This is Just a Short Poem About
the known brightness of the sun
it’s effect on our eyes
how it fuels the whole planet
and how LED headlights on stupidly big US trucks
shine brighter
when the sun dies the earth will be fine
they’ll just jettison jacked-up gas-guzzlers
bigger than kitchens
into the atmosphere
by the thousands
arrange them in a ring around the world
with their high beams on
and it will never be night again

2171.
laid on the bed next to me while I tried to teach myself to turn left in Latvian
I stood at the end of the lesson, she stayed behind, one paw extended, tail curled over her toes
might not be always the most beauty in the world but right now at least I have her

IN THE OCCASION THE MOON FALLS FROM ITS PALACE IN THE SKY
Should Halloween end and release its final screech
and you feel the crawling sensation of relief from the disappearance of fear glowering; it’s hungry jaws gnawing at your ear and whispering incomprensible dreams of beautiful things
You will lay on the ground and stare up.
In this darkness without the nightlight you used so precariously as to not disrupt the sky giant’s slumber, you will scream.
The ghouls have since passed and the blood dripping from the moon’s chambers now gone and splattered to you as spoils of sweet.
Revel in the flesh of labour. And in your reveries will it return to install terror as once before, but your bravery reaps its fruits.
You find the sky quiet. The howling of creatures below your feet and shadow man laughing with a friend behind you gone. The ringing in your ears like blood roaring now ceased.
Though you mourn her, she will rise to her throne above you once the rays of heats have breathed their last. For nights you will stare, upholding patience for her phases to pass.
When she waxes the last of her candle, and like the ruler of a world she does not own, she will let her monsters free among your land. So you’ll dress to blend in.
Until you become one.
In the occasion of Halloween ending, mourn its fleeting moments. If you grip it hard enough, you’ll hold on forever. And if you shove it into yourself y it will consume you.
And you will become a guile ghoul.

The Secret Of Silence
joy is being given the secret of silence after the hard lesson and the heavy penance
joy is being driven to relay radiance and this way forgiven for past indifference

Simply archiving a writing challenge I did back in 2016 up to 2017 and featuring my favourite writing pieces from each week of the challenge here on Tumblr :]
← Week 35 (BB) – Week 37 (SS) →
Tumblr media
Cartoon: Transformers Prime / Robots in Disguise 2015
Characters: Smokescreen, Knock Out, and Bumblebee, with appearances from numerous other characters (even ones not featured in the cartoons)
Synopsis: An Autobot Elite Guard rookie, a Decepticon medic turned Autobot, and an Autobot scout turned warrior turned street cop - three very different bots with a wide range of stories to tell. And we are going to spend the next year exploring said stories through daily-written drabbles, be they angsty, humorous, gut-punching, or just plain odd! Who doesn’t love a challenge? (2016 to 2017)
All My Fault
The sparkeater nightmares from his sparklinghood were still fresh. The events of Tyger Pax and the subsequent nightmares weren't easily forgotten either. Recently, a new wave of nightmares had been coming for him. He supposed these particular nightmares were an inevitable part of becoming a leader, but they hit a little too close to home.
He would be with his team, and things would quickly descend into madness. One by one, his entire team would fall despite his best efforts to protect them, until he was left alone with the knowledge that it's all his fault, all his fault, all his fault...
Nervous
"Bumblebee, you scout ahead and see what we're up against."
"You got it."
"Recon only, all right? And be careful!"
"Relax, I'll be fine!"
Bumblebee was starting to reconsider that stance as he wandered about the very abandoned looking building. Under any other circumstance, Bumblebee would've felt secure enough to essentially throw stealth to the wind. But there was something about the dead silence and utter darkness that had him keeping to the walls.
"Don't be so paranoid," Bumblebee muttered, turning a corner. "Keep it-"
His headlights illuminated several Decepticon corpses, strewn about the hallway, grey and lifeless.
"Oh... good..."
Better to be Happy
Today, Ratchet had suggested some form of speech therapy to help him get used to the new voice box. Bumblebee had only nodded in response, before leaving to aimlessly wander the halls once again.
Later, a nervous Sideswipe asked 'Bee if maybe he wanted to play capture-the-flag later. Bumblebee wanted to refuse with some cutting remark. He also wanted to accept with an enthusiastic exclamation. He could not muster enough emotion to care about doing either of those. Ultimately, Bumblebee forced a smile and nodded.
Sideswipe lit up. "Great! See you soon!"
As soon as Sideswipe turned away, Bumblebee's smile disappeared.

I don’t want to be mean to you. I don’t want to bully you or hurt your feelings
I want to make you laugh so often I become intimately familiar with the way your smile sounds. I want to memorize the way your eyes flash in a moment of joy and find find comfort in the feeling of your palm in mine.
I want to be a moment of peace in your day. That which lifts your heart and reminds you that the birds sing.
But you only text me when you are lonely and rough around the edges. Seeking the spark and intensity of us. Looking for the way I am quick to respond and quicker to strike, because everyone I have ever loved has left and I have been scarred by their departure. So despite all that I desire, I continue this act. This performance of nonchalance and distance, because I live for the moments we speak and I am scared that to drop the facade is to extend you an invitation to depart.
That to show you the tears and the ache as the loss, would only give you the opportunity to strike true instead of know me as I crave. K.R @10:54 6/16/23

the big, yellow moon, the sunset
honey moon, is a night crier for dust
filters sepia yet cool upon the pillow
alighting motes that hang on air, the sheets
sticking in my lungs, my dry eyes, settling
collecting in the corners of the room
the gentled floodlight of that satellite
pulls the tides and plucks at sleep
it lures small wing-ed things, it spills
around the blinds, creating shadow-puppetry
of furniture and clothes, suggesting life
to addled malleable mind, the moon
the big, beige moon, the loudest
lullaby, steadily traversing the sky
it doesn’t care that I am tired
the two-faced moon, gracing
all eyes, with only its best side
and here am I; how could I look away?

2025.
Late at the grocery store I make a bad joke to myself, startle a tourist, find myself thinking about Nick from college, that poem he wrote
"Taco, Taco, Taco Bell. Yeah."
It's weird, these things that lodge themselves sometimes in your heart

I've been hurt before
Tell me about war
Scars all over, what are we searching for?
Resourceful with these feelings of anguish
Could language be less dangerous?
To defuse a situation before we begin to aim with
Aggression, possession, depression
The question
What stops these feelings of war?
