Vis Dare Challenge # 9 – Alone

ALONE

I avert my eyes from
looking at you
shedding your tears
that meld with the rain
and hit the ground
I do not cry

There is nothing
you can say
to make this right
leave me to my
musing

I am alone, but I am
strong, just not today
or at this moment

my universe will heal
being without you
shall not let me
linger in this pain
I experience now
I don’t require
your penitence

I need to sit
gather thoughts
to toughen
to block
further weathering
to my heart

trust me
I’m a survivor
no need
to complicate it
any more with
your words

stop saying
you are sorry
I ask you
be silent
like the walls

Stupidity
on my part
assuming we
could be
more than
friends

We can’t
you said
so life goes on
don’t stay
and beg
forgiveness

I won’t remain
anchored
as the monument
I will move on

without you

VIS DARE CHALLENGE No 8

LISTENING – VIS DARE CHALLENGE – 150 words – or less.

Unfortunately I do not get notifications for prompts. Therefore I have not been following a theme or writing anything continuously that I can ‘add’ on to, this submission is a stand alone from the picture placed and what ‘spewed forth from my head’. Open for comments, detrimental or otherwise. 🙂

 

 

 

“What? Can’t hear you, I am trying, can you see my ears pricked up, the alert facial expression, my body language – turned acknowledging”?

“Sorry, don’t know why I am having trouble, it is quiet, normally it’s  jam packed with people, feet, dirty shoes, newspapers, coffee cups, radios, IPhones clicking away”.

“Look at it now, deserted, not a soul in sight, hell even the seats and floors are clean, but you will have to speak up or come closer”.

“Why are you in here anyway, what brings you into an empty train carriage, what do you want from me?”

“You what? Really? Why the hell didn’t you say so sooner, I am a cat, I do as I like, I will come to you when I need to come to you, but if it’s food you’re offering…be right there”.

“Maybe I wasn’t listening hard enough”.

Vis Dare Challenge # 7 Secret

SECRET

I am old and have seen many a winter and summer pass.

I am weathered and tough but have let many enter through me.

I am welcoming yet my exterior gives the impression of foreboding.

I have witnessed those that lie in wooden boxes never to awaken.

I have witnessed young and old lovers with smiles upon their faces.

I have closed with creakiness behind those that seek solitude and comfort.

I have opened to babies dressed in lace held in arms of their mother.

I have listened to soulful voices resonate high into the tower.

I have heard the bells toll for many days and many years.

I have watched as people have cried tears of sorrow and tears of joy.

If I could only speak if I could only say enter when you wish, turn the key

there is no need to be afraid… there are no secrets here
