Cactus' sun


Cactus held a jar tightly
With his face full of glee
He couldn’t flee
Or hide his passion
Today he was on a mission
To catch the sun

Cactus drifted out far in thought
Will the big jar be enough?
He measured the jar
Opening and closing the lid
Fogging the inside
Cleaning it squeaky clean
Humming “my sun”

Cactus was running late
Cactus needed to get there
Where the sky opened up
Where the golden rays…
Those blissful rays….
Didn’t last that long

He held his jar up
With bated breath
Waiting……

It has been a solid two months of posting and I want to thank those who have read every post! You know yourselves. Why saltedpen?   Salt adds flavor and preserves. Using the pen I want to bring about a change infused with those inherent qualities. Mathew 5:13 says it much better. History month was great but I do have to admit being confined to bounds of a theme did bring some sense of appreciation for structure (bound by this word…structure>>> follows me). The patience of writing, the beauty of it; the fact that it flows from a thought makes it so exciting. The final full stop leaves you with glee and even though you don’t know how it will end …..You write. It’s more like life. All the pieces may never seem to fit but when you reach the twilight, that’s when it starts to make sense. And through a pair of brand new eyes illuminated by God, you look at things differently. For the next posts will be theme free; unless there is one…anyone. T h ank you again for your reading...

Chase

I won’t chase after….  Something elusive Something dismissive Something invasive That borders on the repulsive I won’t chase after toys Something coy A ploy That will make me burn like troy I won’t chase after… Something wickedly seductive That makes my emotions captive Derives pleasure in my pain I can’t chase fakes that break down Costly mistakes that bring a man down The stakes are high And down the stake you go

History kicks off: Love protest

The next two months will be 'history' themed. Basically i will be posting some work done in the past and new ones...enjoy. I will start off with a protest Give me two words To refuse to diffuse this Emergency of redundancy To restore parity In this unjust travesty Give me two words To silence the voices and Remonstrate with passion To this uncouth detention Of my munificent heart Give me two words To send a war cry To gather arms and call My loyal ally chivalry To fight by my side Give me two words Like an expert hunter With a tinge of callousness Drawing you closer Knowing It’s only a matter of time Give me two words Pulsating and pleasant Disarming and enchanting Charming and fascinating Captivating and enthralling Coz in the end That’s what you are So give me two words That is definitive Love protest!
