[just-4-thought]

I woke up today with a letter at my door The envelope 20-years-old. Inside the handwritten Date of my birth Intrigued me ever so.

      “Hello my darling,       You don’t know me       Yet       But you will.             I managed to convince a nurse       To cart me to the neonatal unit today       So I could look upon your face       Once more       Although it was the first time for you

      You looked at me       I don’t think you could see me       But somehow I think you knew

      I can’t tell you much more, my love       Spoilers and all       But time will tell the truth

      I’m old now       Trying to write from       My frail memories       The story your future       My past

      It was brief, and beautiful,       And full of so much light       But I had and you will have       Important things to do

      When it is time to leave       Make sure you go       Time won’t change my love

      Just know       Before I died       I got to say a proper goodbye       And see you       One last time”

I folded the letter Like the puzzled folds in my face And wouldn’t think much of it For several more years.

Collab of the Week

This week’s Collab of the Week is this piece by @aliveinsideink and @wordrummager

Two weeks of photography/poem mashups? YES! We love the trend. For this week’s collab, both parties were involved in photography and poetry. That’s a talented pair! The photography and edits are beautiful and take the eyes on a journey through the words of the poetry. Absolutely stunning piece! Congrats to you both!

If you missed it, we will be reblogging this piece a few times throughout the week! Send your collaborations our way, and maybe you could be our #CollaboftheWeek next week! (Posts tagged #artisticcollaborations get special attention)

[aliveinsideinkk]

I am but a mirage on your skin

One of many, few of none

Wisp of misplaced thought

Soon forgotten,

Summarily dismissed

As trite and irrelevant in your eyes

As you are of utmost importance in mine.

A cry of despair

The death of my heart

I sink in dark.

No place is abandoned, I tried to tell her, Even as she showed me pictures of Her childhood home: stone cracked by windows, The light a panoply scattered through karst. She weeps at buttered words, tells me of the shadows She knows nothing bad happened there Researched with google-fu and yet and yet and so

I gather the coin and make the trek into brambled wood No bell, no book, no candle: just memories My grandfather left me, half-true, quiet. The house is half-consumed by nature Fighting a battle it refuses to lose Even the shadows scream of permanence. I speak the old rites of excorcism carefully Knowing that no place is abandoned Not while they can be haunted, and yet And yet I burn each memory away And it somehow seems kinder for the loss

She is not home when I return I think I am not surprised, wondering What was wanted of me and if I Too am now abandoned as well

Though every word I write turns backward there are still spaces I want to fill with the right tomorrow; Choking over every new name I still want to memorize what affection spells like; A dusty road A bargain endlessly resulting mostly in regret But may be there are still some words as untouched as an abandonment And I want to live for living those few caring words.

- Prompt by Nelson @aliveinsideink to kick away the writer’s block I have been facing since a month. Thank you so much!

reckless

the colours are late, i have not gathered what belongs into a semblance of human, for i am wild and grieved

growth is shameless and overwrought here, everything coils in this: a state of indecision to inhale is to choke

so i push— expel with violence lacking moral restraint \ is this wicked \ or uninhibited abandon

(Inspired by @aliveinsideink‘s photograph ‘The Abandonded’.

Poetry Riot Prompt (Week One Hundred Forty) 26 June - 2 July

We haven’t done an image prompt in a while and I think it’s high time to reintroduce it with an image from one of my favourite writers as well as a fantastic photographer, @aliveinsideink.

This piece is titled ‘The Abandoned’ and can be purchased on aliveinsideink‘s etsy shop along with many other of his wonderful pieces.

We are very grateful to @aliveinsideink​ for allowing us to use his artwork as a prompt. If you choose to incorporate the image itself in your post, please give proper credit to him or your piece will not be reblogged. Also, please do not use any other image in place of the one above as it would be discourteous to the artist.

As always, please tag your work with #poetryriotprompt. If you do not see your work reblogged within 72 hours, please send us a message with a link to it. If the tag is used but the idea or theme of the prompt isn’t, your piece will not be reblogged.

You may write as many pieces as you like for the prompt, only the first one you post will be reblogged.

If you haven’t already, please read our post  about the prompts and triggering topics. And please use the tag #poetryriot for pieces that are not prompt related and #riotprompts for past prompts. Thank you.

I am hanging, wet-heavy and heaving Bearing down, down, ever downwards From beating sun to slick swamped mud And clinging. I drag what I can, pull to the dirt The broiling, blooming mire To drown beneath the sludge Holding. Pressing The air lurks leaden. The orchid thrives.

Hidden

Isolated along the conifer lake Conceals a brick house in vines Dying trees without leaves Cast crooked shadows On the whisper of a face Hidden in a black and white place In the stark light shed From a sun glare sky

Inspired by @aliveinsideink's wonderful photography, "The Abandoned"

Cracking of the twigs echo in the silence, walking the path we once knew so well. I still hear the creak of the old wooden screen door, your perfume living in the air I smell. In a yellow sundress, a cool breeze laying your hair upon your lips. The depth of your eyes I lost myself in, only a small piece of things that I miss. Wild birds flying amidst the windows you once sung lullabies through at the moon. Pieces of the past decaying, with only the pain left reminding me what’s true. I scribed your image permanently with the tips of my hands, the foundation of this memory alone is what stands. The color drained from my soul when you were taken from me, I walk alone in this overgrown hell you now see.
