Resurrecting Hope
Sometimes
hopelessness
touches down
like a disease
spread through
momentary contact
and nothing
feels okay
until
a little note
catches your eye
and reminds you
to take a breath
and let muscles
relax

Gideon’s Challenge – Fragmented
Fragmented
Jigsaw puzzles
are supposed
to fit together
each piece
falling into place
until
it becomes whole
and the
full picture
visible.
Today
my brain
is not so uniform
as all that

Gideon’s Challenge – Ripe
Ripe
I want to
feel
your flesh
under my teeth
as I slick
my tongue
against
your skin
then
bite in deep
and
make you
mine

Gideon’s Challenge – Sunday Mood
@FatMumSlim August #FMSPAD Challenge
Prompt for August 24th : Sunday Mood | #FMS_SUNDAYMOOD25
Sleepy morning
summer heat
and ac on the go
we linger on the bed
together
relaxing
while fan blows
knowing
sooner or later
we’ll have to
rise and shine
but taking a minute
right here and now
for some lazy time

Gideon’s Challenge – Cornfields are Creepy
Cornfields are Creepy
Whether
too many
horror flicks
or just some
internal instinct
there’s something
about cornfields
that is creepy
and weird
disorienting
and terrifying
all at the same time
once the corn
has reached
great heights

Gideon’s Challenge – Scorch Marks
Scorch Marks
Anger
turns everything
ugly
from moments
to murmured words
from days
to faces
the emotion
singes the edges
of everything
creating
scorch marks
like blemishes
that turn
into scars
