SCORCHED EARTH CLEANSING

Submitted by Ruby Lord on Sat, 2023-12-16 14:12

Soldiers leave deep footprints,
As they slither secretly away,
Death gets stuck in the throat,
more graves, gouged every day.

Hordes of crumpled people,
Hunger in moth-eaten shame.
The hole in his head is a liar,
Unwilling to bear any blame?

Left is a thorn in man’s flesh,
Warlord hides true purpose.
False tongues hurry to dance,
As words target and curse us.

The Rubicon now redrawn,
Victory, staged in false light.
Dead trees weep out of tune,
Tears rain on enemy’s fight.

Whispers

Whispers
Words in silence
Voicing thoughts in an ear
Creating a heartfelt feeling
Sighings

BLOOD WANDERER POV VERSION

Submitted by Jokerface82 on Sat, 2023-12-16 06:58

When I saw you float in
I felt your presence your
Dominance your finger

Tips. Your outside breath
Tickle my ear my silk skin
my toungue rolls around it's

a Thrill. Each tred you step
Im pulled closer to your loving
Web.I couldnt take my eyes away

When are cherry lips sticked
I felt my life energy evaporate.
A pumping throb in my chest

Every throb for your black heart
Is magnetised by your darkness.
A stranger I never knew

Shiiiiiiiiiiirkkk.
A body is split in two.
flies buzz, opportunistic for the rot.
My mind, turns to thought
Maybe I was dead, long before this.
Decaying in the sun,
I can hear it breathing now.
Grass swaying in the wind,
all is quiet, still,
save for the buzzing of flies
that sounds fills me with dread.
I hear it when rooms fall silent
Hovering over my naked form,
feeding off of my warmth
An early tomb, is always at the back of my
mind, It makes space for itself,

Once Upon a Dream: Part 2

Submitted by Kristen H. on Fri, 2023-12-15 23:39

You lean against your car
As I stand in front of you

Eyes locked on eyes
It's time to say goodbye

"Goodnight" I whisper as
I turn to walk away

"Wait" you whisper back
As you walk towards me

I turn back around to see you
Standing there

You grab my arm
And pull me in for a hug

Soft and gentle
Your touch lingered on my arm
Letting me go as slowly as possible

Just like my dream...

Why can't I have it all

Erase you,
But still
Keep
Our
Daughter.
She has your eyes.
These,whiskey brown,
bowls of promise.

Celebrate the Year image prompt

Submitted by Hon on Fri, 2023-12-15 16:59

Here comes a New Year’s Resolution
I fill my heart with a sense of gratitude
that life teaches me the meaning of sharing
Live and strive for the best that I can be
to learn and grow with an understanding
from the wisdom and knowledge
look beyond the past with valuable lessons
Embrace the precious moments
to make 2024 a special new fresh start off
A spectacular and remarkable one
like the sparkling champagne
that brings a sweet wine taste
spread the seed of love and joy
Count every second as a blessing to all

A window to the mind

Submitted by Jakub Zoltowski on Fri, 2023-12-15 14:35

I wished for little window, so I could see the mind. The person could be sleeping, and I could be polite.
Through that kind of window, many people could look by. And all that they would see could be the dreamiest of their mind.

I hope, wish and act on the one true, desire.

Be good to people, and act kind.

I hope, that people would not look outside.
As the window is the true heart of mine.
Even thou sometimes, I may seem, not such a polite.

Love Song

Submitted by Ruby Lord on Fri, 2023-12-15 11:28

In search of truth, I ask the question,
Have you ever seen your God?
Does the flame burn bright, suggestion,
Or pierce your heart as lightning rod?

My flicker of intention cries in shame,
With cowardly request, I ask for more,
As I am forgotten in my fame,
My answers fall as death to shore.

Shall we stroll ‘neath darkened skies,
On streets anaesthetised, in drink and dope.
Our lust undone with frenzied cries,
To live a moment of impassioned hope.

Sunlight

Submitted by Clentin on Fri, 2023-12-15 08:25

Sunlight paints the sky,
Golden hues bid night goodbye,
A new day unfurls.
