Your world caves in
Around you
Within you
The pain too palpable
To face
To fight
Embracing the dark
Surrendering
Relenting
Blind to those
Who love
Who care
And bring you light
To give . . . more

Slowly awaken
unwilling to open
eyes to a nightmare
no longer there
one eye opens slowly
left glancing then right
the other snaps open
both clear of sight
undimmed by the night
frown . . . more

He stood stock still
and was amazed
She filled his eyes
and left him dazed
so much unlike
where he was from
the mountain stood
both broad and . . . more

Another dark forbidding day,
the winds and rain have come.
To whisk all the trees bare,
leaving a wet, ugly mess on the ground.
Beauty turned dark.
Just last week, we marveled at the colors
that magically . . . more

Waves crash over me
Salty blue water chokes
Arms and legs treading
Head back trying to stay afloat
Gulping for air
Ocean tosses this rag doll
Looking through water's window pane . . . more

Catching up
Here and there
Smile. Hug. Kiss
Holding me
Laying next to me
Having your way with me
Rest. Repeat. Walk away.
Door shuts
Out of sight
Out of mind
Out of luck
Out . . . more

With the loss of a loved one, it is hard to feel,
It seems like a dream-- this can't be real...
One moment they're here; and then, they're gone.
And now I will sing their song... . . . more

Melt into me
like the snow
during spring's thaw,
bringing to life
that which was frozen.
Envelop me
with the warmth of you,
and lay to waste
that which is cold and barren,
frigid . . . more

aches and pains are like badges
mark times and places that matter most
the scars you touch prompt memories
tattoos the mark of living ghost
sometimes you need rememberence
for peace of mind . . . more

The landscape looms
With some contrast
No hues of blue
For ocean and sky
No use for color
In a world so defined
No unneccesary distractions
No creative juices flow
Right side atrophy
Shrivels . . . more

She walks the long way home
Her time alone to think
Into a bar she'd roam
As the bartender pours her drink
It helps her to forget
And chases away her pain
Spends so much time . . . more

This is for the two-word challenge... it has to do with the struggles of PTSD. Though not as positive as many of the others, I felt inspired to share the pain this time around. AC

sunshine in september
burnished roofs
starlings scatter
at sound of hooves
he arrives home
the old house stands
time spent far
in foreign lands
he halts his horse
suddenly afraid
of the past . . . more

I have to give props to Will Evans who unknowlingly gave me the idea for this poem-he had me in tears yesterday (the laughing kind).
Secret rendenvous
Sex, hot and steamy
Old enough . . . more

They call to me,
are a wellspring inside of me,
and I could not stop them
even if I tried;
Words flow
like a stream,
gentle to my soul,
guided by my spirit,
shared with those
who care . . . more

Most sweet of memories
Leaves a tang upon the soul
Tainting all that comes to pass
Pinnacle that leaves all else low
Shrouded in the morning mists
Robbing sun of warming glow
Is there another peak . . . more

He stood there shaking
confounded and quaking
seeing before him
nightmare of his making
appear with a swiftness
that left him listless
he wanted to scream
While they were walking
she did all . . . more

I called out your name
But you walked right by
I caught a glimpse of a teardrop
Running down your face
I felt the sadness of your heavy heart
The pain of love and loss

The gentle rush of a mountain stream ,
the sweet hush of a lullabye,
the chirping of a cricket in the night ,
and a train's lonesome reply.
The laughter of a little child,
the ocean . . . more

I have stood in the dark of night,
and quivered for fear of the unknown;
I have been filled with passion's promise,
and the love that gives my heart a home.
I have reached . . . more
