A few chapters into Gideon the Ninth and I'm still not hooked, but I think I'm getting there. It's very lore heavy which makes it difficult to get into, but I'm going to stick with it. #booksky #amreading

I'm in an angry mood. This one's called Good Girl. #vss365 #purify #poem #poetry #booksky #writesky
Roll over and take it like a good girl.
Don’t cry, don’t make a sound.
Why do you have to die so loud?
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you poison.
Disobident little bitch, asking for too much.
Lick your wounds and shut up.

The only thing I’ll lick is your blood off my chops.
I won’t be quiet I’ve suffered enough.
Bore my pain like a cross.
You praise the sacrificial lamb.
Butcher to the block.
Call it rebellion, you sadistic hellion.
Demanded the right to be alive.
Now I’m branded as the bitch you couldn’t purify.
Not asking anymore, I’m taking what’s rightfully mine.

Bad Harvest
I got so much love and nothing to pour it into.
How can having too much feel like not having enough?
A single drop can hold the ocean, but the crashing waves of the depths I feel will wash away everything I hold dear.
Drought or flood?
It’s your choice, the crops will fail either way.
Darling, the forecast has already been appraised.

Mirrored Scar
There will always be a scar between us.
The jagged edges of broken trust.
Like shards of glass.
Thought I was the villain until I wisened up.
Distorted mirror, the image doesn’t look right.
I barely recognise us anymore.
A piece of you is lodged between my ribs.
If I pull it out I’ll bleed and bleed.
Guess I’ll have to learn to live with this pain in my side.
Unfair, because you’re not even by my side.

I wrote this poem about my great-aunt's passing. I never got to know her, but after going through her belongings I realized how similar we were. #vss365 #pull #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
Acquainted With Death
I never knew you, but I keep a piece of you with me by my side.
I wonder sometimes if I can feel your presence.
Do you watch over me?
Remark on our similarities?
Work your art through me?

Witches in spirit and blood.
We only met a few times.
But I feel your pull, guiding me from the other side.
I mourn a person I never got to know, but I’ll get to know you in death.

Go to hell.
Don’t need your help.
I can make it through without you.
You wanted to drag me down.
Defenestrate me and turn me into a broken tool.
Why?
What did I ever do to deserve someone like you.
Severed the line, does that make me the bad guy?
You know what, I don’t even care.
As long as I don’t have to see your face again; I’d gladly be the villain of you and I.

Don't really like how this one turned out, but oh well, it is what it is. #vss365 #batch #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
Oblivion
It comes back to me in bits and pieces sometimes.
Like shreds of a dream, forgotten but lurking just underneath the surface.

The deep black pools of oblivion call out to me.
“Just a little closer, don’t be afraid, we only want to drown you; you’ll choke on delight, submerged in every feasable pleasure.”
“You know you want to. We’ll never stop taunting you.”“Cried out to you as a child, you heard our pleas; wanted to be just like me.”
“We had you in our grasp once and we haven’t let go. One day you’ll come crawling back, you’ll go barking mad--begging for more.”
“Don’t say we didn’t tell you so.”

Bemused whisper got a taste, brewing up another batch, it’ll sit here until you crave escape.
Waiting, waiting until your last of days.

Balancing Stars
I don’t wanna be anyone else but me.
Despite what you say there’s nothing wrong with the way I am.
Who cares if you don’t understand.

Can’t undo the pains of the past.
And I wouldn’t if I could, even though I’ve spent many nights wishing otherwise.

Balance, an angel told me.
Adjust the scales, everything will fall into place.
Trust that the missing pieces will make themselves known.
Already so far you’ve come.
You’re not one to settle no matter how much you try.
For you the stars align.

#vss365 #quietus #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
The tide is shifting—took a while.
I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting for a long, long time.
In the quietus amidst the chaos I clung onto hope to the point of madness.
Stumbling through a scorching desert collecting drops of rain.
Licking the bottom of my cup—I never have enough.
A sip of wine makes me delirious out of my mind.

Tell myself that things will fall into place.

Where's my high functioning autistic people who got so good at masking that it became second nature at? #poem #poetry #vss365 #victory #writingcommunity
The Game that Everybody Hates
Were things better or did we just not know better?
The ignorance of childhood.
The cruel innocence that came with it.
Unminced words, frank observations, I was often accused of being rude.
We sat in a circle and you taught us honesty is the best policy.
Turns out all adults do is lie.

There were so many things that went over my head.
I think it takes longer for me to catch up.
When did everyone else learn this stuff?
Shame taught me better than you ever did.
I think twice about opening my mouth.
Took me a long time to figure out we’re playing a big game of pretend–and it’s not even fun.
Everybody hates this game.

