NaPoWriMo 2019 day 25
Tempest
When storm clouds spell put your name,
it's hard not to take it personally.
Shifting letters, miles high, grow heavy
and dark as they fill the sky.
NaPoWriMo 2019 day 23
The Kite Festival
The dates are always unknown.
It is never scheduled or planned.
NaPoWriMo 2019 Day 22
Ordinary Omens
Thousands of seagulls descended
yesterday on one street corner.
The air was thick with wings,
No-one thought it strange.

Thread
Plane trails cross the sky,
thin lines from one hub to another
NaPoWriMo 2019- Day 20
Seduction
The past whispers in your ear
when sleep seems so distant
with tales and promises told
in sweet singing tones
"Society was better then,
if only you could go back."
NaPoWriMo 2019 Day 19
Spinning
That morning had the clarity of a story,
we whirled and spun around each other,
hypnotised by the orbits we wove
and the stars above us were **[Redacted]**.
NaPoWriMo 2019 Day 18
Liminal
The sea is a distant silver chain
hugging the horizon.
NaPoWriMo 2019 day 17
Unmoored
Stranded in the nothing,
spinning like a planet
My thoughts are still and calm
like the first light of dawn
through willow branches at home,
which I will not see again.

Language
I ask the rain for answers
but it offers no reply,
just a gentle tip tip tap
annointing my forehead.
NaPoWriMo 2019 Day 15
Always More
The sun sinks into the ocean
sending vivid indigos and ambers
to erupt like fireworks over the sky.
The water is a perfect mirror,
no horizon visible.
