Sunlight crept tender
those halcyon mornings,
my heart feeling
forever afloat
on its fair balm.
No plague
clawed itself
into our days,
sending us
annoyingly bound
to a messy journey
with endings
even the sour
don't seek.
Come back.

We are our parents' lissome offshoot, taught to order kindness and grace from others while our centers boil with banned faces. They say to be careful with quiet ones—we shelter pent up rage—but we tend to implode, not explode. #TrickyTues #SFFAskew #TuesCalm #BraveWrite #vss365
Six paper cranes still hang in his bedroom, curtains parted to let light in. The row of houses on his side of the street haven't lost their apathy, feeling that it's incumbent on them to leave their porch lamps on. #TrickyTues #TuesCalm #TuesdayWriters #WIPWordSearch #vss365
Karen dug her heels into the cracked sidewalk as she watched Mama Lucinda buy new red shoes, shiny as chrome. In the dim shop reflection was a little girl who looked just like her. Sunny hair, dark eyes, holed chest. #ProjectFairyTale #MartialMonday #MurderMonday #MonMon #vss365
Pieces of us
in melodic howls
curl
into windows,
eyes closed,
lights splayed,
a dark sewn
in rising face.
Are we gone?
Or inside a fray?
I almost see us
in noon sun's waves,
two ribbons
in a bow,
moving toward
glistening haze,
a rumble
in one's throat.

Flowers,
all I saw
for miles,
petals drizzling
from trees
tall and wild.
Ancient
was their beauty,
warm
yet kinder
than fire,
never vanishing
from roaming eyes,
a calm to acquire.
None
can tear me
in this
memory
where paper planes
fly.

Maybe it was you in the sky, washing away my hidden blights with gentle rain after days of silent pleads to soothe them. Maybe it was you who asked Mother Nature to send earth the moonbow I saw from my bedroom window. You kept me warm. #FP #FridayKiss #FriTease #BraveWrite
You're no rock, but a multi-faceted jewel with wealth in simply being yourself. I've been practicing seeing myself as bright as I see you, going where the breeze caresses my face—even when no one else is heading that direction. #FictFri #SciFiFri #FilmPromptFri #vss365
