In this silvered glass,the years unwind,
A ghostly echo of the soul I left behind.
Wrinkles like rivers map a life long spent,
While she stands straight,before the bow was bent.
Two heartbeats apart in field of gray,
Watching the bloom of lost yesterday.

our hopes and dreams swell
as this new year tells a tale
deeply in artistic abstraction
burning through our minds
come take my hand and hold it
so in this motion we become
ever more than one from two
settled into societal silence
#vss365
We sit around a table—
well, 2 to be exact,
pushed together
& joined by a green
paper tablecloth
as thin as
the film & filter
of our conversations,
& we #delight in this game;
if not, we tear
it’s very center,
so I take a corner
& start nibbling.

They ##delight in her in ways unpleasing. Pointing out faults so gleefully, arms waving. Her delightful ways even when it takes a bow so confidently, they take a swift kick to her knees, eyes creased in #delight. #vss365#prompt
Her #doppelganger eased into an hourglass
Like a comet that didn't burn on its way out
Showering many versions of her
Echoes of her,knocking
At door of my heart
Regaling me
As i blush love at
The sheer levity of life

A kid holding a pup like my late one
"Haskins, who's this, and why does she have a whip?"
"This is my friend Sally sir, but you can call her Vicious Vicky."
"And why's she here?"
"To punish you."
"To what?"
"It's what you said you wanted, sir."

Let love collide
with heart tonight
Like #domino
falls in flight
Without wings
without strings
Like inferno
burning things
Wrapped in wish
on silver dish
Like bravado
built a bridge
Would you cross
risking loss
Like crescendo
ever was
#vss365#Poetry
In life sometimes
I’m gonna fall
So may as well
Fall forward
Keep stumbling
In a darkened room
In time
I’ll stumble doorward
#Anxiety
Over failure
Will not stop me
On my quest
To keep trying
Makes me better
Even if
I n’er reach best
#vss365
When
a kiss
could bring down
chiseled storms
And firefly desires
raze the sun
A #mage, she waits
for love to make sense
While
watching their worlds
crash and burn
#vss365#wip
#shenanigan baited
she tows and tugs the line
and #waits for him to bite
and bite he does
as she gulps her glee.
She reels him up
set him a #blaze on fired tongues.
Her #angler skill learnt from mama
papa her bait.

I walk barefoot,
On full moon nights,
Treading the soft
Wet grass,
On bare tiptoes..
Tinkling anklets,
Around delicate,
Dewy ankles,
I blow kisses to,
The blushing moon,
#keen on granting,
My heart’s desires..
#vss365
There is life in you still, said the bobcat to the little ghost Belle. My senses are so keen, I can smell the river in you. I can hear the hum of dragonflies.
Your voice on my back like grass in the breeze, said the rock with teeth.
#vss365#keen
When the world is weighing you down
And trouble waits around every corner
Just breathe
When you're not sure which way to turn
And confusion muddles your mind
Just breathe
When your not sure what your tomorrow's hold
And life is full of uncertainty
Just breathe

She has a sheen tattooed
on her skin &
writes to #breathe the wind
but dance makes her cry
verses take her to the skies
where every bit of poetry
is velvet
she writes messages
on the wings of birds
Abt moon & stars
In the sounds of the soul
from the depths of the sea
