#Soulwords Prompts
Hi Everyone,
As some of you may know I started a prompt account on twitter about a month ago called #Soulwords. I wanted to let my fellow bloggers aware on how it works if you wanted to take advantage of it to promote your work :). I give out prompt words every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and the Weekend and I retweet any poetry that uses the prompts. You can also use past prompts from the list if you indicate the word you are using. All you have to do is use the hashtag #Soulwords to indicate you have used the prompt so I can find you.
I also retweet blog links if you are using the prompt word. I love promoting my fellow writers/bloggers/ poets and just wanted you all to know a little more about my prompt site. You can view my latest prompt by clicking on the link and seeing the pinned tweet on the page. I have also taken a screen shot for you for this time. If for some reason I miss your post, don’t hesitate to message me and let me know so I can retweet you! 🙂

Thoughts & Musings
Sometimes words fall short
to articulate the feelings of the heart
that runs like the steady beat
of the love I feel for you
Poetry on Earth

I lay
listening to the quiet sound
of summer rain
tapping on the window
of my heart,
writing poetry on earth.

I land on my forgotten dreams,
from the lost window of my mind,
as they drift away to far off places,
leaving no traces behind…
Trying to remember what I’ve forgot
To forgot what I remember
My mind plays with me
Or is it other way around?
Scared, I turn to my heart
Silent
My heart has no need to play with words
Thoughts and images
I ask a question not needed to be asked
“Help me?”
Pulsing it soothes me with the primeval song
And I know
I know my dream.
I return here
for a moment
to this mysterious place
that for so long seemed
so far away
Years together
I have been waiting for you
Succumbing to the pain
I look through the window pane
For a moment, my thoughts stick on the space between us
Not realizing space is meaningless
We separate ourselves by emotion, culture, experience
Yet are only so far apart as a moment of thought, connecting our spirits
Distance is no match for my memory of you
Your smell, your form, the delicate way you turn your eyes
In my direction, your touch…
And my anticipation of your return shows
In the path I’ve worn, leaving pieces of my heart
On this window sill and the doorstep and the steps between
Oh, how I long to step out
walk free
I’ve been locked inside this room for eternity
The fear I know is only in my mind
yet I can’t break free
So I will look out the window of opportunity
and put off my decision
till another day
Move on, move on,
Oh sad and lonely soul.
Your eyes are athirst
For the water in a mirage;
In truth, the jug was never as large
As you recall.
As thus, you’re longing and lingering
For a false love;
For sooth, it was never there at all.
Look ahead, look ahead,
Be careful, lest you fall again,
For the figurine in your dream
Will crack and tumble down,
It will break and scatter on the ground.
Alas, it’s the shards of glass to penetrate your heart
For wanting what was never yours.
Arise, move on, move on,
Oh dreamer of the night.
observing the horizon, with hopeful eyes
awaiting for a New dawn after this tormenting night
a night walker I had become
on this so elaborated land
I used to have control over here
but my mind has gone crazy, missing you indeed
here and there I observe my forgotten dreams
all destroyed, burned or simply over and gone
Only one star above leading my way
watching all, seeing nothing
feeling pain for the forgotten love
missing all, having nothing
I sail on grey forgotten seas
from dreams remembered
of damaged things
Night sky wanes with dimming stars
I struggle to awaken from afar

Under the white veil of clouds
Under the white veil of clouds,
wishing farewell to the day,
we drive away.
