Remember to breathe.

[Alex Bellos @AlexBellos100]

The last man alive
shall never die
shall cleverly lie limp
in the Reaper’s shadow
covered in the cold ashes
of his back turned brothers
of his #barren lovers
I swear on my life

I fought thoughtlessly
rolled the die #diligently
my number was up

#vss365 #Haiku

[Alex Bellos @AlexBellos100]

I’m afraid of the unknown
and what’s stranger than death
still I approach it steadily
living a little at a time
leaving behind
bewildered breaths
that speak spectrally
with #haunt and hate
I catch a scourging curse
as I kiss caution
with brave blue lips

#vss365

[Alex Bellos @AlexBellos100]

The glass on the grass
an ill-fated future thrown
death in a #dewdrop

[Alex Bellos @AlexBellos100]

The war waned that day
some say the clouds played their part
diffidence and #doves

@derickijohnson Thanks

[Alex Bellos @AlexBellos100]

I will never love a lemon
adore a dormant bat
fall for a foot fearing
welcome mat
hold #dear a rampant moose
have phone sex with Dr. Seuss
so waits a wary heart

@BrooksiesBooks Thanks! That’s kind of you

[Alex Bellos @AlexBellos100]

Imbibe the
water window’s wisdom
with sand-laden ears
hearken to the garden’s
colour squaller
Daphnes deafen
hyacinths holler
and well-read roses
scholar
within #jading walls
the scent of silence

@BrooksiesBooks Thanks

Memory
my memory
all at sea
renounces
menace
in its charge
they say
that I gaze
obliviously
blissfully
at starlight flinch
#undersea sparks
pinch with purpose
gulp
gulp
sulk
you’re not
the memory of day

#word

Save us
from certainty
the people plead
nearing nothingness
and its
necro-necessity
forwards
from posterity
we dare to live

[Alex Bellos @AlexBellos100]

I’m lost in a #loop
I make all the right choices
I’m lost in a #loop

Thanks for loving me
leaving me
taking part in my life
participating
heart

Is he waiting for a comeback

One-time wife
am I suffocating you
with this so long sash
Miss dines on dicks
twenty twenty-six

There’s a #letter on the bed
sweets

Did you fumigate the bed sheets

[Alex Bellos @AlexBellos100]

@redsaid1 Thank you

[Alex Bellos @AlexBellos100]

If one more wish
coddled fish
should chum
another yawn
I’ll land you
in hot #water
you’ll roe the day
you were born

[Alex Bellos @AlexBellos100]

Eschew the
chilling sea
drenched
in ruin
wreckages
and silk
#sinking
through its
poor facade
be shore
at the
periphery
of peril

a zephyr
a serenade
intwined
a zephyr
a serenade
intwined
his mind
to rn
between
love and
lachesism
he #sings
he sings
a suffering
storm
she hears her
own demise

I came upon a gasping gull
shocked by its endeavour
Neptune’s nuptial vows on breast
the #ink I think of squid
attest
it read
to love and leagues
land I long for
marry me
