They spoke of the night sky in ancient #literature - old Luna framed by a billion pinpricks, smiling his knowing smile.

Yet we bid farewell to the stars, embracing the ebon abyss, knowing they were never for us.

Just twinkling memories, fallen as forgotten tears...

Dark heart
Marked soul
Can't lose
Control
Just have
One goal
Must play
Some role
Trust may
Be stole
Rust away
High toll
Must have been
My roll
Die cast
Not whole

Just my #education

#vss365

We had no #creature comforts
Where I was born & bred
We worshipped triple-beam dreams
Razor blade cuts
& lined-up scenes
Suits & ties?
Shit...they were nothing but
The fruits of lies
Laughing
While the spark
In our eyes dies

PERSONA has been called "wildly mythic" and "excruciatingly human."

Do you have your copy?

Razor-traced lines
Cutting into an
#Argent filigree
The pain
Exquisite
Each line
Beautifully defined
And it's killing me
My feelings be
Unrefined
From a sundered mind
An Escher artwork
The ending
Underlined
And all I ever thought
Of myself
Now undermined

🖤🖤🖤

We're trapped here
In this petri dish #experiment
Microscopic menagerie
Living & dying
Under harsh light
Never knowing
If the last goodbye
Will be our next
Goodnight

'It's going to be ok', I think to myself as the voices - dead voices. Ghosts - #creep in, whispering in hidden corners.

Hungry.

Worms eat as worms do. Burrowing with malicious malfeasance, erasing & displacing all positive thoughts.

And my sanity? Nothing but a meal.

It's all going to come down to one final breath. The big things and small. The worries, fears, and preoccupations. Those you hate & those you love.

Forgotten in a final gasp.

The world will continue its #heliacal journey, until it too gasps its last.

And all is quiet.

The river is beautiful today. 🖤

Treated myself to a haircut and pizza.

What are you doing to be kind to yourself this weekend? 🖤

😁😁😉

On Saturdays we do exciting things, like hooking up the trailer and going to the dump. 🤣

After a couple of weeks hosting my own personal pity party, along with being sick...

I'm back. 😈🖤

My idea of a wild Friday night...

No matter how dark things get, you can always find some light within.

Be kind to yourself.
Love yourself.
You deserve it. 🖤❤️🖤

Thank you 🙏🖤🖤

Thank you 🙏🖤

Unsought & #unseen
No one thought
He had dreams
Yet so caught
He sewed seams
The threads ripped
& Wove screams
His head gripped
Ran through scenes
The dead slipped
To all themes
& Bled script
By all means
While red dripped
To extremes

😊🖤🙌

We ain't got much time here. Love as hard as you can, as much as you can. 🖤

#GoodNight

#HumpDay is almost officially...behind us... 😆
