dVerse: Stayin' Alive
dVerse: Question of Identity
 |
| Polyvore by grace2244 |
i thought i knew who i was
who i loved
what i wanted
but then it all changed
my life in a moment
stripped me of any knowledge
or identity previously known
only be getting unstuck
from the muck of stolen memory
did i come to know of me
and the multiplicity of me
coming out of the tarpit
i found a new life
a new love
a new way of being
the second blow of
body falling apart
took back my life's new direction
but my love stayed
he is now my husband
what remains are my remnants
of trauma
that threaten my existence
more than i care to admit
what holds me together
is my life with my husband
and our dog
and our dreams
but first must get past
current barrage of parts of me
hellbent on death
waiting waiting for help
to keep me alive

how empty the heart
too full to accept love
empty space leaves hope

dVerse: Sunflower Lily Pads
dVerse: Poetics ~ Sketchbook...In The Moment
 |
| Polyvore by Grace Beam
dreaming of the sea
and fields of sunflowers
so i float along the sea
on a sunflower lily pad
loving the sun on my face
the breeze of the ocean
the sound of the waves
soft lapping against the boat
i watch you on the shore
as i float along
magic bubbles carry colorful fish
across the sky
while seagulls dive
for sunflower seeds
secure in our love
knowing you are there
while i am here
in the magic of my mind

Alexey Andreyev's Fourth ~ "Day After Valentine's"
day after Valentine's -
red petals on the floor, and
a broom in the corner

Write a haiku in the same sense, tone, and spirit as the above.
My inspired haiku:
hanging crystal heart
no longer in the window
day after valentine's

across siberia
two lovers reunite

harsh siberian terrain
lovers find each other

dVerse: Mother Tongue
dVerse: Meeting the Bar
i have no mother tongue
i'm not sure my mother was my bio mother
we moved frequently
so i have no particular dialect
i know words from several languages
and subconsciously spoke several
my life would be an unbelievable
movie of the week
raised by post war Nazis
brought into the US
by our own govt
except i knew them in Germany
before I could speak
and knew German commands
simultaneously with English
fear was my language
my first poetry
from second grade
speaks of death and graves
likely a red flag in today's society
but had that been my red flag
it would have meant
fear of death if i ever wrote again
so thank goodness no one noticed
poetry and images to accompany it
were my escape
from my unknown split selves
and became insight into my life
when i awoke from amnesia
in my forties
my words, my feelings on paper
that was my only reality
even if i didn't quite get the reality
mid forties to sixty was healing
sixty-one mostly healed
without all memory
same words coming out
in different ways
but still they come
new words like "puppy"
add new life
create new memories
grateful for a place to share
where my past no longer matters
but the words that go with it
are accepted without judgment
i'm an aberration
finding my way late in life
with new love and new family
finally embracing this holiday
we know as Christmas
my first holiday detached
from the fear it once meant
my first season of enjoying
holiday movies and
Christmas specials
and decorations
wishing all the dVerse family
a holiday of peace and
treasured memories

CD: Game of Hearts
Carpe Diem: Little Ones ~ Sedoka
moon circles earth's orb
she eyes him as he nears her
will their stars align for love
moon closest to earth
in frigid months of winter
he melts her heart with his smile

Carpe Diem #311 ~ Eclipse
light of my life
taking your last gasping breaths
eclipse of my heart

FSF: A Beautiful Moment
Five Sentence Fiction ~ Beauty
She'd been lying in the hospital bed for five days, hair unwashed, tubes in her arms, fluids no one wants others to see in bags. Unsure of her fate, she wished to just close her eyes and not wake up; when she did awake, her husband was looking down on her lovingly and smiling, holding her hand.
"We won't be going on vacation this summer," she told him smiling, trying to put up a good front. He squeezed her hand and told her, "We'll have next summer." She never felt more loved or beautiful than in that moment.

No Ordinary Eye

dVerse: Solve for X
dVerse: Form for All ~ Mathematics
Today's challenge is to write a poem following one of the mathematical formulas. I'm attempting a triangle which follows the form of 1, 3, 6, 10. Here goes... (ellipsis)
love
double heart
we become when married
entwined souls, limbs, thoughts and dreams forever
forever dreams and thoughts, limbs, souls entwined
married ~ when become "we"
heart double
love
ha...a palindrome to boot...methinks.

CD: Of Love & Moon
Carpe Diem #238 ~ Affection
I was so taken with Kristjaan's writing of the moon, I wanted to write of that love as well. The photo is not the best of the super moon but my husband took it for me to use in my Polyvore art.
