Tag: Prompt of the week

Whole

One day in time,
I walked life free.
Laughs echoed chimes,
swung from tall trees.
Danced, skipped, and sang,
knew dreams would be.
Inner bells rang,
believed in me.

One cloudy night,
you brought the rain.
Stripped away light,
made me insane.
Held back my glee,
I could not gain.
Introduced me
to constant pain.

One sunny day,
my heart grew cold,
Blood pumped away,
timid turned bold.
As sunlight hit,
regained control.
Our road was split,
grasped what you stole.

One afternoon,
looked at the sky,
transient moon,
was painted high.
Reflective hues
twinkled my eyes,
showed I am you,
then faded by.

One part of me
no longer hides,
now forced to see,
there are two sides.
Was never gone,
still lives inside,
combined as one,
protects and guides.

View

Dark grey skies are expected,
scattered tears fill up the day,
deep unease is projected,
sense deep peace may lead the way.

Search inside,
then decide,
inner guide,
or cold pride.

Overcast swiftly passes,
drags along brisk doubtful thoughts.
Calmness drizzles, love splashes,
dappled sun rays offer support.

Swiftly heal
how heart feels,
ego peels,
light reveals.

Puffy clouds carry raindrops,
to expose bright rainbow hues,
hydrate worn dry thirsty crops,
that provide hopes to pursue.

Erase lines,
dreams combine,
let soul shine,
feel divine.

Nature rings with loud thunder,
emotions vibrate inside.
Eyes quickly fill with wonder,
as outside clear visions shine.

Profound clues,
sprinkle truths,
minds will choose,
outer views.

Distress

Magnetic strong words,
attached to my mind,
attracting concerns,
no longer confined.

I turn them around,
but they just repel,
surround and compound,
disarming my shell.

Magnetic sources,
with intentions said,
unbalanced forces,
bounce upon my head.

Replays the lyrics,
that form with each word,
unstable spirits,
smug ego transferred.

Magnetic sharp tunes,
all come to a halt,
clear off my scarred wounds,
removes grains of salt.

Embraces and shields,
directionless souls,
visions cleared and healed,
to regain control.

Once More

Fuel my heart,
ignite my mind.
Light the sparks,
as paths align.

A first breath
is reassigned.
Prior deaths
are by design.

Second chance
to rectify.
One more prance
to clarify.

I am now
what I once judged.
Promised vows
will clear past smudge.

Bashing you,
reflects on me,
painting views,
of what I see.

Walk through life,
yet once again.
Light will guide,
as I transcend.

Euphoric

Swallow scoops of gold sunlight,
feel them twinkle in my eyes.
Swim within the vast blue sky,
floating soul reaches new heights.

Whimsical vibrating sounds,
sparkle bright hues through the clouds.
Joyful gifts fly all around,
swaying chimes whisper so loud.

A gentle breeze strums my swing,
celestial touch cuts all strings.
hear angelic voices sing,
unfurling feathery wings.

Grazes my head with insight,
gratitude carries delight,
absorbed love shines ever bright,
knowing all will be alright.

Origin

Lights shine for eternity,
swimming through infinity,
provides warm security,
with bright opportunities.

Brilliantly self-formed presence,
strong everlasting essence,
secures every lesson,
stupendous evanescence.

Darkness so mysterious,
appearance quite serious,
immersive experience,
makes head feel so delirious.

Driven imagination,
becomes instant creation,
a balanced application,
forms inner declarations.

Perfectly formed projection,
multi-mirrored dimensions,
bounces off self-reflections,
while building new perceptions.

A mystical transmittance,
to balance off resistance.
United co-existence,
reaches a greater distance.

Dreamland

Deep inside the forest trail,
a clear mirage helps dreams sail.
Enchanted tree, exposed roots,
forces ego to dilute.

Forbidden to all but few,
concealed from foul tainted views.
Accepts those with will to change,
tender balance in exchange.

Holds pure minds, polishes stains,
clears the poor so nice remains.
Reveries cascade so free,
a display healed eyes can see.

Offers a warm loving home,
with a secure structured dome.
Protects from all outer wrongs,
feeds great peace, makes hearts feel strong.

Carry pictures deep inside,
principles become a guide.
Walk upon fall crunchy leaves,
at last opened to receive.

Sun rays fill from crown to feet,
nature’s music sounds so sweet.
Vibrations flow through the soul,
twinkle kindness and control.

Fall into Autumn

Amber colored breezy hues
Surprise eyes with pretty views

Air blows softly, colors change
Unique structures rearrange
Tip toe on leaves as they crunch
Unhinge bliss, jump on a bunch
Music whistles through the air
Nature’s beauty everywhere

Leaves swiftly change their green tone
Earth toned colors proudly shown
Arrives late in September
Visits until December
Endlessly enhancing days
Summer pushes it to play

Fall brings winds with cooler breeze
Autumn provides joyful peace
Letting go of what is old
Leveling warm days with cold

Tip Toe

Music box in my mind,
thunderstorm forms a dance,
feelings swirl, all combined,
lightning strikes to enhance.

Gusty wind melodies,
touch my heart like a chime,
flickering memories,
flow through blank hollow times.

Twirl around, remove veils,
mesmerized by the tune,
evaporating tales,
smell of old worn perfume.

Uneven thunder crash,
stagnant tears fall like rain.
The night sky holds a flash,
reigniting aged pain.

Absorb a jolting slam,
as I sway with the breeze,
I forget who I am,
the wild storm seem to freeze.

Spin to the sounds of drops,
playing songs in my head.
Watch as rains choose to stop,
breathlessly on my bed.

Found Voice

Timid eyes,
head bowed down,
too afraid to want for more.
Scared to try,
filled with clouds,
search hard for an inner roar.

Shaky hands,
posture slumped,
weighted efforts holds down score.
Nothing lands,
always dumped,
can not grasp the slightest roar.

Shuts down mind,
pure love flies,
lands securely at his core.
Treats self kind,
heartbeats rise,
whispers soft purrs, still no roar.

Full of peace,
insides sing,
expectations land ashore.
Filled with ease,
like a king,
life vibrates to his strong roar.
