Champion of Heartstrings

via Daily Prompt: Champion

heart-strings.1jpg

I am a champion

of heartstrings

thin or thick

new or old

I protect them

keep them tightly attached

because these strings

I willing cling to

are my life lines

etched deep in history

each a connection

a person

who shared my world

and I can’t let

a single part of myself

ever escape

Territory of My Mind

via Daily Prompt: Territory

field

I love to wander

a territory all mine

it’s no one else’s land

entrance banned

from all outsiders

open

vast

sprawling

no horizons

no end

A place

I can run, hide, or seek

I  laze in sun

or weep in cloudy gray

I plod steadily along

with heavy feet

or skip with light heart

This land is mine to own

sometimes it owns me

 a saving grace

or a graceful fall

it doesn’t matter

it’s the only thing

that is all mine

What Would It Say?

via Daily Prompt: Label

swings couple

I asked 

if he had to label me

so others understood

what would the label say?

He said it would read,

“Here lies a world

where flowers dance

to music of sunstorms

where dreams float unhurried

in ships unsailed before

where passion sensually speaks 

across skin begging for poetry

where reality touches

what you always believed unreal.”
