Should Twilight
Should twilight paint your silhouette in shades of amber and rose Recollections of past memories in black repose As I plunge, the cold winds murmuring in despair You've gone and where-- There was once the white lucid thought of you and I Now naught but a broken grey shadow remains Swimming in the dust specked … Continue reading Should Twilight
This is why I’m scared to love
All my life I've been yearning for a safe relationship. A relationship where I can feel free without anxiety, express myself in whatever way I want, and love knowing that it'll always be reciprocated. Truth is, those wishes are no more than dreams. For as long as I hold onto my insecurities, I'll keep pushing … Continue reading This is why I’m scared to love
Humbled Hymns by Michele Vecchitto
What wonders weave within silver skies strewn with stardust candid choices castigate lone lovers lost like lambs Brother, beneath broken leaves of burdock unrest undulates until the unlucky unite Dare to dash dilemmas Dare to dream Waiting with wavering wishes she silently serenades serenity kissing keys to the kingdom you yoke with a yeoman's … Continue reading Humbled Hymns by Michele Vecchitto

Where this river takes me is the place I will linger
among the weeping willows and the kudzu vines
whiling away precious hours, savoring fleeting time

This is how we know we’ve made it,
not by being in record books,
but by being dug up
and examined
by a civilisation
long after us,
who will not look
at the amalgamation
of rock, sand and coral
coated in synthetics
and see a rarity,
a novelty
but
a small-scale
representation
of how we shaped the earth
in the image
of our greed.
Note: Plastiglomerate is a ‘new’ rock formed when melted plastics combine with rock, sand, coral and other debris to form a geological entity that will be embedded in the fossil record, and noted as a characteristic of the Anthropocene.

Poetry –manifestation
Come read Kristian’s pick for Pay it Forward this week
A thumping, a glumping, a bumping is heard
I turn and there’s nothing, I swear.
It’s darkening, fear’s hearkening.
Then suddenly, a dank chill fills the air.
Shawl pulled closer, mood grows moroser,
Sparks prickle the ends of my hair.
Mood’s getting intense, I light the incense.
Oh dear, what’s that shape over there.
My eyes attestation, skull’s manifestation
As its eyes glow, it floats near the chair.
