I remember the last time we met. It is a world away, now. Our last words have not been spoken in peace. Not on your end, anyway. The bleak house of toxic family patterns became your fortress.
Love is an anchor, they say. But my love did not save you. Perhaps, love rather is an acre, and we are the gardeners.
I hope, you rest peacefully, now.
Love.

On the desk in the bleak house, penned reveries, a world away, and long forgotten. Vines embrace the walls, are reaching in through the windows, to keep it all safely locked in Nature's perfection.

Some see in anticipation
Its own sin
I don't
Nor do I attach
To any outcomes
I love whom I love
Going solo
Romance is a bonus book
There is no need
I'm ready to receive

All The Trimmings
All the trimmings spread
over walls, and windows
I'm coming up for air
Apart we languish
though they glow
like fragments of nebulae
for me to find them.
Untold stories press
against my bruised heart
attempting
one more time
to break it
open
When my love blooms
all the tiny sparks
rejoin to one nova

Contrition becomes her as indoctrination intrudes a child's innocent heart. No blazing fire, but festering gleam, slowly breaking down substance.
One morning in the burned house, she allows what's meant to dream to rise, and realises: The sky leaves room for one more.
Cherry blossoms after Winter gently open like her shattered heart. Rippling through...

When the weather is fine you come over to hang out with me, basking in the warm sunlight. It keeps me wondering:
Will we ever stand through a storm and dance in the rain?
You let the question loiter with intent. But I don't need to be tricked into mastering memory. I'll just, though with compassion, close the door, next time the sun is out.

I didn't write this to upset anybody. It should be known by now that in hurting others, we only hurt ourselves. Alas, the smoke in the mirror obscures the view, and distorts the shadows. Another scarlet blade sheathed, they say to just be yourself. Yet, they never walk their talk.

They earnestly say it is easy to be the favoured child, when you are the only one.
They will never know the relevance of tackling the load of a family handed down through generations all alone.

Life is poetry in motion, but sometimes its lyrics are dark. A melody devoured, welcomed by the depth of the silence after the detonation. Until, in that nuclear Winter, the wind blows away all warmth.
And still I rise.

A Grief Observed
I've held on to my grief, as if it was a life to cling to. What I didn't realise was this:
It held me captive in the shadows between the past, and the presence.
It hurt like hell to release it. As if what once has been now really was gone. But love sets free. And if it is true, it will return to you.
For me it did. Where once was a hole in my heart, now resides light.

Upon beholding yesterday, once more, down the long way she had come, she realised that the warmest memories had often grown by the darkest pathways. Tears of silver gently fell to the ground, giving life to the future.

I am staring at today's prompts, and somehow just don't feel it. Ink flows on pages, exploring options. Cast adrift in their wake, a lighter, and a princess, unburdened by release, in the magic toyshop, blissed not to be fleshed out, any further by my pen

Matches
Do you know those connections where, when you meet for the first time in this life, it is like:
"Warm to meet you!"
And it feels like you have known each other for eons?
These encounters, that are like bridges through time, and space?
A spark of heaven that ignites the fading life anew, when umbral breath was no more teasing, but had grown...

last year's leaves rust-le

Impassioned tongues instilling the paranoia of control into people's minds, are believed to be of power. But it is not belief that fills a quill, it is faith.
I let it rest in my heart's love - a tender spark that gently grows beyond within. Control is fear of the unknown. I rather dance through life in serendipity's embrace.

The Survivor
There was a time when I thought other people's opinions were knowledge.
Wisdom even.
Inside the noise, an entrance begged.
A spark.
It was the wisdom of my heart, where, in all sincerity, my true guidance resides.
And I survived.

The happy prince is a myth. I have no interest in knights with shining armors. They don't even know the places I've been to.
I've always turned to the lighthouse, yearned for it's beacon at the end of the tunnel. The closer I got, the more unavailable it became.
One day, I decided to be my own light.
Quiet revolution.

An ordinary incident. Probably, most people wouldn't even pay any attention to it.
But I'm not like most people. Not since, in the nightmares, they finally sucked me dry, and made me one of them.
Worried I might have no reflection, I stare into the looking-glass until...

It's beautiful, now, all neatly written down, bound, and placed on a shelf in the bookstore.
But once upon a time, she was the Queen of the Damned, living in a hell that had been imbued on her long before his departure.
