Three Quantrains on Speech

When words are spoken

Mean what you say

Truth is unbroken

Keep it that way.

–

Choose them with care

Don’t give into fears

Lay yourself bare

Even with tears.

–

Just use your head

Go with the flow

Follow your heart instead

Since it’s what you know.

Tater Tots and Filthy Air

Tater tots and insta-pots never lie but they do lay.

Porcupine quills offer a new definition of stuck.

Dirty filthy air. 

Eternity can be relative.

Litanies of paperwork always creates frustration. 

When fires grow large enough, only nature can put them out…

General Admission

Countdown begins

Then the first song

It’s not a sin 

To sing along.

–

The groove and beat

Will make us dance 

Moving your feet 

In music’s trance.

–

As guitars scream 

Keyboard is cool

The bass, a dream

Rock and roll rules.

–

Know where to go

Listen aloud 

Gain your control 

Be with the crowd.

–

Buy the teeshirt 

Proves you were there

Which doesn’t hurt

Stories to share.

–

Until next time

You see a show

It’s quite sublime

I’m sure you know…

Three Things Challenge #935

Your three words today are:

INDIGO

INGEST

INJURE

Indigo Skies 

The sky was indigo as the sun had long since disappeared.

Deep night quickly followed, so I proceeded with caution lest I injure myself.

As the purples faded, I ingested the darkness, welcoming it.

–

Starlight darkness is a beautiful world all in itself.

Moons, comets, galaxies, distant planets all participate in a dance of the night sky.

–

After I’ve had my fill of midnight wonder, I start to fade and go inside for a long awaited dream-filled rest…

QOTD:

What is your mission?

My mission in my writing is to either emotionally touch people that read what I have to say or for them to recollect events in their own life that were similar.

Also, if I can help prevent people from repeating my mistakes, it’ll make them that much more satisfying.

As always, thank you for reading.

QOTD:

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

A long life sounds great as long as those I care about are still around. Nothing is more depressing than outliving everybody and being left all to your own devices.

Beachside Villa Nap

Floating in the primordial gypsum of nothing

Silent without intention or any desired direction.

–

Darkness envelops as eyelids grow heavy 

as deep sleep consumes consciousness 

–

Awareness of only the thundering ocean 

Desperately endlessly beating a shoreline

–

Troubles worries and stress melt away 

With the serendipitous tide of salt water

–

Warm sea breezes waft in open windows 

Beckoning in the afternoon sunlight

–

In a room sparsely large enough for a bed 

Out humble narrator snores deliriously 

–

I should awaken for I have much to do

But my dreams keep me in place…

Fierce Beauty 

Starlight beauty stunning yet refined 

Her warmth and energy would not harm 

–

All the hurts and pain in the world erased

With just a whisper of her soft suggestion

–

Her fierce femininity flows with her life force 

Yet she is gentle and silent just now

–

Beautiful like the autumn moon

Glowing silky sunlight in her eyes

–

All the answers she has inside 

If you’re brave enough to venture

–

Like Diana the huntress, she suffers no fools 

With abundant cunning all in herself

–

She often runs free dancing in the breezes

Reveling in the cool soft grass underfoot

–

Obsidian skies painted in sonic cosmic dust 

Softly light all sharing in their presence

–

Delay not, you must keep up with her

Before you lose her in the shadows…
