[Michael @motioneffects]

always on the edge of a cliff
always wanting to jump off
always wanting to get away from the edge
always waiting for the feeling to go away
but delivery is inevitable
i step over the edge
i flap
and land back at the top
always waiting
always wanting

#delivery #vss365

[Michael @motioneffects]

we eat a continuous line of cake
it pours into our gullets
& out into the mouth of the next eager participant
digested & redigested through every person
we don't know where it starts or ends
we adorn ourselves with awards & honours
nobody eats cake as well as us
#adorn #vss365

[Michael @motioneffects]

the past turns into jelly that moves around inside me
sloshing and gurgling when I least expect it
when I least want it too
I have to eat #ash to thicken it up & stop it from coming out of my pores
I'm so old now all I have time to do is burn everything & eat the remains #vss365

[iAmWriting @AudreySemprun]

Floating on gossamer wings
The butterfly takes flight
Over the streams and through the fields A colorful delight

The moth takes off in quiet refrain In muted browns and grey And into the fire her melancholy burns in the land of no return

@BPetroude67108 Beautiful

[Vasiliki Petroudi @BPetroude67108]

#Lobster reds
gold,citrine straws
glowing like fire
ultramarine skies
beset with stars
a #pinnacle of
ecstatic creation
hand in hand with
the excruciating pain
of madness
#vss365

[Michael @motioneffects]

the first slice removed my desires
the second my sense of pride
but i kept walking into the blades
pain was just a temporary
part of the struggle to reach the pinnacle of my separation
from everything that matters

@DaveAGardener Lovely

[Dave A. Gardener @DaveAGardener]

Life is like a bunch of #mosquitoes
With intermittent stings and discomfort
But in the end
They were only temporary
Light momentary afflictions
In the light of eternity
With You
So drink freely this living water
Drink and look up
For tomorrow awaits
Love’s eternal gates

arranged by chaos
fated to you
fated away from you
fated to orbit you
and be swatted
like a mosquito
my heart bursting
ending life as a stain
that will never come out

#Mosquito #vss365

[Michael @motioneffects]

your hair reminds me of prison
settling down at night
flying in every direction during the day
catching the light
defining the mood
i keep pictures of the years we will never have
filling drawers and cupboards and books with happiness
my tsundoku of us

@MadQueenStorm And my condolences for yours

[EshaP Jaiswal - On Pause @EshaJaiswal19]

I’m revelations of a prayer

Caught
Between

Time and tranquility

Breaking free
From
Webs of infinity

The sky inexorably burns

I become
The shadow of dusk

A graceful #lingo of dying Sun

[Michael @motioneffects]

everything is so flat
i spread myself thin
to survive

so thin i can
hear
see
smell
everything
through the walls

old horror stories
over and over

forced to watch
i #muster the strength to smile

but everything's so flat
it just looks like pain

@RainyDayRibbons @atreya2112 That was an unexpected notification. Thank you.

[Michael @motioneffects]

@Jason_H_Abbott It's amazing

[Niente 1 @JeanRoeMartin]

Sadness swirling
All around
A ready victim for
A #sycophant's lines
Flattery fills the
Empty spaces
Feeling almost
Like warm embraces
Vulnerability is a target
For arrows from a
Fawner's bow
Wear your armour
Every day with
Your emotions
The insincere
Will play
#vss365

[Michael @motioneffects]

i admire you
but
the gravel hurts
as it pours into my chest
puts me off balance
makes my face sway and poke into private places
the #sycophant flashes codes in my direction
but it's useless
i'll never learn
i'll never stop
all i know is how to crave
for the past

#vss365

[Last Poet @GeneVatow]

Byzantine tentacles
bright discordant torrents
ubiquitous disdain
falling from ramparts
shaded with shame
No excuse
for power's failure
in a world
bereft of peace
Trembling
now in darkness
awaiting the next
disease
