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 3 months ago

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 -

We build fences
We make defenses
We cower
To cover
Our tender
Emotions
Never realizing
That we separate
When we segregate
Our feelings. -
AudioPicasso wrote about the word accordion 4 months ago
We expand and contract
Fight and surrender
We come and go
As we please
We understand the bond and
how the music should sound
We are instruments of
Our love making -
Phlox wrote about the word crisp 4 months ago
The morning air was crisp as my breath fanned out in a mist in front of me. I couldn’t tell where I was, or what I was meant to be doing. But I figured that was the exact premise of Life anyways, so I continued moving towards nothing, the frozen grass crunching beneath my shoes.

SprawlingInk wrote about the word sparkling 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 -

A dozen thoughts grace her face at the same time, muddled together to form the indescribable look she gives me. She extends her hand, but I back away, not really sure what to believe, as I can tell she isn’t quite sure herself.

her complete lack of spine. -
SprawlingInk wrote about the word shuffle 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 6 months, 2 weeks 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

resist the whim?

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 -
AudioPicasso wrote about the word passionate 6 months, 2 weeks ago
