The earth opened up before me
Yet it didn’t swallow me whole
It took everything I tried to hold
A landslide of out of my control
Carving its path of destruction
As I watched on from the front row

Lifetime Debits ~ #Haiku string
Fundamentally
We know it to be all true
Yet we do nothing
Save inconveniences
Up like a living trust fund
Collecting your change
Life in denial
Banking there’s a tomorrow
Cashing out sorrow
News Update ~ #Haiku string
I do wish I cared
More about our world affairs
Let’s play truth or dare
Truth of the matter
I care enough that it’s tough
Watching the corrupt
Dare I say we’re split
Between democracy and
Lost humanity
Our nation is great
The people have what it takes
So why do we wait
We are infested
With blood sucking fleas and ticks
Let’s eradicate
…the continuation of yesterday’s Haiku quoted at the top.
Nightfall
Chasing sun rays
That inevitably escape
At the end of each day
Soon darkness invades
Hurry run the other way
It’s not too late
Try and stay awake
Watching shadows play
Tricks as demons slay
No Victors #Peace
How many of you
Are willing to give and take
As we continue
To have this killing debate
Without a championship
One Word Photo Challenge: Ceiling
All of these feelings
Are trapped against the ceiling
Holding my love within a noose
Under humility’s roof
Folded within a paper house
Sealed forever in doubts
Right out of the Victorian era
Shrouded in night terrors
A tale thousand times told
You know how the story goes
Table tops and book covers
Nestled in the corner as lovers
Collecting dust and growing old
In response to Jennifer Nichole Wells one-word-photo-challenge: ceiling
Inhalation
Art by: Alessio Albi
Navigating aquatic passageways
Following the muted light rays
Shining above the calm surface
Breaking through with purpose
Tangled in life’s painful ropes
Restricting the breath of hope
Sinking back into depths below
Following channels that flow
Emerging over and over again
Frightened kids, we call men
Struggling to swim upstream
A daily occupational regime
In response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie – Photo Challenge #120
