Sink, Sink, Sink

@naaviie challenge w/
Driftwood, letter, jigsaw, mirror, friction, release

Float with me among the driftwood, and find sweet release.
Freedom from the frictions of life, a jig saw puzzle always missing a piece.
The water, so calm and still,
like a mirror, reflects back all of life's ills.
Be at peace now, you can make it better.
Shhh, take a deep breath and just....
sink....
sink.....
sink.....

Don't worry, no need to write a letter.

There's A Miracle In You

There's a miracle in you, A twisting of what's normal, An unreasoning non-logic, A little heathen magic.

If Only I Could...

If I could withdraw the thorns Slowly tormenting your body and soul And pierce them onto my own, So I shall be the one to feel The agony brought by the Ruins and remains of yesterday, Robbing you...

#6. Doors (2)

Doors to life. Doors to death. Doors to strife. Doors to meth. Doors to happiness. Doors to anger. Doors to a fair miss. Doors to a broken hanger. Doors to a good chance. Doors to a bad decision.

All In One

This is new to me;. Held at gunpoint of such reverie. Once I painted my words on shipwrecks of old. Or fed them to lonely wolves out in the cold. But I see it now; no such thing as a dark everlasting.

The Sun Will Appear

A melancholy mauve settles upon dreams, Descending quickly, but without haste, Encompassing and shrouding, smothering and clouding, So happiness dives, encapsulated, into the deep, Fearing, not...

I Am Not Dead

I am not dead. Just gone away. Like a vacation. I'm back to stay. Until I get tired. And take some time off. To get myself together. To get rid of this cough. I have not passed away.

Sorry it's kind of a downer. I'm not even feeling low. That's just the image I got with those words

Odd but this actual felt peaceful lol 😽

Yeh I agree with @sjw - kinda soothing! Well done! 💚

@naaviie glad you agree I was wondering if I was a bit weird lol💞

At first read, I didn't interpret it the as expected...I just imagined laying back in 'wild water, away from prying eyes & letting the stresses of life flow from me. The letter part, I interpreted as not sharing this beautiful sanctuary I'd found. The wonder of interpretation! Either way, it's a great piece😌😚

*ignore any grammatical errors-I can't be arsed to type that comment again! x

@sjw @naaviie @Fly10 thanks for your comments 😘 I'm learning I tend to do peaceful, calm pieces best I think. I seem to get a lot of positive feedback from those. Good thing whenever you can pinpoint a strength ☺

Always good to know what you're good at. I certainly enjoy them 💚

@ckahn @sjw @naaviie @Fly10 I did interpret the last line as suicidal, which was a bit jarring but created a neat effect. It wound up being creepily seductive to me.

@VikingHorn that's cause your weird😜

Isnt it cool how different things can be interpreted! @sjw @ckahn @VikingHorn

@naaviie that's good!💗@Fly10 thanks for the RP friend! 💗💐

Pleasure-it was a beautifully written piece that stirred varying emotions, & more than deserving of a RP 😌😘

I've just realised I used your phrase 'sweet release' and I apologise! I didn't consciously copy but I guess something stuck in my head whilst I wrote mine. This is beautiful!

@naaviie yes that's why this app is so great ☺

@Nom no worries! That's a universal phrase I think which has been written countless times already. @Fly10 I'm really enjoying that this piece is able to be interpreted different ways. @sjw you're right, that is the beauty of Opuss😊

@ckahn phew!

This is amazing!...loved it😃

@misslittleDHP thank you! And for the RP my friend! 😘💐

@ckahn really good 🐒💨
