Dread

Recurrent nightmares
Lurking in the gray shadows
Crevices of the mind
Spilling reminiscent fears
Eyes glaze over in terror

Red

A tender heart bleeds
Mellowed pomegranate wine
Connoisseurs of love
Making luscious memories
Delectable afternoons

Life


#NaPoWriMo
#GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 6

Time swiftly rushes by
Leaving silver in my hair
Worry lines buried
Many furrows running deep
Battle wounds on my forehead

Memories


#NaPoWriMo
#GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 5

Let memories shed
Like caducous filaments
Not burrow so deep
Into the crevices and nooks
Of my shredded, bleeding heart

Fatigue

Just like yesterday
Today ends craving for rest
Hustle has consumed
Moments to pause and reflect
The mind is stunned by fatigue
