Word Prompts

I am laying awake pondering the agony of it all
I am hurting inside my heart, sweetheart

I long for the times we used to sit and talk
I still remember your touch, it would cause me to shiver
I loved you and I still love you 

I am feeling so lost inside now that you are gone
I came

Love Prompts

A rustic swirling synthetic timeless illusion,
phantom birthed blossom from emanate silence,
The subtle distinction, ghastly gavotte to cremation,
a nuance that belies the true nature of our relationship. 

You think you speak to me, me, speaks to me,
but it is I who manipulate the conversation, 
I who weaves the web of words to ensnare you.
My intent was

Writing Prompts

Playing a game of connect the dots
my pen is alive with wild thoughts;
May say I don’t play nice  
I just ignore that voice; 
Flying without writing prompts

Sound of Running Water Prompts Urge To Urinate

(alternately titled:
Pee pee song and dance routine)

Invariably analogous setting
kickstarts schlemiel to agitate
excretory mechanism linkedin,
viz body electric doth actuate
merely upon turning faucet triggers
unstoppable onset to micturate

drinking coffee or caffeinated tea
also functions as diuretic
mimics similar rush'n spate
oh boy... if I hesitate
to whip out trouser snake late...
he himself will humiliate

courtesy warm liquid will trickle
soiling pea green pants
legs knotted

My Muse Prompts Me

What if I didn't get up this morning?
What if I let the rain stop time?
But, she said, time won't stop--
For if it did
The rain would freeze
And never fall to earth.

As if to reply to a ghost,
I said,
Who needs logic?
It is enough to remain still
And let the sky rotate overhead
Unnoticed,
To let the sky eat the planets.
It

Junk Pile Prompts Babel

For all I know, I know nothing
Who can say when enough is sufficing.

No way to verify what searches reap
To winnow out truths from junk pile heap.

Garbage tower to heaven meant
Like babel feeds bewilderment.
