Too Much Wine

Daybreak is the fresh notes 
that the piano's playing

Your husky murmur reminds me 
of last night's moon 
drunk on the sycamore tree

My fingers filter the light
combing through your soft lips
speaking of sweet lies
cultivated by the winemaker

Morning is the regret
that only the god of tomorrow
knows

Apocalypticism

The unknown of 
a downward journey 
is frightening
if we don't know
the beginning 
and the end

Enough

The Living Poetry word prompt – Explain, Remark, Carry

Waste no time to explain
Save your breath from insulting remarks
Carry on a life of your own destruction 
Draw a line in the sand
Here I stand

Little Destroyer

The Living Poetry word prompt- Arctic, Destroy, Experiment

Toddler builds an arctic farm
arctic fox, arctic hare, arctic has woolly bear
How about experiment with penguin, orca or albatross
Oh no baby
they can’t travel that far to your farm
Let me take them back south to their Mommy
Baby cries, baby shouts
Baby’s tantrum is thundering loud
Arctic farm destroyed by baby’s palms

Anadromous

People who don't go with the flow 
are considered to be a nuisance. 
They are despised upon.

There is a difference between 
a doubtful mind 
and a paranoid mind.

There is a level of ignorance
in people who are 
full of confidence.

“The important thing 
is not to stop questioning. 
Curiosity has its own reason 
for existence."
- Albert Einstein

Excessive

I deleted four social media applications.
There are still seven platforms remain
for me to stay connected with people,
all at my fingertips.
How excessive and crazy this world is!
And I am in it and living it.

Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Whatsapp.
LinkedIn, Telegram, Signal, Wechat, Skype, Message, Email.

Beach Bliss

This is a collaboration between Bree and Cassa. It’s so much fun to write with a fellow Aussie. Check out Bree’s blog for more of her mystery Secret Thoughts Within.

Let me be the sea breeze caress your sun bleached hair
My urging breath dances on your bronzing shoulders and coats your lips with a crystalline salty kiss

Let me be the fine sand between your thighs like a wayward soul seeking paradise
I’ll warm up your skin to bring a pink blush to your cheeks as I explore every inch of your summer soaked body

It's the Pacific sun burning my mind
You are making me hungry, thirsty and possessive
I become a predator roaming for my prey till twilight

Let me overtake your senses with my crashing passion as the moon pulls in the tide
My every neuron charging along the ebb and flow of your sinew body
Breaking into your veins and crevices over and over till eternity

The night owl hides in the blackwood
The moon blushes into wattle flakes
Our naked souls lace in the orange sand 
The waves blossom into our ferocious moans as we drift into a blissful trance

Your Closet

Some guys appreciate fine dining.
Some love to drink to oblivion.
Some have the addiction of coffee and smoke.

Some men are fixated on beautiful women.
Some are into the mind altering liquid.
Some sleep with wealth in their pillow case.

I wonder what is your vice?
When I peep into your closet,
Whoa!
You are the T-Shirt guy.

Adulthood

She carried her backpack
with IDs
and walked out 
one day after 
their son turned 18

She became 
the irresponsible one
when her only responsibility
was adult enough
to cope with 
a family breakup

She took the first flight
to a new city
to start a real life
left behind
an adult child
and a juvenile husband

CD

I have kept this CD player
with our love story
hidden in the tracks
in case
you come to this cafe
again
we will share our love for music
just like the old days
before everything fell apart

Until then
I have no reason to revisit
the path we strolled along
hand in hand
sharing earphones
dancing to the beat
of our love songs

I wonder
will you blush
like you’ve always been
when you hear it plays
will you still
turn up the volume
trying to drown out
our heartbeats

I wonder
will I finally
allow myself
to break down
when realise
how much
I’m still
loving you
