What If?

MM

1 min read

I walk quietly under the azure sky

The white cotton clouds holding dreams of promise.

Transforming with each passing whisper of time


I pause, mesmerized by the illusion,

As the clouds darken, twisting into something sinister

Foretelling of the maelstrom to come.


The sky fractures in grief,

As the gods weep a river of sadness

Obscuring dreams, flooded with regret


If only I had grasped the po...

The Voice

MM

1 min read

I lay here in darkness alone in the night,

Fear for my blanket, my eyes open wide.


Hush now there, don’t despair as you sleep.

I’m here, right beside you, watching you breathe


I tighten my grip on the fear that surrounds me

Where is the voice that whispers so loudly


Hush, now there, I’m here in the shadow.

Give me your fears, as I lay down beside you.


My body is frozen. Why can’t I escape?...

Ice Skating

MM

1 min read

The blade cuts deep, hard and fast

A trail of destruction wrapped up in a dance.

A story of scars, map my body,

Skating on ice, for you, such a hobby.

A twist and a turn, the blade cuts so deep Carving a path through my heart, starting to bleed.

Red meets white, and the dance starts to slow.

This love of ours, was nothing but a show...

Please Forgive Me

MM

1 min read

I wish I’d never let go

As we danced in the moonlights eternal glow

A song of lovers, or friends or foe

The roles became twisted

So long ago


I wish I had known how the dance would end

Tumbling down, again and again

The memory of steps burned into my heart

A beautiful picture, of spiteful art


I wish I’d never let go that night

As the sky turned pale, with morns first light

Exposing the truth ...

Deaths Dance

MM

1 min read

Love at first sight

Not pausing for breath,

As we danced through the night

To tango with death


The gods playing chess

Writing fate with the stars,

The thrill, I confess

Pulled at my heart


Souls intertwined

In a play still unread,

To walk through time

That had already, been spent


Your hand slipped away

As death took his dance.

Whisking you from me

The rhythm too fast


I fell too my knees

An...

Dissolving To Fly

MM

1 min read

Slip sweetly to slumber

Assured of yourself,

Cocooned in your chamber

Hidden from self


Sit in the soup

Dissolving each day

Nothing to remember

Who you were yesterday


The days wearing on

As your skin starts to change,

A memory of crawling

To a goal in the haze


Constantly searching

To transform and fly

Now swimming in trauma

Waiting to dry


Feeling so cramped

In this old, worn out skin

Cracki...

Lessons from the ocean

MM

1 min read

Do you see the infinite possibilities,

Reflected in a beach of glass.

An illusion of reality

Washing away, like a mask.


Do you hear my call for silence

Brought forth upon crashing waves,

Bringing you to stillness

In a mind that’s always crazed.


Do you pause upon the open sand

Waiting to be consumed.

All marks of history soon erased

Time slipping through your hands.


Do you hear the lessons t...

Becoming

MM

1 min read

To see the face of I,

Reflected through time.

An echo of who I was

A shadow of my mind


An anchor in the storm,

Ripping open all that’s mine.

Grasping onto patterns

Without them, I’ll surely die


Clinging to the lies

That They stand apart

From I

Dissolving into nothing

As everything fills my mind


Twisting through the darkness

Touching all that is

Reflections of existence

Is how I now exis...

The Spell

MM

1 min read

Sink or swim

Twist and turn

Shake a little from the urn


Ask for this

Beg for that

Pull a rabbit from the hat


Ask for wishes

Sweet as honey

Add a little dash of money


Swirling round, In cosmic twists

Breath deeply now

The rising mists


Pouring gently

Glug, plink, plop

Careful now! Don’t spill a drop


One last prayer,

Potion sealed

Divine above let’s make a deal?...

First Bloom

MM

1 min read

She had waited a while,the seed in the ground

Wondering , when and if and how


Would her turn come to bloom at first light

Would it be now or would it be night.

How was she destined to bloom on this land

Would it be quiet or incredibly grand?


In depths oh so dark,

Her feet became restless

Twisting and turning, it seemed so suggestive.

Others around searched for the light

While she still hid deep...
