Black hole (Gaia BH2)

They said her name was Gaia,
blackened hollow eye.
From somewhere out in time and space
she whispered through the night.
Dark and sullen lullabies
which filled expansive space.
Demon of the universe
A shadow hid her face.
I saw her once while in a trance,
across the milky way.
devourer of stars and matter
designed to free up space,
in fear I watched her day by day
from Hubble's telescope
To find that she did nothing more,
than loiter there in space!

SCORCHED EARTH CLEANSING

Soldiers leave deep footprints,
As they slither secretly away,
Death gets stuck in the throat,
more graves, gouged every day.

Hordes of crumpled people,
Hunger in moth-eaten shame.
The hole in his head is a liar,
Unwilling to bear any blame?

Left is a thorn in man’s flesh,
Warlord hides true purpose.
False tongues hurry to dance,
As words target and curse us.

The Rubicon now redrawn,
Victory, staged in false light.
Dead trees weep out of tune,
Tears rain on enemy’s fight.

BLOOD WANDERER POV VERSION

When I saw you float in
I felt your presence your
Dominance your finger

Tips. Your outside breath
Tickle my ear my silk skin
my toungue rolls around it's

a Thrill. Each tred you step
Im pulled closer to your loving
Web.I couldnt take my eyes away

When are cherry lips sticked
I felt my life energy evaporate.
A pumping throb in my chest

Every throb for your black heart
Is magnetised by your darkness.
A stranger I never knew

27

Shiiiiiiiiiiirkkk.
A body is split in two.
flies buzz, opportunistic for the rot.
My mind, turns to thought
Maybe I was dead, long before this.
Decaying in the sun,
I can hear it breathing now.
Grass swaying in the wind,
all is quiet, still,
save for the buzzing of flies
that sounds fills me with dread.
I hear it when rooms fall silent
Hovering over my naked form,
feeding off of my warmth
An early tomb, is always at the back of my
mind, It makes space for itself,

Once Upon a Dream: Part 2

You lean against your car
As I stand in front of you

Eyes locked on eyes
It's time to say goodbye

"Goodnight" I whisper as
I turn to walk away

"Wait" you whisper back
As you walk towards me

I turn back around to see you
Standing there

You grab my arm
And pull me in for a hug

Soft and gentle
Your touch lingered on my arm
Letting me go as slowly as possible

Just like my dream...

Celebrate the Year image prompt

Here comes a New Year’s Resolution
I fill my heart with a sense of gratitude
that life teaches me the meaning of sharing
Live and strive for the best that I can be
to learn and grow with an understanding
from the wisdom and knowledge
look beyond the past with valuable lessons
Embrace the precious moments
to make 2024 a special new fresh start off
A spectacular and remarkable one
like the sparkling champagne
that brings a sweet wine taste
spread the seed of love and joy
Count every second as a blessing to all
