and then there are times
(touch, taste, grab and kiss, worship)
a deeper ending
sought where we both occupy
the same space-time explosion

Thanks @worded_art for the prompt - simultaneous.

voices from darkness
something miraculous
to have communication
flow across distance
wave by wave by wave

something hopeful
to have ambition
for a larger reality
with more open views
and hope for better

something sinister
for the base values
of those voices
and the voices
standing silent
behind them
in darkness
to never have been
examined in daylight


Thanks @tanweerdar for the prompt - broadcast.

road drilling
pneumatic hammer
generator growl
agony at first
i tune it out
move through
the day
slightly hunched
clenched
as if the ceiling
has dropped
and grown
stalactites
then the chasm
when noise stops
and i plummet
into peace
and quiet
agony at first
but alowly
i unfurl

Thanks @worded_art for the prompt - worry.

some words
feel odd to say
to someone
but also
feel odd to say
about someone
many of them
seem to live
in the toolkits
certain types
of older male
writers
(who may
or may not
be winsome)
open to describe
young women
in their writing

prompt - 10th September - winsome.

you carried something for me
the night i felt the need
to lie down limp on the hard
wet road with the cars sweeping by

sometimes people ship
too much darkness
to pump themselves
buoyant again
and so your hand, small
gripping mine as you lay
on that gritty cracked asphalt
helping me bail myself out

small, but strong
how the mountain slows its strength
to almost stillness because such immensity
can so easily overhwlem

prompt - 9th Sept - gentle.

i never wanted
to be stubborn
I was trying to show grit
determination, a can do
spirit

i never wanted
to be awkward
i was committed
a hustler, closing the
deal

i never wanted
to beg
i was just persistent
in making my
pitch


Thanks @tanweerdar for the prompt - stubborn.

i want that moment
your eyes go wide, your breath stalls
i want the one where
you're alone, undiluted
free from outside influence

Thanks @worded_art for the prompt - elicit.
