My Poem - ©️Catherine Beavis
.
there are no stars anymore
perhaps there never were
perhaps it was your love
that made me visualize dancing lights
amid the darkest sapphire skies,

a place where dreamers like me
gazed up in wonder & smiled
at the astonishing sights
beheld by our besotted eyes,

where an aspect of admiration
inspired their poetic songs
to be so beautifully penned 
about the breathtaking view,
where i had once devotedly danced
embraced within the arms of you,

there are no stars anymore
but the moon still smiles in hope,
that the celestial jewels
which once delighted enamoured fireflies
will return to curate & decorate
our empty night sky
to be every romantics' stellar prize.

They hit the ground running Rising crescendo and falling flat Queuing up, one after the other Well spaced out and orderly But I was out of tune Unable to rise or fall In line with the way They showed up These little notes These little moments in time That make up a life #FromOneLine 428 #poem

They hit the ground running which ain't exactly stunning given their fugitive status from the horrific crimes that taints their past The escapees proclaim they were framed by fabricated evidence which does not explain why they fled the scene if they were innocent #FromOneLine #inkmine #poetry

#FromOneLine 429 i do not know why you love me i am incapable of seeing what you see i do not know why you care about me because i struggle to do so myself, you see i do not know why but i trust that you do and learning to love myself is undoing a childhoods worth of abuse, though its slow going

"I don't think I'm allowed to kill something because I am frightened." —Nikki Giovanni 💔 #poem #poems #poetry
I killed a spider
Not a murderous brown recluse
Nor even a black widow
And if the truth were told this
Was only a small spider
Sort of papery spider
Who should have run
When I picked up the book
But she didn't
And she scared me
And I smashed her

I don't think
I'm allowed

To kill something

Because I am

Frightened.

My Poem - ©️Catherine Beavis
.
i do not know
when the gloomy clouds commenced
dark days & dark nights
sometimes blend together
sometimes just appear
but the light can break through
in the shape of you
my daybreak
my moonlight
with your beautiful soul
with your loving words
healing this hurting heart of mine
lifting these broken wings of mine
which helps me fly again
which helps me soar once more
right up towards the starlight
of my iridescent dreams
& you're always there to catch me
like i always am for you
i do not know
when those gloomy clouds commenced
but what i do know is my love
we'll always be each other's lighthouse
brightening up the darkest of times
a beacon of constant hope
where our love will forever shine

#WritingCommunity #poetry #vss365 #FromOneLine 429 #PoetsOfDoom - Updates From A Crowded Train I do not know how to commence In fog and shadow lies this tale Memory tangled in wyrd dance I do not know how to commence I simply did not have a chance As the wagons followed their trail I do... 1/6
Updates From A Crowded Train

I do not know how to commence
In fog and shadow lies this tale
Memory tangled in wyrd dance
I do not know how to commence
I simply did not have a chance
As the wagons followed their trail
I do not know how to commence
In fog and shadow lies this tale

a mirk day passes
three eldritch women enter
destiny winnows

In fog and shadow lies this tale
As three women bide vis-à-vis
I just do not feel much at ease
They each have one long fingernail
In fog and shadow lies this tale

wide open eyes stare
like a deer in the headlights
cold sweat on my skin

I now inhale an ice-cold breeze
As from my wrists they gently squeeze
My crimson -- I just want to bail
In fog and shadow lies this tale

eyes flit like horse's tail
an indulgent fixation
keeps me from fainting

There is no pain to slowly cease
From the transfusion to appease
The darkness from behind the veil
In fog and shadow lies this tale

left with bandaged wrists
I was found in there alone
compartmentalized

I reminisce about a piece
One of them said to increase
The ruby flow which left me pale
In fog and shadow lies this tale

"Skoooff !
May the prangalang nangleation of the nirnflame barrash the kravolous elcarabea."

I lived -- and it's the day I'd seize
If I were not robbed of my peace
As thirst now is my guide -- I quail
In fog and shadow lies this tale

I do not know if it’s in my head, the tapping shaking, I lift the laced curtain edge black wings at my window, flapping I do not know if it’s in my head, the tapping “Careful Mr Crow”, just perch on the ledge I do not know if it’s in my head, the tapping shaking, I lift the laced curtain edge.

I do not know why you left I did not listen I did not show how I cared We did not share enough In common, to talk We shadowed each other Drafted dark shapes into the soul We both wait, I hear, to discover Whether the sun or stars Find our separate paths So sad for each #fromoneline #429

Black velvet acres billowing expectantly. They have walked on the moon, labelled the dark: measured, numbered, categorised through a glass eye. The earth turns in my fishbowl sky. I flex my wings. I do not know when they ceased to be afraid of wonder. #FromOneLine #prompt 429 I do not know

My Poem - ©️Catherine Beavis
.
it was a very distinctive sound 
the pain emanating from you
so why not tell me the story
of your beautiful heart
& how it came to be hurt
for i cannot promise to take 
your inner conflict or pain away
but i can lay by your side each night
hold your hand throughout the day
lend you my smile when yours is lost
be there for you
lifting your spirits with my trust
for my arms are here
to envelop your sorrow
to make moments of hope
towards a better tomorrow
so why not tell me the story
of your beautiful heart
& i will help fix your broken pieces
in the loving warmth of my embrace
spare nothing in helping to lift you up
until you no longer feel torn apart

The fields are black.
Meghan pulls on her back pack and heads out the back door. 
    At the gate into what had been Garter Field she stops and breathes, feeling the knot of anxiety tighten - the taste of acid rising into her mouth. 
    Last week she had found the leverets and now their entire world had burned. Even the hedge had burned, their only possible place of refuge. Smoke had billowed up from the stubble for two whole days and only ceased when the rain had come yesterday.
    She lifts the gate latch and pushes it open, then sets off at a deliberately slow pace across the charred ground, her eyes scanning from side to side for any sign of movement.
    'Please,' she mutters to herself. 'Please, God.'
