the asterisks are to note the prompt lines used. Some verbatim, some slightly altered to fit the poetic flow.
The clouds spill a thousand secrets * Masquerading as celestial tears Tapping on window panes Pattering on umbrellas Whispering To thirsting flowers Of distant friendships A torn canvas* Separates Two paintings* Unable to agree Seduce the stars without a script* Melting tears into sweet fire* Overwhelmed by the silence Of love’s clouded secrets
