Which person's past
Reflects his heart?
How may I guess
Where you did start?
Under pristine views
'Neath skies of blue
You stand renewed
Past storms that blew
A mystery in turn
A colorful #conundrum

#vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

Listen or listen not
Stay fresh, ripe or rot
Unflinching this right to creativity
Battling that morbid #eventuality
The specter that for us all
Comes, men big and small
It cares not who is right or wrong
Even the most ruthless, fear its song

#vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

What ruins tell of forgotten tales
Spun with grace from golden yarn
In wake of storms long since passed
With only echoes of a bygone charm
To deem myself immune
From such kleptomancy
Shall leave me to assume
A #bellwether of lunacy

#vss365 #writing #poetry #writingCommunity

If history recalls
That you did not #flinch
It makes a story grand
And will do in a pinch
But grander yet the story
Of the one who #flinched
And shivered, and doubted
And pressed on,
Pummeled but unbent.

#vss365 #writing #poetry

I too, dream of the tyrant's demise
No matter how slim today that #chance
The time will come, and he will pass
Even the cruelest will have their last dance.
But heed this warning,
Devoid of all mirth
The world he leaves remains the same,
That, in its turn, did that tyrant birth.

#vss365 #poetry

As the shroud falls,
And hope feels damned.
Where truth only whispers,
And lies, down our throats, are jammed.
When fear claws to take over,
And courage gets ever so sparse.
I raise my middle finger to the tyrant,
And all who support his #malignant farce

It was a face, handsome, beautiful even. Yet, as soon as he began to speak, no amount of chiseled looks could hide the turbid thoughts that swirled in his mind, and you could smell the reek of his #malformed soul.

Who shall keep #vigil
Midst nights profane?
For those who carry ignorance's sigil
Wear us down with thoughts #mundane.

#writing #poetry #vss365

Without a shred of care,
Every lie is repeated
Who said what, when, and where
Matters not, we are all cheated.
To win without a sense of knowing,
What winning could truly mean.
You are in a race, an empty showing,
While unfolding this #abject scene

#vss365 #writing #poetry

And just like that, the moment had arrived. That which he most feared stared him in the face. He felt relief, 'no more running from this,' he thought. He saw himself from the outside, his heart slowing down. He began to #laugh at his terror.

The #spider spied her
From her corner
Spinning her web
Watching her work
On the web.
She too, saw her,
Spinning her web.
She thought to herself,
"What a meaningless life"
"Clicking away with only two hands"

#vss365 #writing #poetry #writingCommunity

All dreams within grasp,
All that is needed,
A desire so intense,
All ground will be ceded.
Never mind the odds
Against you are stacked
If you want it bad enough
The code will be cracked
Move forward now
You wont be harmed
Who amongst us
Dare not be #charmed ?

#vss365 #writing #poetry

The fire is squelched
And all will has left.
No desire to resist
No point in this.
The Chief and his Miss
Both sleep in bliss
In their comfy beds of straw
Lets stirke a match now
Lets all burn the Miss and the Chief
Lets dance in the flicker of #Mischief

She lit candles with her fingers and read Ovid in Latin.
They said she was damned.
He asked if she feared Hell.
She laughed.
“I fear dying obedient.”

If eons could pass
In the blink of an eye.
And my focus would last,
Beyond this current high,
Then I too could hear
Against the bark of an #Elm
The #hum of its heart
And the life in its scars

#vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

Just one look
Was all it took
To get me hooked
On that girl named Brooke.
She with the hair
Like golden braid
And the smile
That stayed
Bold and unafraid.
To drown forever,
In a joy imbued
With thoughts of her
With the eyes of #sapphire blue.

#vss365 #writingCommunity #poetry #writing

What tempest of emotion
In ocean of humanity
Crashes against shores
Of an ancient complacency
Which started with a stutter
In muted suffering
No louder than the flutter
Of angelic #sparrow hovering
#writing #vss365 #poetry #writingCommunity

Just enough sun
And just enough moon
Just enough distance
To make flowers bloom
Welcome to Terra,
Friend of Luna and Sol
An act of chance?
Or a cosmic goal?
A galactic #happenstance?
Or something far more nuanced?

#writing #vss365 #writingCommunity #poetry

With breath that rises,
And breath that falls.
With smiles that shimmer
At memory's call.
With eyes that glisten,
Seeking lover's thrall.
Cruel fates then,
#Tear them all.
As warriors summoned,
To Odin's Hall

Thank you ❤️

In quiet, starless night
Mired with many a regret
A twinkle I saw by chance,
It pierced what mood hath beset
I felt it came to give notice
To not focus on grief's indulgence
But rather, nature's enduring #promise:
For, in time, pain shall become experience

#vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

On a balmy summer 'noon
We shared a love
Midst the poppy's in June
We did more than hug
A wisp of memory remains
Of that #mellow day's pains
Its warmth now keeps me whole
In this icescape of lovelorn souls
#vss365 #writing #poetry #writingCommunity

They fell for your con,
And your pies in the skies,
And now they suffer
And reluctantly realize,
That you wrapped your grievances
And lofty promises
With barbed-wire lies
In #taffeta assurances

#vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

There was no formula
No secret #masala,
He simply took a chance,
And went to the dance.
He forced his doubts to #heel
He stepped on the gas,
And grabbed ahold of the wheel.

#vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

Star grains, in our milky sights
Light beams, across distance vast
Our eyes now, gazing at the starry night
The universe seeks its #nostalgic past

#vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

Crescent arose
In April annoyance
To crisp spring night
Confused by the light
A celestial blight
Midst all the #vagaries
Of shooting stars
For, but hands, she would swat
Away, these fire flies

#vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

Look at him
That #guru there,
The one with all the answers
Your hearts desire
If you dare, ask
He will talk and talk
And fling fancy words
And you will nod and nod
Cause he stops you
From thinking.

#vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

Life, the long inhale
A touch of order
Between chaos-winter
And gentle-spring
A burst of light, love, and laughter
Birth to death, a #liminal epoch
A strand of pearls whose both ends
Exist in non-existence.

#vss365 #writing #poetry #writingCommunity

The arc of History
Towards justice bends.
But a fouler force
Its own way rends.
A #vortex of hate
All-consuming.
Would silence voices
In its wake, ensuing.
Yet here we stand
For time umpteenth
In solidarity with all
On sacred #Juneteenth
