The echo mocks me am I shouting into the darkness just to hear my own voice a revisited question there is no kindness in these stone walls just granite resignation but they hide the tears well mingled with the falling rain salty osmosis matching my psychosis #SenseWrds #656

Be like the trees Bending but not breaking, Adapting to the ground Underneath, rooting To be One With the soil. Seeking no Enemies but allies In the rain and sun. Understand that we All need a bit of pain To grow wiser, A little help To be stronger #SenseWrds

Two hearts meeting in verse, Echoes of Love and desire Reborn in their souls As imagination takes root. Spring is a time of growth When the warmth of life Courses through our veins And bears fruit in poetry. Reawaken To the joys Of Romance. #SenseWrds 656

lone figure on a misty beach surf lapping on bare toes seeking something out of reach out where creation flows an echo from a distant place a gentle voice, a hidden face where kindness is a holy place beyond green briny ocean tides where rebirth rises & subsides #sensewrds 656

That place in your heart where flowers bloom rent-free, you will find me there, immersed in spring essences' immense blessings, forever present with it's boundless gentle breeze of #benevolence. #SenseWrds Prompt 656

#SenseWrds 656 My response is not prompted by kindness or regard. You are a blemish on my heart. There is no compromise that can be reached that would allow me to reconnect with you in any way. Any communication from you is considered hostile and will be addressed as such.

The monster Never calls her back He walks in now and again Promising her he has changed That they can start a new life All the lies, anger and pain Will soon put her to sleep She's suffered enough #SenseWrds 656

#sensewrds it was his good will we had chosen to remember not weight of all his labors or the tears he kept hidden away but that smile that lifted our hearts whenever our tears threaten to stay #poetry #WritersPost #micropoetry #poetrycommunity

The three promised spirits can now relax on a job well done. Seasons will now pass year by year far into the future as Scrooge is toasted worldwide. But does anyone spare a thought for the turkey? #SenseWrds 656

We walk daily the same pathway affectionately un-observing the buildings texture, their translucent distant presence despite proximity .......we're opaque you and I, unaffected amongst surroundings. #sensewrds 655 #amwriting

#sensewrds I thought to begin again to hold her in my arms as if she was still as fragile as a memory but the wounds were still fresh the tears all so raw and starting over was no easier no easier than saying #poetry #WritersPost #micropoetry #poetrycommunity

#SenseWrds #PoetryRedux Sunlight shimmering through the leaves Playing hide and seek with sylvan spirits Running with unbridled joy from one pool Of honeyed brightness to the next. Oh, to be a meadowlark high on a branch Watching the happy sprites dancing To the merry tune of

#SenseWrds #PoetryRedux The river lies on its back reflecting On the sky wandering across its waves. Such crystalline blue to make the trout Pause in their strenuous journey home To rest in a shady pool of calmness Where a boulder holds back the current. And I? I am but a

#SenseWrds 3 #PoetryRedux As the dying gleeds of a bonfire Send sparks into the velvet night We count the stars above us While lying on a blanket by the dunes. The only sounds on the beach Are the whispers of waves Rolling ashore along the strand And my suddenly loud heartbeat.

#SenseWrds 5 #PoetryRedux In the stygian valley of despair, With jagged slivers of anguish Biting into my reaching hands As I try to claw my way free Up the steep hill of Sisyphus, I mourn the loss of your Love. You'll always be my forever. I just never realized How much that

#SenseWrds 6 #PoetryRedux I listen to the roaring sound, Salty waves crashing ashore In a violent clash of elements Only to form small streams Trickling downslope to return To gathered waters. Hot, salty rivers in The summer sun, My tears upon losing you.

Beneath the cool shade of A cypress by the pond's shore I watch the reflection of Gauzy white clouds floating Upon the still surface As a bullfrog keeps an eye On me and a fly skimming The surface of the water. Ripples blur the scene As she emerges from her swim, Beads of water
