Cool purple scratchies
Glamour at the finger tips
Tapering wonder
Cruel, vicious connections
With purple blood on a Cross

In response to Two for Tuesdays Prompt #7 Truth and Sign

Narrow strip of cloth
Weaving like gentle water
Pole of light streaming
Tiny loop of pinned colours
Hoping for a miracle

Poetic Pieces of Life ~ Umbrella

Pic by salihguler on Deviant Art ~ Black Umbrella
~
I wandered lonely
On black iced beach sands
The dawn was paling
In billowing grey lights
The clouds were at my feet
But I carried a black umbrella
Like a sword
Just in case the clouds
Moved back

Poetic Pieces of Light ~ Yin and Yang

Pic by theSloth on Deviant Art ~ Liquid Yin-Yang
~

For there to be a student, there must be a teacher

~

For there to be ships, there must be water

~

For there to be a rainbow, there must be rain
For there to be a window, there must be walls
~
For there to be music, there must be an instrument

Gallant sails from yesterdays
Grey feelings of lost moments ~
Gripping sighs seep in todays
Gashing smiles with some sadness ~
Glimmering shadows to come
Gleaning pale fickle fortunes ~
Glorious sky galleons

Dust ~ Poefusion ~ Friday 5 Prompt

Pic from The Age ~ Winds batter city, suburbs ~ Rockbank, Victoria ~ 2.04.08
~
5 words ~ avocado + hemisphere + gasoline + ceiling + brick
~
Sun
Light
Fracture
Storm of dust
Choking hemisphere
Grinding wind pinging beads of sand
A neat cage packed with solid ceiling and staunch brick walls
Cannot weather a pinkening avocado bilge of deafening, spiralling breath
And if you think gasoline can take you somewhere beyond nature's cracking whip, you may be surprised to find a gleeful smirk in your gas tank

Poetic Pieces of Life ~ Fortune Cookie

Pic by digitalvirus on Deviant Art ~ Fortune Cookie Adventure
~
An adventure awaits you around the bend
Think of a rushing rollercoaster
Hurtling to a blind corner
Try to hold the tracks
Thrilling hope
Wish
Dream
Earth is near
Crushing flight
Try to hold the maps
Sailing to a new country
Think of a luxury smooth liner
You will step on the soil of many countries

National Poetry Month Day 3 ~ Poetic Pieces of Life ~ Moorings

Pic from The Age ~ Winds batter city, suburbs ~ Mornington Pier ~ 2.04.08
~
Mired in windy chaos
Misted in dusty wind storms
Muddled in heaving waters
Mangled in twisted debris
Maimed in confused destruction
Mornington is numbed in shock
Moment of epiphany?
~

Poetic Pieces of Life ~ Perspectives

Pic by gilad on Deviant Art ~ Proximity
~
A grey cloudy day is sad and dull
Or is it one of soft dreamings?
Sunshine days mean happiness
Or are they cruel lights?
Stairways to heaven
Or obstacles?
Walls mean stop
Or care?
Glass?

Poetic Pieces of Life ~ Icecube

Pic by 5uMmOn3d on Deviant Art ~ IceCubes
~

An icecube is a humble sculpture

On its own ~
It's little more than
Touchable
Water ~
But if held
For too long
The naked skin may
Blister
Even burn
~
Just like a heart of ice
In one
May
Blister
Burn
Another

Secrets of your artistry

Drown in the beauty elsewhere

Preserved manna from heaven?

Pic by x-horizon on Deviant Art ~ With the Wind

Wild grey winds open morning
Winter scrambles in autumn
Worried trees bow in numbness
Wimpy petals in lost flight
Windows mist in early chill
Whining for lost summer days
Windchimes for some far lost fires

Poetic Pieces of Life ~ Teaspoon

Pic by easytigrr on Deviant Art ~ Splash on a Teaspoon

Talking point of coffee cups

Teasing dip in sugared realms

Tender ease in luxury

Tumbling grains in water worlds

Tantalising tight spirals

Titillating soul stirrer

Token of tiny chaos

Demanding grooming

Like a striking rose in bloom

Wash it and prune it

There may be time for beauty

There may be time for a fall

Poetic Pieces of Life ~ Aftershave

Reach for aftershave

Heaven scent in a bottle

Sacred prisoner

Blissful token of sweetness

Needing echoes tomorrow

~

Poetic Pieces of Life ~ Windchimes

(Pic by Kurosan on Deviant Art ~ Tear Drop Windchime)

The chime can sing so softly in a breeze

A bamboo melody; a glass or metal song

And yet I feel a sense of limpid tears

For some far ancient choir; a note gone wrong

At times the music seems a listless rhyme
Just seeping from some endless sphinx-like shame
It wimpers and it sighs through churning time
As if it longs to find some cosmic aim
While I can only helpless hear the tune
And wonder on the wonder of unknowns
And hope I feel the peace of wisdom soon
Before the day becomes like coldest stone
The winsome song of chimes is magical
Defeating shades of all that's logical
