Ah, the cloying smell of the lifeless Taints the immaculate innocence Of the verdant, shielded camp.

Vicious bullets rain down
Amid the stifling quiet of night;
Over the din of sleep and hunger,
They create puddles of viscid blood.
Ah, the cloying smell of the lifeless
Taints the immaculate innocence
Of the verdant, shielded camp.
A portending murmur of doom
Permeates the air;
A sudden scream of sadness
Perfuses the once peaceful land;
Again, a handful of lives wasted--
Jotting down more names
On the shifting, fugacious sand. "Ambush"

In memory of the fallen warriors during an ambush encounter with the ASG on 17 April 2020, at Patikul, Sulu, amidst the ongoing CO

Unlove ambushed me, oblivious as I was to the clues, cryptic or otherwise, blindsided by nearness if you will, until the sense of distance stealthily creeped up, wrapping me in the arms of ennui that an unfulfilled union brings. The pastel colours of a weary sameness strike again. Ambush #Unlove #yqbaba

Unlove
ambushed me,
oblivious as I was
to the clues,
cryptic or otherwise,
blindsided by nearness
if you will,
until the sense
of distance
stealthily creeped up,
wrapping me
in the arms
of ennui
that an unfulfilled union
brings.

The pastel colours
of a weary sameness
strike again.
Ambush

Dear death,

Ambush me once,
don't threaten me
daily with your shadows,
gives life a bad name.

I shall obey
when my time comes.

Regards,
Karmic Pawn.

We seek convenient answers, our questions structured to encourage stubborn dirt to stay in those dark corners. We just can't handle the truth. Until the dark silhouettes from our corrugated past ambush us. #ConvenientAnswers #truth #ambush #yopowrimo18 #yqbaba

Love 'was' in the air a bittersweet memory, shortlived its adjective; was it the smog, or our egos? which blinded and ambushed us. #air #love #ambush #YoPoWriMo #yqbaba

Luxuriant ivory clouds framing clear blue skies, nature's trojan horse camouflaging tomorrow's ambush, currently birthing surreptitiously in the unseen stratosphere. #nature #trojanhorse #ambush #YoPoWriMo #yqbaba
