• The Blue Girl *

    As sole survivor in this zone, I walk up to the tanks alone,
    To estimate the bodies lost, extrapolate the human cost,
    Of nuclear warfare on the few, who live here in the fluid blue.
    The sludge inside the first urn stinks, of rotting flesh, violets and pinks,
    I wonder if, suspended here, this poor boy used to dream or…Read More

      than currently in possession”

      I have been feeling this a lot lately.

      • I think it goes back to the weight of the world these days. It takes so much energy to just survive…not a lot pouring into our cups. Thank you, Fia 😊

    • Feels like poetic intermission… a mist of words floating about
      I like the mood this invokes

      • Life is…a lot…these days. Intermission would be great, but who’s got the time? Thank you, Naaj 😊

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Excellent write that I can definitely relate to my friend. Inspiration is sometimes a bit of a process indeed. Chasing thoughts and having them slip away can be so frustrating. The life of a writer is kinda quirky when you think about it. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.

      • The more we have on our the mind, the more jumbled it is up there. So polluted the words can’t find the exit. So they float around like wraiths on a stormy night. I’ll get my rhythm again. Just need a breather. Thank you, my friend 😊

    takes more ink…
    than currently in possession
    let words refill the bottle
    while energy supply refreshens

    I get so lost sometimes
    watching as the world burns,
    as centuries of Culture and
    Heritage, human lives, are destroyed
    for no reason other than who
    will be number one among
    the billions.

    Our world burns,
    it cries for our help, our decision
    to act and honor what remains
    of humanity’s decency, to cast
    out the i…Read More

    The Key

    The key When did you get the key to my door It’s been locked for so long I remember when I put the bolt and nail it to the floor Fear and hurt infused the metal like a song   You inserted a key Turned it...
