Sleepless

Insomnia – Oil on Canvas by Joanna Aslanian

#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 14

Breathless whispers, now
Fade to murmurs; white noise
Sleep eludes again
Insomnia’s lonely ache
Embraced by crochet afghans.

Nostalgia


#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 13

Yonder hills touch gently
Zephyr of forgotten days
Pine-filled aroma
From cottages, musky and old
Reminds of stories once told

Promises


#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 12

When the fog rolls in,
The mist embraces all of me
Warm, clammy, musky;
Wild scent of broken promises
Permeates, as muted sighs.

Passage of time


#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 11

Earth brims with vigor
Dramatic sweep of eons;
Sonorous whispers:
Today, its chest heaves, burdened,
With fallen beige autumn leaves.

Sunset


#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 10

Consuming it whole
The ocean gulps down the sun
Easing its bright pain
Amongst corals, pearls, it rests
Silent ashes of gold dust
