SprawlingInk commented on the post, wall 3 months, 2 weeks ago
There is a wall around my heart
That has no end and has no start
Of greyish, haunting marble stone
It stands there weary and alone -
SprawlingInk commented on the post, stir 5 months ago
I could stir my brain with a stick.
The insides sticking, coagulating,
congealing.
The gray matter reflecting
the gray world
that holds me captive. -
SprawlingInk commented on the post, towers 8 months, 1 week ago
The compact glint
of a thousand lives
decimated instantly
in the blink of an eyeWhat from these ashes
can ever grow?
Will hope spring from
where sorrow sows? -

SprawlingInk commented on the post, spa 8 months, 1 week ago
I think I have
some Jung on the brain
yearning for word association
until spa becomes spar
becomes battle
becomes victory
becomes life
becomes death
and all the circles in between -
SprawlingInk commented on the post, belief 1 year, 2 months ago
I cling to this sunshine
that wraps around my arms
pulling my skyward
and smoothing me with hope
instilling the belief that
I can go on
for now -
SprawlingInk commented on the post, maze 1 year, 3 months ago
I stumbled through the maze
the walls of leaf and vine
and wondered if I would
my destiny soon findI came to fear the middle
though branches I did rend
for there was the ever-growing fear
that there I’d meet my end-
thoughtful.

thank you.

The walls close in
as I breath out
mimicking my heartbeat
sealing off my shoutThe walls close in
as I breath out
and slowly suffocate
on doubt -
SprawlingInk wrote about the word sparkling 1 year, 4 months ago
The snowflake sparkled in the moonlight,
flitting in daring spirals through the silence,
until it came to land
on the curve
of her cheek
mixing with the teardrop
as graceful and unique
as the flake that had descended
from heaven -

The crash of thunder
echoed
against the curve
of her skull
pounding away, an omen of some
as yet unseen,
lightning -

Let my horses run free
to the edge of the earth
and come back untainted
with the glow of rebirth -
SprawlingInk wrote about the word rules 1 year, 6 months ago
She played by the rules
and colored in every line
so no one would notice
her complete lack of spine. -
SprawlingInk wrote about the word shuffle 1 year, 6 months ago
He shuffled the deck of cards, his hands gracefully performing the practiced motion. I studied them, his hands, wrinkled and worn by the ravages of time. Hard and calloused from growing up too much too fast in an age now long forgotten. Hands whose fragility belied the strength behind them and held a thousand stories [...]

She tires easily now
it seeps into her bones
like a dull acid rain
eating her slowly
from the inside out
until finally, finally she ends
in a glorious implosion -

SprawlingInk wrote about the word downpour 1 year, 6 months ago
She cursed as she felt
her hair slick
to her forehead
its strands weighing her down
creating slithering strangleholds
caught in a downpour
powerless to resist
and as she grew heavier
she wondered
how anyone could see this
as cleansing -
SprawlingInk wrote about the word combination 1 year, 6 months ago
It was a combination
of lust and rage
that freed the demon
from its cage
because who can ever
resist the whim?
The carnal temptation,
the night of sin. -
SprawlingInk wrote about the word profound 1 year, 6 months ago
She wanted her life
to be a profound
statement
unfettered by the mundane activities
that were currently stifling her
from the outside in
a bland docility
where wildness
wouldn’t grow -
SprawlingInk wrote about the word epiphany 1 year, 6 months ago
The epiphany came
in a growing
effervescent glow
creeping up
the tips of her fingers and hands and limbs
until it swallowed her whole
Shivers danced across her skin, stars
flashed behind her eyelids
As she reached out her arms
beseeching him to return -
SprawlingInk wrote about the word sacrifice 1 year, 6 months ago
Let’s make a sacrifice
by breaking the sunbeams
across the altar
of tomorrow
to bring about
a glorious daybreak
as yet unpromised-
I like this imagery.
