Trees into lumber to timber to kindling,
Flames flicker probing the wood that is dwindling,
Firewood to fireplace to flint that just catches,
Embers of amber to cinders to ashes.

#household. These places have eyes. They also have ears. They simply absorb. All of our fears. They do not shout back. Or break you apart. They've been there beside you. Right from the start.

My 3walls
#household. I put up brick walls. To prevent my falls. I put up these imaginary barriers. To protect me from poisonous carriers. I put up the wall. When I answer your call. I have 3 walls.

The eyes are the windows to the soul But what if the eyes are black. Does that mean the soul is foul. Or shutters drawn against attack. #household.

Rocks Of Ice
Days of silence. Neither of us talks. No apologies. Love on the rocks. Escalation of rows. Wrong sort of passion. Once showed in love. Now appears in aggression. Priorites were compromise.

@Timmsyy Ooh! I like this one a lot! It's very simplistic but has a nice vibe and constant flow of rhythm. I like how you made it a more chain of events type thing, which sounds boring as that, but the words you chose made it more interesting and added to the beauty. A very well written poem, maybe one of my favorites...? ππΌππ
