Breather

Breather

coming up for air
too long spent resolutely
drowning:(sky's so blue!)

wash:rinse:repeat

waves against the shore
muffle the sound of endless
fights i never win

spinning

always spinning 'round
will i? won't i? does he?: [trapped]
by my foolish mind

Stranger

Something for the "One Single Impression" Prompt:

bloodshot eyes staring
back from the shop window pane:
can this be my face?

And then some random ones...

lines blurring wildly
crossed, recrossed, left far behind
ghosts of mistakes past

I
want
my life
exploding with light
purpose shining from within
brilliant, bold, boisterous, brave, beautiful, buoyant
let me die knowing truly
that i faced each day
fearless
loved
kind
