Lovely

#vss365 #pain #emoetry #rejected
There's freedom
In embracing
Pain
It crawls inside
Infects, becomes, erases

Bleached coral bone
Film from the darkroom
Exposed to the light
Shards of fractured pottery
Growth beneath decay

When the fraud
In the mirror: rejected
Script redrafted
Redefine 'me'

#emoetry #over-emotional

Sickening

#emoetry #passive
Dude
She said
It's ok, dude
I'm not mad

Why don't you
She said
Get some lunch, big boy

Fucking bitch
He said
After squeezing
His trigger

One
Two
Three

I'm not mad
She said

But I am
Mad
For her
Her wife
Her son
This is no time
To be passive
Resist
For her

#emoetry #official
Did she pack him a lunch
With his favourite snack the way
Only she knows how?
Did she kiss his forehead and say
She'd see him after school?

Do they tell her son
Why
Mommy's never coming home
Will his friends watch
Her murdered on TV
Only 6, but yes
It's official
Fascism USA

Loving you
is instinct,
not decision.
It happens
without asking
my permission.
I reach for you
the way lungs
reach for air.
Even in silence,
you're what
keeps me steady.
Without you,
everything tightens,
grows urgent.
With you,
I remember
how to live.

#vssdaily #founder
Who
Which
Of the two
Was the founder
Could it be she who discovered me,
Was I the one who found 'er?
A castle
Built on shifting sand
Was that the foundation
Or
Did we ride the tides
Waves crashing
Two tossed in the tempest
Clinging to the question
Do you
Love me too
Do you?

#emoetry vindicated #vss365 #air
Black knight drags
Sabre through sand
Challenge laid bare
Adorned in boasts, dressed in brags
Tattooed heraldry, unholy brand
Questions hang, infect the air

Galahad the Great
Tried to turn the other cheek
One too early, one too late
One survives to vindicate

#vss365
Brick by brick
Cell by cell
Note to note
Building, rebuilding
Composing, decomposing, revivifying
One breath, two hearts
Four souls behind the door
Taking the reigns to restore
Physical, mental, spiritual
#Health
This season gets better
With each episode

I made a mistake
I don't know what's wrong with me
Please, please forgive me

I will #learn to love myself.

I do not wish to
Possess your chi, only to
Connect as partners

Beautiful and sad

#moonlit #vssfantasy #unearthly #vss365

Sauntering through the moonlit glade, ‘neath the silvery, unearthly glow, a coven mutters an incantation. Veiled from praying eyes, hands clasped, the siblinghood of sorcerers harbours refuge for their own, prepares ruthless retribution for vexing intruders…

Thank you!

As they wandered through the #feywild
Stepping over spores
Tasting the fruits of temptation
Wondering, was it real?
The Half-Elf and the Druid
Neither knew nor cared
For if the fey realm was a dream
It was a dream they shared

I love this one. Very powerful.

A super moon fills the frame, glowing in sharp detail against the black night sky. A few leaves intrude on the lower right, as I tried to catch the moon off guard, though it always stares straight back, never candid.

Seems always ready
Why is it so hard to get
Candid moon photo
