Heidi Gloom

Eons of silence
#poetry

I could see the war
inside the storm of his eyes
Hell was behind us for now
but there would always be a next time

You tasted like dread & discontent Or was that me sucking on my own tongue? When our belly is split our entrails tell the truth, don't they? #poetry #vss365 #vsspoem #HeidiGloom #elude

Doom Poetry
I had a knack for cherry-picking madness
always riding the wave of an idiot crush
& you, showing up at my door wondering if my mind was still in the gutter
& if an old scab needed picking at

Sometimes I don't swallow
Sometimes I eat the worm
Will you chew the purity out of me?
Upon being gifted a bottle of Mezcal Tequila
There is no worm, too touristy, he says

When Armageddon comes, this is it, maybe

I am on some countryside, sitting on some porch, drinking champagne and smoking clove cigarettes, Johnny Cash is playing in the background...the wind is in my hair and hot against my skin...and the fire just keeps coming....

#poetry

She lived too violently
Too many stage lights lit, the neon signs flashed bone beneath transparent skin
and the music..the music...the music, baby
The la, la, la, la, la's
wailed like a ghostly melodic lament, you see, we first had to die to live

Good morning writers & poets. I finally had time to write a little Snake Venom last night. This one is called "The glaring nipples." I'll post the full chapter in the comments. #WritingCommunity #novella #youngadult #comingofage #shortstory #YA #paranormal #fantasy #supernatural

love this!

A murder of 13

He wanted to know
what happened to my passion
It is not quite melancholia… it is something far worse
but what, exactly? How do i explain
It is probably just the microplastics in my brain
or the longing for things that are not meant to be mine

#poetry #poetrycommunity

The heart wants
what the heart wants
until it has it
& doesn’t want it anymore
that is always the worst part
of the cycle of longing

A #sparrow falls from a tree
God, did you notice?
Do you even see me?

Do you remember
that girl who wore her shyness
like a religion?

From the #poetry archives, because it worked for #vss365 prompt #tears, and this one deserves a revisit. You can thank my obsession with Bukowski for this one
The Sperm of 400 Men.

#Wisteria Tea
Was it god that whispered into your ear,
"It is suffering that makes you holy..." ?
We were laying silk on top of steel
thinking we will become softer, kinder
soft like the spill of shine
from the silver needle grin of the moon

Not Haunted Enough

You were one of the few
who could pull me from a daydream
I don't think I ever told you that

We try to be #mellow,
And most days we are

Snake Venom Part 2 Chapter 3 – Slice Slice Baby Read Chapter 2 I stayed in bed most of the day, nursing my hangover and lamenting the events of last night. I kept my head under the covers, every once in a while peaking out to reassure myself the…

Good morning Poets & Writers. I have a whole week off at home, so I'm going to try to write like a mofo, for both 🐍 Venom & the Dark fantasy WIP. Full chapt in comments. Link in bio if you want to start at the beginning. #YoungAdult #Paranormal #Supernatural #ComingOfAge #fiction

reject humanity
morph into a bug
The world will crush you anyway
This way you get to disgust & annoy
everyone first.

Good morning poets & writers. Have a cup of coffee with me.
"Things to Crush up" from the poetry archives

The car crash
That split me in half

#innocence #vss365 #poetry #vsspoem

I was a red-eyed rabbit
With a #wormhole inside my pocket watch

Thank you

Good 🌞writers & poets. From the #Poetry Archives. It happened to fit today's #vss365 Saving Sylvia Plath...who perhaps could not be saved, even if I had a #wormhole
Plath gets a nod in Snake Venom as well.

We had all this pain
we didn't know what to do with
except to let it harden inside of us

Crawling on our bellies into a #wormhole

Snake Venom 2. Haven't been able to give this one up since it's been an escape & stress reliever for me. I had more than 1 person DM me & ask for more supernatural. That was always my intent, but maybe not exactly what you were hoping for. Full chapt in comments. #WritingCommunity #youngadult #YA

I've been trying to focus on my #darkfantasy, but inspiration hit me for 🐍Venom Part 2, so I had to pause & get it down on paper. I might have a new chapt. tomorrow or the next. In the meantime, if you want to start at the beginning, a link to the novella is pinned in my profile. #writing #YA
