I will pull the stars from the #dark and weave them into a crown. You won't be able to see it until twilight, but oh— I will know #vss365

Fingertips curl tight. Eyes narrow to a point. Restraint thins quickly. Outward calm misleads you. Control is not my concern. Impact speaks plainly. Teeth bare without warning. Yield, I do not. #emoetry #ferocity #prompt #poetry #acrostic #writing #poem

If I told you the ferocity of wanting you, how it prowls my ribs and names you home, your lips would still make that small, surprised O as if desire were a gentle thing. #emoetry #writingprompt #ferocity

"In your waking life, your heart is failing, but here through a window small as a wine grape, you watch as a red fox, the kind of fox that’s either giggling or cloaked as your grandmother, stands up on its hind legs and walks on water."

My Wednesday take on #ecstacy @dragonslayerma.bsky.social #promptcombo.

Hi Fidel, @dragonslayerma.bsky.social For #promptcombo a few words.Not exactly about #ecstacy but being grizzled that's an emotion I've forgotten. 😄

The sun touches the snow and makes it sparkle as if every snowflake is laughing and made precious. There is no hatred, no malicious intent. It is a simple moment that happens quietly while the world bellows. I notice and it allows me to breathe.. #vssdaily hatred #vss365 touch

Thanks Fidel for this weeks #PromptCombo #ecstasy Have a great week, 😊 @dragonslayerma.bsky.social

I'm going to Liguria with friends for a long weekend. A little research tells me we're staying in the gulf of spezia nicknamed Bay of Poets....the name stems from the inspiration that the area has had on poets Lawrence, Shelley, Bryon. Well I did not know that!

I remember making mix tapes for seaside road trips with friends.

I couldn't shake the crow caw Of blood streaming from the dead So timeless that human suffering Was dismissed with the indifference Of winter’s bite A second caw saying, “You made me death” Wiping clean the ink of a million pens A third, just a sound in the woods Sharp and alarming But nothing more

Most days she kept her power hidden, magma beneath the surface, but she was weary and hungry. When she saw him, it was time to feed. She walked towards him, hips swaying like a #demon bell, a hiss of steam left by her damp feet, a whisper of devil's grass along his skin. #SatSplat
