Sometimes I wonder,
if you would recognise me,
years later.
Where I would come up to you,
with a token of my love,
in a different city, in a different land.

Maybe I will disguise myself.
And I'll be fatter than I used to be,
and older and more tired,
of this life without you.

Would you still recognise me?
While I have made, in my mind,
Every permutation and combination,
of how you would look now and maybe
ten years later. Twenty even.
I would add weight to your body,
and wrinkles to your cheeks.
And present myself with your image,
Older but still beautiful.

But would you recognise me?
I wonder and fear,
that in your ignorance,
will be my death!
Through the gap
between paragraphs,
I found remedy

Through the pause
between melodies,
I found serenity

Through the crack
between shattered glass,
I found wisdom

Through the space
between His fingers,
I found home
have faith in God, for every dark tunnels light awaits
I am responsible for
the words that I say,
not the words you
dane to hear.
I can't forget
The things you've said
And that's something I regret

If I hadn't been there
If I hadn't been listening so closely
Then I wouldn't have heard what you didn't want to share

Some secrets that
I just cannot keep though I try
Secrets that when inside make me weep and wish I had not heard your
*little chat
Prompt: write about a time someone has eavesdropped
His eye
Was so
Creepy

I tried to
Be stealthy
Ah! but the door
It was
creaky

He shouted aloud
As I did the deed
Now he was dead
I could finally
sleep

Nothing against him
Not one grudge
But the vulture eye I
Tell you, he looked like a
creep

The men finally
Come over
Searching my home
But there's something
It's ticking, driving me
mad

Oh Lord!
The guilt I can stand it no more!
Look!
Here, under the floor!
They take me away
But I go knowing that it's
The most fun I've ever
**had
I'm not stealing this reference from Poe, I'm using it to write about this prompt: recreate your favorite poem in your own words.
the sound of silence
A sound heard often by me
Biting my tongue
When I just want to scream

The pain rises to the very edge of my lips
Just wanting to shout even though I can't
Because that's not what I'm about
But it boils inside me, the words, like demons wanting out

the sound of silence
Can you hear it ringing?
The pain of staying quiet
When all you need to do to relieve it is simply
**scream
Prompt: write about having to stay quiet when you want to scream
Autumn
It's my favorite you know
The creek or the river softens its flow

The leaves swirl, tumbling no certain way
It's just what they desire
Something so simple can quite oddly make my day

Why Autumns my favorite
I don't really know but how the wind may blow
However following after is snow

oh no
Autumn is my favorite time of year. However winter is my least so here's this little poem.
mirror mirror
The words
And
Guidance
Telling me
To never
Fall

What my mirror
Doesn't know
Is I'm
The most naive
Of them
all
Prompt: write about if your mirror started talking to you
photographs
taken
every second
as if trying to
beckon
me nearer
but the photos aren't developed
all the way
just the spots where the tears have landed
I'm sitting here crying my memories away
