Flicker of Thoughts (Reblog)
Tara from Raw Earth Ink created this piece based on the name of my blog. It took me to a scene deep into a story I so wanted to read more…
“in a way, it was savage
the way you held my hand
a little too tight
a little too firm
nails biting into
the back of my hand
in a quiet corner of my mind
there stood a tiny thing
just a flicker of thought
in the recesses, shadowed
shrouded in doubt
yet true nonetheless
and I knew, I really knew
there was no mystery
Iâd read the signs
you stood a little too close
breath heavy, hot on my neck
I swayed but stood my ground
every movement you made
a veil lifting behind my rapidly
blinking eyelids
memories marching forth
revealing all your true intentions
every phrase holding hidden meaning
and the flickering thought brightens
the idea, a plan, formulating
I will break these shackles
one
by
one
the weight, the savagery will lift
your influence will, like reins, loosen
I will see my freedom
if only I feed the courageous flame

Another in my series of using blogger site titles or tagline as a writing prompt. The poem has no relation to the blog or blogger other than using their title (in this case, âFlicker of Thoughtsâ from Cassa Bassa) as a prompt. I hope you enjoy!”
