Writing Prompt

I’m building bridges out of broken days,

Stacking hope on every prayer I raise.

Not chasing love, but letting it bloom,

When the right heart walks into my room.

It’s not just wishing on falling stars,

It’s healing the past and all its scars.

I’m not rushing fate or watching the clock,

I’m just shaping myself, solid as rock.

One day she’ll come — soft smile, strong light,

And I’ll be ready, with ...

I float.

Above, above, above,

Out of my body

Sometimes I forget that the words have to have thoughts behind them,

that they won’t just burble out in neat, cursive lines

I wish I could be floating,

not here in my body.

Not here,

picked over by the vultures of scorching desert eyes

Not here, grappling with the unruly _concepts_

that refuse to be harnessed into real words.

words that are understood...

Takes his heart away

Removes him from his earthly body,

Dying to fly away.

With a touch to his lips It’s too easy

To make it all dissapear

A momentary lapse in judgment,

An intoxicating fear.

What better way to drown it, the bottle hits his lips. the Further down it’s pushed , the more his world flips.

When the clock strikes midnight

And I’ve retired to my slumber,

My heart escapes and takes flight

Ascending to a world of wonder

I travel to realms beyond my own,

Jumping on clouds as I go

My private refuge, yet I don’t feel alone

I dance on the stars,

My dreams play the most ethereal song

Who knew a place so far

Would be where I truly belong

All is forgotten be...

High above the city, FINALLY where No one can judge

where I can almost touch the clouds

& walk around proud & not have to be so tough

I can freely be me, messy and carefree

I’m high above the city tonight finally not mending broken hearts but considering healing me

It’s my turn now maybe i can finally spread MY wings

A pendulum swings

The sun and the moon flirt

Above the world

A man stands atop a building

Looking deep into the veins

Of the city below

The emptiness between him

And all else

Pushing him back from the roofs edge

A formless force

like those moments between joy and sorrow

suspended in time

sometimes he feels like a collection of dust

an accidental form

looming in some corner

a regurgitation...

with its panoramic view!

For now, this holein the wall will just have to do!

Look around!

What a sensation!

Let’s not freak. Let’s look at the view

I can even say I see the SEA!

Mom? Did you rent this place

From AirBnB?

Plenty of water

On your daughter!...

I am high above the city

I am free and blissfully so

I am high above the city

The birds sing as the wind blows

I am high above the city

The sky oh so blue

I am high above the city

But ah, who knew?

Who knew the freedom of the sky,

Would start with a goodbye?

Would end with me falling,

Falling, calling

Out to anyone who would listen

Being high above the city,

The lights and sound drowned out

Isn’t ...

Both of us were silent...
