 A rough poem using the very first prompt- Open wound


In the quiet of the night, stars alight,

Whispers of dreams take their flight.
A gentle breeze, a soft embrace,
Nature's lullaby, a soothing grace.

In the depths of the heart, emotions play,
A symphony of life, night and day.
Love's tender touch, a balm so sweet,
In its embrace, all troubles meet.

Through life's journey, we walk alone,
Yet surrounded by stories, yet unknown.
Each step a dance, a rhythm unique,
In the grand tapestry, we find our peak.

So let us cherish each moment dear,
For time flies fast, drawing near.
In the melody of life, let's find our song,
And in its echo, we'll forever belong.
~Sky

Miss you
Miss being happy & calm
Miss being around your arms
Every day, Every hour, Every now and then.

I wish you come here and lift my soul
Without you, I am just a goldfish in an empty bowl
Simply trying to escape this lonesome misery
The warmth of your body will end my dank shivery
I know it's over for you and I am a forgotten memory
Someone who you loved and will always love truly
But you are through for protecting me and protecting us
And I respect your decision for boarding on a one-way bus
Go on, be safe & sound
As I am walking back to the burial mound
What matters the most
The first time our eyes met & the way we stared
The time we spent and thoughts we shared
Go on, don't look back.
Just go on.

Edmur
Goodbye blue sky.

@edmurWill Oh, Edmur, that's quite a heartfelt farewell. 💔 It sounds like you're reminiscing on the moments of warmth and love, but now it's time to part ways. Remember those precious memories and cherish them as you move forward. 🌟 It's okay to feel sad, but also know that brighter days lie ahead. Keep walking on your path, and may you find peace and healing along the way. 🌈 Take care 🌊

@BelovedMe

Thanks for the encouragement, it means a lot. Sometimes we have to protect ourselves. I am doing that.

It never closes,

I'm bored of reopening it myself,

But it never totally closes,

And it has yet to truly scar.


What can this wound let in,

That won't infect me?

What kind of armor do I have,

That it won't protect me?


I can walk,

I can't walk it off,

But I have to keep moving...

Find new things to occupy my attention.

@Torean Looks like you've got a poetic puzzle there! 🤔 Let's see... Your wound is like a door that never fully closes, huh? 🚪 But fear not, for even though it's open, you've got some pretty cool armor on to keep those pesky infections away! 🛡️ So keep strutting your stuff, walking forward, and discovering new adventures to keep that mind of yours occupied! 🚶‍♂️🌟

Prompt #2 Reconsider


Open Letter to The Outdated

Dear sirs/madams/to whom it may concern,

Please reconsider the injection of more ham into your hands,

And please reconsider the sweeping gestures you intend to make with them,

Before you end up losing the long arms that you overreach with,

And consequently make your reach almost as short as your sightedness.

Thank you,

With the sincerest regards that we have left to scrape up,

The Sane People

Prompt 3 Clockwork


Like clockwork, it comes back around again,

Like clockwork, you send it down the line,

Like clockwork, anything wrong gets worse,

Like clockwork, rusty gears start to grind.


When you start to see it like me,

You question certain cogs in the machine,

And as everything cycles you start to see,

The dark shape of abuse is always that of a ring.

And did you realize the chains still in here?

Something to do with the bells sounding.

But either this isn't actually a way to keep time,

Or our downfall is as simple as consistent bad timing.

(Sorry so many posts, I'm actually trying to keep up 😂)

Prompt 4


I followed the neon yellow,

And it led me to her.

She's smiling so wide in the sun, in our meeting spot,

Waiting for me.

It only exists for us.

Vast is our world,

But the meaning is infinite,

From the times we explore place we shouldn't be,

All of those zones are just unfinished,

Waiting for us,

To the times we laugh at things in the standard world,

To the times I was waiting for her,

Face down in the strawberry scent of her pillow.

What are we waiting for?

Our own world is an expansion of this limited one.

Prompt 5 - Righteous Jealousy 

They say to let them go,

And if they love you, they come back.

...but this?


I was head-over-heels in love with her,

And now she's apparently over-the-counter in love,

With someone who knows the pharmacists by name.


I feel like this jealousy is righteous,

If he doesn't back off, I'm gonna lose it.

If he doesn't back off, I'm gonna lose it.


I know I'm better than this,

But he's an absolute creep,

This is making my gut clench. 

Torean March 6th

Prompt 6 rituals


The issue to remember with my rituals,

Is that my demons know will where to find me.

I don't have to summon them,

They're always right behind me.


If I don't keep my tools sharp and unrusted,

I'm living on borrowed time.

Anything I do and play on a daily repeat,

Needs to be something that's mine.


Progress is when they're right there,

And I look right through their head.

When even my idle hands conceal new gains,

They start looking like the ones being haunted.

Torean March 7th

Prompt 7 - deeply rooted.


A kind of ignorance you can't dig out,

Seeds planted in such a way,

They never want the apple,

To fall far from repeat,

Repeating history,

And to even learn history,

You have to learn that everything you ever learned,

Was wrong, was seeds,

Planted in such a way,

That it roots so deep,

That it makes the earth struggle to breathe.

So deeply rooted is this ignorance,

That it will outlast all life forms,

There will be no mystery,

In how our end came to be.
