Early dusk and squally. Beach Crow calls the fleeing gulls poltroons, but they don't understand. I suppose corvids aren't scared of anything. 'Oh, we're all valourious,' Beach Crow says. 'Course, yer can't be brave til yer been frighted.' #inkMine #writingprompt #tinyfiction

safe harbor, a blush of haste leaning in from #kiss before. an acquired taste on the face of “what was that for?” lips lovingly laced, intertwining mouths form savored contours. danger abates, sensuous sapphires blink half open. beating heart, a shimmering swoon that hope elopes in. #inkmine

Hellfire licks Full of pleasure and sin Darkness wails As every shadow whispers A taste of hunger 1 kiss is all it takes Don't be afraid Come take a bite Feel the spine tingling soul chills Throughout your body Diverge yourself Into this madness called love

The word nailed itself to the wall between us. It was the first shadow. I remember it clearly. Spineless. It was a poor joke. You hung more words from that one nail, did it to death. There was space for one more. It was my turn. Goodbye. The world fell for you tho for me, it grew brighter. #inkmine

Your sails aren't fueled by kisses. They are fueled by knowing these discordant winds could be far worse. With these sails, you've scarcely managed to navigate round the giant poltroon robot - the one a thousand spineless sycophants formed to strong-arm their way through this. #inkmine #sail #vss365

Portal to the sky
Aching blue reaches forth
Savor vivid final glow

an unmoored canoe
floating through lily pads

Forsaking water's kiss
Nuzzles earthy bank
Water meadow's peace

above the clouds
the places I visit
in my dreams

Beanstalk climbing
Roots in humble earth

beach fences 
holding back the sand
but not the storm

Mummification

Valour had set sail by the time silver moonlight poured through the window. This spineless sycophant did not even say goodbye.

"Poltroon!"

- He thought, quailing, weary of desire's dreams. Trying to stay awake, he still hoped this grail would pass, tonight. Until he grew weary of hope. Then he grew weary of being awake, too.

The moment he had fallen asleep, Lily rode into the room on a silver ray. She smiled at the sight of this perfectly imperfect human.

Tonight, she did not come to snack.
Tonight, she would come to feast.

Her lips made the gentlest contact with his. Docile, his tongue answered to hers, longingly. Her kiss deepened softly until she got a hard response. Then she rode him. Long. Passionately. Come again? Of course. Harder, each time.

He earned every wrinkle...

Branches brushed lightly against the window at dawn. Right before the sunrise's gold poured into the room. It is rarely spoken of, but the morning does have a sense for elegant morbidity.

Skunk cabbage drinks
Kissed by dappled sun
Maple watches

garlic mustard —
invasive and edible

Sun warm harm
Dominant by the roadside
Scotch broommm, ah-cho

eyes wide shut
my infant daughter sneezes
at first light

Rocky chair sniffles
Or a walk in the park

Boston Public Gardens
my granddaughter asks
where the swans have gone
