His #bequest to me sat upon the old oak bar. A single vodka #martini. He was a twisted old cynic, but at least he had a sense of humor. In the drink clung two fat Spanish olives, huddling in companionship. I had a sip. Best drink I ever had. #vss365 #vssdaily

Soul streaks blaze across the dawning sky; skimming ribbons of carnelian, garnet, rose and candyfloss. All brightly tinged with a vivid blush of passion. So marks the rising of a brave new day. #vss365 #Passion

In gloom of night A blood curdling cry Tenacious it rang Filling my soul with terror Then woe As deathly silence settled The end it did defy Insofar as the screams Shrieked again I handed the facts of the case to AI Thereby leading me to the truth My murder most foul was A vixen - courting #inkMine

I slammed my coffee cup on the table. As I poured in the milk, a #stormy cloud surged up through the liquid. Stirring in the sugar made the tempest grow. Outside in the street, the wind battered people and cars. Branches were ripped from trees while lightning split the sky. What had I done? #vss365

how I would hang on every movement as if they were notes of a favorite tune and my limbs just wanted to reach as if you were the sun drawing me like a tree into the sky you made me feel like I could glide effortlessly that my sight was far soaring over horizons and into the future #SenseWrds 271

There is conflict in the desert. The plant life is at war. Chemical weapons are being unleashed into the soil to take down enemy seeds and capture the water supply. It's stealth warfare at its finest. #vss365 #Conflict

I used to marvel at every detail of you. I still do. But sometimes love is complicated and our paths do not align - in this life, at least. Maybe it is time to let you go - perhaps I have grown wings now and I am ready to fly... #vss365 #Marvel

After the stroke, Grandad began to #explore the house each morning like a guest. He admired the barometer. He asked who the woman in the photographs was. Gran told him, every day, and every day he studied her a while and said, "She looks kind. I hope he deserved her." #vss365

Most days I walk past the bistro early. Chairs, stacked. Windows, dark. Empty crisp packets and leaves nestle in the corners of the grand vestibule, as if awaiting admittance into the warm. My routine does not fluctuate. I work to rule. Never flexible. I miss out on the best coffee in town. #inkMine

Conversations #commence stillness and motion converge. Ley lines and star lines, the threading of seams, and distance is a crow flying between bending peaks. Conversations close, fingers speak in wild tongues. I love you…backspace I love…backspace I… Goodnight #vss365 #poetry #writesky

As time slips softly away, frittering into my sunset glow. Lay me down, easy & slow. Let my ashes ember & warmly glow, drowning every lingering woe. Over the earthen urn, Let wildflowers bloom & grow Let me drift gently, softly drawn home to my #autumnal glow. ~rev #vss365

They move through the world as if tuned to the same frequency. Nothing loud, nothing forced. Just two souls in an #esoteric connection, recognising each other in a way that feels older than their bodies. #vss365

Words just look cooler with diacritic marks. Mötley Crüe is far cooler than Motley Crue and naïveté has more cachet than #naivete. If you want to make something cööl, toss some umlauts on it. #vss365
