naked shame.

vulnerable.

scared.

broken.

I am what I am ...

Lifelines

The lifelines

on a child's palm

never tell of the tears,

battle cries, quiet romances,

and shattered pieces of heart he clutches

until the day the lines cover his face.

Rock Candy Crush

Straight to the sky

Narrow went to hide

White horse racing

Heart outpaces

Floating a champagne high

Glitter fades fast

Bliss

Crash

Aftermath

Echo that

Ok, This may sound a little silly, but give it a try. I was prompted to do this because of trying it myself at different times of the day and seeing different things, and then trying to figure out, how would I describe that to someone. So here it is...Close your eyes and describe what you see. Lets elaborate and see if we can use at least 50 words....try not to use your imagination...just vivid description of what you see. Try a dark room, or outside/different times, then give it a go! tag me

Eternity’s cell

I see a void. An abyss of clear black. Sleek in its knowing of all while being nothing, et al. Time has stopped, stretched, and curled up like a summer cat. Not Sandberg but quicksands of time pouring into the void where even sound is desperate to be heard. Out here there is no chance of loss or being lost, as we are no where. Not we, me. Not me, I...am.

Double-edged

Day pours into day making her cup run over, each passing second a fresh crack in the bottom. Dripping away, there's never enough time to finish this and still get that, she thinks to herself, but she knows her dream will be smoldering behind her eyes when she closes them for bed in a few hours...and just a few hours after that she'll crack them open again in time to watch her possibilities dance away with the darkness. After all, nightmares and fires are made of the moments before reaching ones true desires.
