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

 

August Writing Prompt – Wizards and Wormholes – Day 31/31 – This officially marks one full year of Michelle’s writing prompts. She has challenged me every step of the way and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you, ~M! Love you, my friend  ❤

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

Autumn’s Frost – #poetry #AugustWriting

Summer warmth has quickly passed
Shadows cover the afternoon
Flora begins to curl in the light
With autumn’s approach, I quietly swoon

As morning dew, with a frosty breath
Blankets each petal with rime
Her sign, of seasons changing
As the moon begins to climb

I watch the days grow darker
Ah, tis when I release my passion
For falling leaves, and autumn’s chill
To which my heart, I fashion

Ivory Luster – #poetry #AugustWriting

An aura surrounds her delicate face

She is the picture, of elegant grace

As sunbeams bathe her, in their light

With an ivory luster, she beams, so bright

She is caught in her own, faraway thoughts

Nothing reveals her feelings, so fraught

Resolved, she has chosen the obvious path

To live in this life, whatever the aftermath
