Inner World

Walking along the tideline
Watching the sun descend
Painting each step as I carry on steadily

The sky is filled with colours
Amber and claret and gold
Filling my inner world with cold warmth

I stop, and look where I am standing.
I have wandered away from the bright shoreline
I stand in shadow, underneath faint stars lost in a murky sky

The sand beneath my bare feet is cold and dry
Hurting my feet,
Tearing the bottom of my jeans

I walk back towards the glittering waters
But I can't turn.
I just keep walking further and further away, lost in self-doubt.

I stop still, close my eyes and concentrate.
I focus on the inspiration around me

My skyline implodes electric blue
Neon purple.
I shatter the invisible barrier, the unseen restraint

And head towards a neon skyline
Electric blue
Neon purple.

Who The Hell Am I?

Who, how, what, when, where and why. Who the bearded Ghandi in the name of Jesus, Hell am I. I am in such a state of disarray, I cannot seem to know, If I am one way or the other, Who am I.

Corner Of My Mind

I come to the corner of my mind. A place shadowed and black. A baron abyss. No way back. Every teasing turn. Wills me to sanity. A safe haven. Once free. As I tiptoe into lost awareness.

Personality Profile- Story #1

On the table sat a small mound of crisp sheets of paper. I looked at them and scanned the neat rows of questions. The words were typed in a thin font, a very type-writer-ish kind of thing.

To Be Yours.

I don't know where I come from, I don't know where I'll go. I don't know when the sun will come, When the winds lunge to and fro. I don't know how to tell your tale, I truly wish I could.

Remember

Remember what it was like. To live among the light. To bask in its brightness. To feel all its might. Remember how it felt. For your ice cream to melt. And the hand you was dealt.

Illuminated

All alone with my thoughts on the cliffs I sit. The sun just set, one half of the moon is lit. As lonely as a tree only in company with the wind. I lay down, watching the stars fade in.

Glass Eyes

Sewing seams,. Of broken dreams,. Chains & keys,. Unlocking the door to the free,. Give or need, give or take,. Mistake, fake, its okay,. Glass eyes can't see,. Where you should be,.

Some really great descriptions, nicely written👏👏

Just a self example, to prove to myself I can do it if I try. I just need inspiration. And of course to wait until the right words pop into my head 😅

Wish it rhymed…

Painting of wordage!

Colors rule , thumbs up on the imagery

@BearScribbler @wolfwaff thanks both ✨❤
