Friday Fictioneers – Door Porn

What is it about doors?

Everywhere I go, their beauty, the architecture attracts my eye.

I know, I’m not the only one.

The fun, the flair, the je ne sais quoi!

Behind these gateways, the hopes, dreams and dramas in play.

There is an element of sticky-beakedness.

An innocent curiosity.

Doors call, ‘look at me!’ We do and begin to ponder.

What joy lays within. What secrets.

Old doors, new doors, admired for their artistry.

And the work of their creators.

Beautiful distractions from dreariness.

Reasons to stop and live in the moment. [93 words]

Friday Fictioneers – be my guest

And there I lay

Traffic passes, while each breath I take cuts like broken glass.

The hours drag

As neighbours dine, as bathers to bed, and lovers etwine.

A heartbeat slows

As colleagues wonder, ‘where was our friend’? Absently asked.

And there I lay

As coppers knock, corpse decays, soul in shock.

A lonely death, but soul set free

No longer yearning, sadness.

And there I lay. [67 words]
