#poetryriotprompt

[cainsbook]

dia de los demonios

it’s the season of the spirits

vodka ghosts and rum

they eat up all the ripened fruit

and claim they found it on the ground

a shadow in the periphery

flowers disappointed on the mound

they’ll sink teeth into your chest

when you try to run

ten cuidado cuando mirar en el espejo

puedes encontrar

the poltergeist is you

sigue buscando

no puedes verlo, ¿verdad?

it was always you

[poetryriot]

are you ... back? might there be, perhaps, a poetryriotprompt in the near future?

After a very long hiatus, yes. I don't know if we'll do prompts again but it's possible. Don't hold me to that, though. Prompts are an INSANE amount of work.

I keep replaying it.

I'm sitting between your legs

Looking up at you as you speak to me about our future

I know that you can see it

Your eyes are not on me, but there already

Saving a space for us

As you struggle to put wild dreams into words

Reading writing on walls

I search your face

And I can see it.

This whole new world right there in your eyes

I watch your hands dance as you orchestrate this vision of our life

More life than I ever dared wish for

And I feel as if I've wandered into some church

Finding religion

And falling for the Messiah

I love you

And it scares me

Like the dying of old selves

And the fragility of new life

And the burning down of things to enrich the soil

Like blind faith and cult-like following

It scares me how badly I want to live forever

in your heart's deepest desires

I keep replaying it.

The moment I became yours.

a glacial  bardo but not so - frigid - baseline off and running  (t u dont run almost ever a lope at most and gasping )  - it take forever some morning just to a  start get  - murder a bit early - a kitty a good one - birdsong - did we get the time travel figured in the pi inna sky equation in honor of einstein   

messages music - a hallelujah a small chant  - fuck all expected from t today - i may exceed and style points for execution cuz if anyone know how to do fuck all as if wuz productive - then mansplain the procedure  - later

absolute stillness

absent of all worry

i’m a moth in a night sky

unconcerned with which way the world turns

my eyes open at night

i cannot reveal to myself

what i haven’t spoken out loud

halcyon winds carry me into the night sky

we are two faceless people

our souls are filled with a loud silence

that the darkness cannot speak

when you open your mouth

i feel your breeze.

Always -

Is to be .

I will always hold your memories gently.

A binding contract that holds you and some thing together, always

It is a given.

Something that cannot be questioned, something that cannot be disputed nor will it ever be forgotten.

Always

It is the inability to forget your first loss

It is the memory of your first love

It is your first day in school

It is the moment you felt real pain for the first time

It is your shy smile you try so much not to show

Or the sadness in your eyes you that cannot be ignored.

These are memories that stay,

Always

A constant reminder to emphasize that some thing's never leave us

Bitter Sweet

Champagne glasses holding prosecco as we toast to good vibes Wish each other good health and good times See these moments stay with us through life Sharing good news with good wine  This moment is a good lie  Cause when it comes to good news its still you I wish was beside  Me when its time to tell these people  Goodbye.

A Story that matters

*

The thing about pain is

That once it has taught you

What you need to know

You cannot pretend

That you don't.

*

And so

As I move forward

With my share of learnings

There is no illusion

Whatsoever

*

That we never were

Nor ever would be

What I once thought

We just were

Before the pain

*

And even though in some ways

It is the same you

And the same I

Locked in the same rooms

Back to back

*

I know and can no longer pretend

That in the larger scheme of things

It's a story that matters

For it never did

Nor it ever will.

Ak-47 cauliflower stinks like icemilk & poppy foot. I dream of rose bushes on holiday

Some passing fad

I am diminished

A passing notion

I am unfinished

Some passing thought

You don't remember

Some passing through

You littered with embers

Some passing phase

I'm out of time

Some passing away

Some nevermind
