A Dagger Engraved With Art

Trust is a dagger

Every rose has thorns, right?

What a grand dagger...

Rain Would Drown The Song Out Anyways

Skye Wander

1 min read

I don’t think I’ll ever hear that song again

That song that feels like rain

And broken glass

That song that feels like pain

And lying in grass

That song sounded nice

I couldn’t hum it though

And when I roll the dice

The d20 always rolls low

Simple enough to call it a game

More complicated to play it

Simple enough to dance in the rain

More complicated to sit

My window is still cracked

No matter how...

Berries And Gears

Skye Wander

1 min read

Fields of grass

Waving gently in the breeze

Stand up

Look around

Sit down again

Nothing and nobody

Emptiness

Quiet

A stone on the ground beside me

Baskets of strawberries

A picnic

Yet my friend hasn’t arrived yet

The stone isn’t any stone

A gust tustles my hair

As I look at the grave

Of my friend

Eat a strawberry

Put one on the ground for her

Remember the gears turning in her head

Screws and cogs ...

I am losing my grip on reality

Everything is a

Lie

But every lie is based in

Truth

And every truth is made from

Reality

Now reality is

Keep walking

Almost at the bus stop

Wait.

You don’t take the bus

You’ve never taken the bus before

WHERE AM-

“Where’s your mind?”

Your mother asks you

On the way to school

You’ve been listening to something

It’s not the noise blaring thr...

The Clean Up Guy

Skye Wander

1 min read

It’s the middle of November and I’m trudging through three feet of snow because, much to my dismay, bodies don’t just bury themselves.

No one ever cares about the clean up guy do they? Everyone’s always like, ‘oh no, someone’s dead!’ And no one’s ever like, ‘oh no, the clean up guy has so much work to do.’

My current client loves killing people on the worst ways. At least she pays instead of thr...

(These are two poems I wrote that kinda fit the prompt, one from about 6 months and one a few days ago.)

**The thing about loving**

So… what’s it like to be in love?

As someone who is deeply in

love

with someone else

I’m terrified of the answer.

Everyone who I could ask

Well tell me she’s

Straight.

When I ask her

She tell me she doesn’t want a

Relationship.

She’d hate me if she knew,

I’ve...

Prying Eyes Safely Hide The Truth

Skye Wander

1 min read

Eyes encrusted with gold close

The soft sound of strumming

Can be heard the air

The worn paper mask you wear

Falls

As does the costume

We both wear

The pictures that prove us

Friends

But when no one is watching

We seem

Distant

And

You

Are not the same

And it’s all my fault

That you love me so much.

I don’t know why

Or how

But I’m the only one who could’ve done this.

I’m sorry, my friend

Dandelions

The soil is damp from morning rain. This place is so peaceful. Clouds float above the grass that is gently swaying in the wind. Connie looks around at this place. Two years ago she wouldn’t have recognized it, wouldn’t have really believed in it.

Coming from the city to the field is like suffocating and finally finding oxygen. This is her favorite place to be. Maybe it’s a bit of her being franti...

Cut It Out

(Loosely fits the prompt)

Get out of my head

I say

I scream

Or maybe the words

We’re just part of the dream

Maybe the school of ash

Was real

And my whole life isn’t.

Maybe I’ll-

NO.

I am awake.

I AM AWAKE.

I am awake

i am awake

“I know you’re watching me.” The girl on the other side with two brown braids steps back. Funny, she didn’t expect me to see her, did she? “I know you’ve been following me, but here’s the thing, whenever you try to chase me, I just get further and further away, so why don’t you just give up?”

Her eyes widen. “So you’re the villain everyone’s been talking about?” I raise my eyebrows, amused.
