August Prompts for year 2020
08/31/2020
And as yesterdays rest and yield to time,
May whatever remains give the future a life.
Like a subtle hello that comes at goodbye;
Like a gentle morning after the darkest night.
May those that’re lost, find themselves a light,
And may healing come to those who lost their fight.

One day when the sun rises
And there’s less fear than hope
Let’s meet where the seas turn scarlet
When the morning sun comes home
Out there where I am not without you
Where, together, we could be alone
Where freedom doesn’t taste as bitter
Where nights won’t be as cold
And then at last I’ll be beside you
When the stars bid the skies goodbye
And midnight hues would fade away
To the vibrance of you and I

Rhythm to poetry
Is like melody to a song
Playing in harmony
With rhymes where they belong
Dancing between verses
and pauses between words
Music that the mind hears
When there’s nothing to be heard
Giving shape to every syllable
And form to every rhyme
Between thoughts and what is audible
It’s that hidden silver line-
Ah, what lovely sound...

Every silly song
Is a chapter to our tale
One that tells of love;
One of kindness, not despair:
Our true and everlasting.

And when fate decides for end to come
I’ll be here sailing through once upons
Making wishes with all my heart
Until they reach the seventh star
For no stormy skies can stop my soul
From seeking for what will make it whole
And so each night I dream awake
Folding papers into cranes
…999, 1000.
“Come home.”

Dark thoughts hover; morphing
Into twisted realities.
Sullen, tired, and enigmatic;
Too messed up and way too melodramatic.
Almost always never present, but,
Never always this much distant.
This is way too cold for a hug…

I was lost.
there was nothing but darkness.
I couldn’t hear your voice
but suddenly-
you were there.
in the surface;
where our hollowed love lies,
reaching out.
I sought solace,
where there was kindness,
and in your warmth,
I was found.

Time may pass and life may fade
But ever-after will find its way
And if forever ends one day
in timeless memories, our tale will stay
And until then, my love, I’ll wait
When stars go home to where night meets day
Where I can wake to your embrace
Home at last; my happy place.

Some say it’s destiny
Others call it fate
Some claim it’s serendipity
And some simply can’t say
I like calling it luck you see…
How fate crossed roads with chances,
How random became meant-to-be,
And how smiles rhymed with glances

I’m never “just” me
For I am my own great
Never odd or even,
Not a fan? Then go hate.
Because what I see
When I gaze at my reflection
Is a quiet flame
Of wild revolution.
