Poetry for Thought

I know i promised weekly updates, but haven't been able to write. But here is a piece I was working on, not happy with the finish, maybe will re-work over time.

 Title: Hit Repeat

I reach out my arms and touch you,

You hesitate; I hesitate.

You reach out to your glass,

With your other hand.

You hesitate; I hesitate.

Heart beats faster, even as I write this,

Thinking of you, your hesitation.

The room fills up, noises everywhere,

Yet, I only see you, hear you.

We leave, you leave,

Do you have to leave?

Don’t go screams my heart;

As I struggle to let go of your fingers around mine.

And in a flash, the evening comes to an end,

And I sit here hitting repeat on memories.

3ww: Week 465 (Writing Prompt): Tearful, Unsteady, Abrasive

It seems I always run back to Three Word Wednesday when I begin to revive this blog. So here is this week's writing prompt.

Title: Abrasive

Abrasive.

You are abrasive,

Your words dance between lullabies

And, and….abrasive.

You are unsteady,

You make me feel loved

And hated all at once.

How do you do that?

Make me feel safe yet vulnerable.

Words do not make sense,

But the word abrasive fits

Like a glove.

I stand in front of you,

You look at me and

I cannot stop the tears.

Tearful,

You make me tearful and

I lose my ground.

How do you do that?

Make me feel strong yet so weak.

Like a glove it fits,

That word, that one word

Slips between us and stays.

We are abrasive,

Our legs unsteady and

Our hearts tearful.

How do you do that?

Make it real when it isn’t.

How do you do that?

Makes our hearts scream and not our mouths.

How?

Well, here is another "new beginning" post

It has been a while since I wrote.

And ideas come and go; great ideas, but the heart and the words haven’t connected.

I attended a writing workshop, wrote with a pen. And still here I am, trying to write. Still.

So today I thought I should just start typing/writing.

2015 was the most painful. Too many things happened. Found a new job. Lost a lot of people. Loads of heart break. And cliché as cliché can get, healing is the first order of things. Writing and reading too. So I will update something here every Thursday from this week. Poetry. Rants. Just general blogging things.

Well, that’s it for now. See you next week.

3ww: Week 444 (Writing Prompt): Fatal, Glimmer, Impartial

Hello World,

Slowly reviving this blog, I hope this is a good start.
Writing prompt from my favourite blog: Three Word Wednesday

Title: Once upon a time

Once upon a time
Impartial was a word used right.
Once upon a time
Unconditional was a word used wrong.

Now, we try to remember
New words, to replace old feelings.
Now, too much has happened
And we have forgotten.

Words, words, words
Glimmer and die a slow death.
And our eyes are left screaming
And exploding with unsaid words.

What do you do now?
What do we do?
Remember to forget
Or forget to remember?

Once upon a time
We had finesse,
Once upon a time
Our words weren't fatal.

Once upon a time
The end was a rarity,
And today,
Once upon a time is a rarity.

Something

"Do not fall in love with people like me.
I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth.
I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people."
