Love, please
Last week, a few hours away from where I live, a white supremacist assaulted two teenage girls on a bus. Three men came to their aid. Two were killed by the hate filled (man). The third was severely injured. My heart aches that this is the world we live in, but I am proud that … Continue reading Love, please
Six Feet Under
shadows scorch my skin from pallid white of what had been now yellow ochre glistening against red ruby seeping teeth contaminate with venomous ash and time that has passed I carry their heavy chains clanking under the moon dressed to kill deity of doom screams buried under metal tainted with arsenic raw skin and bones … Continue reading Six Feet Under
Madhouse
Join the circus Perform for peanuts Don’t bother me with reality Dissociation is my comfort zone The place I like to call home Fashionable yet comfortable Life inside a cage Whipped into submission Clean out the cobwebs White-knuckle grip Frenetic disorganized disturbance A magician with a magic wand Monochromatic maniacal music One hit wonder drug … Continue reading Madhouse
Where Did You Go?
For me, Christine and Dom Where did you go? Little one With your smile as big as the sun When did running Change from game to survival When did hide and seek Become staying hidden You were always first in line Brave and limitless Shouting from the top of the pines Who hurt you? Little … Continue reading Where Did You Go?
Find Me
(A re-post because this feels right today) There is no quiet in the wicked night Where shadows are birthed Writhing through sleep shrouded eyes Rousing her into aphotic collection Impelled toward dark thorn forest Seizing her decrepit parody Limbs whip her pallid face A splatter of red Highlights her gaunt essence Believing hue can conceive … Continue reading Find Me
Dream Machine
Adapt Adjust Master manipulator Captain courageous Bodies hidden in the basement Self-effacement Faking a fairy tale Skipped out on bail Constant craving Lil red raven High school shit Cosplaying commitment What are you asking for anyway? Above the fray Tragic temptation Neanderthal nation Designed for safety Fake and flaky I have no problem making a … Continue reading Dream Machine
Modest Mouse
I went to a Modest Mouse concert last night with my husband and both of my kids. It was such fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMKn6XIvM2M
Belief
So long ago Details are blurred Most of the evening has been lost Flirted and drunk into dark recesses But for the piece of gold Placed gently in my hands “I want to go where ever you go” I thought you meant for one night But your mind was on forever Despite my heart of … Continue reading Belief
Moon Ate the Dark Challenge: 1WiseWoman/Despite Darkness
The amazing Christine of Brave and Reckless put out a submission request with the prompt, “Moon ate the dark” Here is my piece. Thank you Christine! The submissions have been so enjoyable to read… I encourage you to take a look at all that have been shared so far, lots of amazing writing!
Everywhere I look
There are people
Who don’t want to be here
Distracted by daily routines
Lost among the sheep
Devoured by darkness
Complacency kills
So many ways to leave the moment
Rabidly awaiting revered rapture
Golden light is coveted
The secret has already been discovered
And is standing right in front of you
Unable to get out of your own way
To see the light of day
If only the moon ate the dark
Take the weight of the world
Along with self responsibility
The consequences are dire
Lighting the world on fire
Never ending nebulous nightmares
Divining dreams disappear
In burning atmosphere
Illusion of inspirational illumination
Ignite a chain reaction
Blinded by the light
Stars explode
Eclipsing the sun
Sparks fly
Say goodbye
Be careful what you bid for
An empty night sky
An absence of stars to wish upon
Damnation disguised as devotion
Prayers are lost in expired heavens
