[sarvamentu]

I woke to the sound of singing amidst burning aspen trees mouth & eyes glued shut the smell of buttercup around as angelic voices whispered lullabies of autumnal storms traversing the twilight stars to the solar system of bliss ~ L.B. | 01 Jun. 2022 | #FromOneLine 199

[sarvamentu]

My hand closed over the handle as I left the house we built together, from brittle bricks and torn out lies. It was a miracle that it was still standing, despite its many tears. Farewell - you may crumble now.

stairwall

on the wall by the stairs we hung our first photo 't was a midsummer dream we covered our necks in ethereal kisses, promising we'd never leave

yet here we are at the bottom of the stairs hanging that last picture of us holding hands entering our final midnight

a voice from somewhere asked    desperately 'when will you tell the truth? security is a mere illusion        of the            confined brain running amok with-     out a care. yet this mind is a frozen     raindrop   in a sea of lies ~ L.B. | 16 Jun. 2022 | #FromOneLine 203

terror midnight

I suppose the problem is that I cannot fall asleep for the terrors keep me,   hold me in their arms, and drag me into midnight ~ L.B. | 28 Jul. 2022 | #FromOneLine 220

[sarvamentu]

with eyes like diamonds she stared into my soul  extracting my desires          adding them       to her collection  of broken dreams and   shattered existences.

There are no happy endings

At Cannibal's Spa and Grill

If you ask for the special

For them, that will be a thrill

They'll set you up with Gertie

No happy endings here

She'll tenderize you good

Relaxation before the fear

Then you'll ask the question

"What's on the grill today"

There are no happy endings

They're grilling you that day

Business comes and goes

After, there is mending

They'll serve you up with fries

For them, a happy ending

There are holes in the fence.

Better impose a tax.

People can see in,

send in the fax

We can't let them see.

There are holes in the fence.

With skulduggery in play,

it's more expense.

Find the culprit.

Do a thorough search.

There are holes in the fence.

That woodpecker on its perch?

The neighbor, Tom,

he'll take offense.

Though he's always peeping

through those holes in the fence.
