Miles in Between Thinking Aloud

Weekly Contest #363

Naja stands in front of her bedroom window. The smoke from her incense holds still in front of her as she keeps her eyes closed. R&B music softly plays as she allows the broken feelings of her most recent heartbreak to fill the room. Tears filled her eyes but none had fallen. The only thing falling is how clear the memories are now and how much she could feel her past partner's hands. Fleeting. Now as this new summer ends, she feels just like "The Fool' tarot card. A desire for new beginnings. And a new sweet tone spoken over the name: V...

Sometimes she’d sit in front of the flame and think that she too could burn endlessly if she could leave this narrow hallway with five rooms. The doors never close and the lights never work. Two days ago, she decided to go to an escape room out of town. She had solv...

Withering Velvet Heart

Weekly Contest #221

She felt like a ribbon streak. A ray of light rich enough to give me youth yet I’m a cold. A shiver down her spine of fear after the sunsets with anxiety and every time she comes back up the fear seems to disappear but—how can she look at me like I’m velvet royalty when I’m just a midnight line of forgotten strength? I’m incomplete but when she smiles I feel heat. She’s a sunrise and I set– the world on fire… yes. How can she love me when I’m less than lavender and she’s gold? Many try to forget about the building beyond the hill. Days are...
