2014 NaPoWriMo Day 21, 22 , 23 & 24

Day 21 - Heaven and Hell

Living on this Earth
is Hell with Heaven sometimes
around the corner.

Day 22 - Unsure
I am unsure of
how to handle this
situation we
are in. I am still
unsure where we stand.

I still do not
know your motives.
Be they true or
are you playing?

I hope you
are trying
to amend,

answers
I seek.

Unsure.

Day 23 - Uninspired
Writing every day
I am finding it harder,
my muse disappears
for long periods of time,
returning when life is hell.

Day 24 - The Beast Inside

This world is one storm after another,
where the calms are few and far between.

We tiptoe around the office,
me wishing you were rotting in hell
while you treat me like I don’t exist.
We’re emotional storms,
circling each other,
sucking in our co-workers,
unwilling, forcing them to choose sides.

You’re cold, distant, barely leaving a trail
compared to my volatile, angry outbursts.
People cower in my wake,
suffering quietly through my rages.
All because you didn’t have the balls
to do what you needed to.

They know you now for what you are.
You’re no longer the old school gentleman
in their eyes.

All you are is the Bastard
who broke a Woman
and woke the Beast inside.

2014 NaPoWriMo Day 17

To the Cats We Have Lost


Rogue


My lovable boy,
a constant joy to my heart
'til a car killed you.


Renn


Love starved cat - we hoped
by taking you from abuse,
that you would be safe.


Gimli


My grouchy old man,
I am sorry you fell ill
before we found you.

2014 NaPoWriMo Day 10, 11 & 12

Day 10 - Freak Accidents

Kitty jumps off fridge,
door handle catches her tight -
ends with broken paw.

Day 11 - Unbelievable

You call after a
year – to invite me –your wed
-ding – it’s in two weeks.

Day 12 - Sacrificial

Like lambs to the slaughter,
you would sacrifice our lives -
our families and humanity.
Because you fear what you must do.
Because you still fear the man you must stop.
We suffer -
wanting and waiting -
patience growing thin.
Stop being scared children and fight for what’s right.
Fight for a new day.
Fight to rebuild.
Cut away the evil that threatens us all.
Fight for us
and for yourselves.

2014 NaPoWriMo Day 6

No Longer Giving

 

Your voice echoes through
the hallway, reminding me
I no longer care.

 

I no longer care
about you and your selfish
beliefs about love.

 

Beliefs about love –
ours differ – I give my all –
you just take and take.

 

You just take and take.
You do not deserve my love.
I am better off.

 

I am better off,
no longer reacting when
your voice echoes through.

2013 NaPoWriMo Day 21

Gaia

She birthed us in all
her glory – we give her a
slow and painful death.

2013 NaPoWriMo Day 18

Seasons of You

Sunlight in the Spring,
cherry blossoms in the wind
reminds me of you.

Fun time in the sun,
Summer’s heat brings back sad thoughts
of the love we had.

Fall comes much too soon,
falling leaves of fire reminds
me of broken hearts.

Winter snow covers
memories of your body
lying in the snow.

NaPoWriMo Day 21

Vampiric

Sucking the life out
of dying souls every day.

Work – killing artists.

NaPoWriMo Day 10

New Life

Seasons change. New life
begins, bursting forth with spir-
it – but death awaits.

NaPoWriMo Day 9

Nature’s Year

Spring blooms – the world wakes,
dragging animals from sleep
as new flowers sprout.

Summer shines – fun time,
languid days of cool water
and cold thunderstorms.

Autumn falls – harvest,
green leaves change to reds and golds.
Hibernation comes.

Winter freezes – blizzards,
skating through snow, hot cocoa
warming icy hands.
