depths

Suffocated in Sinopia – #poetry – #MarchWriting

The years haven’t been too kind
After hanging around for so long
I thought, I was feeble in mind
And losing my will to be strong

I was tugged on and hung from
Heights I was afraid to climb
I could even hear my heart thrum
Alas, I was running out of time

Left here, so many years ago
Forgotten times, I can’t complain
Can you, please, help me, though?
I’m a bit insecure, when in the rain

Day after day, it’s always the same
A life, once fulfilled, is now dystopia
But who exactly should I blame
For my being suffocated in sinopia
