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

During our
#candid exchanges,
I strip the layers
from you
like #bark
from a tree,
getting right down
to your #crimson
heartwood.

What I seek,
no more than
the size of #pea,
just the essence
of you,
all that you are,
the tiny weight
of your soul.

Some day there
will be tales
of how we
clashed
like great titans
and rained
thunderstorms
on Athens;
we shook
foundations
and rattled
bones,
we wrote
tragedies
and
Lifetime
melodrama;
there may have
been something
we both
needed to learn
but we must
stop our ruination

#vss365 #poetry

Last whisper of a dream,
light as a feather
floating through my mind
as I awake—

I reach for it
but it tumbles
back

d
o
w
n

into the depths
of #gloom
to float there
until I call it forth
once more
when the dreamer
returns.

#vssfantasy #lanternlight
By the faint glowing light of a burning lantern, the adventurer spies a glint of gold. Treasure to be sought, or a trap to lure him in? Only one way to find out. A hand clad in a steel gauntlet reaches out to grasp an ancient artifact, clutches riches, succumbs to a curse.

#vssfantasy #wraith
A white and rotting hand rips through the last layer of moss as it ascends. Free from the box in which it was buried, the wretched wraith emerges. Shuffling through the moors, bathed in moonlight and dripping with ichor, the wraith rides on, in search of belonging, until dawn.

Thanks, I was going for a bit of playfulness there. I do love SP.

#emoetry #vanquished

Alone and quite scared
Cannot vanquish all the fears
Time to invite love

#haiku #blueskypoets #poetry
You will never know
The ache, pain and suffering
Of being unloved

#haiku #vss365 #exhausted

Pretend we can't smell
The corpse of normality
Are we exhausted?

#vss365 #doorway
Standing at the edge
A room made of metaphor
Binary syllables frozen in orbit
One&Two in the open doorway
Fingernails gripping, Two digs in
Glances down a sheer cliff behind the frame
Two and one grasping hands turn on axis
Many doorways from which to choose
No need for one to lose

"Is he #conscious?" The doctor pondered
Monitors hummed with satisfaction
Morphine dripped into John Smith's veins
Nurse in White lifted a dead arm to confirm
"He is, but will soon wish he wasn't,"
The coma ended, peace with it.
His family never survived the crash
"Time to wake up."

#poetry #haiku #autumn
Looking forward to
The cold and damp Autumn days
Suits my dying heart

Rows of jagged teeth
Rip and tear asunder
If we could try to realign
The zipper of our cozy jumper
Warm and safe, inviting
Then we might explore the world
Wouldn't that be exciting?
