HIDING IN MY ROOM.
When I hide myself away from the world,
I go inside my room,
I'm like a frightened little bird,
Hiding from the moon.
I'm afraid of what's going on outside,
And I don't want to be involved,
So inside my room I try to hide,
And pray my worries will dissolve.
Inside my room I'm all alone,
And I'm safe inside these walls,
A sanctuary of wood and stone,
Where no one ever calls.
Inside my room, it is so quiet,
And I feel complete and whole,
In thoughts I drift into the night,
And I listen to my soul.
But I know I must come out some day,
And live among living,
I can't keep myself all locked away,
I can't take without some giving.
But into my room I will return,
And again I will be free,
It's guiding light will forever burn,
Just calling out to me.

My own heart Is taking my breath away Earthly dance One hand holds an iris The other a dagger
Balance I wish I could share You had nothing but strength So I will handle you gently Show you the Moon In the late morning sky

don't go
I need you
I am needing you
more than you'll ever know.

sunrise unearths
a gaping hole inside me
grappling for the edge
stranded in the past
sitting in the present
petals mulched underfoot
sticky liquor bottles
remnants of adventure
evidence of you
being here
romantic with me
last night
but no sign of you today
an unfinished song
a half-written poem
not even a whispered goodbye
just a faint echo of the lock clicking
and the memory of your back
as the sun continues rising
erasing any indication
that you and i ever existed

Down Memory Lane
How the days have gone by
In times when hopes were high
Laugher, fun, free till a tummy cry
With dreams in land of sweet lullaby
Worthy truant, a caning would pass by
Two wheeler iron horse deny
The rivalry for my maiden shy
A knight in armor bravely defy
Any challenger too daring to try
Spoken for, witnessed by the sky
Today, I walk my memory lane to testify
To the goodness and kindness to glorify
A guardian in life providence sanctified
To return love for the love thus gratified
Binding in spirit and soul as one unified

Emergence
In this dim cave
under busy city streets
you might follow
the right echo
on its swerving
stretching journey
past grabbing shadows
and sizzling tar pits
so far
into expansive
sunlit meadows
covered with swaying
smiling black eyed susans
and there you might pause
to listen more closely
to the fizzy hum
of honey bees
and the luminous
spread of life.
 Something inside you
begins to glow
like the face of the moon
emerging from the veil –
peering through parting mounds of vapor.

Thank You for tagging me @27paperlilies  I’ve never put together an aesthetic before and have no clue what I’m doing, but it was fun trying.

Thanks for the prompt. I'm a bit under the weather and drugged up right now. Been dealing with some sort of rash for a week now and the antihistamines I'm taking to keep from ripping my skin off with my claws are doing a number on my head. Sleepy and confused for now. Can I get a raincheck?
Sounds like great material for a poem, let me know when you're done!

DANCING WITH A LEPRECHAUN.
When you are dancing with a Leprechaun,
The Leprechaun calls the tune,
He will use you as a pawn,
Beneath a blood-red moon.
He will promise you your wildest dreams,
And tell you your the only one,
But beware, all's not as it seems,
And of you he's making fun.
He is charming and beguiling,
He's as slick as oily eels,
He'll bewitch you when he's smiling,
As he dances jigs and reels.
He will fill you up with poteen,
Till you don't know your religion,
He will dress you all in green,
And have you cooing like a pigeon.
And as the moon begins to wane,
The sun rising in the east,
He'll befuddle your poor brain,
For he's a cruel and nasty beast.
You will wake up far from home,
With a sore and aching head,
You'll be cold and all alone,
And far from your nice warm bed.
So never dance with a Leprechaun,
He will trick you and beguil,
He will laugh and call you amadawn,
And at your troubles he will smile.

true form
Early morning light Finds something sacred Would you mind trading secrets? We do not have long
True form, you are The artist and the art Treasure the stolen days There is a grin, ready To tear innocence apart

My preciousness..
I might have came in the world empty handed
But my mother gave me a piece of her heart
Which grew as mine not hers
But whenever it got broken my mothers heart felt the pain too
I might have came in the world empty handed
But my father gave me his eyes
And they say,' I have beautiful eyes', but its not mine its his
But whenever I tried to hide the pain he felt and saw it no matter what
I might have came in the world empty handed
But my parents never wanted to see me cry or heart broken
I believe when i'm hurt, its never just me
But still there's more to see and feel with or without them

seagull sorrows
blue hues
smooth views
i lost my place
up here in this space
shifting through clouds
etched upon terrains below
is the home of cries and sorrow
something tells me i’m not ready
so i keep flight
long into the night

How Did We Fail?
Has time lost its true meaning
Is it still telling time, and moving
Did we fail, stuck deeply in the past
With our mind roaming too far ahead
Where did we fail?
Why are we digging and cleaning
Busying, our nature to stop loving
Inventions to release the big blast
Hurting, satisfied only when dead
Why did we fail?
Complaints, critically demeaning
Left to die, no point for a roving
Let it be, it’s not meant to last
Unheard of? Or left unread?
What did we fail?
Trees felled, deprived of greening
Man’s conscience, gone revolving
Life has been imprisoned, aghast!
Time and nature have been misled
When did we fail?
