Children blinded
by the whiteness of it all
mesmerised
looking out of windows
hardly believing their eyes
but then night time comes
and the diminishing light
takes away some of its splendour
leaving drunks to slip over
on glassy pavements

A shroud of white
suffocates the sky
The world grows mute
beneath its weight
Stones vanish
under a silence
that breathes
like grave-dust
The light weakens
Night presses closer
Each step descends
into a void
without return.

Walking down
those old streets,
where we used
to party—
Saturday nights
spend wild & free,
now fading
into the dark vaults
of memory
those headstrong
kids with their
crazy ideals
f r o z e n
in time
while I stroll on,
steps thrumming
to the tick
of the clock
that slows
for no-one.

There was once a time when we,
as children filled our hearts with glee.
We
strolled down the lane
the light
dared to frame
the frozen dust that fell around
the night we dared let hit the ground.
Sight
fading fast
I knew it
would never
last.

a beat as loud

my #surroundings
shudder me

remind me
of times before
and tales of ancient
family lore
a struggle to be
#fearless
my fear
is having none
I breath between
the tremors so
this day will
soon be gone.

The pulse of prayers
inside the bone bars
of my chest—
they grasp
my beating heart
as it ever begs
for more and more
its desires opaque—
but desire itself
as clear as day
thumping the bars
relentlessly
maybe ultimately,
it desires to fly free
of the cage
that traps it
eternally.

The street glimmered in practiced quiet. Windows offered their soft glow, revealing less by choice than by grace. Ahead, a line of footprints curved out of sight, too recent to forget, too deliberate to explain.

Sodium street lights
Illuminating the dark
Stillness carries weight
Across a lonely car park.
Speakers sing tinny
Songs that echo
Out across the empty
Out in the cold.
Sodium street lights
Reflecting on snow.

As the cat waddled by
glint of light caught its eye
and it thought this, I'm certain,
something hides in the curtain,
so it pounced on the fabric with claws.

Pale gray in morning light
Clouds come down to greet the river
Settle around houses
Lights in the kitchen, pies in ovens
Knives on wooden boards
Flesh and fruit, leaf and root

Multitudes trundle along the roads
To loving arms and spices in the air

Confidence comes from experiencing different places. Traveling out of country is fruitless if you’re always complaining about how the eggs aren’t the same; the people are different. You soon learn English is not the only language. If only we’d learned that in 1st grade. #SenseWrds #writingprompts
