The day and hour the Veil was rent,
A voice across the water sent
To sailor’s ear loudly proclaimed
That I was dead. Although unnamed,
Another was to take my place,
Dethroning the Olympian race.
It’s His name now that Shepherds call,
Though I’m the embodiment of All.

Removed from civilization’s cares,
From uptight snobs and straight-laced squares,
We eat from this narcotic tree.
A chronic case of apathy
Comes over us, and we are wasted
The moment fruit or flower is tasted.
And no one laughs and no one grieves
Who whiffs its dried-out smoldering leaves.

Your friends are wallowing in filth
And won’t return to town or tilth
Without acute residuals.
My potent pharmaceuticals,
Infused in food and chased with wine,
Have turned them into grunting swine.
Sword drawn with prudence, though perturbed,
You come secure and sacred-herbed.

With endless flow of Maternal Love,
I am the wife and sister of
The Harvester, the Lord of Time.
Undoing his unnatural crime,
I wrapped a rock in swaddling clothes,
A substitute for one who grows
Bolder each day, and not afraid
To slice him with his own sickle-blade.

Maker's Methods

Often, as your projects progress,
They may involve a bit of stress.

Mistakes made along the way
Sometimes send things quite astray.

There are steps which you can do.
Trying them can get you through.

I can't tell you what will fit.
Maybe some odd thing from another kit?

Just try again, and when things break,
Don't give up, for heaven's sake!

#Poem #Writing #SmallPoems #Poetry #knock #MastoPrompt #PoetryPrompt

With every knock upon my weary soul,
Melancholy sings a melancholic toll.
She dances in the moonlight's hallowed glow,
A graceful waltz, a sorrowful tableau.
She enters with a sigh, a gentle breeze,
Filling the hollow spaces, the quiet crease.
Yet, in her embrace, there lies a solace deep,
A sacred sanctuary where sad hearts can weep.
For within melancholy's embrace, we find release,
A catharsis, a healing, a moment of peace.

Heaven

He kept knocking.
“First the gates,
now a door?”
Where was the welcome
party?
Did no one know
he was coming?
Or want him to?

When he heard
the alarm,
he ran.

Real Life

When things get really overdue,
What's a person supposed to do?
Promise you won't tell a soul(?)
I often get lost in a new rabbit hole.

In covered quiet dark they slip into the trees
ascending branches high into the canopy
and when arriving crouch upon their rough scaled knees
and gaze upon their silver moonlit abbacy

Pitch eyes compete with blackness where no shadows tread
an endless plunging void that shuns the touch of light
and with clawed hands they leap, unfurling wings of dread
and sreech, and screech, and screech their heartsong through the night

I sing a song of single tone,
A constant, mesmerizing drone,
And displace pollen as I fumble.
Industrious, alert and humble,
I see you have sufficient clover.
But if my days are almost over,
I fear you’re short on revery
To make a prairie without me.

❄️Faerie❄️

Numb fingertips
stretching for stolen skies
breath held until billowing
until breaking but
balanced for now on the tug of the
knife's edge--
inhale and exhale crowded out by slivers
of longing and lost.
Thoughts shift, collecting in the ache of extra-expanded ribs, the wild
beating at heart and fingertips, the clamp of
lips around air that cannot spill and then
among the tangents of a spinning soul comes the question that
always
comes in such moments:
Why has the hourglass
gone still?"

A hasty little pome scrawled from seeing @pelagikat say the phrase 'good day for ducks'.

As the clouds rise
They often change size
A child, a shape, identifies
And feels they've won a prize.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Three people in shorts and summer tops walking away from the camera along a white dirt road. Palm trees and flower bushes frame the narrow road on either side.

A road bicycle leaning against a metal roadside barrieroverlooking a view down onto a lake with scraggly pine trees all around. There's a mist blanketing the scene, and the road is wet.

A light, airy interior space with lots of plants and macrame, white walls and light-coloured wood, with bright natural light.

A three floor white building with green trim and the name 'AVALON' across the front over the doorway, on the other side of a road and pavements. There's a white and orange vintage car parked centrally in front of the building, and there are tables and chairs arranged outside. The leaves of a palm tree partly obscure the pale blue sky in the foreground, with other palms next to the building.

The front facade of a sandstone brick building with white wooden door and window frames and a blue cavas canopy. There are plants either side, a bicycle leaning against the wall, and a menu board just next to the door. Two people are caught mid-stride walking past the building, the man in the foreground dressed in a long black coat and a black beret. The light is warm with strong shadows, as if early morning.

A little orange house on a corner of a narrow street. The paint is peeling and the metal around the windows is rusted. There are plants growing in planters at the front. A network of wires criss-cross overhead and more haphazard buildings lead back along the street.

A person standing in an underground car park, facing the camera. Their head is tipped slightly forward and to one side and their expression is neutral. They're wearing black trousers and a shirt with pink and white designs, a lemon-neon jacket, and are holding the sleeves of a bright neon pink sweater around their shoulders.

A tranquil scene of a lazy river flowing through woodlands. There are leafless branches on the bank to the right, and some kind of evergreen with thick green pines on the left on an outcrop with mossy stones. In the distance there's a stone arch bridge and a row of darker pines.
