#vss365 #vsshorror It had been many decades since he’d been banished to the isolated #island. So when the ship with no #sail crashed into the rocks: his sea green eyes glowed, licking his lips in anticipation. It’d been years since he’d had the taste of human flesh, alive or corpse.

I live on an island deep inside my mind on the beach I stand I live on an island counting grains of sand listening to shells I find I live on an island deep inside my mind #vss365 #island

She restlessly roams the #island searching for clues about how she became trapped here There is only the slap of small waves on the shore the occasional biting insect and an uneasy musty smell that tells her this is definitely not home She longs for her ruby slippers Roberta ❤️‍🔥 #vss365 #poetry

Where do souls go at life’s end Perhaps only a boatman can say Perhaps only Charon knows the way to an isle of transition A restful place with no decisions Island of the dead isn’t vindictive only Cypress trees glass seas and light #vss365 #ipoetrysky #Emoetry #poetsofbluesky #ECK 🎨 Böcklin

Arnold Böcklin
The Island of the Dead, 1883
(Die Toteninsel) Version 3

The Island of the Dead is the most well known painting of Swiss Symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin (1827–1901).

Description:
A boatman ferries a lone figure garbed in white to a rocky island with gorgeous Cypress trees, surrounded by glass-like waters.

Böcklin provided no public explanation as to the meaning of the painting but described it as a 'dream picture.'

The title was coined by art dealer Fritz Gurlitt in 1883.

Not knowing the painting's history, some observers interpret the oarsman as the boatman Charon, who ferried souls to the underworld in Greek mythology. The water, either River Styx or the River Acheron.

#vss365 "Avalon is landlocked," he shrugged. "So I like seeing the water when I'm here. #Sail away somewhere." A couple of kayaks drifted past. "I always think it would be awesome to fly." "I thought you hated planes?" "Yeah,"she pouted. "I mean literally be able to fly. Don't look at me like that."

It started as a black smear and grew into a monster. A ghost ship needed no sail. It wasn't moved by wind or anything natural. What drove it most of all was greed and a desire for mayhem. Today, your #vss365 #prompt is #sail

Through the gaps in the brittle floorboards of her sanctuary, Ilyna watch’s the storm rage below, ravaging the Lower Docks and barely causing a shudder up here under the Bridge. She’d heard a #hurricane could pass underneath and cause little trouble, but she wasn’t so sure about that. #vss365

In the CIC, the flight deck crew watched the enormous swirl of the #hurricane in the planet’s atmosphere. A storm so big that it could devour a moon, and the last place where the lone, errant Enemy ship had been seen. Dylan watched different screens for the ship with intense concentration. #vss365

And so it began in the heart of a hurricane impatient love and hate beat down everything #vss365 #hurricane #writesky #poetsofbluesky #poetrysky #photography #photoart #EastCoastkin #ECK #WCK 💙📷 me (Full text in ALT)

Hurricane

Dust swirled between us
Between you and me
and the sticky seat
of a beat up lorry

Hot breeze
whipped my tattered slip
as we rambled on
past dry rivers of emotion
tension stretched out
time and pulse beat on

I stared out of the window
out of myself, and thought
Disappointment
could break a lesser heart

Resistance
drove me away from you
Simple proof
the wind steers on its own

And so it began
in the heart of a hurricane
Impatient love and hate
beat down everything

Shallow traces of reluctance
once found on your face
must have been grief

A moment of truth passed
between you and me
on the sticky seat
of a beat up old lorry.
°2026, Hurricane, Winter Ives.

The letters were calm on the surface, but beneath the ink Anna felt the rush of love and regret that had spun through Nana’s life. Then she came to the letter that hit her like a hurricane. Her nana wasn’t who she thought she was and neither was she. #vss365
