I was stuck on the wrong day, Like needle in vinyl pressed, Going round in circles, Playing Sunday's hymn instead. Where had I got to, Side and track and song? Paused mid-flow, I'd missed the beat, Now Monday's been and gone. #FromOneLine 422

The wind had left the city, The breath was without air, The curtains didn't waver, The heat they could not bear. They stood there, still as anything, Exertion not the plan, Waiting for the slipstream, To help them breathe again. #FromOneLine 419

There is something in the atmosphere, It's sticky, still and hot. It triggers nearby sewer, To sweat and stink a lot. 'Gaw' bligh me,' Hear them saying, As they hold their noses stately. Wafting as they promenade, Green faced and feeling sickly. #FromOneLine 421

I've never seen the moon Under Australian skies I believe, I'm told, it's upside down To some dingo's prying eyes It's all down to perspective Earth's curvature, angle's slant Does the dog still howl at it? Perhaps, just back to front #FromOneLine 393

The fields were not as empty as he thought, Something unseen, magnetic, drew him, caught. Snared in binds of writhing serpent's fluxes, Lured he was by own curiosities. So there, he gaoled, contained by temptation, His mind, a prison, trapped in chased vision. #FromOneLine 410

What time is breakfast? Well, around 1463, 15th century meaning, For, breaking the fast, for thee. Prior to this, first meal of day, Was morgenmete by name, Morning meal, quite literally, The oldé words do frame. #FromOneLine 409

Give the deck another shuffle, The pack, that here, they call being, A constant, changeable future, In the present can lead to succeeding. Don't give up on what you've been dealt, Trust the cards you lay on the table, For each and every one you are shown, Is your guide to journey's solution.

This would be the line; living dare not gaze, Fine line, finality, soul's eternal liaise. That Forever frontier, life's delicate thread, Yarn weaving dream, of clouded mortal bed. Letting go, falling back, slipping into sleep, Angel duvet soft become; stars safely keep. #FromOneLine 399

We should have stopped! I should have stopped! Surging, surfing extremity. Relentless passion gripped within, This loveless bond of tragedy. Wicked desire of selfish plot, Fuels only that of infamy, Leading those, participating, To lonely, selfless misery.... #FromOneLine 397

I didn't write this, poison penned, needle sharp, Red letters woven, threaded, prickled, tart. Parchment scribed by one, oh, so bitter, Resenting, twisted, bloodied author. #FromOneLine 396
