Kissing the sky way above
I watch them twist and turn
They move in liberty, driven by the wind
Each kite a glow of colour
Symbols of prophesy and vision

Today, I cried, I don't usually
Even death doesn't bring a tear
Always stoic, but today, I cried
Rivers and rivers of emotion
Saturating.
#AprilAcrostic #Poem
The world feels colder now
Empty without your voice
All that remains are shadows
Rooms still hold your name
Silence answers back
#AprilAcrostic #prompt #tears #poetry #writing
@daveashleypoet.bsky.social
Tears of joy or sorrow
Ecstasy or deep pain
Alone we weep or amongst others trying to console
Rising from the depths of the heart
Sometimes the flow of emotion proves too much

#TEARS
Suddenly
Losing control
Emergency blankets
Exist solely to catch me
Pillowtalk unnecessary but
You may watch me snooze
#AprilAcrostic sleepy #poetry
@daveashleypoet.bsky.social
Sometimes I snore
Like a broken train
Every axle rusted
Emitting a whining screech
Piercing the air
You can't make this up!!

Mellow tunes
Undulating sounds
Sirenlike voices
Iridescent harmonies
Chorals feeding the soul

Mangled chords
Under cheap amps
Sound breaks loose
Input overload
Chaos ensues

#MUSIC
Piercing peace,
Undoing my universe,
Nullifying nerve,
Crucifying character,
Hollowing insides until hovering
#aprilacrostic #poetry
Picture perfect
Uncompromising,
Now facing judgement
Caught, capitulated
How the mighty falls
#AprilAcrostic #poem #punch
Pugilism performed
Unintentionally
Now down in the dirt
Counting
Hurt by kangaroo
#AprilAcrostic #Poem
Political
Uncalculated
Nonsense
Creates
Havoc

Leaps
All around
Metal groans

Survival is the goal.

#Flames
Feel the heat on my cheeks
Licking my skin
Angling for more and
More,
Eating, tasting my phrasing,
Sampling my word bank
#aprilacrostic #foxprose #vss365 #poetry
Flashing fire
Lights or lashes
All depends on
Me
Extinguish - encapsulate -
Singe - smelt - scorch - or simply Be?

Falling Into my personal hell
Languished
Anguished
Mired in torment
Enveloped in pain
Sinking deeper into the fire

Gaps often appear from nowhere
Universal differences lurk behind
Land is often sought after
Fractures tear this world apart

Reconciled to finding
