Downhill

Having to deal with you it’s almost Like walking downhill in high heels,

You walk carefully hoping and praying That you don’t put your foot wrong,

That the heel is strong enough to hold In case your ankle makes you wobble.

Also, in some cases, looking for something To hold on to, in case you stumble.

Tell me, are you always this difficult? Or do you delight in seeing people struggle

To find some common ground with you? And so today, I say, to hell with this.

Goodbye high heels when going downhill, And goodbye to the goodwill I had for you.

- Ely C. Winters.

Imperial April

#imperialapril

Fool

Rainy

Walking downhill

Sloping transgressions

Weaknesses

Quiver

Planting options

[praggya1993]

I can see paper planes

Flying in the air so evenly,

Grass glistening with a warmth

Always beckoning me,

Flavours so vibrant

Gracing my senses

Something tugging at my hair

Letting them fall freely,

I think I've finally heard

The raspy voice of spring,

Telling me to abandon

The corners where I was

Huddled uneasily.

Fools Gold

Always searching for what's thought to be better on the other side

Never looking upon what's already there with any fond thoughts

There is always a bigger better prize to be claimed, there is always something higher than first place winner

Keep going but it's never found that one thing more prized than all other's in the mind that never sees that they have more than enough

Its more than greed in a way its a constant lack of satisfaction, not only with the world but more so with themselves

To seek all one can gain from outside is a never ending unfulfilling battle; there will never be enough nor anything that will make this one content

They will keep mining, digging, sifting through ruins to find the gold never realizing that they've already found it and simply need to claim it...

Let me know what you think and pass the thought along my Lovelies.

Cut my stomach open and serve me over rice. Blood for your pudding and bile for wine. Come now, lick your fingers, don't be shy. Break my bones. Suck the marrow from me noisily, greedily, like a hungry child at the mother's breast. I am plenty. Yet can it still be called thirst when the river runs dry and you are here, lapping at the tears of a corpse not for water, but for salt?

I’ve always thought my life was trapped in a tiny time capsule, buried somewhere in someone’s backyard, waiting for someone to crack it open for me. Buried along are items, photos and letters of shared, countless yesterdays. When someone finally finds me, it would already be a little too late, for the present would only mean the past, and my future – the present.

– Time Capsule, Samantha M.

Monsters never tell / of their weaknesses, / why should they / if just like us / they want to live? / Monsters never tell / because unlike us / they are not trusting fools.

Realization

It was a rainy April morning When I realized I loved you. It came to me the same way The water came to the earth,

Softly, yet all at once. And I Knew that my heart would Not lie, nor it would lead me To the wrong heart to love.

Desire

There is so much hunger in your eyes That both thrills me and makes me quiver In fear of being devoured by a dragon, A dragon who will leave nothing of me Save the ashes created in nocturnal passion.

Arrival

You slip into my life with ease as if you had always belonged there.

And you upend it in ways I could not predict, suddenly your absence doesn’t make sense and I find myself aching for you.

You slip into my dreams suddenly without a single warning and lure me like a siren.

The nights no longer feel safe for me, as every time I close my eyes I see you waiting for me with your arms wide open.

And you slip deep into my heart one day making a home there without looking back, and I know, that you are here to stay.

April Prompts 2021

#imperialapril

Fools and false gold

Dream-cicle

Ultralight beams

Plants and plans both dying

Slip

Spring's raspy voice

Opening day

[elycwinters]

Let my heart bloom in spring along all the beautiful flowers,

let me celebrate it overcoming the ice age it just went through, this is the right moment for it let it feel like it’s own opening day.

Let my heart bloom in spring, it’s high time to love recklessly.

She turns her dreams into popsicles and shares them around, she wants the sweet flavors of dreams to be in everybody’s mouths. They’re small and tasteful little morsels that give people hope.

Shinny Golden Things

Shinny golden things are a trap for fools.

It’s so easy for them to get lost and enthralled, they swear that they are being called to go forth and look for their fortune in gold the wishes they have are something to behold.

Shinny golden things are a trap for fools.

In that search they forget an important thing that not every golden thing will sing with honesty, many of it will be false and cheap and for that curse they will weep.

For shinny golden things are a trap for fools.

- Ely C. Winters.

Ultralight Beams

Out for a night ride on the winding pitch black twists and turns that come from a road named grey

Only light is that coming from both the moon and my super high beams, like the night sun all is illuminated; glowing eyes watch my disturbance passing by

Lit up are the looming hanging branches of the trees that line either side of this road, like hands reaching out to get me I'm too fast for there grasp

The light shining lets me see everything before everything can see me, night has become day as the beams touch the horizon along the straightaway

Finally come to a point where there are other lights blinking stop slow abd go, they pale in comparison as they try to shield themselves from my ultra bright light

Passing thought the night, darkness itself runs from my sight; nothing can withstand the light that comes from my radiant sight...
