These days
Fall short
In simple ways
I remember too well
The vibrant hue
Of summer love
Where starlight shone
And the moon filled the sky
Your lips caught mine
Between a thought
Then held them
For a time
Such rich reminders
Against a pale
Snow lit gray
Today

Some days I wrestle
With the bleakness of my mind
Chasing words through shadows
Too full to follow through
Feel the weight of them all
Pressing in on self
Skulking in their hollow planes
Daring me to clutch at them
Before they burn my hands

Your erotica prompt for Wednesday, March 4 is β€œheavy.”

As always, explicit language is allowed β€” nay, encouraged.

Picture perfect
Beauty lying
Bathed in moonlight
Soft silver beams
Glow against her
Tender warmth
Enticing
Lost in layers
And tapping directions
Lean in with purpose
Presence cooling passion
Blood sighs
Exhaled breath
Brings stillness to all

When peace becomes ascendant
and every weapon is laid down,
those who once relied upon them
will see that violence was not the way.
And at last, the world will find
the peace it long has searched for.

There were many paths
To becoming Ascendant,
Dying was just one.

None of you were timid with your splendor, as I knew would be the case. Enjoying your #vss365 posts is such a privilege. Now, to cloud things up a bit, I offer a #prompt with several meanings. Whether you choose to go liquid or visual, the word for March 3 is #cataract.

My heart beats slower
Since you stepped away
The world slips forward
And I lose another day
My heart hears echoed footsteps
Fading in the night
My mind rings every doorbell
Searching for new insight
I miss the sun at dawn
Rain sparkling in your eye
Miss the soothing song
You sing to me each night

Prelude to insight passes
Thought belief tested
Known becomes expected
Rise inside to feed the need
Devour freely & sincerely
Taste acquired after dark
Sweet shadows warm
Call frequently to me
She knows & dreams
Pulled into sleep with
Dripping memory eagerly

The longing was fierce,
A thing of claws, caged for too
Long, a piercing need.

Whizz
Too fast moving
Jars me so
Stand silent
In the shadows
Timid & afraid
To let real feelings show
I felt a smile once
Capture me
Knock me sideways
Dart away
Inside maybe
Just tuck your knees
And go
I had to flee
Before she found
She followed me
Touch softly so
I know

#OurPoetryX @OurPoetryX
Prompt for 28 February

-Rub it in-
Make it stain more deeply, basically. Pressure imprints more deeply, rubbing blends them together. It’s ok with paints or colors, but with feelings it can hurt and be abrasive.

From the vault: Purest love

She is my joy
My everything
One glance, one touch can
Render me speechless
As long as I have I will
Embrace this night
Follow each curve to oblivion
Learn the shape of her universe
From the inside
Exploring the
Darkness of depth
