They walked away from the vender. Orion took her hand, guiding it to his nose. He took a deep breath. It smelt the same as the perfume he had sprayed on the back of her neck. “What do you smell?” He continued walking. A white cape caught his attention. She lost sightContinue reading “Coreopsis 7-b”

Ache
Honestly, I’m not THAT old. My neck is stiff. My back groans. My legs are tired. Skinned dried out from winter blues. My eye lids are heavy. Work coffee! Work! That’s not a hot air balloon. It’s just my head. My sinuses bleed. My eyes are watering. Can’t kill the ringing in my ear! Moan!Continue reading “Ache”
Secrets
Do you have a secret? I do. Don’t share it frequent. Your secret? Nothing you want to share? Good. Let’s not cause another scare. It’s a secret just the same. That shouldn’t cause shame.

Relationships
Coreopsis 6-a
Orion walked onto the train platform. His pristine white suit glistened in the sun. He sat down on the bench tipping his hat to a lady who was already sitting there. “You could put someone’s eyes out with that.” She voiced her very dry unwanted comment. His heart stopped. He wasContinue reading “Coreopsis 6-a”
Less – feel – word
They disappoint me. Your word vomit; meaningless. Feel less than worthless. http://livingpoetry.net/2025/11/17/monday-poetry-prompt-feel-less-word/
