Phases of regression creep past knowing. Vices of a solemn heart stir here, bestowing traces of past footsteps behind the gaze of doubting eyes. The stench of impression sewn into the fabric of tomorrows leaves hope waning in fogs of unworthiness. What defense exists in premeditation… other than its source in trepidation? Wherein rules the shadows (Light’s foes); therein hangs the gallows, looming high to choke from life all inherent love.
When all the darkness rears its form, cast your net above.

Thanks, Karuna! I’m loving your prompts… so many ways to view and approach them. I could probably create multiple submissions, but I just go with my first reaction… whatever it is, since that always flows the best. 🙂

I’m glad you are enjoying them. I’m having fun writing them and then it is serving for me as a prompt to write too. Last week I ended up deciding to submit two because they were so different from each other. But I know what you mean, the first one that “comes” is usually the best!
I woke up yesterday morning with an idea for a poem for the Being prompt. I will post it later tonight or tomorrow. This is fun!
