Within the veil of waking
I briefly floundered at sea.
Through pink-blue plasma
and brine-chattered teeth
I spat my reality free.
There I choked,
holding my throat,
concluding my #voyage of dreams.

#whistpr #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

I tried speaking to #power,
pleading, the act of breathing
leaving bleeding tongue
tasting sour.

The gnashing teeth of beasts
soften, cracked and rotten,
only when the phantasm
is shattered.

This here's the genuine #article:
Genuinely cobbled by docile models;
only the best synthetic marble.

Behold the digital prodigal
led by apostles with six digits
and warped optical.

Everything's possible
when you give up your reality
to the differently logical.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #micropoetry

Flayed thought sifted through solace.
They mock us.
Remain #conscious.

Poison gold hoard corroding knowledge.
They rob us.
Remain #conscious.

Broken backs cracked by Moloch.
They prod us.
Remain #conscious.

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

The stench of sweat and
blood and wretch.

This is the scent of the Homeland.

Rot gum pundits
spit #pungent breath.

This is the scent of the Homeland.

Decay breaking bridges,
expanding the gloom.

This is the scent of the Homeland.

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

I feel the #malignant creep
of bleeding fees,
cruelty sprees, of
bloat suck fleas.

I hear the indignant pleas,
the rattling screech,
as the red-lipped leach
drains our society.

I see pigment policed,
stone-hand labor leashed,
sleaze skin favors greased.
So goes the wheel of the beast.

Is my kin of the living?
Feeding on sentence
to stay its heart beating.
Practicing #sentience
to feel what we're feeling.

Do our souls still shimmer?
Or has the glow been replaced
by blue light fade dimmers,
productivity clocks, and
robot father figures?

#vss365 #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

I do. Couple short stories. Haven't submitted much lately, though.

Praise the grey landscape
of #mundane depravity,
blood specks on slick slates
of soiled reality.

Turn down the screams,
the echoed insanity.
Isn't it easier to breathe
when suffering's the modality?

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

Breathe in
Breathe out
Seek quiet
Seethe loud

Sin leak
Mouth sheathe
Riot teeth
Now bleak

Breathe out
Breathe in

Hold

Now begin

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

Have we hollowed our spirits?
Followed our dreams to
pits of disease, carving our souls
to fit our ravenous feelings?

If you're hungry, start eating
the beasts that feed on
the insects flitting between
abject fear and relief.

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

Cue the pink matter.
Electrified,
crystallized,
sprouting #wings
and tendril eyes.
Pumping peptide
cell divide.
Flower, bloom,
let me inside.

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

How long has the #mystical been derivative?
Meticulously filtering power from the primitive.
Lacquer liminality with presence of the definitive,
but know you'll never find the true face of the limitless.

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

They frame the #rainbow,
then drain the paint.
They bend and break
seven shades of gray.

They cleft the color,
sever the rays,
screaming peril until
red in the face.

Crystal Soul, Glow Again by CrystalCap You are The Enduring. Speak or Strike. Survive and Grow.

While I primarily consider myself a writer and poet, I dabble in any medium that makes sense for a story. I decided to submit a small #ttrpg to @onepagerpgjam.bsky.social called Crystal Soul, Glow Again, about growth and perseverance.

Check it out if you want.

Who makes the #rules when the #rules are whispers,
slip skin snakes wrapping fools in riddles,
suggestions of folly and black bagged whimpers
surging through circuits like gangrenous rivers?

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

We ostracized, vilified, and wronged Together Built bombs to stomp out our qualms Together Ratted out neighbors for gain Together Rounded up, chased down, chained Together So why can’t we feed our kids Together? Why can’t we build a bridge Together? Why can’t we heal our sick Together? Clasp hands, tighten our grip Together?

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry #together

Three copper pennies
Exude more hope than gold
Clutched in a tiny hand
Held close to a heart unsold
Commotion of chaos rings
Foreboding spikes tenfold
Yet all that matters is now
Tears hide a tale untold

#vss365 #inkmine #fromoneline #poetry

Little death comes in tiny cuts
Blood leak slices of skin
Pain that reminds, chimes
The moments of unwashed minutes
Layered over each other
Till new flesh is ready again

#poetry

Gold fed silkworms
and frozen #tears,
the sorrow of sovereignty
stripping its gears.

As the cold whispers
lick our ears,
they package and seal
our pleading fears.

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

Can you hear the whispers of history
wistfully told,
borne along the currents of
the futures we sow?

To have known the old souls
dripping onyx and gold.
The echoes of past sorrow
trapped in their folds.

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

thoughts lost
under the influence
these dreads of #wisteria
back against the bole
decorticating to survive
#wary outside the perimeter
violet, snapping boy's cat
keeping the wolves at bay
left alone to drown in poison
shedding indigo tears

#vss365 #whistpr

crouched behind while a giant crashes down the road, big blue, big bright blue neon teeth so you can’t look away, only open, slowly, onyx, crying out loud from your dirty-yellow light in space, an ant as it finds you, holds you up to its face, opens horribly, and just keeps opening

#whistpr #vss365

Been so #wormhole weary.
Feeling gross sick sad, so
void flow bleary-eyed and
distress rested dizzy.
When does this black pit
get filled with pity
so I can stand atop,
see the horizon clearly?

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

Pierce fear
Run it through
Stoke the fires
That burn in you

It’s okay to falter
It’s okay to shake
But never let the brigands
Break the bonds you create

#writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

Black bubble borne of slack mouth,
hanging open, catching Christ crosses
to crack the coffers, then spit them out.

Does the wine taste of gold?
The flesh split even?
Or shall we blame the rot
on those still believing?

#writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

Slime skinned and dope sick,
dripping nose, unequipped.
It tripped quick for the Politick,
but fell victim to split lips

stripping tongues of info spit
#radioactive rhetoric.
It fiends until the fill of it
rips its spirit from the ligaments.

#vss365 #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

Lend us your wings
effervescent being,
external, #sempiternal,
gliding amidst winds, disguised.

We dissolve in light,
burning brighter than
corporeality requires;
the absences filled with blight.

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

Who's #guilty? They asked
as they rose from their seats,

Was it the poor?
The elites?

They pointed their fingers
anywhere they could reach.

And when it came time
to make their decision,

they remained standing;
their digits lingering.

#vss365 #writingcommunity #writing #poem #poetry #micropoetry

Where's my #lullaby ?
My dreaming of better times.
Shutter eyed and grinning,
soliloquies shining crystalline.

Where's my peace and quiet?
My soft singing flow aquiline
leading to Spring beginnings;
I yearn for the song to be mine.
