Religions find
Order in chaos
Through language that binds
Unruly cosmos.

So too, in your unspoken signs
In brushing lips & closing eyes
Blushing, heavy breaths, & sighs
Unruly thoughts do compromise
Into holy hands designs;

Your damning cries, my sweet demise.

@PR_Rybeck Love this prompt! I haven't done a poem in years but this word is so delicious!

[GoblinQueen @ThatGoblinQueen]

Push the darkness aside
Slinking through the window
Sweet summertime #dalliance
Soft on the settee in white,
The way I loved you.
An eternity before I see him-
First with my heart then my eyes.

The sticky cloud of humidity isn't thick enough to catch me on the way down.

@RJ_roro Always loved this movie- still have my VHS copy of it from when I was a kid!

Hi friends! I'm back to celebrate my one year anniversary with #vss365 this month! I kow I've been MIA lately, but I did get married and move into a new home during that time, not to mention the work I've been doing on my WIP 🤷

[GoblinQueen @ThatGoblinQueen]

@AspenBrave Thank you! Glad to be back among such great friends :)

[GoblinQueen @ThatGoblinQueen]

@melsnarrative Yeah, it's been weighing a lot on my mind lately. Thank you for that great quote!

[GoblinQueen @ThatGoblinQueen]

To all my #amwriting friends: how do you avoid cliche or overused tropes in your work? Do you ever feel like everything you imagine has already been thought? How do you avoid feeling like your work is just a drop in a sea of better works? #writingcommmunity #WIP #writing

[GoblinQueen @ThatGoblinQueen]

@_AVFranklin Thank you! Its been pretty amazing 😍 How's the WIP coming?

There will come a time when it will no longer be sufficient to exclaim "#protect our natural resources!"

When the Earth finally sinks beneath the pressures of man,
The tune will change;

"Enjoy life, taste water, relish clean air, love the Earth.. While you still can."#vss365a

Then one day,
Radio silence.
All trace of you dissipated.

I know where you are.
A place
Where the fog goes
Fleeing the face of the sun.

Lounging on a bed of lost love letters
And family photo albums.

Come home, I beg you.
Come home to me
And leave this letter
As a paper trail.

[GoblinQueen @ThatGoblinQueen]

I never knew
That it could be so difficult
To climb out of a creative slump.

But let me just say
That the momentous climb
Up out of the valley
Gave me plenty of time
To think.

I missed you, Twitter friends ❤

Trembling before me, my greatest enemy, prostrate at the foot of my bejeweled dais. Standing, I smirk as whispering sears the silence. I am certain I can hear his heart thumping like the drums of war as I approach. His lips are cold on my hand, #stacked high with jewels. #vss365

[GoblinQueen @ThatGoblinQueen]

Should I want this?
A simple touch
Watched closely by
Melancholy eyes.

Should I welcome
The disclosure
Of #unlikely secrets
Beteeen our blue lips?

Should the birds call
In their wavering voices
During the frosty dawn,
To ensure that each neighbor
Has risen with the sun?

I drove all through that first night away from you, compiling an exhaustive list of all the questions that I we never discussed, and why we were never able to #delve that deep into the relationship. Perhaps you knew that it would go too far. Still, I wondered. #vss365

[GoblinQueen @ThatGoblinQueen]

As we waded into the pool, masked in darkness, love between us gushed forth like a forbidden #torrent, drowning all thoughts of doubt and guilt. Clinging together, we held nothing back as years of sinful lusts were revealed, surfaced by the cleansing waters caressing us.

When I was young, my paremts adopted a native #boy who'd been found out on his own. He was all dark, ruddy skin & strange noises; I was frightened at first. Soon enough we warmed to one another, & he began to take me into the forest to call birds and swim in hidden pools.

One warm night we lounged in a secluded, lush glen cooled by the flowing waters, and watched the shadows play over our bare bodies. The rushing water upstream was just loud enough to mask barely-there whispers of desire which we'd never before been brave enough to say out loud.
