Done for A Prompt Each Day. Inspired by the photo below:
Shadows
ghosts
flickering lantern
reveals their shadow
2
moonless night
grandma dispelling shadows
with her flickering lantern
3
I write your name with soot
on the mud wall
but it is blown away
by that breath of wind
from the wicker of the lantern
and with it you are gone
4
flickering soot
wiping my memory
of you

Done for A Prompt Each Day, a daily dose of inspiration. Today the prompt is the quote below:
Rebirth
today my memory failed me
searching the abyss of despair
for that gloom hugging me like a second skin
today my memory failed me
as I listened to that cacophony of words,
searching for the deep resonance
that used to caress me to sleep.
I almost grasped it,
but then it slipped through my gaping fingers,
a snarl slapped me instead.
today my memory failed me,
gliding through the haze of lies based on aspects of truths,
the shaky facade of carefully coated words slipping
to reveal the bare bones of
semantics in its degraded form.
today my memory failed me,
delving deep into yester-years
to desperately seek a day
when the moon stood still
on a fast wilting bed of roses
the thorns drawing blood
from you and I
today my memory played tricks on me you know.
my memory failed me.
my memory refused to
regurgitate the left-over of a passion long gone cold
passion that now sits in my belly
waiting to pass out in a cremation of rebirth

Done for Mindmiserymenagerie, BastetsShardorma photo prompt. This week’s theme is Memories, based on the Jen‘s photo below:
Fading Whiff
(3-5-3-3-7-5)
fading glows
flickering shadows
sleeping clouds
remind her
his love’s but a fading whiff
exhaled through the times
