Those she loved became reveries upon the dragon's fire biting her skin. None could expire as storming seasons left for a begrudging sun's thirst, though the older she stretched, her feet grew to be ballerina swords to sweat away nights amid fleeting jade. #FairytaleFlash#vss365

of course
it was my own
expiration date
I thought to fear
until I realized
I was so paralyzed
so afraid
of tomorrow
that only yesterday
dare claim my soul
making of me
one of the living dead
with no love
to call my own

I was always torn
between too much
& not enough
afraid to hold her
for too long
& risk
breaking her soul
afraid of not holding her
long enough
that all she feel
is alone
I've always been afraid
I got the loving
all wrong...
Perhaps I'll breathe the stars again when magic fragments into rain. I'll author something akin to wildfire in a blossoming silence that sows intimate heart, & the rise will finally exceed the falling. It'll be soft as bulky bumblebees despite your spirit killing. #Thurds#vss365
I breathed its copper scream into the sunset of my eyes & felt the desperate misfortunes rolling frays on my tongue. Gracious sinner he was, Oscar sank his savage teeth upon my crawling horripilation, unearthing scorching, celadon crickets from each pore. #vssGhostTales#WeirdVSS
The sky weeps an emerald sea in his reckless, restless negroni dreams. I canoe along its snake eye crystals, longing for a collective belonging to move its artisanal secrets into warm truths where relief carries the livid shatters to something beloved. No morrow ghosts. #vss365
