Sanctuary

My universe will always lay,
Centered beneath the moon,
In that quiet, unassuming way,
The sun has never mastered.

A Deeper Bond Than Love

Every day, you dig deeper into my crevices,
You heal through all of my imperfections.
I read you my pile of heart felt choruses,
Together, we give each other balance.

I am your stars,
You are my sea.
We’ve laid bare our scars,
On the ultimate journey.

Entrapment

The snow sticks to my eyebrows,
As the puffy flakes rain above me.
The mud freezes on the surrounding sloughs,
I hike to higher ground amongst the trees.

He traps us here within the brumous air,
Hoping our bodies are never found.
He is special kind of monster,
Teeth and bones glitter the ground.

It is him against me,
To the death.

Weekly Photo Prompt – February 2nd

This is my photo prompt for the week. I hope we both find some inspiration within it.

A Winter Day

The ice beneath us,
Pinches our skin.
Our hibernation is precious,
Or we never rise as Queens.

We must rage,
Against the dying light.
To find courage,
Within the blooming night.

Word of the Week – January 24th – Anaxiphilia

Here is my ‘word of the week’, to learn new words and give myself writing prompt opportunities. This week it is: ‘Anaxiphilia’. I didn’t find this in the merriam dictionary but I did find it on the urban slang website. Therefore, I am counting this as a new word.

Wilted

I want to bleed at your feet,
Until you see the real me.
Anaxiphilia.

I want to dissect your defences,
Until you let me in.
Danger.

I want to carve out my heart,
Until you promise to take it with you.
Capture.

Northern lights

The auroral symphony plays overhead,
The chill has burrowed beneath my shell,
I am a fly caught in the spider’s thread,
The brilliance of a lifetime in its spell.

Word of the Week – January 3rd – Metanoia

Here is my ‘word of the week’, to learn new words and give myself writing prompt opportunities. This week it is: ‘Metanoia’.

Harbinger

The crows used to beck at me,
To join their crusade of scavengers,
But I could never join their revelry,
Join their band of body butchers.
Until one day, the day the food died.

We had to shed our paranoia,
And settle for a world of survival.
We embraced the coming metanoia,
The coming, ‘kill or be killed revival’.
Their blood flowed until it petrified.

And then I ate the world.

A Haunting in December

Every year in December,
I remember the bows we tied
and the presents we’d hide,
Even now, I think of her.

Her laugh drew us in,
Like moths to the flame,
We knew we’d never be the same,
I’d move hell to see her again.
