2/2 👆

My time traveller lover had not lied. We met again just like he promised 50 years ago.

But he was still young and I now a silver haired woman in love, much much older.

It was the month of March, soft rain drizzled outside the station as I sipped my coffee, wondering if I’d made a mistake. When the train suddenly arrived with a screeching halt! As a sunlight of brilliant sunbeam kisses heated my face.

1/2 👇

Whizz
Too fast moving
Jars me so
Stand silent
In the shadows
Timid & afraid
To let real feelings show
I felt a smile once
Capture me
Knock me sideways
Dart away
Inside maybe
Just tuck your knees
And go
I had to flee
Before she found
She followed me
Touch softly so
I know

"A side #quest? In this time and age? I don't even want to live the main adventure, I just want to lie in bed until everything is over."

#VSS365

Too timid to be
Taken seriously, I
Tip-toed through my life.

Lis & Jay were surprised by the #obsessed crowds at the illegal & dangerous Broomstick Races, placing huge bets on the winners. No surprise was that a certain Welsh wizard was tweaking the #velocity of the witches' broomsticks.

@cribbowens.bsky.social thank you for an excellent first prompt.

Moody seascape, dark wet rocks, and misty waves with cliffs on either side.

I glance my reflection in the pool,
the me of shadows and moonlit ripple.

How did she come to this place?
Of broken shell and #timid star,
of stony sand and windswept dream?

I reach, but I cannot touch her,
for she floats in seas and drifts in memory.

the timid, are easily
intimidated

At last, his quest to have her love was coming to fruition. She sat across from him with a demure smile on her face. He smiled back & winked at her. He'd dug up her grave & rescued her. He stood & dabbed at the dots of oozing pus on her forehead. #vss365 #Satsplat #horrorprompt

#vss365

found her abandoned
wet hungry & wild
dirty brown & almost broken
She was silence personified
But motherhood
broke her quiet
she would guard her own
became a fierce, protective queen
Upon her cardboard throne
Touch them once, hear the growl
She wasn’t #timid no more

Life rewards the bold who stumble forward through fear, yet quietly honours the #timid soul who dares one small honest step anyway. True victory hides in the courage you never boasted about.
#vss365

in the still hush of midnight
she breaks the seal of longing
his words ignite a hidden fire
while #timid flame trembles
too frail to rival the passion
that blazes in her tender heart

They walked through endless tunnels, occasionally passing through larger hallways but they didn’t see any more windows. The only light was the ball of light Bill maintained. He was getting cranky – he knew it. He didn’t normally consider himself bitter or timid, but the way he huffed and puffed told Ar’Thyl otherwise. I know we are in a situation outside of our control, but I do not condone these negative thoughts you are displaying, Aludim. We will find a way out of here, wherever here is. Bill sighed. “I know. It was a fortune for us to wake up, knowing we were taken care of. I still long for fresh air and home. And I miss him. You know that. I don’t know if we are a thing, but I miss him!” I know, I can feel you. Ar’Thyl tried to console his Aludim. We’ve been away for too long. Home is important for us all. But we must face this challenge and persevere. We will find our home. Bill smiled. “You’re right.” He hugged his friend. “We’ll find our way. It does seem we’re walking up more than before.” Yes, it appears so. I do wish the tunnels were more cave-like, so I could stretch my wings occasionally though. They continued walking in silence for another few hours. Noticing the stone in the walls becoming less smooth and made of different types of rock. Bill thought that meant they were moving through layers of the past while walking through the system they found themselves in. I see you are getting tired, Aludim. I suggest the next suitable area we find, we hunker down for a few hours to rest. Bill stretched, “I wonder how many steps we’ve done these past couple of days. I need to get one of those watches!” He laughed. “Yeah, let’s stop soon. There are caves every once in a while, I’m sure we’ll get to one soon.” It took them another hour or so before they came to a larger space, allowing for Ar’Thyl to stretch properly. There was a stone slab similar to the bed he’d woken up on this morning, and behind it a plate of something that looked like a br…

Bill stretched, “I wonder how many steps we’ve done these past couple of days. I need to get one of those watches!” He laughed. “Yeah, let’s stop soon. There are caves every once in a while, I’m sure we’ll get to one soon.” It took them another hour or so before they came to a larger space, allowing for Ar’Thyl to stretch properly. There was a stone slab similar to the bed he’d woken up on this morning, and behind it a plate of something that looked like a broth. “I think whoever is watching us agree that this is a good place to rest. i wonder why they are helping us? I hope they’re not hansel’ and gretel’ing us!” You are right. Ar’Thyl sniffed the plate. I do wish we’d learn more about them. What are these people you spoke of? When we come back to Al’Edos we’ll need to research in the archives. Bill nodded, “I’ll tell you about them some other time. It’s about being lured into a false sense of security.” He tasted the food, before he practically inhaled the plate. “That was delicious!” He yawned. “Think I’m ready to kip. Do you have enough space over there?” Don’t worry about me, I’m fine, I have plenty of space. You need rest. Sleep well Aludim. Bill laid himself down on the slab, amazed at how comfortable it was. He let his light go out, letting the darkness comfort his sleepy eyes as he drifted off to sleep. #VSSFantasy Fortune #VSS365 quest (28) timid (1) #VSSDaily away #VSSMagic condone #Emoetry Bitter #WIPSnips Face #WeirdMicro n/a

Happy you’ve enjoyed :)

It is! Thank you :)

I'm excited to begin my time hosting #vss365! What will you do with the first word? Don't be shy... show me your creativity with the #prompt #timid.

#vss365 #poetry

I’m hanging upside down
From the dusty beams
In the mind of my head
Come & find me only if
You dare to climb the stairs
Without any steps
& not afraid of the dark
Don’t be #timid be brave
I’m just a 5ft 1 lady creature
Some might say from Venus
But I reckon Mars

Essie was sick of hearing about Meona’hane’e, her little sister’s spiritual mentor & her work crush’s wife NDN-way. The woman had gone for a #walk & now according to all augury & Moccasin Telegraph, was on some sort of major #quest.
Essie hadn’t had a work crush in 50 years.

Quest for knowledge in
A ruined world, the chaos
Of starting from scratch.

to help promote a just peace

This skin,
this skin,
doesn’t fit-
I’m uncomfortable
I cannot stand,
I cannot sit;

quest for soul,
quest for more,
the wrinkles
and freckles
keep the score;

This skin,
this skin,
is mine for good
I would not trade it
if I could

angling through the branches is beyond the path of light
a predator quest for prey is perception through scent and sound

news channel feeds the latest
on
drone strikes
radar stations
authorities

there is no loyalty

made of machines
or
in the hunt for power
it's
war on them
peace on us
