Can we surrender our precious communities, indifferently unleashing not mild suffering but the kind that converts from self interest only to cruelty? #BraveWrite #2WordPrompt #inkMine #vssdaily #OurPoetryX #vss365

Light returns in increments, a stamp of inseparable harmony washes over stones, marigolds dance among weeds, a home for the soul #OurPoetryX #BSPP51 #vssdaily #2WordPrompt #vss365 #BraveWrite #WriteMap 448

A lifeboat of character lingers on the fringes, gesturing to face with resolve not the fear of the night but terror of those without morality #WriteMap 447 #BraveWrite #vssmagic #vssdaily #MoonMystic #inkMine #OurPoetryX

If you turn it ckockwise I shutter to dream of a splendor in wait of promises hidden in the ordinary, buffering sadness; butterflies kissing wildflowers, birds flying to wires singing of hope

Give the deck another shuffle the heartless language cracked sinisterly reviewing evil intent, I knowingly realize looking for an echo of humanity in a chamber of horrors was a heart out of time

And within those shadows is a fearless courageous caring, no evaluating, no limits but a quiet reaching across time like never before, not mystifying only sacred. #MoonMystic #WriteMap #inkMine #2WordPrompt #fairytalepoets #loveletters #vss365

It was a mistake like fool’s gold trying to unlock a ghost of love, never a nightmare whirlwind but like the gentle kiss of the wind, a kiss so elaborate it made my spirit rise to yours… When I loved you

He couldn't be found on the troubled path where misery flowed, no bones to bury no way to heal, I was left in the dark with only bits of you, fragments of a life stolen

The question repeated itself but the rhythm couldn’t justify chronic thunder whispers in the night and nothing broke the cruelty #FromOneLine 405 #2WordPrompt #MoonMystic #vssmagic #WriteMap 422

On the road to freedom blood runs on the road to freedom wails fill the air on the road to freedom bombs fall on the road to freedom bodies lay in mass graves When will freedom come? #WritingCommunity #poetry #freedom

We woke to snow there downstairs a spell undone clueless to rescue latent truth frantically words you whisper on a site where Freedom is a gift to be earned

At the Christmas tree farm icicles reveal reindeers jumping in the night sky as Santa’s bag holds wishes of Christmas magic everywhere #vssChristmas #fairytalepoets #vssmagic #vss365 #OurPoetryX

This would be the line in the cold night air, halos of frost glimmer as garlands brushes stockings awaiting Santa’s gift of surprise #vssChristmas #FromOneLine 399 #BraveWrite #loveletters

With an epiphany of love he hugs his new puppy, Holly, as silver bells cry a carol into the white of winter #vssChristmas #fairytalepoets #OurPoetryX #BraveWrite #loveletters

Enchanting crystal nights dance in the infinite sky as humble mortals slumber unaware of The Magic #vssChristmas #vss365 #loveletters #vssdaily

I always recall Gran’s words, “My gift to you” as she handed me her book of memories Oh but I couldn’t! Her voice was without regret “But it was written for you” #vssChristmas #loveletters #vss365

The magic of dreams is a place called home where candle light glows and a goodwill hug brings the warmth of a brandy and security more precious than gold #vssChristmas #MoonMystic #MoonMystic #BraveWrite #whispr

Gran rocked the child gently, it’s just a dream she whispered, But the yulecat was chasing the grinch trying to eat him the child insisted, Come, let’s have hot chocolate & gather round the fire #vssChristmas #fairytalepoets

In a new old fashioned way he & Papa watched in wonder as snow formed ice crystals in the air trying to shine like tinsel the fire flickered as wind blew down the chimney, Papa did you see that? Do you mean the elf?

Papa placed the neatly wrapped package in the sleigh for the annual mitten party Let’s go! the child excitedly shouted Gran had worked all year & now the 144 pairs were ready, everyone in the village would get their own unique pair #vssChristmas #OurPoetryX

Gran, please read The Night Visitors again! At vespertine, in the glow of the snow, the Christmas tree cloaked in holly stood amongst sugar coated pines… Gran closed the book as the child slept #vssChristmas #MoonMystic #vss365 #fairytalepoets #loveletters

Gran, why do we make gingerbread people? Well, when I was little my Gran made them in honor of those she loved & missed in the Old Country, so now we make them in honor of love ones everywhere #vssChristmas

Stepping into a winter wonderland he held Papa’s hand tight, too excited to move he gazed at scene, Where did they come from he whispered, Papa grinned, Maybe you should ask them #vssChristmas #fairytalepoets

I’ve never seen the moon cradle teardrops on the beach and then retie promises in the wind #WriteMap #2WordPrompt #FromOneLine #MoonMystic #BraveWrite

Monday morning one hour late rough beginnings, we’re falling between words like lonely dreamers, while shadows of grief rise leaving threads of remorseful mysteries to untangle

Another time I’d take a chance but to have seen so much death of humanity’s virtue I cannot lay bare my soul to the eventuality of the storm coming #vss365 #MoonMystic #whispr #fairytalepoets #inkMine #WriteMap 371 #FaithMap 35 #OurPoetryX

