what a calculative move that was?
took three steps back bravo!

would have butted head
made a move
an attack
defended the thing
called ‘respect’
but sat tight lipped
head bowed
seething at oneself

carved the spectrum
of truth
only to erase
concede to the lies
be mute

narrating the story
of glories
huh!
no home
is home
just fury

buy yourself flowers
tortured poets
soothing words
bleeds like dark blood

built a sanctuary
to flee monsters
yet trapped with one

tick-tock-tick
taunting time machine
laughing dreams
dead pleas
silent creeps

wounds of words
never heal
time runs
never stays still
loss of prayers
among hive of pleas

who is the object?
to whom you define
or the one you
write thee

projections are many
words are uncanny
lies drip like honey
coated with life of
a bee
who once smiled
to flee
in lands of wonder
galore of blooms

it stays still
calculating her move.

………………………………………..

Prompt: Write about an object in your home only you know the true story of.

Here is my submission. I might be late but I just finished this piece and posted it as soon I was done. Hope you all love these uncanny words. ❤
