Writing Prompt

Chocolate and candies,

Cats purring loudly,

Candles unburdened

Could it be Love?

Courage unbound

Crystal clear truths,

Clouds shaped like tears,

Could it be You?

Castles of sand,

Cupcakes too sweet,

Coffee in bed,

Could it be me?

Cities that burn!

Circus of death!

Cars hitting walls!

Could it be War?

Crying for help

Cruel as the dark,

Compassion that saves,

Could it be Life?

Carrying me Ho...

“May I?”He murmured sweetly

Maybe so, I replied jokingly meekly

Mother will be watching, busy as ever

Making herself look bustling and clever

Man up, I teased and don’t be a sissy

Mother’s kind, but fathers tricky

Mind his size and move with care

Meet his eyes? Best beware

Marshmallow he is not be quick

Mean and fierce he won’t miss a trick

Make it fast if it’s a kiss you’re after

Mark my words...

Bittersweet it is to glance up on you

Beauty beheld in your eyes that perhaps I have only seen

Breath up on my cheek I yearn to feel

Brutal it is not to know the taste of your lips

Break after break I feel a piece of my heart fall off

Blossom I wish we would

But we should not even touch, or look at one another for too long

Bodily urge to land to a flock of touch upon your face

Beast of my desire...

I messed up again

Isn't it lovely to the dark,

Inconsiderate to the light.

I mean, how did I get here

In one moment I'm laughing,

In an instant, I'm back.

In what world is that sane?

Is this normal or what?

Instructions anyone?

I'm starting out.

Is anyone hiring?

(I say sarcastically)

I guess this is what failure feels like.

I know this is what failure feels like.

In this moment I want to crawl,...

Jam spilling off your wheat bread,

Joke that you had too much to drink,

Jar still sitting on your bed.

Jealousy’s fine, but so is trust,

Just don’t let promises turn to dust,

Jet-legged and high, they say we must.

Jackets are out of season,

Jaded, I search for a reason.

Journaling with my head in your lap,

Juice drips down your back,

Jaw perfectfly in-tact.

Jail won’t be the end of this figh...

Kiss me until the sea runs dry

Kneel with me and watch the sky

Keen eyes see feelings buried deep down

Kind hearts fill with love until they drown

Kerosene surrounds us, engulfing us in flames

Knots of my longing for you tighten, is this one of cupids cruel games?

Keeping you close, in the warmth of our fire

Kind of knew our relationship would turn out dire

Knives cut deep, fire burns through,...

Easy for you to say

Enjoy, go with the flow

Eagles fly free of restraint

Elephants already move slow

Ecosystems they’re made for

Elsewhere in this vast world

Except I’m standing too close

Edge of a cliff, my stress and

Enjoyment are blurred

Enough I say, I relate to

Endangered species too much

Everything’s great until the

Environment loses its touch

Emptiness doesn’t fit in my schedule

Each ho...

Light, they grasp at, claw at,

Licking their bodies, just silhouetted

Loitering in whatever happiness they can see

Larvas with a need of something they have not experienced

Living in the moment

Loyal and true

Lavish sunlight, skies dark blue

Lasting moments of new life

Lively dances at the break of dawn

Lemon pies in the evening

Lovely sunrises to admire

Late nights singing around a fire

Lest ...

Constantly worrying.

Carrying invisible weight on you shoulders.

Can’t seem to forget.

Can’t forget the pain.

Can’t forget that bone crushing feeling.

Crumbling into bed every night.

Crashing like a wave into the world of dreams.

Cluttering thoughts go away there.

Climbing up to forget.

Crackling away slowly like the wick of a candle back to real life.

Crying as you wake up, wishing you didn’t.

Ca...

Forever I feel lost,

For as long as the world spins I will have no place.

For such a time, waiting would feel like decades,

For there is no place in this world for me.

Forever I feel like an unfinished puzzle,

Forgotten as there is no point,

For finding the missing piece is too time consuming.

Forgetting is easier.

Forever I feel broken,

Fragile and cracked beyond repair,

For glue is not en...
