Carpet burns
Adorned her knees
It was the only way
She could appease
And what do you think
She was doing down there?
Searching under the bed
For his dirty underwear!

Writing prompt: Carpet burns adorned her knees
truth
Shifting tides
Swirling sands
And shifting tides
Dispelling the grains
Of ordinary matter
No real answers
As the waves flux
Just more questions
While time escapes

A clump of bitter thoughts
A clump of bitter thoughts
Courses through my mind
If only I could strangle my emotions
And leave the world behind
But my rage is in full bloom
Bursting with savage, ugly truths
And if it wasn’t so damn hot
I’d shout my anguish from the roofs
And there’s also a pile of ash
Circling round my head
I can never seem to catch it
And it’s something that I dread
So adding to my frustration
I’m dealing with all of that too
And I wonder how does one cross-over
When they can never see their way thru

Take these dreams…
Take these dreams
Which once were mine
And fashion them with
A new design
Turn them into something
Believable and strong
So that I might finally
Move along
I’m so tired of wishing
For things that can’t be
Open up my eyes
And help me see
A dose of reality
Is what I need
If ever I hope
To succeed

Dissolving thoughts
A thought
An ember
Long gone
Before I remember
A memory
A curse
Inside my head
It only gets worse
A fantasy
A desire
Images racing
About to expire
An epiphany
The truth
Those memories
Weren’t waterproof
