Untitled Sonnet

Toward the sky, shall I look up today?

To sail by wind, succeed by step action.

We see above the clouds a lighting grey;

In sail is strength and rig a skeleton

Who navigates a question, who and where

A channel marker a milestone, the same.

Adrift: off course, to port, to work, in fair

Afloat, traffic light up and flash your name

But cracked the seam of sunburned saltwater.

Captain goes down: the down is up in flip

Like head and tail two sides the room, quarter.

Filling the draining sea of land a slip

Out there a crimson horizon defrost

Our destination no longer is lost...

Velocity

Drive,

Headlights call,

Engine rumbles,

Inhaled exhaust,

Crank the music.

Wind rushes,

Open windows,

Dark roads,

Vast emptiness.

Breath,

Press the gas,

Acceleration,

Tight stomach,

Exhale.

Signs flash,

Memories flash,

Lights flash,

Life flash.

Empty tank,

Quiet station,

Lonely road home,

Parking brake,

Lights off.

Remnants,

Burnt rubber,

Tire marks,

Dried tears.

Will He Love Me?

Falling,

Why do we fall,

We trip,

We jump,

We close our eyes.

It is just a seemingly endless cycle,

Over and over,

This falling,

This feeling,

This hope to be caught.

Maybe this time he’ll catch me,

You think,

But you crash,

But you’re hurt,

But he turns away.

There is nobody to blame,

I’m falling again,

Will he catch me?

Will he see me?

Will he accept me?

Will he love me???

Re-Publish of “Gentle Devastation”

Hold my hand,

Pull me closer,

Whisper my name,

Don’t let me go.

Not true,

You aren’t mine,

Letting me fall,

Just for show.

You can’t be blamed,

It may be awkward,

I understand,

I know.

Love chooses who,

We do not,

We wish we could,

But we only follow.

I look to you with love,

You look back,

With vacant eyes,

Cold as snow.

You’re my everything,

I’m your nothing,

I won’t forget you,

You’ll forget me tomorrow.

Slowly you fade from me,

You try to leave,

But you’re stuck,

At least for now, so...

Please don’t push me,

Out the window.

(I know you want to...)

Safe with Death

Push and shove,

Down the stairs,

Woke up not here,

Far far away.

A whisper to me,

Husky and strong,

You're perfect,

So beautiful.

He sang to me,

Held me close,

Bandaged my head,

Said goodbye.

Told me,

It wasn't time,

But asked,

If I wanted to stay.

I said sorry,

I cannot,

So he sent me away,

Back here...

But before I left,

He told me,

He would wait,

Excited for my return.

I cannot ignore,

That I await my return,

To that voice,

The one that healed me.

Challenge

red? blue? alabaster? gold?... what is your favorite color, and why?

Grey or Gray?

The color is the combination of black and white. And when associated with a horse it means whitish. Grey/Gray.

Challenge

Write a true micro-poem ... see specific details ... this is a think-piece.

According to Wikipedia, the more recent popularity of "micro-poetry" to describe poems of 140 characters in length or shorter appears to stem from a separate coinage, as a portmanteau of "microblogging" and "poetry". Hence this is the challenge, counting spaces, commas, periods and letters. Write a micro-poem no longer than 140 characters. (This does not include the title). It should not be any longer than 30 words maximum (though I have allowed for two additional words if needed.) but it should fall within the range of no more than 140 characters. It can be on any topic/subject. (I will be counting and spaces count as a character). Don’t forget to tag me in the comment section … @Danceinsilence.

Assumption

They told me

That you didn't

Want my attention.

But why didn't, why couldn't

You tell me yourself?

By the way I only wanted to be friends...

Challenge

Here’s a fun challenge. Write an acrostic stanza. Six words per line, and five lines spelling out ‘SHARK’. That makes 30 words total. The topic of your acrostic stanza can be about anything you can write up, but it must be able to spell out the word ‘SHARK’. The following rhyme of your poem should also be AABBA. I’ll leave a few spaces for a few extra words for any hashtags you wish to include in your write.

Prompt says it all. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to message me and ask. Tag me too!

Question for You

Smoke wafts from your burning mouth,

Having fun without me no doubt,

A flame flickers at the end,

Remind me, am I your friend,

Knowing that it has gone south?

If Only

If I wasn't a scaredy cat.

If didn't overthink everything.

If I wasn't afraid to hurt my friends and family.

If being who I was supposed to be was not so important.

If, if, if...

If not for these I would be dead.

I'm sorry.

Please don't worry about me either.

I promise I will Stay Alive.
