Here are a couple of recent poems written in response to image prompts put out by Realistic Poetry International on Twitter. Both were written live, on Twitter.

The artery of humanity
branching in paths unknown
thin veins traversing
the fertile landscape of the world
Through the capillaries
though hardly perceptible
runs a shared thread
the collective subconscious
which makes us whole
despite our differences
Copyright Henry Martin July 06, 2018
Our pains and memories
like tree branches
spread from our cores
through our existence
Some see a tangled mess
sore spots rubbed to inflammation
where our experiences
collide with a clash
Yet I concentrate on our trunks
deeply rooted in our past
able to withstand
any storm

Impossible Love, a Poem
This is a new piece I wrote on August 06, 2018 while sitting by the water. The scenery brought back some memories of long gone days - days spent on an island thousands of miles away.

Poems
Here are a few new poems from recent days.
Procrastinate
When the darkness seemed impenetrable
a drink from Lethe
was all I desired
hoping to start again
A tabula rasa
not yet stained
by horrid memories
I'm glad I procrastinated
for had I found it
I would have lost the moments with you
that made me who I am today
___
Dignity
Cracked lips gasping for air
as I curl up in pain
shaking with silent sobs
no one will ever hear
The wet pavement
soothes my agony
as tears mixed with blood
seep in between the stones
You have used my body
and threw it away
but my dignity
will never shatter
and I will live on.
___
Approval
Who knew
an act of kindness
could set our worlds ablaze
Two hurt souls
finding in each other
what we needed most
Our unholy union
the thorn
in their side
In mad passion
we clashed
against tides of hatred
But when you sought their approval
we became lost again
to wander alone
