#PoemNo11

Her feral heart

untamed, restless

fickle….

seeks adventures

beyond this earthly

premise.

Like the wind,

free, moving from place

to place leaving bits of

memories in the hearts

of those that she crossed

paths with…

Her world different

with no permanent

home, she wandered

the streets, in search

of meaning,

She wandered the

deserts in search of

rain.

#PoemNo10

Bitter aftertaste,

I like it rough

the way you do me.

Encapsulating your rich,

and pure essence

layered in deep and

dark textures.

You know exactly

how to aim for my senses

in just a single bite.

To excite my heart

You ravish my taste buds

You’re damn fine

when I have you with wine.

You know what’s right

and you keep it tight.

I like you dark

let’s face the fact

you’re good for my heart.

#PoemNo9

The birds carried their song,

the flowing riverbed beside

provide acoustics tones

of hue and calming subtlety.

The winds whisper

their secrets,

bringing me tidings

of the fir trees

dancing to the melodies

of nature’s orchestra.

The leaves rustle

as if to shudder

when touched.

The barks cave in

caressing winds

swaying many a fir tree.

Nature felt fresh on my skin,

far from the bustling traffic signals

in concrete jungles,

I felt purified and cleansed

with the water that flowed.

I found true paradise

by listening to Mother nature.

#PoemNo7 Angst – j.r.m© 2016

Worry resides in my bones,

rents pieces of my heart and

peace of mind to paranoia,

unease, malaise,

fear, dread and terror.

With their sharp claws

and razor sharp teeth

the carve niches

under my skin.

I feel so breathless

Suffocated, intoxicated.

I crave calm,

I’m surrounded by chaos

Haunting, screaming,

echoing, sending cries of stress

when I’m under duress.

Paranoia blurs my vision

fooling me

scaring me

mentally scarring me.

I’m forever on the edge,

biting my nails

preparing perchance

for the danger

that lurks around.

I’m the victim,

I’m everybody’s fool.

I’m the butt of angst’s joke.

Seduction of words,
is something you’re
known for…
You weave sonnets in my name,
you find a thousand ways to express your love in words,
you drive me bat shit crazy on the edge of insanity,
pushed beyond limit,
Now let my passion over fill your cup.
devouring desires,
raging storms,
stirring something immaculate.

#PoemNo5

Brightness penetrates my soul,

darkened to a shade unrecognizable

When darkness meets light

it’s not always the light who wins the war…

#PoetryPromptNo1 The End

The end is clear as day flashing in front of my eyes,
The end is near I can feel it lingering
approaching, crawling under my skin,
invading my sanity.
The closer it gets the more I lose my grip over reality.
Maybe in the end I am meant to let go of reality
and embrace unending eternity.

#PoemNo4

Flying spirits

roaming…

caged hearts

beating furiously

in broken rib-cages.

Souls opened

wide soaking

up the sun

My naked vulnerability

shies away from

you.

Twisting,

turning,

winding,

unwinding,

like a broken clock

breaking, mending,

Unraveling- I’m bound

by you.

Our souls are made of

stardust exploding

in the sky.

Crashing, falling,

colliding,

collapsing.

With you

I’m a living but

breathless paradox.

I found the prompts! Hurray #PromptNo2

Love, where is the love?
Light, where is the light?

Then you came along
and everything started
to make sense.

You are home
to this wandering soul.
