Anxiety is a sly foe, there is no easy way to escape from it and only you have the power to drive it away. • My masochist & Hangman's noose #31daysofhalloweenprompt #purgehendrixprompt Hosted by @purgetraumapoet & myself • I'm so proud of the poets taking part in the #purgehendrixprompt They inspire me to keep writing and keep sharing even though often I think I'm not good enough. • #prompts #halloween19 #halloweenpoetry #writingprompts #promptlist #inktober #inktober19 #octoberprompts #inktober19 #writingprompts #promptchallenge #writingcommunity #writingchallenge #prompt #poetryprompts #apoemaday #dailypoetry #poetrydaily https://www.instagram.com/p/B33_ls8Fz8m/?igshid=iz68yudohi6q

18 Deadly desires #31daysofhalloweenprompt #purgehendrixprompt • • Catching up slowly but surely. Who watched the latest US Democratic debate? I'm not even American but gosh...I had to... there are people who wait for the world cup, Eurocup and there are people like me who start to get hyped up for all that US election drama two years before the primaries. (I mean who wouldn't) Even though there are way to many people still in the race.. see I like politics so I know exactly who these people are... I don't know how an average Joe would be able to differentiate the strong from the weak.. some people need to get off the stage, run for senator and try again in 4 years. Except for Bernie I don't think his heart can withstand the hype around him as it is. Phew! That's my little rant of the day. The debate inspired this poem, we can listen to politicians debate over the 1% controlling too much, (Lord knows I'm a sucker for Bernie.. I can't get enough of his angry grandpa at the deli complaining about the hike in cold meat/prescription prices shtick 😂 he delivers the truth is such a cute angry way - it's just warms the heart) sticking their fingers into every pie, but it's obvious who will be a pawns to their schemes and who won't. • #poetrycommunityofig #octoberprompts #prompts #promptchallenge #promptlist (at Goa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3xrmkIlihU/?igshid=9afmktcspis

I prayed for her to come back. I prayed for my bride to walk down the aisle, stand at my side, anything to get away from these pitying looks and awkward smiles. She's been missing three days. I'm still praying, bring her back. I'll give anything for her to be in my arms. There is a knock at the door. I can see nothing outside but a lone shadowey figure, My heart races. There she is standing, my love, in a muddy torn wedding dress. I open the door, and she runs into my open arms and with one wicked grin, begins to eat me alive. • Ahem a little micro horror story.

Lament for the last believers, written in the stars, shines a dark omen, wise men often, see the future written on the pages of the past, helpless to hinder each civilization, madmen left to chisel, sins on headstones, megaliths foretell inevitable destruction, where darkness overcomes, when man no longer lifts his eyes up to heaven, the herd leads itself to ritual slaughter at last. • I was reading Graham Hancock's "Magicians of the Gods" and this spilled out. I love when my fascination for history, mythology and religion produces little nuggets of whatever this is. (Doomsday literature?!) The poem is actually quite long. But I'm going to post it in bits and pieces, because it's very long winded and (I feel) super pretentious, and that needs delivery in small doses. 😅 • I feel like I have alread written for the Prompt "Dark omen" & "on my headstone" but there are no rules. #31daysofhalloweenprompt #purgehendrixprompt • #halloween19 #halloweenpoetry #writingprompts #promptlist #inktober #inktober19 #octoberprompts #promptchallenge #writingcommunity #writingchallenge #prompt #poetryprompts #apoemaday (at Goa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3sesKVgAkG/?igshid=upxmpc0vuogm

Why do we refuse to believe that people can fall in love just as easily (and quickly) as they can fall out of love? Doesn't love and hate originate from the same place? • Prompts "pretty parasite" "whips and chains" #31daysofhalloweenprompt #purgehendrixprompt Hosted by @purgetraumapoet &myself • Apologies, I'm so terribly behind on my own damn prompts.. it's ridiculous. I blame Instagram 💯 for limiting my activity. I am convinced I will be able to catch up on everything. • My parents ask me all the time now to just marry, get settled, when will this happen Michelle? If marriage/ long term relationships were as easy as just deciding to settle down and just get on with it, for the sake of being with someone. I would be surrounded by happier role models growing up. It's such an odd thing, I don't even have high standards. I just want to live happily with someone who isn't physically or emotionally abusive. That's the line. But it seems I have to break away from quite an ingrained inheritance. You say one thing one day and then you are making excuses for the same the next. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3p7UL6lUQY/?igshid=uotxhgpeqezk

Son of man. • Day 10 prompt "Doomsday Prophet" #31daysofhalloweenprompt #purgehendrixprompt Hosted by @purgetraumapoet &myself. • I've been reading 'The Family' by Ed Sanders and have been bingeing a lot of Manson family related documentaries lately. (what can I say... True crime is way better than fiction, it has a bit of everything, family drama, teen pregnancy, someone mistakenly eating Belladonna and tripping hard for three days in the desert, kids running away from home, a family trying to keep bad kid from getting worse, chasing fame in Hollywood, the Haight in the the 60s, even a beach boy has a role in the tale) Sigh* I'm such a True Crime Junkie. The world is full of lost, broken souls. Easy prey to some people, those who emit a sort of aura, a magnetism, black holes in human form, sucking in any soul that strays too close. I know if I crossed paths with one of these predators, I would be trapped under their gaze instantly. • #halloween19 #halloweenpoetry #writingprompts #promptlist #inktober #inktober19 #octoberprompts #promptchallenge #writingcommunity #writingchallenge #mansonfamily #charlesmanson #cults #poetryprompts #prose #bymepoetryindia #untwineme (at Charles Manson's Spahn Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3c1rZaFh3S/?igshid=pa0068nwcrj1

"Tea, No milk" A Poem by @l.l.thompson • I'll admit I'm a bit partial to this poem by @l.l.thompson When a prompt births a piece about tea, I couldn't be more happy. (is there anything I love more than a hot cup of tea... Nope! C'est mon drogue parfait). And who hasn't from time to time taken a peak at their tea leaves only to see a mythical creature staring back near the handle of the teacup (which means death is near). • • Day 8 Prompt Dark water #31daysofhalloweenprompt #purgehendrixprompt Hosted by @purgetraumapoet & myself • #halloween19 #halloweenpoetry #writingprompts #promptlist #inktober #inktober19 #octoberprompts #promptchallenge #writingcommunity #writingchallenge #prompt #poetryprompts #apoemaday https://www.instagram.com/p/B3buKmPle1d/?igshid=cmqyrug9xh49
