Combing through the silence. Of empty rooms that have forgotten the loud. No voices. To wake the heavy dust. No laughter breaks the shroud. Silhouettes stretch across its floors. Leaving traces where vivid light used to play. Chill spectres walk the halls. As heavy shadows move and sway. #vss365

Combed through by silence,The empty rooms forget the loud.No voices wake the heavy dust;No laughter breaks the shroud.The shadows stretch across the floor,Tracing where light used to play.A ghost of warmth still haunts the walls,But heavy shadows stay.

* written for today’s prompt of comb.

*Black and White image of an old decaying doorway leading to a hallway.

I think of you in sunshine. The chaos of the wind. I remember you in laughter. In softly falling rain. You are the salty tears. You come to me in darkness. Take away my breath. I hear you in the stillness As you softly call my name. But mostly you are sorrow. The face of all my pain #vss365 #poem

Image: The golden, yellow sun, recently risen above the horizon, casts a long golden pathway across a calm ocean. Along the horizon the sky is a soft, gold colour fading into a light blue towards the top of the image. The ocean is a silvery blue colour.

Winter air so sharp it catches in ones throat as though physical pain There’s no poetic beauty in departure No dramatic thunder Sudden rain mirroring tears that come with crushing pain There’s only the reality of resignation & the mundane grey of decisions made long ago on an overcast day #vss365

Here’s one for today’s #vss365

Galibier, 1998
after Pantani
He rose not with tactics, but with need, as if the mountain
owed him something. Rain blurred the road
into memory. Mist licked the hairpin bends
like breath
on an ageing mirror He was out of the saddle, but never out of pain, only deeper inside it, driving toward some clarity
the flat could never give. Behind, the peloton twisted,
calculating.
But this was not maths. This was poetry
on a gradient. He vanished into the cloud, a wraith in rain, all ribs and rage and the hunger to be more
than what they saw. He reached the summit
alone.
But glory is not shelter. Headwinds met him on the descent, and the storm
waited
on every bend.
The Galibier gave him one day
when nothing touched him.
Not the rules.
Not the whispers.
Not even gravity.
And then, as all gods do,
it let him go.

She feels empathy for her own heart a wind that starts and stays, soothing, as she builds a base for her future, knowing temporary steps count she keeps what's written near, and she dares to alter the air, choosing simple shifts that lift her as she grows. #poem #poetry

He was called out, The headwind It brewed just right He was thrown out The headwind Drowning him In a body of New life. Night after night The moonlight Pathed the Broken concrete’s way Day after day, Through the Skipping of cracks And the faces Of broken saints He set the way back #vss365

Unabashed shadows rise and fall. Their quiet held then stilled. As golden threads hold tight. To their last fading glow. Twilight stretched in no rush to greet the night. Lingering for memory's sake. Not fear of what dark brings. Hushed upon its dying light. To hear the last bird sing. #vss365

Unabashed shadows rise and fall.
Their quiet held then stilled.
As golden threads hold tight.
To their last fading glow.
Twilight stretches in no

Lingering for memory's sake.

Hushed upon its dying light.
To hear the last bird sing.
