Lines written for #FromOneLine 301
We kissed one last time
For words coated our lips
We didn’t know how
To speak them aloud
So, we embraced silence
In moments of goodbye.
Goodbye

Doomsday
Lines written for #FromOneLine 299
Earth stopped its spin
For chances were slim
That the dust would heal
The skies could conceal
Such wide devastation
Destructive intervention
Of the ones who ruled
As masters of doom.
In destined departure
From a promised Rapture
The oceans spilled over
And mountains cowered
When a blue planet swore
It could bear no more!
Change
Lines written for #FromOneLine 289
Without notice,
The morning took a turn;
I swiftly changed my course
To pursue it beyond the bend
Truth be told, it was needed
This change of events
I pranced behind it
Eager to see, where it lead
Maybe away from the madness
Of the daily grind,
That dare beckons us each day
Into our miserable existence.
Fireworks
Lines written for #FromOneLine 287
There is something in the walls
The swirls: Moving inside
Changing colors
A strobe here
A flash there
As eons rush past
Behind the barricades
Of this world
And the others
Beyond reach
It’s surprising how vivid
Fireworks can seem
To the drowning eyes
Of a refugee
Just rest

The wind sways
Languid branches
With a gentle lullaby
And dreams pause a bit
On verdant beds
So that they can put
Chaos to rest
And let not nightmares
Be conjured from within
The darkening forests
Of doubt and despair