I became too good at it.
So many veiled victories piled up that I forgot myself.
Who am I under these masks?
Guess we'll never find out.

I had a writing teacher who told me, years ago, that you need to write until you find your voice.

And once you find it, that's it, you don't get another one.

I have to remind myself that my voice is good enough the way it is instead of wishing that I had a different one.

It took me a long time to find it after all.

Ghost of a Lover 👻🥀 #vss365 #midnight #poem #poetry #writingcommunity #romance
Ghost of a Lover
Your hand holds mine, creeping sensation, confused with elation; sends a shiver down my spine.

Invisible fingers prod at me.
The ghost of your lips.

Nameless lover at midnight, a walking dream, something has gone terribly wrong--you suddenly turned mean.

I open my eyes and sigh.
You disappear for a moment, out of sight, but your presence lingers.

Being an adult feels like impostor syndrome. #poem #poetry #vss365 #primitive #writingcommunity
Juvenile Crime
Nothing’s changed since I was a child.
I still get bored out of my mind.
Baby faced, it’s easy to mistake me for being younger than I am.
And I play into your hand.
Embarrassed to admit, I’m not the adult that you think.
Primitive urge to paint with crayons and glitter.
Sticky fingers and a smeared mouth.
Cartoon reel twenty-four seven.
Everything about me is juvenile.

This poem started out pretty sad, but I was able to put a positive spin on it thanks to the prompt. I think I'll call it "The Pursuit of Beauty". #vss365 #wondrous #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
If I squint my eyes I can almost see the beauty all around.
A mirage in the distance.
I close my fist around it and it is empty.
Beauty cannot be grasped.
Persistant illusion drive me mad.
In this ugly world I need something to chase.
Let me be your conduit, wondrous things I’ll make.

I call this one "Jeez". I think we all know at least one person like this. #vss365 #remnant #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
I feel lonely sometimes, but never as lonely as I felt with you.
I don’t think you realized all the little ways you told me that I was wrong.
Know you’re not the most confident, but still, jeez.
Remnants of our last conversations pop into my head.
I have so many regrets.
Primarily that it took me so long to tell you to sod off.

Distorted Lullaby
Resonate with my soul.
Mind blown.
Familiar song, I don’t know the words, but I hum along.
A remnant of a time when I didn’t know any better.
Sometimes I miss it.
Then I remember all the growing pains.
It’s only beautiful in hindsight.
A comforting lullaby, distorted by time.

Just finished A Deadly Education, it was a fun read even though YA is usually not my cup of tea. I'm a massive fan of the His Majesty's Dragon series so I wanted to check out Novik's other works. Will definitely be reading the sequel! #booksky #books #reading #bookrec #writingcommunity #fantasy
A Deadly Education, Naomi NovikI’m usually not one for YA fantasy romances, but I had to give Novik’s book a chance. It was surprisingly enjoyable and an easy read. I did struggle a bit at first with the “edginess” of the plot and the MC’s powers of doom, but Novik’s writing pulled me in and it didn’t take long for me to get sold on the world she had created.

I especially enjoyed the relationship between El and Orion. It felt different from the typical romantacy tropes, although this book is definitely more fantasy and less romance.

Brightest star in the sky.
Trying so hard to stay alive.
The years have been endless.
The years have been endless.

Flickering ember in the sky.
Hold on to hope, please stay here for a while.
The tears will be endless.
The tears will be endless.

Without you I’ll surely drown.
Your guiding light inspires me time after time.
How can a dying wish be so radiant?Stellar remnant in the sky.
You’ve been gone for a while.
The years have been endless.
The tears have been endless.

I forget to mourn from time to time.
Catch myself smiling a bit too wide.
There are infinite stars in the sky.
None of them are you.

I travel to where you used to be.
Pick up your remains.
Is it cruel to take your place?
I need to be someone’s reason to go on.
Otherwise I’m a waste of a soul.

Post your favourite book quote (or paragraph if you will). #booksky #quotes #TheSecretHistory #books #reading
"Death is the mother of beauty," said Henry.
"And what is beauty?"
"Terror."
"Well said," said Julian. "Beauty is rarely soft or consolatory. Quite the contrary. Genuine beauty is always quite alarming."

"And if beauty is terror," said Julian, "then what is desire? We think we have many desires, but in fact we have only one. What is it?"
"To live," said Camilla.
"To live forever," said Bunny, chin cupped in palm.

The more I get to know myself the more I become a mystery.
Some things can't be explained, only felt.
I used to make lists of all the adjectives that describe me.
Now I tear them to shreds.
I want to wear my inside on my outside.
The pieces that consist of me, I want to show them off, hang them proudly on the wall.
Not hesitant to take up space anymore.
