Bustle

Katherine Byrnes

1 min read

From the rainwater on the street corners dripping into the drains,

To the steam from the hubs.

Light catching red, strays will walk,

When it catches green, the whole neighborhood is crossing.

A hush mellow yet loud decible chatter scatters across the crosswalks and side streets.

Multiple conversations happening

Many destinations to go in the bustle....

Generations rooted in times of royalty, feudalism, lack of indoor plumbing, and suddenly one marries a Duke or one of means then that branches off another part of the family that is well to do. Another son or daughter marries a non-blood spouse and then is multiple branches with t...

Cutting Edge

Katherine Byrnes

1 min read

Flowers wilt, roses fade


Diamonds are rough and remain the same.


Mushrooms like cheddar ages


Strength of Diamonds rages.


Diamonds are beautiful, but they are also strong.


Can cut through the heart of the steely individual.


Shines vibrantly and never subject to a scratch.


Seen in beautiful images and awful parts of history where its clamoured over.


These diamonds are cutting edge, beautiful...

Oh Hi

Katherine Byrnes

1 min read

Riding high on the sails of discovery


Through the forest and trees of life


The roads of familiarity


Going through the motions of mediocrity


Comes rediscovery when something you loved before but not quite understood the value


Becomes new once again, appreciated in growth, value and not a far memory that is distant in thought or feeling.


Oh hello, Oh hi, welcome home....

Gaze

Katherine Byrnes

1 min read

Blind in the daylight but as the moonlight shones on the bay, I can see everything. I can gaze at people, I swiftly move away or have knowledge of things that humans grandiously state they have or see all but no I see all of it.


Nobody can see me at night while I see them, thats true power.


My feet can touch upon surface and im fabled, hardly ever perceived except in stories.


Yeah humans cant ...

The Edge of Somewhere

Katherine Byrnes

1 min read

Jennifer Freeman is the kind of girl who always knows what to do or say, whether its in her own life or the lives of friends and people that she knows. However, on this bright Sunday morning, in what looks like a penthouse suite floor to ceiling windows, nice and bright, looking deliciously expensive, she awoke with a strange tattooed arm over her middle, snuggling close into her. She half way wan...

Romance

Wildfire

Katherine Byrnes

1 min read

If desire are a flame, then I am a wildfire.


It spreads coursing through my bloodstream, into every capillary, every vein


It flows through every nerve ending


It wants, it never wanes, it pulses like a heartbeat


Its neverending


And once experienced one is never the same.


Its like a wildfire, spreading through every untouched area in sight & fulfilled until nothing is left....

Contrary

Katherine Byrnes

1 min read

Contrary to the popularized notion


Contrary to what society thinks


Contrary to what my mind says


Contrary to what flips my heart does,


Contrary to perspectives


Contrary to perception


Contrary to all fantasies


I am opening mine eyes to what the truth is.


The truth is, contrary to popular thought, I am stronger than I look....

All Hallows Eve

The night was dark, pitch black unlike anything found on Bob Ross’ infamous painting color palette that translated to the painting surface.


The night was especially foggy, you could see the hazy grey’ish swirls dance throughout the sky and anytime it touched a street light, it dances around the light into a thick rain that promises illusions and what you wont be able to see.


A couple of house s...
