Unspoken words
Rubbed against pages
In our minds, caught
In a void of noise, reaching
Out of bounds, trying
To find the release
Of electrifying verse

It’s all rusted now
Torn and tattered
Years of neglect
I wish I could disavow
Thoughts too scattered
Lacking self-respect
I’ve walked a fine line
Unafraid to crossover
My time, so measured
Though forlorn, I am fine
With the promise of clover
And a life, truly treasured
Writing Prompt – Rusty Bearings – Day 8/31

Glistening across the lake
Like a million fireflies
A sparkle like no other
From the sun which passes by
Shimmering in the twilight
I stood and watched it dance
The last of the glorious sunshine
In the water, such romance
Just look at how it twinkles
Like stars that light the night
Imagine that you’re one of them
Effervescent, pure and bright

It was risky but there was this overwhelming desire to just do it. What if something went wrong? She was being silly. Nothing could go wrong. She made her way through the path, toward the ivy covered towers, and through to the castle doors. Pushing hard against them, she entered the chamber, cautiously looking about, hoping to find nothing or no one that would put a stop to her quest. As she turned again, there he stood. Her heart stopped, as a sinister sneer crept across his face. She encountered the one thing she never gave a second thought. Death.

She hides behind the fence posts
Where no one sees her there
Cloaked by wooden slats and nails
She stays hidden from the glare
Of hatred thrown about her
Lives taken, for mere display
She no longer wants to live
In a land that prays this way
Someday she’ll find the courage
To walk away from all this hate
But for now, she stays behind the fence
For now, she has to wait
