empty air

—

losing you

on the battlefield

was decided as ethically wrong

but these politics that drag on,

are like daggers.

Alongside,

a monthly reminder

that we should be kinder.

There’s not much more you can do

when the support needs to be true,

our skies can be filled

with so many things.

Silence of our Friends,

once again.

No bubbles bursted

on the observation deck,

carrying on

simply delays the reality check

Maybe this is

tomorrow’s redeeming quality

In all fairness,

we’re satisfied with the oil of an olive tree

hush money

—

the journalist versus the sniper.

But it won’t change the story,

the truth never dies.

colder than the truth

—

you are

doing really great things.

And I know

it’s easy when people are suffering

to think that

this is just what must be done.

But we always have a choice.

We don’t have to do any of this.

A situation will take its course,

and you decided to not

ask so much of

hope.

We congratulate greatness

once it’s all said and done

but I want to acknowledge it,

while it’s happening.

socially challenged

—

I already know

they’ll call you a fool

waiting on the right conditions

Falling in love is

so much easier in your mind.

Looks good on paper.

An engineer’s nightmare.

Sugar & spice

under solid ice

chain letter stitches

—

I kept the orb to

whom it may concern

it’s the lessons in the wine

that has torn time

thieves of the starlight

robbing us of everything

except for ourselves

reflections on a still lake

that make you forget the skies

but we will always be here

.•.peako green•.•

[peakogreen]

what was imposed upon

—

cutting in line

could be a sign

or a bad omen

in times new roman

you don’t have to remind me

that these people aren’t angels

maybe they were but

trauma is a fish out of water,

we don’t ask

to be put in these situations

auntie had nothing to lose

—

If you don’t think you’re a riot,

I can be funny for the both of us.

If you don’t think you’re smart,

I can be dumb for the four of us.

Life hugged me so tightly

and told me

it doesn’t always make sense

but everyone has their reasons.

Don’t let it get in the way

of finding the love.

loving yourself is a ride

—

It’s not you,

it’s the program.

unrealistic, unreasonable,

irrational.

They made hating yourself fashionable.

It’s sad

when you find out

there are no superheroes,

no sorcerer to take you under their wing.

we really do have to stick up for ourselves.

dommage

—

you lie

to make your point

like being right

is more

than what we have tonight.

I just rather be,

than strategy.

But I know

we have to put our pain somewhere.

Sometimes I look at life

and wished I could pause it

to tell you I wasn’t worth the deposit

pack a low l’eau

—

stepped into our relationship

and warmth was my only baggage

Much like the seasons,

things can get colder.

I just wanted to hang loose,

off the shoulder

.•.peako green•.•

[peakogreen]

just how you are

—

there’s plenty more love

beyond the duty

but working harder

didn’t throw me further

into your beauty.

I know who benefits most from our effort

but I never gave too much thought

to whether water

is wet or not

.•.peako green•.•

[peakogreen]

repeating ourselves

—

there’s power in the sour,

there’s a beat in the sweet

a culinary artist

who just wants to make love

to your taste buds

Stars play their part

and the segues

were à la carte

conversations can be

a walk in the park

funny stories

the size of an elephant

feelings so good

we could tell them again

Here are this month’s Peako Prompts.

Feel free to use them however & whenever you like :)

giving your daydream a stir

—

while we build our empire,

destiny and reality conspire

telling each other secrets,

leaving our ambition in the dark.

They say

wishes are for children,

and desires are for adults

but what about

our treasures locked in the vaults?

I can’t forget hope as

easily as you do

laughing at limitations

to amuse you

.•.peako green•.•

[peakogreen]

the plan was peaceful

—

the thought of

love when I get home

got me through my twenties

good things

take time

and really good things

need to be defined

the world hasn’t seen our success

it doesn’t know what to expect

through such a narrow scope

and pushing it open

was the care of hope

.•.peako green•.•

[peakogreen]

sweating for nothing

—

a colourful arch

in a swampy marsh

we can get along

like Oletta & Yvonne

the nuances can tell a story

but we don’t have to read into them

If the sun told me it loved me,

I’d tell them all ways that you rub me

I suppose

what I’m saying is,

there’s a lot of cleverness

in the right way

.•.peako green•.•

[peakogreen]

in her imagination

—

usually, I keep myself safe.

Some may say

I learned

I don’t want to get burned.

But you play with pretend fire

and I think that’s pretty cool
