Wired


These thoughts, so many and so scattered
Are encircling my mind, suffocating me
From living my potential!

What do I want to be? Where do I want to go? Who am I?
Constantly pervade me, blocking me from moving on.

The more I think, the more I go crazy,
Oh, these thoughts will surely be my end!

All That Jazz!


I have been brought alive,
From this sweet Jazz
That blares with its trumpets and soothes with its saxophones,
Grabbing the attention of my feet
In tapping along to its rhythm.
From this heart and soul of Dixieland to the Midwest,
I am once again summoned to liveliness, from being tucked away in the Berkshires!

The Doors


What was that promise that you made
Is what I'm hearing
As I'm rewinding to the past
To its music, its times

Its sentiments

As I live in the present
Stuck in its rhythm
That gets made with each day, each moment
I wonder of the promises that we made

Are they real?

Haunting

Shadows everywhere
Follow me 
As I turn the street corner
A dead man is being shown his end
With others watching, as it haunts my imagination.

I await The Guardian of Lost Souls.

Beauty

Dawn approaches with its colors of Red, Yellow, and Pink,
On a spectacular evening, as I sit back and marvel at this beauty
Of the crisp blue waves, as they either come back to its familiarity of the land,
Or instead they carry these forgotten sentiments of land with them,
As they travel farther away, and into this beautiful sunset.

Rhyming Made Charming

Once upon a time
There was rhyme
Along with meter, rhythm, and description
Without a prescription

Now a bang, an alarm,
The third time's the charm
As I do no harm,
In writing.



For the Trifextra Writing Challenge this weekend, the idiom "Three time's a charm" was used in 33 words.

Changing

A seed
That when falling into the soil,
Grows and matures.

Like the rhythm of my heart
The essence of my core
Come into fruition
I look in your eyes, and feel your presence
Move ever so distant now

Getting trapped inside my own emotions
I now see a change
That begs me to pull away from you
As my desire for you fades away.

For the Scriptic  prompt exchange this week, Bewildered Bug gave me this prompt: Come to fruition..  

I gave Grace O'Malley this prompt: When I grew up

The Reality of an Appearance



You appear true
What would I know though,
In having such feelings,
Such overwhelming passion over you
I would then, naturally assume the best in you
Disregarding that you could be dark and a menace to society
A writhing wretch of destruction,
I would not think twice to be with you
To have a future with you
Yet though, there’s something else I see
Something else that I feel that beckons me to you
A sensation telling me that you are not dark and a menace
Or am I being tricked?

For the Trifecta Weekly Challenge http://www.trifectawritingchallenge.com/
this week, "appear" as having an outwardly aspect or seeming to be was used.

Pepsi!


Aye my life,
In a world wrought with strife
How do I begin to confess
Of my great distress,
Over Coca Cola versus Pepsi, in a world full of carbon
Which fizzes more?

For the Trifextra Writing Challenge this weekend, a 33 word confession had to be composed!

On Graduating

Underneath this winding loop of life is a new paradigm of hope
That after a long battle with gaining knowledge,
I have finally reached its infinite end,
As I taste its sweet honey!