They were hot to touch those uninhabitable spaces where catastrophes loom and humanity is found not in a priest’s benediction but in the entrances and exits of love #vss365 #fairytalepoets #inkMine #FromOneLine 391 #2WordPrompt #firewords 280

Another week passed, tirelessly somehow knitting better days into assurance, always searching for a journey’s end full of mystical compassion sparkling underneath the darkness

This wasn't what she wanted, alone among deceitful lies empty promises wrapped in gut-wrenching screams, love ones living in the shadows #MoonMystic #vssdaily #FromOneLine 388 #inkMine #WriteMap 37 #BraveWrite #OurPoetryX #vssmagic

He said the light shone through it beautiful and not to be ignored but audacious hope melts away among the detailed game of unpredictability, an unholy crusade begun when even sometimes you are but a ghost

None of them had labels to warn us? now true discernment began in the quiet hours as I risked hope, stray thoughts of frightened words trickled in, as silent wishes of what about yesterday offered little solace

Rainbow’s mosaic on sunbeams threaded wings, a redeemed encounter when love was certain and fear a distant memory #whispr #vss365 #OurPoetryX #loveletters

Sleep wouldn't come, beware the candle’s mystical cosmic devotion to tender nights, it’s the price for shadows of your powerful memories, no longer confident but obedient to loss

It was just a box of pain uncovered: war haunts with wildfire ghosts laughing at the starvation listening to ubiquitous cries for rescue but always it ends in secondhand news nothing learned no will to change

It’s not mischief was the point, enthralled in squeezing life’s good purpose out, now we bake in the sun of despair where on the horizon freedom is sometimes an echo #vssdaily #2WordPrompt #MoonMystic #BraveWrite #vss365 #OurPoetryX #vssmagic

Intoxicated shadowed hazy days of danger, your iridescent sapphire eyes never wavered, for in the chaos of a world gone mad it was just us till the end #vss365 #inkMine #BraveWrite #2WordPrompt #vssmagic #OurPoetryX #MoonMystic #vssdaily

It took two tubes of glue, some swearing, faces crimson with determination but together with the faith of sparrows we completed our mission #vss365 #FromOneLine 383 #2WordPrompt

It’s not a conundrum even from a mountain view, it’s more than balancing the scales of injustice, it’s tears for the dying & bread for the hungry Museums are full of humanity’s folly #vss365 #BraveWrite #2WordPrompt #inkMine #OurPoetryX #vssdaily

Three copper pennies without purpose appear as tiny embers kindled in a lost constellation of paradise in despair looking for the promised moonbeams of hope #FromOneLine 382 #vss365 #WriteMap 353 #MoonMystic #inkMine #vssmagic #loveletters #vssdaily

I wait for moments of mellow onyx auras, maybe today or tomorrow only to be robbed of paradise by loud whispers of nothing #vss365 #MoonMystic #vssmagic #2WordPrompt #loveletters #vssdaily #BraveWrite

Before the crack of night terrors our analog lives were sleeping ‘neath rainbows, not stolen by a trail of wormholes based on fear where innocence is erased by monsters #vss365 #MoonMystic #vssdaily #WriteMap 350 & 351 #vssmagic

The whisper of taffeta to soothe the voiceless cry when mercy melted to rain and the alchemy of souls drowned in the soil of anxiety #MoonMystic #vss365 #BraveWrite #2WordPrompt #FaithMap 24 #loveletters #vssdaily

It was hard to interpret and catch the prism of truth when interwoven with lies that spiral and twist in the wind of deceit or so they said #FromOneLine 380 #vssmagic #BraveWrite #vss365 #WriteMap 348

I've forgotten too many things in the valley of conflict pausing as hope awakens only to observe the heel of injustice upon the last escape to freedom #vss365 #2WordPrompt #BraveWrite #vssdaily #FromOneLine 379 #inkMine #OurPoetryX

Crushing waves of loneliness finding treasures of moments in ruin pretending jewels of yesteryear can render us whole again but it’s the cost of going home #OurPoetryX #BraveWrite #MoonMystic #vssdaily #loveletters #2WordPrompt #vss365

It’s the color of time catching shadows where depths of darkness fume and progenitors’ mountainous strengths of shame, glow beneath emblems of destruction #MoonMystic #OurPoetryX #WriteMap 344 #2WordPrompt #vss365 #inkMine #vssmagic #loveletters

The wounds are rich the need to breath, trying to touch the stars but all the edges of me swept into a vortex of pain are unable to create a realm of calm, I weep #2WordPrompt #BraveWrite #WriteMap 343 #MoonMystic #loveletters #vss365 #inkMine #vssdaily

The string snapped slowly, I hear the power of the cascading bundle of letters written but never sent, it’s self revealing when daylight fades to midnight rapture and my soul dances briefly to knowing what could have been but is not

Together with shadows of the past stay especially close to me with healing spirits, shape us as strong oaks deeply rooted in principles of love & fragrant with resolve as daffodils #MoonMystic #2WordPrompt #vssdaily #inkMine #vss365 #OurPoetryX #loveletters

No vines of softness enfolding only roadblocks to equity after the stream of iron cruelty scraping against the heart of justice, we reject the wine of iniquity #vss365 #OurPoetryX #BraveWrite #vssmagic #loveletters #2WordPrompt
