Visceral

By Isla Skylark -

 Tea-stained and creased

Sorrel wisps fold and flow

Eyes aglow in every conversation

A presence to rival temporal constructs


Blissful glances and wistful touches

Instances melt like candyfloss to the tongue

Vulnerability an incense that encompasses the soul

A slurry that deepens a prior present inspiration


Isla Skylark.

In Limbo

By Isla Skylark -
 In Limbo I am holding my breath... waiting for the right moment to breathe again. My eyes are closed, my head is spinning. I am shrouded in a fog that I cannot see through. I am wading through an unknown and there are moments I feel alone. I wonder who I can turn to.. I wonder if I should turn to anyone. I am holding my breath and I am suffocating... 13.08.23/17.04

Mosaic

By Isla Skylark -
Her heart so fragile, made of broken of glass. A mosaic from the past. It bleeds every day, with every beat and every breathe the love inside is less and less. People say it is a beautiful. People say it brings light. Yet no one, yes, no one, sees her plight. What is she to do, When she longs for is a love so true? A love that would bring a chalice to catch that which emanates from her heart of glass. Her heart so fragile, made of broken glass. Her mosaic heart. Isla Skylark 22.4.2023 19:06

A rendition of was: a dream to end

By Isla Skylark -
I wake beside her. In her bed enough for the both us. In her bed a bubble for our souls to meld. A home for us both. She turns to look into my dreamfilled eyes. her smile in the shape of "Good morning"; her arms a blanket of "I hope you slept well". My arms a story of "I don't want to leave". *** The sun has risen, I am forced to get up. Reality, Responsibility, All this beckons for our attentions. All our will to be devoted, no longer to us in our dream, but to our lives without each other. Our moments without each other. Our walks alone. An ours without an us. *** A shower away. My face is made. I look upon on her bed and remember our home within it. I smile as she pulls me to her arms. I breathe in her essence, feel her soul once more, embrace her heart in mine; As I wait for the dream to end. *** Shoes on my feet. Her, making coffee. The day beckons. Until the next time...
