#emoetry #unconvinced They say There's a right A wrong way Polite & proper Smile Eye contact Talk about the weather Never shy, always hide The truth Keep it inside Play the part and fit in Salute, march, disguise Mold your form Until you become Everyone I, for one Am unconvinced

#poetry Anxiety is an anaconda Cold, patient Armoured in silky smooth scales Tasting, seeking Your warmth Climbing slowly, wrapping round Undulating, massaging Gentle, welcome Cold, stealing away My warmth Squeezing, wrenching, constricting Cracking ribs in delight Waiting To swallow me whole

#emoetry #yielding Why am I Always the one Yielding? To try, to change, to say it the right way To be someone else Wanted, loved, seen For once. Did she ever Read the book I wrote Listen to the words I said Or say the 3 I need to hear? What side of the wave are we riding? What good is hiding?

#vssfantasy #seafarer Ebbing with the ocean Pulsing with emotion The seafarer plunges His oar into water Parting the waves with passion Riding the crest upon crescendo Mooring his boat in the hidden cove To collapse in rapture Upon the shore

#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'

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. #vss365 #poetry #air

#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?

#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…

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 #vssfantasy #poetry

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. #emoetry #wildwalkprompt #whistpr #vssdaily

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. #RetroArtPrompt

#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.

#vss365 "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."
