Moonlight Confessions

You mask it as solicitous care
But who mandated you to decide
What's wrong for me, and what is right?

You paint an abstraction of my life
Dream fortunately fixable fallouts
But here's my confession, Babe:

I fixed the door.
It opens no more.

Disintegrated Doubts

My disintegrated doubts
are no resolution of delight
no promise to revivify

My disintegrated doubts
are a reclamation
of uncharted territory

Frostbite her only companion, she leans against the icy rocks on the bottom of the precipice. Life won't wait as time longs for balance. Tiredness turns into fatigue, then into unconsciousness. Her last thought is no prayer, but a dream that shifts her into a new reality.

You gotta go with the tides.
Replenish when the surf comes in.
Let go when the water leaves.
Shoot for peace.

And what if you don't make it
until the next wave?
Well, shoot.
Too late.

Bells are ringing on my alarm, as wannabe romance beckons me to jump in with the choir.

Too bad. Not every wish comes true.

Forgettery? - Bah!
My brain might be foggy (not from mirth), but pain has its own way to be remembered.

Plans busted over, and over, again, here I stand, singing an ode to happenstance.

@whistberry

At the core of silken memory dwells the rock bottom of raucous intrusion. Humbly we put on rose-coloured glasses, and apologetically soothe the edges to then wonder, why we feel homesick. But only the restless warriors bear a chance to truly know their place.

During a phone call, I reminisce about the past, and suddenly feel humble. Yes, I yearn for having dodged the avalanche. I didn't. Call it destiny. I'm still standing - broken, and beautiful.

Another Year

Another year is ending, making me wonder how I got here, so fast.
A lot of waiting, though expanding the moment, accelerated the timeline.
Waiting for what?
Waiting for things to move that were beyond my control.

Another year is...

The first frost, bundled up in scarf and mittens, mistletoe memories melting fast as a cold Winter sun illuminates egregious shadows.

No regret.

I still wouldn't surrogate reality for some fairytale fantasy.

I don't regret the egregious things done to me by the hands of frigid hearts. Productive fatalism can't match my standards.

Here's the magic:
I encourage weakness, for it is wherein true strength lies. Never will I surrogate integrity for gimcrack jingles

She examined the frosty muzzles pointing at her, as if to familiarise with the challenge of the moment. There was no need for a recall, though. She had the tradition down all too well. To turn around, and walk away, was alluring. Instead, she just stood there, and focussed on that she really was, on that all really was:
Love.

Armors started to sparkle when a warm impulse...

That boho glint in my eye.
A whiff of an idea, that virgin evolves to vixen.
The terminal disillusionment of a brotherly wet dream.
This is not who I am.

Footprints in the snow, falling on an old lane, glinting beneath a monotonous sky. A candle on evergreen. Nutcracker playing. A memory never made, snugly nestled in my mind.

Skipping monotonous, the page turned itself directly from chocolate, and mistletoe kisses, to describing the apogee of who we were. A place to call home turned into whiteout survival. A hearth cold as stone, where worry pretty much became the new normal. Perception turned upside-down for one, caused bruises on the other. Indigo hues bled into wintertide's...

Favourite Things

The things I love aren't bold, or fancy.
It's rather the shy, and silent aspects of life, that draw my attention.
A wisp of sunlight falling through the blinds, offering a spotlight to dancing dust particles.
The rain thrumming a soft beat on the roof.
Branches of bare trees drawing patterns into...

As I pull up my stockings, I won't wish for snow. I'll just act as if apricity was a fact, once I set foot under the grey sky with its apricot tinge that only Winter holds.

Passing by coloured lights of cars in the traffic, I notice, how I resist residual horror that's saying one last goodbye. Taking a deep breath, I...

Wake your dreams, they say. They wouldn't, if they knew my nightmares. Christmas party punch numbs the awareness for how the gravity of choices chosen splits more than just a fruit cake - pretending good will by offering what never can be any consolation.

Clouds

When we were clouds meandering the sky, a lightning bolt taught us the art of disappearing. Listing into opposing directions, our lagging behind could not prevent the rift. But fire, though a peculiar gift wrap, cleanses before destruction, until nothing artificial remains. Now, rain is my consolation, until the mountain...

One silent night, blankets on the sofa, a mug of cocoa, a book title suggested by a magazine: Saffron Spices And You.

I believe in auguries. So, I'm anticipating my next cuppa will be golden milk with cinnamon, and black pepper.

Should We?

We should have stopped the moment it started. Alas, we didn't. 'Neath a vespertine sky, we moved towards the foreseeable destination, as if ache, not chivalry, was the best morning gift awaiting. Everyday miles unending, I am learning with age, to close the door faster. Gladly...

At the closing of an aphotic age, time tried again.

What's this?

The spark took time. Once steady, the circle traced ends in the glow of the snow. A chivalrous sheen took shape.

Our mind, the enemy of magic, they say. Yet, I mind the fairy lights in a vespertine sky. Yet, the sleigh bells ringing in the night matter to me. Aged packages unopened, I choose to pull the ribbon.

LUST REVOKED

Exhausted I stare at the puddle
with a cleaning rag in my hand
as I see a whale emerge
turning lustre to shade
Bravado flattens
departure fades
new chores loom
