heart aflame, I cry
my burning lips spilling pain
as I am engulfed

The Game
trick or treat, she said
a silly game to pass time
but the trick felt real
It’s Tanka Tuesday Synonyms only day!
And today’s words (which we can’t use) are PLAY and HOBBY. I tried to adhere to the idea in both words (trick or treat, game, pass time) and in theme (her hobby was to play with people). Thanks Colleen. Not sure the theme fits in the traditional rules but t’was fun!
First Love
Like words on the page
before the fire consumes them
I read you deeply
Thanks to Susi at I Write Her for the great photo inspiration / challenge!

The Sound & Motion of Your Heart
when day turns to night
the echo of your heartbeat
stays my fleeing soul
Thanks to Ronovan Writes for the inspiration.
I used synonyms today: echo and heartbeat (for sound) and heartbeat and fleeing (for motion).
Broken
laughter becomes tears
as a fragile truce breaks
reckoning the end
Thanks to the following great sites for the inspiration.
