No, Fuck this

My thoughts can no longer be spoken through words, they lost their ability to be heard.

Fuck the world.

Cold people have cold Syrup

As the cold syrup lurched out of the curved tip. Noticeably cold from the lack of fluidity, almost of molasses.

Her waffles laid there untouched, but broken from the pan, she was sad.

The noise between the two was friendly but old.

The grass green plates complimented the gritty ground while the wind willowed through the feeders.

While the last drop hit the squares, the waffle rested, its pours filled with a sticky chill. Putting the cap on he sat, pulling out his chair he ate.

The two ate their breakfast each with their own mug, white curved steam rose from the mugs and disappeared with sips.

Their love was much like the sips, taking away from what once was.

The divorce papers were in the middle, the centerpiece of the table you could say.

Cold syrup lay dorment.

Personality Withers

I am a construct of everything before and yet to come, yet I feel like every piece is jagged and roughed by time and ware. That’s merely a thought as I remember the beach with its sea. Stones with age fall victim to its erosion and smooth perfection. We go through life and every quirky curve is turned to ease just to please. Well I am me and I am pleased.

Affect of Words

Words are like swords, Sharp edges headed towards, Boards holding our wars, Within the mind like gords.

Challenge
Stop The MADness - take the word MAD in anyway you like, positive proactive solutions only, blaming disqualifies - any format.

Madness

The floorboards are creaking while the faucets drip franticly, wind whistling through notches watching waiting for its breeze to blast them in, outside the whisper of the wind found its hole in the frame of the door, the faint footstep of my perished family paired together, angered by unknowing truths, THE HOUSE SPEAKS, husband and daughter rejoice we must all be together as one forever our house to be, BLAM! (loud shotgun noise).

Challenge
Write a short love poem. The catch is that the first sentence must have seven words, and the following sentences should countdown until you have only one word for the last sentence. Basically 7 words, then 6, then 5, etc.
Love comes in numbers.

Honestly the world today is scary,

with more deaths then the day before, worse weather with every storm, helpless animals and damaged ecosystems

but honestly that’s not the scary part,

we're the scary part, the people as a whole

as we hurl trash at one another at a conclusion of a football game

or the constant societal separation as big companies use us for money blinded by our purchased accessories,

what’s even scarier is the unknowing of the world and the story’s that have been made, for us to live up in this so-called harmony.

Define love in your own words.
How would you describe love to someone that's never heard of it?

evol

love is backwards

it hurts but rewards

it takes yet gives

it's cold but a blanket helps,

you just gotta find the right blanket

7,596,540,325 People and You

I see you in hallways, or while driving about

you make my heart spout while my knees give out.

I imagine you’re lips taste like fruit with skin soft and smooth as if a sandy desert eroded your rough edges.

I'd love you in the morning while our bed head hair poked in all different ways

and during the day while we're away I’d crave the way you fit while you lay.

Forgetting these luxury’s that come with you, is the only way to get over you, as no words have yet been said with no action done, I glance and search, as I don’t know who and where you are.

My love you could be anywhere, our glances have yet to gleam, but I have billions to see and a million to greet, I just hope we meet.

That’d be neat.
