Blanketed
in a veil
Of ignorance
Until
We’re in ruins
Separating humans
Covered up
By Entertainment
And illusions
Shh
Ignore the executions

#ourpoetryx #poem

I feel like it’s undone.

I thought about adding

Shh
They like obedience

But decided against it

Then

You seem to be
Their audience.

The Youngest Daughter of Misery
(Jan 27 #poem from #prompts)

The youngest daughter of misery gazes her eyes back at me, fixated on what love created, this thing of waning beauty. This thing that fear once hated, during her prelude to provocative pursuits, those early times of blanketed soothe when even invisible friends were sane. When insecurity hadn’t earned a name. When telephone could be a game. When crowded compartments held opportunity, not just what was soon to be another cage. Another age. Another wrinkle making crinkles into this face that wisdom dare not trace, this monument carved in once sacred stone. Monuments only ever stand alone. But then there’s this dare; with a prayer, is it possible to own once more what the crowds implore to be perfection? To note nothing in inspection? To unburden the falsely justified, those words which silence cried and cried in this one gaze. To replace it with praise. When the peeling bark of a birch tree holds endless poetic beauty, why can’t the youngest daughter of misery. This person I alone call me?

inside our waterfall song,
nothing touches us,
all the worries wane
and we are blanketed
in calm harmony
of our breath-
swooning in the
symphony of touch

The backyard
#blanketed
not in gentle snow
but in harsh ice
and the roads
treacherous
time to hunker down
and sleep under
the covers

##OurPoetryX #Blanketed
Nightmares   I want to be at peace, blanketed, cocooned, and safe Soothing a weary body that pleads with me for rest Though when evening spreads its claws, panic rises within Sleep, I know, comes only with a certain fear For in my unconscious hell-black storms rage Torturous moments relived through surreal sensations.   I do not know why I still feel such deep sensations Thinking time and distance would make me safe But I cannot heal when my head spills with rage Instead, I reject compulsions to lie down and take my rest Fingers groping for ways to break free from this fear And drive out the demons that torment me within.   Every trauma faced, I feel must be trapped within No right to subject the world to unnamed sensations Secrets are kept, tongue bitten, mouth stitched with fear And from my ordeals, those I love must be kept safe Allow their bedded-havens to offer them rest I walk cold-footed in midnight halls to outpace the rage. But I cannot sustain my body with rage Or sate the call of sleep from within I know I must go to my bed and take rest Submit my mind to the terrible sensations Travel to the place where I can never be safe To the part of me that nightly re-lives fear.   Clutching my blanket as a shield from the fear I quieten my breath, preparing to battle the rage Tell myself no matter what comes I am safe These curses are only projections from within I can take control of these wicked sensations Banish them from my time of rest.   But closed eyes offer neither respite nor rest Gritted shut with the salt of the memories I fear Breath serves only to stretch invading sensations As I'm dragged into the darkness by rage My bed a reflected hellscape of what is within In no corner of which I feel safe.   This cycle of unrest dooms me to a state of constant rage. As my sanity is tested by fear seeping from within. No respite from these sensations, not even open eyes are safe.

Prompt for 27 January

-Blanketed-
What comes to my mind is how the snow blanketed everything in the last three days. It’s beautiful, but it also masks everything beneath it.

A rare whiteout snowstorm
enveloped the winter village,
submerging every structure
in hushed, uncanny silence.
Residents, long attuned
to the gentle allure
of their intimate enclave,
now faced isolation
within a realm of flawless white.

Pale text on a graduated background of tree trunks, from purple to yellow-tan. "The Husbandry of WolperTingers All my memory purges cannot unburden the chimeric wolpertinger’s macabre beauty, mainly macabre in the annotated dread of the provocative pursuits of forest species coining bizarre spawn in a sexual storm made pheasantly manifest in taxidermy, from the hoarfrost of the antlered hare’s face waning into a squirrel’s body blanketed by wings that were meant to whir in the dawn, not churn stomachs in a grotesque fusion. Other species, feline, vulpine, or else may feature ere the taxidermist’s whimsy is put to pasture. Each wolpertinger is special, no two alike, much as a wagging pound mutt often is-- yet of the two I know which I’ve rather have. EchoGnomics"

Boardwalks blanketed, beaten

I asked them; is it customery to consume this way?

Spotted greedy ones with crowded compartments full of macabre beauty..

..collected by those tainted saints; as society paints..

..a picture of how it should be; jurisdictions? blanketed.

Touch ‘em all, let each word land,
ink tracing the quiet rhythm of the heart,
letters forming bridges across silence,
phrases bearing breath and intention,
lines reaching outward,
thoughts held with measured care,
sentences burning softly with purpose.

The more I like to let it go
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow

The script played out in front of me; was it a prelude..

..to a postscript debut? damn! it seems reality can be rude.

Moving forward is the plan in this Year Of The Horse!

A soft resurrection? a hard / solid one is preferred of course.

Help me understand you
as much as any human can.

Let me intrude upon your darkest thoughts,
ride with you on a white charger,
sharing a victor’s smile.

Help me give you all that I can,
and help you
on your way.
