Come to me
At the edge of night
Where shadows
Become voyeurs

Witnessing our luscious throes
Screams & howls

Aroma of #blood piercing
Arouses heady intoxication
That first dark kiss
Had me craving for your depravity

Ultra-Fibre, Zero-Soul The Desynchronised Life of Milo P. Earwicker

[...]
Milo sits in the silence of his flat listening to his heart beating at the speed of blood and writes a letter to Lila by hand, each word arriving from his mind to the paper at exactly the right moment.

The rustle of words, drowning in my blood of things I’ll never say. Our eyes of mirrored flame, lost in the gasp of open air, quiet sips of each other once warmed our skin like poems brushed across lips. Yet I have no picture to tuck into an old buckling box, no echo of your heartbeat burned into my chest. Only a silent history— our waveless sea, our windless storm. Affection, commemorated in fading breaths and the soft imprint of “you were here,” dusted over my heart.

Thank you, Bethany.✨

You are better off
watching the flowers bloom,
playing with the dogs in your yard.
Let the tears that fall
rinse the pain,
while you dance in the rain
cleansing your soul,
making you whole again.

#pain

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 3 is #pain

"After great pain, a formal feeling comes –
The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs –
The stiff Heart questions 'was it He, that bore,'
And 'Yesterday, or Centuries before'?"

'After great pain, a formal feeling comes', Emily Dickenson

#vss365 #📸 AstroBackyard #Poetry

I carved myself out of smooth sandstone gravestone

Sparkling dust in the shape
of a glorious nebula

My #soul refuses to lie dormant
Particles of me become the universe

Forever eternal
In a sea of dark light, I am immortal

DRAGON versus HYDRA

Ask me when my head’s in a bin,
And I’ll say “Dragon”,
'Cos I’d rather feel fire on my skin.
Hack off an arm,
And it's probably the mind venom.

Either way, it’s all legitimate,
'Cos every punch counts (cheers, Clubber),
#Pain, by definition, ain't easy.

#vss365 🤯🔥

#vss365

Impress the night,
stare into its chasm
with clear eyes;
#Pain is not trusting
the sun will shine,
imprisoned in
an endless night.

Exhausted,
I hug my pillow,
pretending it's u.
The world doesn't
owe me anything
bcs my heart shattered,
but it taught me I can pick
up the pieces

Hello #vss365 Friends!

Our next host is @nathanbrazil.bsky.social. Prompts will drop at 4 AM GMT. Not only is Daniel a talented & supportive writer, he also moonlights as a song whisperer. Several of the songs I shared came from his recommendations. Big thanks to Daniel for the soundtrack support!

We needed this today. Beautiful verse ✨

I love this idea! I flipped it to Flipboard and it looks great! I'm grateful for the shares, thank you Bethany.✨

we inflict #pain
unable to see the hidden
tripwires

and people hurt us

little cuts
hardly visible to the eye

but we are all bleeding
all the time

yet we love
we care deeply for one another

it's up to us to create
a safe space
where someone can say

i'm hurting, and i need you to see me

She wanders the backlit alleys of the brokenhearted, the torn-out pages of words hobbling on cobblestones, disconnected from pen. Her soul is a held breath, a moment dangling from marionette strings. Searching for something she cannot name: a touch, a quiver, a soul’s kiss, a marrowed soothe spoon-fed, dripping with warmth, life fluttering above her palms.

#vss365
#soothe

You left songs for me in our field of pale pink cosmos, where we walked, fingers brushing under a matchmaking moon. You hid them in ballet‑slipper blooms and mosslit braids. I listen for your thrum of step, but you’re already gone, chasing the red strings of your next almost. Now, unstrung, I drift in the fog of our once‑gilded song.

#vss365
#thrum

What if the door is closed? She’s tired of bartering for dreams woven from the teeth of “never enough.” Pain is nothing more than blood traded for rust. The girl, the insufficient girl, crafting broken stars from her forsaken garden of forget-mes. She is wilting dust in the periphery of some eye, somewhere. Her shadow-thin soul quivers Slam. What if it was never open at all.

#vss365
#pain

love is
a long, lingering spell
of wordless wonder
fragile yet unyielding,
seen and unseen,
a mystical dance
between soul and its shadow.

#vss365
#shadow

she kindled a watchfire
against the darkness
planting torches
at the rim of night
flames that endure
and do not bow to the wind
passing without spectacle
between #shadow & barbarity
unextinguished
holding the line

With the scarcity of #souls these days, is it wise to buy from a merchant in a darkened alley? What are they really selling? Maybe gravedirt laced with gibbering madness. I've lived without for years, and rarely feel its absence. Only in the deepest night, when I feel the moon tugging at me.
#vss365

Dandelion seed head glowing against a warm sunrise or sunset sky.

My #soul speaks in riots
quiet though they may be.

Can you hear it?

Or is it but a whisper
a cacophony below a summer’s green,
a storm folded in brooding sea.

Or am I but a firefly
stealing kisses from the sun?

#vss365

Happy evening beautiful people ❤️

right before sunset
foam splits in two or three lines
