The world needs us to be more than bricks right now!
Besides... what good are bricks without foundation and mortar?

It resided in the wall for years, solid, inert, bound by its mortar

But a song gave it a heart, a mind, a soul, and it longed for freedom

Through strain and will, it broke its bonds and got free, no longer just another #brick in the wall

I have just gone back and re read the email. It's all very clear, I don't know why I was confused. I must have been very tired when I read it the first time.

I am very much clueless then. I thought stuff was just to be posted on here...
I think I need to look up what I'm actually doing...

 JOINT INSOMNIA

Some worship the lifeless moon's rocky hue
Calling it the queen enthroned in silvered light
I kneel instead to your bare skin's livelier delight

Our feelings limned the edges which lives accrue
And deeper sense we created from stars and night
Some worship the lifeless moon's rocky hue
Calling it the queen enthroned in silvered light.


From softer words we  grew entangled anew.
Once I toiled at night as a modern troglodyte
You too. Then we met and became sprite to sprite.
Some worship the lifeless moon's rocky hue
Calling it the queen enthroned in silvered light
I kneel instead to your bare skin's livelier delight.

Jolted from sleep
heard a calamity
gave me the creeps
goosebumpy skin
somethin's not right
no spring in my step
I fear the night
racoon neath the awning
watched him stretch out
as I stood yawning

You #peel back the layers,

tears roll down my cheek.

The veins of betrayal—

pungent, acrid, sweet.

Savoury ugliness,

pale flesh ripe for deceit.

A round scent of desire—

You’re #jolted by the reek.

What time is breakfast?

I could go about it like a hard-wired predator, and get something to eat in an instant.

Or, I could stretch out a bit longer, like the queen of a silver-rose throne. Then you could let go of your restraint, and paint your passion on my skin with your bristle chin, your gentle lips, your tender tongue, turn my words into moans, as your fingers whisper along my...

And when the light still lingers at the sight of dusk, I would sift cinnamon hearts onto our breakfast lattes, while you pop fragrant, freshly baked rolls out of the oven.

Jolted
jilted
junked,
skin bears
painful tenderness
shown
too late;

Thrown
tossed
tumbled,
heart detonated
regret lightning to
fingernails,
curved to claws;

Fired
fried
fizzled,
bacon a
humorous
critique of
dating

raised pink lines
on peachy skin
lie haphazardly
going every which way
some come together
to make flowers
others, pretty designs
looking the opposite
of the dark feelings
behind creation
saying what words
can't fully express
remaining unhidden
because no shame exists

No pronouns here! Pretty sure there's not.

the vibrant spark dwindled to ember remembrances, like the throes of a distant #lightning storm, or the redolence of a flower pressed into beloved poetry. my #skin is stilled, no longer #jolted to life by the thought of her; like a stare burns thru faraway memories

A dark mood
as if lightning's
jolted down my skinβ€”
a seething bomb
within,
set to detonate

the awning
holding up my grin,
slipping

& a stone stamped
over my heart,
hiding the human
in meβ€”
this rage
is pure beast...

or maybe not

perhaps I'm
just sadβ€”
& wearing
the armour
of anger.

It's such a horrible feeling,
The guilt of happiness.
It shouldn't exist!

Overwhelmed, I slip
deeper into my own skin
smile feels blasphemy
