Sweet Sludge Serenade

Listen to poem:
Written: April 09, 2025, for contest sponsored by Brian Strand ********************* sometimes there's soft sludge a harsh grip that creeps in secretly and veiled — at times, it feels as a tight jab— warm, holistic, and candid but it may sting and stab a scorching pain at the core — It can lead to severe tummy aches where tangled strands of— turmoil reveal a raw touch. yet at times, sweet peace makes you whole  filling fissures with fervent light — your cheekbones flush — from cheerful laughter as if you are ascending to the peak of sky love is a little ladybug  light and lovely — perched perfectly  but perilously placed by pride love can be painful at times— compact yet vulnerable sitting sparingly on your hand akin to a ladybug landing — lifting you to the point of grasping the sky — conversely, hubris can build up not appreciating its splendor embrace blithe surprises your cheeks will bulge with joy but it might also break and disintegrate fostering abdominal pain love may discover serenity — once a wistful whisper now worn warmth — facilitating delicate handling with a promise not to stab again optimism boosted— love is a slow, aching healer shuffling quickly — through scattered shards of sorrow shining light amid split shades heartbeats hum perfectly across unseen sights — bravely braving blustering breeze with unshakeable willpower experiencing delight within the area of choice
