love leaves bruises

rose are red

The heart is broken

and so it bled

violets are blue

like bruises you gave me

reminders of you

flowers are mauve

lilac scented

placed on my grave

Challenge

memory’s gift

Remember yesterday

So close yet far gone

it cannot be changed

The present is a gift from the past.

yours for today only.

it cannot be returned.

Tomorrow you will be

with the memory of today

it cannot hold regret

you are the sum of your memory

it is you and makes you

until you forget

Challenge
Write automatically and describe who you really are, without referencing your physical appearance, job, traits, ethics, possessions, achievements, beliefs or environment. And good luck with that ;)

me

Come close to me,  listen to my heart.

The sound of blood,  lub dub lub dub.

This is me. A living breathing entity.

We are no different.

You want to know me,  then reach

within yourself and feel.

That desire to be.  

Take a breath, taste the sweetness of life.

That is me. And us.

She would survive the zombie run.

For some inexplicable reason,  she was invisible to them.

Sure that they were dwindling in numbers she watched mystified as a group entered the graveyard and started to dig up the lately interred.  The clank of shovels and intensity of the zombie's cause made her shiver.

Daring to venture close for a better look,  her gag reflex reacted to the stench and she retreated.  Confused by this eerie behavior,  her thoughts wandered to her memory.

Her parents died horribly.  they had hidden,  all of them in a cave at the edge of town.

On the day the zombies discovered the hide,  she had been foraging for food.  She returned,  in time to hear her mother's screams and father moan.  At the mouth of the cave she witnessed her mother stripped and torn asunder.  Unable to stop herself she cried out.  The whole pack turned and came toward her.  she ran until she could run no more and resigning herself to fate lay down under a bush.  They came to within inches of her and passed on by.  It was then she realized her power.   

Challenge
Attempt to write a piece where every third word rhymes. Sense-making sentences are more impressive, but agreeable amounts of nonsense are also encouraged.

trial and tribulate

Met my date at his gate

with chest inflate

he said; 

"great,  you're not late,

time we ate,  grab a plate

when we're sate;

sex after eight? 

I can't wait."

Result.

Me,  irate;

Before I hesitate, 

I say,

"Mate,  see your weight

from eating chocolate! 

You're too fat"

Saw him deflate,  meet his fate 

...no more deviate.

Gone

She said,  "shut the door".

The slam shattered the silence.

Finality; putting him behind her.

She didn't hear the footsteps.

She didn't hear anything anymore.

Bad Mother

One eye was late again.  

Of all the demons she had spawned,  he was the most demonic.

How much trouble keeping him in line...Lucy shook her head.

Drifting down the darkened thoughts of old,   remembering.

Each God given a right to rule.  Dominion over everything.

Vulcan and Vesta,  fire in the hearth,  burned to ember 

incinerating all but one the cinder, the godlet,

Lucy,  born of fire risen from ash.  She would inherit it all.

Memories of the fall.  Why she waged war was not all clear.

Young and willful she brooked no disturbance to her dominance.

Faunus,  God of prophecy foretold the war,  the wicked things

in which she would partake.  As matriarch of evil,  make her mark.

Risking his head,  he further said that she would never again know

soft light;  but rule from dark and all her subjects from her loins.

Taken with him,  she bedded,  wedded to the future, and bore his child.

Delivered of a wild fur-ball a squally fearful featherless being.

Aptly then she named him Mars and he became the god of wars.

Raising him alone.  Because Faunus denied his blood, so she

killed him by her pointed tail, amid mad throes, her child's eye.

Thus she changed his name.  One-eye became her only son.

He was Lucy's fur and they were one,  Lucifer. 

Eternal evil worried the gods and secret spells were cast.

Then Libintia, of the funeral fame conspired with Bacchus.

He concocted a deadly wine and wooed lucy for his concubine.  

Every day a drop given a feather fell unnoticed till

one day only a skeleton of limbs remained protruding

really rotting from the damp.

Yelling threats she fell from grace .

Only one place,  where no gods roamed,  beneath the earth.

Finally she sensed her home and made the fire that roared her name.

Eventually her wrath raged far,  her spawn sent out to start more war.

Victims tell of nightmare raids,  hated thoughts to evil deeds.

Incestuous by right of blood, these devils grew more

licentious taking good from everywhere and making bad.

Lucifer with eyes of fire, kin of evil, mother of desire.

Underworld lady lord cared not one wit for what was good

She toyed with every lustful thing and laughed and hated.

This the story of Temptation's bride. It is true I promise you.

He he.

How the sirens come

when the seamen strive

to catch the waves and stay alive.

Duet

Wild young rock n roll.

Belting it out in cacophonous runs.

Then there was you,

a lick and a psalm;

My heart hums in harmony
