#Camouflage|d in this human body, I #bimble through my days. #Beam|s of sunlight warm my heart, infusing the #crevice|s, love the #incantation. And slowly, very slowly, joy #sneak|s back in.

The #last rays of the sun shone through the #crevice making the light dance on the surface of a puddle.

She loved these moments of beauty showing up like a miracle in places where you'd least expect them.

With another deep breath she braced herself for the storm to come.

Approaching the headwall he saw the feature which gave this hike its name: the entrance to a massive crack in the stone.

Entering the #crevice he saw a band of blue sky above, a rill of water trickling past his feet below.

This place was its own world, of cool water and moss and granite. He watched as a dragonfly flitted past. “Hello!” he shouted, listening to his voice echo off the sheer walls.

“Hello!” a voice answered back. A voice not his own.

Fell in a crevice
between awake and asleep
got a reset day

#MastoPrompt #crevice #SmallPoems

We couldn't think from where the spiders
came to dusty-web us. Ignored the #crevice
as too small, too slight, unthreatening.
We worked around, across, while it grew wider,

weather worn, time worn, it soon amassed
a gloomy depth. Our reach became too little
to bridge it. We lost our shared centre,
lost sight of who we were across that crevasse.

Thanks @tanweerdar

(Apologies, I couldn't resist the wordplay.)

Making change is like
weeds growing on a sidewalk:
find a crack, grow.

#MastoPrompt #crevice #smallpoems #haiku

the in-between places
are like crevices,
cracks, fissures.
confined and wide-mouthed
perilous pathways,
where I abandon my defences.

but you say:
"dance with mountains
into the cracks". and
"the cracks between
are also a God":
notice the extraordinariness.

i don't know much
about what you mean.
but yes, i will go with you
to dance into the cracks.
discovering wisdom in their rhythm
and depths in their darkness.

(with thanks to Dr Bayo Akomolafe whose words are quoted in this poem)

#MastoPrompt #crevice #SmallPoems

One beam of light
A break in the expanse
A chink in the armour
Showing the way in
A map with an arrow
Pointing to my darkest
Weaknesses
My flaws, my breaks
Hiding in the crevices
Out of sight

Image is a colour photograph. The entire photo is mountain cliff with one gap in the middle that lets in the light. A figure is standing in the gap

In a crevice of my heart,
Where the light can never reach,
Lies a sadness that I can't impart,
A melancholy that I can't beseech.

I try to hide it, I try to run,
But it follows me wherever I go,
It's a burden that weighs a ton,
A sorrow that I cannot show.

The crevice in my mind,
A place of endless night,
Where all my hopes and dreams,
Are lost without a fight.

Goodness knows I've tried, but the constant effort that is never reciprocated or appreciated is really exhausting. But I couldn't give up on him.

I wouldn't

All we seemed to do is quarrel and it only took the slightest thing to set him off. I felt like I was walking on eggshells, unsure what mood I would be confronted with, the slightest look triggering an outburst that was often vitriolic and soul destroying.

I knew something wasn't right, my instincts were usually quite intuitive. Every time I peeked into the crevice, all I could see was someone cowering in the shadows. His Dad was long gone, a deadbeat who'd left his mother and had zero interest in being involved in his life.

I stepped into that role, after I fell in love with his mother and I vowed that I would be his biggest ally, no matter the emotional toll that it would take on me. I tried to shelter his mum, protect her as she'd had a tumultuous life and deserved to be loved and cared for. But she was broken, barely keeping it together.

He'd fallen in with a bad crew, and I knew that if could break this we'd have a chance. Little did I know that it would be me he would come to in his time of need.

One night, I waited until the early hours when he finally arrived home. Usually, he'd ignore me but this night he sat down in the couch. His eyes were red and puffy.

Out of nowhere he burst into tears.

"I need help. I can't do this anymore."

#Crevice

Somewhere
in the crevices of my mind
there is something I was supposed to remember
staring at the cracks and crevices of my hands
I recall crevices
I have quietly slipped into
Fissures I could have avoided
Cracks I should have filled
I wander, wondering, what was it?
As I slip,
and fall into the depth
I remember,
it was a crevasse, not a crevice.

Breasts
You lying there
Naked
Wonderfully so
Innocent as you languish
Crevice
Exposed
Naked
Tantalising so
Beguiling as you move
Eyes
Open
Naked
Provocatively so
Catching the light as you move
And I falling
Naked
Enraptured so
Encaptured as we move
