The last words you spoke
still live loudly in my ears
and will never die

It does not matter
if my words are never heard
It's enough I spoke

The pen is my instrument
And life my mentor
An extraordinary journey
Questioning what’s in store
A burgeoning dream
To heal our pain
Writing about fears
Sheltering from the rain
Exorcising demons
With our blood for ink
Pulling me back
From teetering on the brink
We may heal ourselves
From the wounds of misery
The pen is mightier than the sword
and it inflicts no injury

Word Prompts
Solitary Man
Solitary Man
I am haunted by your words
That lay heavy on my heart
We are only as strong
as the miles between us
Destined to be apart
There is a sense of dislocation
I am an empty vessel
With all the hangover
and none of the buzz
All these things I wrestle
Reflecting on our last night
Sitting in the park by the lake
The color of your eyes
In the moonlight
I melted like a snowflake
I was dancing on air
Until you laid out your plan
You were leaving me
Never to return
I am now a solitary man

Your words are
fireworks in my mind
Exciting and scintillating
Lying and devious
Manipulative yet sincere
You’re a word jockey, one of a kind
Declarations stroking me
Like a feather
Tantalizing and erotic
Sweet and sensual
Sometimes reticent
Changing like the weather
I’m confused by you
But I yearn for happiness
I like the way it feels
You are believable
I have no doubt
It is just your cockiness
Fooling myself
Ignoring the flashing beacon
Living in a fairy tale
Of my own making
Blinded by you charm
Allowing myself to weaken
You shower me with your whispers
Falling on me like autumn foliage
But between the floating leaves
I can see you with her
Is a comeback possible for me
Or am I now your spoilage
