                      Woman looking at herself in reverse - my raging war

                      Image by Chetraruc on Pixabay

                      My soul cries for the fear,
                                              for the pain,

                      You prick the wounds of my heart
                                              still waiting to be healed.

                      My mind screams to be left alone,
                                              not wanting to chance her heart again.
                      Yet,
                      in the slumbering depths,
                                              hope waits to be kissed.

                      She ~ yearns to move beyond
                                              the screams of her soul ~
                                              to love…

                      She ~ sits up from her slumber
                                              knowing something ~
                                              is nudging her awake,

                      She ~ notices,
                                              yet, wants to sleep,

                      The
                      war
                      begins.

Dark evergreen trees fill the foreground, while distant peaks fade into hazy layers beneath a warm yellow sky. homestead TEXT: The Sun and Us, Shamik Banerjee, Poetry

                      A delicate butterfly with soft yellow and cream wings spreads wide against a simple, neutral background, its wings dusted with tiny dark speckles that feel fragile and precise. The image feels quiet and observant, like pausing to notice the small, intricate details of something easily overlooked. bug in my juice TEXT: The Bug, Jackie Chou, Poetry
