Gunshot, Then Rain

Pitter patter

Heart does double Dutch

Breathing faster

The lethal touch

Pitter patter

Ground seems quaking

Pulling trigger

Soul awakening

Pitter patter

The shock a farewell

He made a ghoul

Out of matter

Pitter patter

Rain wets smoke

A pitter, a patter

Too late to revoke

~ Cotton Candy

Hey, friends...

I've been busy as of late with lifey things.

All of the writing I do right now has to contribute to my portfolio or be entered into publishing contests. So, I haven't been posting on Prose. I'll be back - but my writing is focused elsewhere right now.

You all are magical!!

Stay safe and healthy, friends :D

They so oft twist

My reality

Explain an emotion
Recently I have been having trouble once again understanding emotions. I don't mind what you write, just try and explain an emotion in any way to me. It would be much appreciated. Feel free to try again as many times as you like, I do enjoy reading.

Your Name, Darling

I keep a notebook by my bed

For the thoughts that fill my head

When I’m losing sleep

These thoughts of me

I woke one morning to behold

Quick scribbled, a confession

One word written:

Your name, again, again

Now, as sad stuffs reminisce

I still taste your toothy grins

And consider when

You drew us holding hands

Tomorrow, I hope to think

A softer song to sing for sleep

Not your sleepy name

“Come home, Darling.”

It’s All You

“Weak.”

Or so you think

Please

Are you alone?

Darling, it takes great strength

To do what you have done

Tell, who was it

That rubbed your sleepy eyes

Then tumbled from the bed?

Tell, who told you

Pick that body once more

From off the shower floor?

Tell, what power

Forced you light the stove

To cook breakfast for yourself?

Little steps

With

Big power

See

You’re getting stronger

Please

It’s all you

~Cotton Candy~

Prose Posts vs Comments

My posts:

Your love exposes hate

All values show the base

Safety, then fears

All are as mirrors.

Sleepyhead

My darling sleepyhead

In the mornings when

I’m a mess

Drowsy eyes see frowns

Kiss me with your smile

Upside down

Drool face, love lots

Sleepyhead sings songs of

Tired thoughts

“Sleep’s for the weak ones.

“Sugar for my sweet love.”

She lyriced

Cry baby, eyes closed

While I’m alive, incandesce

You’re dead

Whisper your dreams

I am the ears to hear

Your everything

My darling sleepyhead

Forever we’ll be

Life, Zombie

~Cotton Candy~

Dead Roses

“Romance me!” She cried.

“I can’t,” he replied, “Rosie, you just haven’t been the same since you died.”

~Cotton Candy

Oh, walk with me yet

Kiss my scars, and

We’ll never forget

WHY AM I NOT WHAT I AM?

I am

A living shadow

Shadow of myself

“Look on

The brighter side!”

“...I don’t wanna die.

The sun

It will kill me, so

Hide in heart’s mellow.”

WHY AM I NOT WHAT I AM?

I am

An artful cast clay

Vase, a pain bouquet

Good, yes

But nothing like the

Artist who sculpted me

Fragile

Cr Ac K myself to bits

Goodbye, will to live

WHY AM I NOT WHAT I AM?

This, I

A human being

Pro slinger trebuchet

Throw stuff

“Have my opinions.”

Though sometimes livid

Yet I

Will never be big

As the words I say

WHY AM I NOT WHAT I AM?

Look, there

See self reflected

Reflection on reflection

So many

Selves, I am many

The many of myself

My eyes

Ever searching for(ever)

That original

WHY AM I NOT WHAT I AM?

I am

A simple parcel

Of what I aspire

Hopes, hopes

Through wishes and dreams

Nightmares, presently

Myself

Too often found to be

My own worst enemy

WHY AM I NOT WHAT I AM?

~Cotton Candy
