Seashells and Sorrows

...The ocean is home to a curation of shells,
The type you admire, the kind you call into,
The ones that whisper stories the sea never tells.
The peach and the pink, the pastels and the white —

All My Friends are Dead

...After "the ritual" by Olivia Gatwood

everything about this song is red,
your wallet is brown,
the brown a burgundy
and the burgundy’s chalice
has gold to dazzle
rubies, carnelian, sa...

An indentation of innocence

...

               Lay siege to my vulnerability,  
        D i s a r m my chastity,  
    Indent my innocence 
         with your capability,  
      Pierce my supple skin and.......

The Poetry Club

...He enters looking bedraggled, tired and worn out, his skin like Vellum, blank and pale. Lifting his eyes to catch their gaze he gives a slight nod to acknowledge their presence. He scans the room as ...

Overly Particular Contest Judges

...Not for the contest

No more do I despair 
writing for contests with an off the wall theme
Those that want me to create a nightmare
from what was once a beautiful dream.

Desperate Hope- Glowing Obsidian

...A light instrument flows, ink darkness; folded within
Flowers; a painless, healing, prescription of treatment 
Such secure grounding, found; in glowing obsidian

Happiness; gives sharp antithesis...

Where Are We Headed

...                        We know not who we are and yet we spar,
            frittering away thus, the gift of life
and looking back see we’ve drifted afar,
with nothing to show save struggle a...

The Other

...It is always there,
never quite within range
where the mind can snare
some shadowy form, or shape
an outline and hold it long enough 
to name. 
It waits for the sun to go down 
and the evening...

Up Soup Creek Without a Paddle

...[Every good story needs a sub plot, so…]

He watched from his vantage point on the bank’s roof
And looked out for folk that he knew were uncouth
His years on the run had made him aloof

Suppose

...Suppose I came home after a long drive,
suppose I see a car in our overstuffed garage
- it's not mine.
Suppose when I enter our apartment
I discover myself in bed with you doing adulterous things...

When the chapped lips of love lose their honey,  
there is no one there to make December sun...

Born Again
Written: by Miracle Man
September 9, 2021

Soft patterns of sandals indent the sand,
at a point they deepened where all could see.
I was like a lost ship without command,

A String of Guilt

...The surface is covered 
Guilt and string from another 
And just like when you sleep to hard 
You've got surface marks 
And these are selfish scars 
But They don't fade over the time of the day 
...

Worn

...Consider yourself on the tip of my tongue
Daring to be told and toxic to taste
To swallow the words and account as waste
Would injure my mouth until it grew numb
Notice me residing under your thu...
