Love Made Them Foolish, Nonsensical Lunatics 

Posted in Heart Full of Poetry / Mind Full of Words, Uncategorized, You Prompt MeTagged , , , , , , , , 5 Comments

He was foolish 

.

.

He reeked of inexperience 

.

.

Lacked the emotional wherewithal to create something worth while 

.

.

But the look in his eyes said he wanted to try 

.

.

The passion in his lips said inexperience in one doesn’t mean inexperience in all 

.

.

He was an ASININE excuse for a partner 

.

.

But as a lover, he was a 5 star vacation of a lifetime 

.

.

He begged to prove he was more than face value 

.

.

Climbed mountains to show he was more than skin deep 

.

.

Ripped open his heart to prove to her that there was even a heart to see 

.

.

She was foolish

.

.

She reeked of a woman with too much experience but a heart too big that none of it mattered

.

.

She lacked the emotional wherewithal to stand by her word 

.

.

But the look in her eyes said she wanted to try 

.

.

The ache in her heart meant she still had enough of one in there for one more heartbreak 

.

.

But she was willing to put that piece of her heart in his hands and trust him not to crush it

.

.

She was an ASININE excuse for a partner 

.

.

Because she was all-in with one foot out of the door at every moment

.

.

But as a lover, she was a 5 star vacation of a lifetime 

.

.

She begged to prove that she was more than just broken pieces 

.

.

She climbed mountains to show that the glue holding her together was strong enough to carry them both 

.

.

Ripped open her heart to prove to him that there was enough in there to keep on loving

.

.

They were an ASININE excuse for partners 

.

.

Love made them foolish, nonsensical lunatics 

.

.

But as lovers they were a 5 star vacation of a lifetime 

.

.

And at the end of that lifetime, who wouldn’t choose to live it as such?

.

.

In what love story, are there lovers that aren’t foolish, that haven’t lost their senses? 

.

.

In what scenario does love not make you both a little crazy for each other? 

.

.

I truly do not know, but if you ask them, they will tell you…. 

.

.

It is going to be hard, but most things Worth having usually are

.

.

True love, knocks us a little off our senses 

.

.

But at the end of every day you just have to say

.

.

I choose you 

Response to NEVER SILENCE THE MADNESS POETRY PROMPT “ASININE”

The Universe is an IMPLACABLE Thing

Posted in Heart Full of Poetry / Mind Full of Words, Uncategorized, You Prompt MeTagged , , , , , , , 3 Comments

With every twist and turn

The world tried to tear them apart 

.

.

Whispers that linger 

Cuts that sting deep

.

.

The unforgiving movement 

That made one nauseated while they sleep

.

.

Photographs 

Pyrography etched into ones mind 

.

.

Memories

The reality that there is never really time 

.

.

But the universe is an implacable thing 

With it’s mind made up 

There is no real twisting and turning 

.

.

Every bump in the road 

Every detour 

Every kink in the path 

.

.

What is meant to be 

Will be 

And the universe will handle that 

.

.

She is adamant, relentless 

She is unforgiving when she knows what she wants 

.

.

The universe doesn’t care which way the world tries to turn 

She will spin it backwards and forwards 

.

.

She will linger

She will haunt

.

.

She drowns out the whispers 

Blows on the cuts 

.

.

Navigates through the moments 

When we all get a little lost 

.

.

She is an implacable thing 

.

.

And in the end 

She always gets what she wants.

NEVER SILENCE THE MADNESS POETRY PROMPT “Asinine” 

Posted in Uncategorized, You Prompt MeTagged , , , , , , , 1 Comment

A few months ago, I started a book club, on FB called NEVER SILENCE THE MAD READER. As I was reading this particular book, our first book of the club, I realized it had so many large words that I had to look up. This was a very discouraging realization because in high school, I had so much pride in myself for being an avid reader. As an adult, I didn’t get the chance to read as much, but I didn’t think my vocabulary was as limited as it was. By the end of the first book, I chalked it up to the book itself. I mean, it was called “Special Topics in Calamity physics”, what else was I going to expect? 

LOL a bunch of hard words….. 

turns out…. It wasn’t the book, because come Decembers book, and I’m still writing down a long list of words I do not know hahaha 

Anyway, I decided to write poems for each word to help me ingrain the definition into my mind. I thought it would help expand my apparently minuscule pool of vernacular. Once I started doing this, I thought, hey! why not start a poetry group and post poetry prompts, I’m already “prompting” myself, I’ll just share it, and others can join if they want to. 

I started a poetry group on FB called NEVER SILENCE THE MAD POET and I began posting my word of the week or poetry prompts. I recently decided, I’ll try sharing it on here as well and 🙏 would love it if anyone would like to participate and tag their ping backs to #NSTMPP

This weeks poetry prompt will be the word “Asinine” 

according to Merriam-webster:

1: extremely or utterly foolish or silly an asinine excuse

2: of, relating to, or resembling an ass

pingback to #NSTMPP 

I’d love to read your work. 

It’s Where Your Compass Leads You

Posted in Heart Full of Poetry / Mind Full of Words, Uncategorized, You Prompt MeTagged , , , , 9 Comments

You said you dreamt of it once 

.

.

a freckle 

.

.

Like a kiss upon her thigh 

.

.

It’s where all the roads are traveled 

It’s where your compass leads you 

.

.

It’s where the time goes 

When it flies by 

,

,

It winks at you 

.

.

like a LANDMARK 

To lead you home 

.

.

And once you have landed 

It’s a lovely place to rest your head upon 

.

Green With Envy

Posted in Heart Full of Poetry / Mind Full of Words, Uncategorized, You Prompt MeTagged , , , 5 Comments

They do not know I see them

I spy on them, green with envy

As I cling on to the ledge

Heavy with the burden  and no ground to land on

All my strength just so that I could see, everything unattainable to me.

Write a story or poem of 5 Lines or Less
Use the picture and/or the word spy as inspiration
