Close – #A-ZPoetry

.

In the quiet hours

When willows sigh in the evening shades,

When moonlight slumbers within the trees

And lush tranquility raises her head

To gaze lovingly upon the restless,

Draw Close, my love,

Warmth imbuing Serenity,

Embrace instilling Security,

Touch Speaking Gently;

Draw Close,

Breathe Soft,

Allowing the unobtrusive Hush

To Share All Your Heart Feels

Close.

Gate – #writephoto #FlashFiction

.

Cold and bleak, the gate stood, waiting.  Harbinger of the lost; temple of the Unseen, it yawned in the void of the lifeless living among the living. Spectral silence whispered round its ancient stones, sending shivers in spite of the hope about which it spoke: the possibility that life extended beyond life.

They stood gazing at its perplexing iron and stonework, confused and misled.  Long they had thought the avenue of light would lead them directly onward, but standing in the slanting shadows they began to understand.  Moving ahead or lingering, dead, was entirely their choice.

It always had been.

Written in response to the #writephoto writing challenge posted by Sue Vincent today.  A Photo that immediately spoke to me.  Thank You Sue!

Wakeful

Waiting for the Touch of Your Hands

In the Lonely Void without This Love

#WritingforWriters Wednesday – Bland – #Poetry from A-Z

.

As the Quiet

Filters into the Subconscious

Through ripples of Gently unspoken

Paradoxes;

Reaching without Grasping,

Touching without Clasping,

Caressing the Essence

With an Ethereal Balm

that Lingers

In Ripples of Gentleness,

Speaking Unspoken Quiet

From the Realms of Bland

Into Fertile Land,

Inspiration Sings

To the Soul who looks Beyond.

Passage – Transfixed – #FlashFiction

.

Cascading sparks of crimson cooled to lush indigo-violet hues as his gaze focused again upon her and as he stared, she began to whisper once more.  Softly trepidatious, her voice called to him across the distance that remained between them; yet the sound was brazenly close and his heart hammered in response.

The laughing star-beings returned to their remote locale, watching attentively as he closed the gap between him and the lissome figure outlined against the horizon.  Her whispers became softer as he drew closer; then paused as he stepped from the distance into closeness.

She stared at him; transfixed.

.

#FridayFictioneers – Repetition – #100WordStories

.

Turning began as some of the hardest work she had ever done, round and round; round and round; the repetition creating soreness that seeped into bone.  ‘Creation takes skill and effort’ the wizened woman told her before leaving her with the stones; ‘skill and effort, repeating, repeating.’

Grinding the harvest into useful fodder, she sat amid the stones, turning one, then the other; the effort of gleaning something valuable honing and reshaping not only the kernels of possibility, but her self as well.  Turning, turning, muscles burning, skill and effort gleaning true.

Creation: art that blends hard work with faith.

.

Every Wednesday we get a new picture prompt for the Friday Fictioneers, a writing challenge to spin a tale of exactly 100 words, graciously hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. This is my contribution.

#WritingforWritersWednesday -Aplomb- #Poetry from A-Z

.

So Wordless Wednesdays have gotten a bit too, well, wordless for me; so I decided to change things up and create my own Wednesday theme – WritingforWriters Wednesdays.  What is this new theme, you ask with justifiable curiosity? Rather self explanatory, really, but simply put, on Wednesdays for the foreseeable future I shall seek out Writing Challenges or Prompts and test my Writing skills &/OR offer a Writing Challenge or Prompt for any Writer who also feels inclined to Write for Writing’s sake, as it were. So to start things off Audrey Dawn from Oldest Daughter & Red headed Sister  invited me to join her in writing from A-Z, a Writing Challenge she accepted by invitation of Sharon Bonin Pratt 

This is my “A”.

Aplomb

Stare

Staring Unbroken

Gazing

A Token Treasure

A Measure of Aplomb;

Gaze

Gazing Unrestricted

Watching

Addicted, thoroughly Convicted,

The Leisure of Aplomb;

See

Seeing Completely

Perceiving

Discretely Surveying

Obeying the Bravado of Aplomb.

Delicate Touch – #RomanticTuesday #Love #Poetry

.

Delicate Touch,

Whisper of Breath,

As my Pounding Heart

Dims the rest.

Softly Spoken,

Brazen Intention,

Velvet of Night,

Misguiding Intervention.

Subtle, Tremulous,

Deliberate Ruse,

Intoxicating Embrace,

O, Conspire and Confuse!

#MusicandMuseMonday – Pawn – #Dark #Poetry

.

Writhing Spirals of ebon night

Entrance into a Tantric sight

Embellished within the Tapestry of my thoughts

Where rhythms Perch like daggers

Caught

Cascading in the ribbon of Seductive Night

Delirious trajectory Conforming

Contrite

Begging Forgiveness as the blade falls

Whispering Serration of Echoing calls

As I plummet through the Vast Unknown

What I once was; Now no longer Shown

Wings held close

Unutilized

Falling from Light

Paralyzed

Mesmerized

Chastised

Despised

Lost in the quicksilver Agony of Shame

Forgotten Pawn in an endless game.

.

This is a companion piece, written in response to Fall From Grace by Richard M. Ankers

Thank You Richard for the killer Inspiration
