Glimpse

Fact is, i love you.

With every passing day

After every storm settles

I fall in love a little more.

With finesse of your voice

Charm of your words

A moment we breathe as one

I, encompassed in your brown hue

Your fingers tracing my arms

My arms necklaced yours

It shatters, you leave me wanting

Desire for all, your words, thoughts and touch

push me away, i fall in more

keep me close, i’d never let u go.

worlds might change, wars may end

The fire in me will never go out

Yearning burns me at night

Ashens me during the day

If that night was longer

Or i’d stayed an hour more

Lingering in your scent

Tracing your nape

Hold my hands again

Keep close to your chest

Kiss them one more time

Hold to never let go

This time, i promise my death

All my nights, by you, for you.

Challenge of the Week XXXIX

You took your smartphone and moved back to 1984. For the sake of the plot, your phone works perfectly, but a condition of your year-long relocation in time is no one can see it, or know about it. You are to report back to 2023 the contrasts: With people, music, overall humanity, anything. Send texts, pics, videos, undetected. The elite group with whom you work has cracked the code of time travel and intervention, and while the race to colonize Mars rages on, your group has decided to instead go back to 1984 to reset the world, so to speak. Before that power leaves a seamless, yet indelible mark on the future, the group has to decide if it's for the better, or to go ahead and let it all run the course it's on, and start looking skyward for continuation. Make it funny, make it deep, make it dark, make it yours. Entry with the most likes takes the $25 wire. Go.

whoosh!

Wrinkled faces

sweaty foreheads

frozen shoulders

stiff limbs

succumbed to stress

our only motive?

heal this earth

make it home

reset our hearts

jump to 1984

where all happy

not hollow like now

dream, work, love

intermingle once again

maybe my chance

to be yours again

come people,

for the sake of lost love

I have seen this earth

as a paradise-like before

physically telepathically

come let's own

What's ours

come let's mend

what we broke

come let's heal

what we harmed.
