EDC Writing – Believing Sight Unseen
Scientist writing – odd lines, poems even…
He a man untied
to time or anything
beyond accepted promises
She his curved ball
provokes imagination
believes she can be his
Conscience slips and slides
everyday more blind
to all he’ll leave behind
As he sleeps he stares
sees her in his darkness
light rolls back their years
Love beyond words
felt though unheard
their promises unbroken
…..
He remembers, she too… will always
Between us…
span of years no tears
No us…
feelings flow beneath
Useless…
looking back cold feet
Ah, there you are… he smiled.
Six word line/story in response to ‘Saturday Six Word Story Prompt (6WSP) #4 – Unconditional love’ for week 21 – 27 September 2019.
I despair, not getting through,
as if you ears untuned to my words,
not of this world, perhaps that’s it,
you a goddess, an angel, a mystery,
way beyond me, my comprehension,
I touch, you feel, still here, reality.
Love you… don’t know do you?
Knees weld
arms cross
heart locks
sigh echoes
shadows touch
fingers brush
hand held
trace of love
Until you do
I’ll find
hold on to
loose ends
not let you
fall apart
Until you do
I’ll touch
ease knots
untwist
release you
from inside
Until you do
I’ll breathe
exhale feelings
for you
to do with
as you will

When did you decide
no one on one with him
the day before or after
you said you couldn’t wait
When did you decide
to mess up bad his mind
the day before or after
you said you never would
When did you decide
you’d made a big mistake
the day before or after
he said he understood
When did you decide
you didn’t need to cry
the day before or after
he wiped away your tears
When did you decide
you’d always love him
the day before or after
he said ‘I love you’

Gasped reached out
her shallow deep
not realised till
her toes touched his

Could he not see
the game they played
she didn’t want to win
the hand he held
she wanted to be hers
