Turn out the light
Feel Darkness crawl up
Your lap and cuddle
In the warmest embrace
Whisper about the scars
Let them out, the tears
With your deepest fears
When the words are done
Let it slip away, gently
Into the night, bearing
The heaviness of one
With stories never to be told
Lines written for #FromOneLine 309
It wasn’t exactly flavorless
The lingering touch of our lips
It tingled with sweet regret
Tasted a bit like sour guilt
A moment never meant to be
Had now opened doors;
The Desires sneaked in
Giggling, whispering, smirking
Uncontrolled, unabashed
Unrelenting; and I feared
Whatever will they think of next!

Just like yesterday
Today ends with fatigue.
For hustle has consumed
The last remnants of rest
And what it once meant
To pause and reflect!
Lines written for #FromOneLine 302
Trees whispered a secret
Wrapped in a gentle breeze
Or in a stormy embrace
We chose not to listen
In hubris, so human
Forgetting who heals
With roots running deep;
Keepers of our land,
These storytellers stand
Now in silent despair
Of words lost forever.
Lines written for #FromOneLine 300
Once upon a time
Wisdom whispered to me,
“Trust the process,
Practice the pause;
Do not brood over
What’s beyond control!”
So I embraced silence
But grief and fear
Gathered in my throat –
A heavy knot that choked
All remnants of hope.
Then, unable to breathe
Immensely fatigued
I set them all free –
Dreams, desires, wishes.
Maybe now it will find me –
My happily ever after.
