If we don't emit
Love we're like the walking dead,
Zombies in disguise.

For 17th Dec

Loud, guttural snores
emitted by my husband
wake and comfort me.

Do raindrops travel
even further than starlight
to emit a rainbow?

As they soared around the face of the cliff, she wondered, would the wolves emit howls loud enough to wake the soldiers? But before they had the chance, Alexei raised his arm and a wave of energy rolled over the valley, silencing every human breath, every cricket’s chirp, every rustle of a leaf.

His powers had grown since the battle at Oren Hill, and she felt a frisson of fear. Was he the one the ancients warned of? Could the man she loved be the instrument of destruction?

I wish I could write something for you
My pages are not what you expect
I do not have the wings that you seek
The flow, the finesse
I am too rough. My mouth opens
Emitting dark moths
And I am sorry for it
Love hopes for rainbows
For luminous butterflies
And perhaps you wish for that
Your smile fracturing when
Your love goes crooked
Malfunctioning
I know you need other
Not another, as you believe
That you need me
It’s all a lie, in the end

.
The a coffee an cupcake
nowhere for brunch.
Between Hick town and Hick town
A hamburger lunch.
.
Take the Princess to Eden
But I forgot to get fuel.
So 100 k on,
I’m a panicking fool.
.
Lights flash on the dash.
Warning sounds emit:
Buy me some gas,
you big idiot !
.
No side road, No traffic,
No help to find.
A scene from deliverance,
comes to my mind
.
She helps me panic.
The kids don’t know, or care.
Ten more to go.
Where almost there!
.
A downhill! A downhill!
Thank goodness we’re saved!
Fuels twice the price,
but it has to be paid.
.
A Christmas road trip,
along the coast road.
A truely happy adventure….
We’re on our way home.

The smoke stands still
Frozen in the night sky
Emitted but yet paralysed
Spilt across the darkness

A blot on the landscape
That cannot be erased
Until the morning hand
Wipes it from our sight

Theory of life as pure function
of physics, sees us elevated
to an inevitable consequence
of thermodynamics.

We concentrate energy and
emit it on our surroundings
like Cathrine wheels tumbling
wildly towards entropy and quiet.

We mimic the stars who
shoot out the matter
that made us and feed us,
all quaint little processes
in the order and chaos

of a universe uninterested
in being understood.

The light stars #emit
Has travelled so far across
The vast void of space

We see how they were
Aeons ago in the past
Their most ancient face

Until the morning hand

Not so much a planned transmission,
More of a random radio emission,
That reveled your position
On the subject of our petition,
But not the reasons for your decision.
Was it an intentional omission?

So the Birdsite still emits
fart sounds from its armpits
Frankly, I don't give two shits
I'm just glad I called it quits

As the night falls and the stars emit
Their soft and subtle light,
I can't help but feel a sense of it
This melancholy that fills my mind.

The memories of what once was
Now only bring a sense of fuss
I try to hold on to the good
But it's hard when I feel misunderstood

So I'll let the rain continue to emit
The sound of my heart's melancholy fit
And maybe someday the sun will shine
And I'll be able to leave this sorrow behind.

After months of barren silence
observers betting she’d gone
there were plans to end her
bring peaceful closure for all
On a quiet Sunday morning
as I rocked next to her stillness
She reached with a pale hand
clear green eyes open wide
Life suspended may not be
life done
Maybe sometimes someone
needs time or a rest
Tomorrow she may rise
return to walk among us renewed
From her depths #emit life’s breath
with her will to live🪶

He brooded
Jack sitting in his corner
Hugging his boner
Miserable in his lust
“Kissed the girls and made them cry”
They sang
In his head the echoes rang
“I’ll make them cry”
The whispers from his curling lip emit
his darkening thoughts
That even, he does admit
Arouse him
Jack sitting in his corner
In the cafe eating his pudding and pie
A women walked in he did espy
“I’ll kiss her and make her cry”
He made his move only to find her armed
And now he’s dead

Mastoprompt for 17 Dec 2022: emit

The pair turn around each other, locked in a spinning dance which the little white one leads. The dark one emits flashes with extreme precision – more accurate than our most exact atomic clock.

Abbé Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille named its frame "le Chevalet et la Palette" in 1756.

That is the story our group tells, from this seat in the infinite. Of the beacon, others may tell a different tale.

First light
thick frost-fur
snow-white
out there
Baltic cold
until the sky blues
brass-bold
in brazen hues
and gold spews
sun from between
crimped claws
of grass-green.

Mark radiated positivity, a beacon of hope and optimism in a world of cynicism and negativity. He would emit a positive aura far and wide, always the life of the party and never a bad word to say about anyone.

We'd known each other since we were awkward kids in the school yard, two odd shaped peas in a pod. He'd been kept back a year in school as he'd been quite unwell, a mystery illness that would plague him throughout his life, often in and out of hospital. This never got him down, a resilience that was testament to his character.

We became the best of friends.

I enjoyed his company immensely, spending our formative years getting into all kinds of mischief together. I was welcomed with open arms into his home, spending many an afternoon tormenting his younger sibling and eating a banquet of food that his Italian mother laid out, for fear of our pending malnutrition.

As we grew up, we became further entwined in each other's lives. He was with me at every milestone of my life. A best man at my wedding and a godfather to my firstborn son. A brother, not in blood but we had a bond that ran even deeper.

The phonecall on that fateful summers night absolutely broke me.

I'm still picking up the pieces.

I walk through the park over frozen grounds in the sunshine and everything seems to #emit light. Only it does not seem to reach me.

Later, I realise this is because it has nothing to log onto as I have turned off my own light.

It was not even because the pain was too big (albeit it seems to be, at times). It was to please the people around me.

I know better than that, now.
