Haphazardly strung
A twisted barb penetrates
Unraveling threads
Inside, the core of despair
Tis humanity’s weakness
August Writing Prompts – Unraveled steel threads

Antiseptic, the smell of death
Lingering, acrid fumes invade
Thoughts, no longer the calm
Of a life, no longer vibrant
Bells, alarms, invading silence
Nighttime falls, eternal sleep
The room, stifling with stale air
Yet, a subtle breeze blows
As curtains hang, world-weary
Watching a soul fly, into the light….
Author’s note: This poem came to me while I was in the hospital twice over the weekend. I hope I don’t return anytime soon…

I know not where it is, I should turn
As thoughts inside, begin to churn
An acid, meant to truly burn
A helpless moment, of which I yearn
*
To cast away, the thoughtless words
From a hateful voice, it’s so absurd
To know that I’m not really heard
My patience, buried, now interred
*
Into hopelessness, I need to fight
To end this horrid, dreadful plight
That I endure, both day and night
For where there seems, no end in sight

Hello friends!
A big thank you for all the wonderful messages you’ve left for mom. She’s resting comfortably in a nursing facility. I’m very happy with the care she is getting and this eases my mind a bit. I’ll still be on hiatus but will pop a poem occasionally. I hope you’re all well and writing or clicking or whatever!! 🙂
❤

Feel my warmth against your skin
A fire simmers from deep within
A heart, surrenders, to a touch
Lips against lips, in a silent hush
Two body’s crash in a single burn
Flesh upon flesh in a single turn
Feelings that can no longer hide
Release this yearning ache inside
Passionate cravings, fuel for the fire
Two become one in heated desire
