Clouded
So sad but yet so simply and beautifully said. The accompanying image is perfect too! It and the poem make me think of the phrase “being put out to sea”. Thanks for sharing, Deborah! ❤

Light Motifs II Thursday Inspiration #17 – Welcome to Thursday Inspiration! This is my weekly prompt post and hopefully it will inspire you to write something creative, perhaps a poem or a piece of flash fiction. This week’s theme is faded and the picture is below.
faded, forgotten
by the love she had trusted
heart clouded in pain

The Moon Shone
If only the window would break
so I could fall away
from this midnight distress
of heavy breathing
laden with bourbon
If only I was not petrified
of what could
happen next
of what might
be my agony
If only this man
kept his hands
and his mutterings
of his wife’s failings
to himself
If only I was bigger
stronger
less frightened
when his hand clamped
down on me so hard
If only I was older
and knew what to do
beyond shaking
smiling glazed
and going numb
If only the moon
didn’t highlight
the deed
whitewash the evil
occurring below
If only the moon could save me
Achievement Insight
endless and unlimited
yes, we are
working towards goals
yes, we do
achieving milestones
yes, we can
Congratulations on reaching 100 challenges, Reena!!
Shame On Us
the greatest stories
ever told are the deceptions
given in bland kisses
by the wretched liars
there’s no care
there’s no real love
there’s just an agenda
theirs comes first
what’s at stake
is what they get from you
furthering their goals
gets them one step closer
what’s at stake
is what you give them
being taken for granted
loses you your soul
Feeling Empty
has life
gotten
on my last nerve
let me check
am I still here
wallowing
do I really
want to know
what life means to me
or am I done
with feeling
empty emotions
and fickle people’s
trying attempt
at connection
that misses
every.damn.time
to engage
i fear i’m done
Nothing Changes
the importance
of life
has always been questioned
ascertaining an understanding
of life
is millennia+ old
the knowledge and wisdom
of life
has always been grasped
but only by the ones who dare examine it
That Quickly
I began dying the minute I realized I wasn’t invincible.
Round ‘N Round We Go
we’re not listening
miscommunication sucks
resolving nothing
Ghosts We Should Thank
we look to the future
to attain a certain life
but what got us here
were the endless shadows
from our past
