Born in flame, raised by steel The blacksmith’s will rings through fire Each strike, a prophecy Each blade, a promise From ashes, a sword emerges, sworn to lead. Bathed in blood, thirsting for more. #poetry #ash #vss365 #forge #sword #blacksmith #metal

"He was everywhere: in the photos, the paintings, the clothes folded neatly in the closet, and the coffee mug with his initials that she still refused to use." Read - 'Another Saturday Afternoon' medium.com/promptly-wri... #fiction #death #grief #flashfiction

The tears fall faster when there’s pain lurking behind The fist clenches harder when vengeance won’t let go The soul churns through memories, turning love to #pulp wet and weightless in the gut. #vss365 #poetry #love #revenge #heartbreak #vss

The Mastermind Above it all; scheming, plotting. Proactive, never reacting Quick to strike, yet, patient at the right time Bold, daring Cold, calculating No rescue, no #oasis No pawn too precious, Ruthless in his cunning. #poetry #vss365 #vss #evil #plan #genius

I don’t know what to call it But everything else just fades out, soft and slow, into a #blur For, in a crowd of people, I only see you Whether anigh, or in the distance; I only have, eyes for you. #poetry #vss365 #love #photograghy #vss

Sometimes, love is less about what we say and more about what lingers between the words. Here’s a piece I just wrote: "The Weight of Silence in Relationships.” #nonfiction #love #relationships #Communication medium.com/bloody-sweet...

"I start there, hoping the tears and alcohol don’t ruin my chances tonight. But I don’t care! Even though I can tell that you are all dressed up to go out on a date with him, I don’t care." Choose Me - A Love Story! #fiction #love #flashfiction medium.com/microcosm/ch...

I could be singing #sonorous songs or saying these words to you in person. But until I earn the grace of your presence, I’ll blow kisses into the wind soft, steady, and sure till they land on your lips. #poetry #vss365 #love #kiss #wind

Take me back to nights of #caprice, where our love was magic and hope had no expiry. Take me away from this ache into the warmth of your arms where our future once dreamed itself alive. #poetry #vss365 #love #regret

I asked the dog what does unconditional love look like, while I was petting him. He jumped up and gave two soft barks and a cry like when he wants something and his tail went craxy. Then I said, yes I know.

This is not, a mistake or a random #eventuality This, is a miracle For, you choose to love me and no one, else. #Prompt - @genevatow.bsky.social #poetry #vss365 #love #romance #forever #miracle

The water is calm Smoother, than the beatings on my heart #Perhaps, peace lies in the deep In the trench, fading away from everything #poetry #vss365 #water #deep #loneliness #MentalHealth #depression

The bolts are crackling #Catastrophe trailing every strike The particles are flying Eeriness blowing loudly with each gust The clouds are roaring Barking shudders of worry and despair The skies are weeping endless torrents of tempests and destruction #poetry #vss365 #storm

I had a list, of things to buy To #stock up, for the time away from you But, as I check the items off this list I see that the most important thing, was never there to begin with- You! #poetry #vss365 #COVIDー19 #lockdown #coronavirus #love

My body shouldn't be #flinching whenever you raise your voice My heart shouldn’t race every time you try to #rein your emotions My eyes shouldn't be searching for the door just to feel safe in your presence The love I dreamt of shouldn't be the monster in my nightmares #poetry #vss365 #love #fear

Kiss me, until you want to take a breath Kiss me, until those lips are ready to play with something else Kiss me, until we reach the end #Exhausted, gasping for air Kiss me, for your kisses take me to a place beyond my mind's depths. #poetry #vss365 #love #romance #kiss

We do not have the answer to gravity Yet we wish to levitate We do not have the #power of flight Yet we hope to one day soar the skies We do not have the means to leap But the galaxies will one day be our home. #fly #poetry #gravity #vss365 #galaxy #stars

He had 402 letters from her. The final one slipped away. But the real loss had already been written in her tears #flashfiction #fiction #heartbreak #regret #letters #love medium.com/flashes-of-f...

There are doorways in the mist Like, the corridors of the train Each one; a portal, to a painful memory Some of them you revisit from time to time But, there is one door in the thick of the fog One door you shall never; ever, enter #doorway #poetry #vss365 #memories #fear

Some people shut their eyes and fade away at the first #chance Drifting off into the sunset Finding peace till sunrise But some of us lie awake at night Afraid to close our eyes For what lies in the dark scares us more than whatever is in the real world #poetry #vss365 #sleep #dark #night

Will you give me a #chance to win your heart? Or do you fear the forked tongue of this enchanting fabulist? #vss365 #love #poetry #poet #writer #WritingCommmunity #liar

This wasn’t what she wanted. Forgotten memories and missed anniversaries, Empty gestures and tame efforts. A #conscious labour of love to make her happy, A frequent desire to bring her pleasure This… this was what she wanted. #poetry #vss365 #FromOneLine 388 #love

Yesterday is gone Tomorrow isn’t certain Today is a present, don’t let it #past Seize the day! No matter the challenges the present presents Seize the day! Whether tomorrow comes, or not; give it your all! #poetry #vss365 #past #latin #carpediem #future

Curtains drawn. Lights off. Empty bottles stacked like ghosts under the bed. Some nights, grief is louder than silence. medium.com/microcosm/th... #Fiction #flashfiction #love #loss #grief #shortstory

Steadily rapidly the heart pounds Yearning for its other half all the way across town Calling out to close the gap before the missing part beats to the sound of another heart. #vss365 #poetry #yearn #love #heart

Let me, be the reason you dance alone in a crowded room Pacing the night, wistfully Yearning; for the sweetness, of my embrace. #poetry #yearn #vss365 #love #night #dance

I never said the world was perfect or full of cheer Filled with #jovial people overflowing with kindness I just want to live even if it's from a shell Hiding behind a mask to conceal the sadness For the embrace of their lies is sweeter than the cold of death #poetry #vss365 #loneliness #death

True love? A lie we keep telling ourselves. Love is built on conditions—expectations we don’t admit but always demand. Here’s why the fairy tale doesn’t hold up. #nonfiction #truelove #love #article medium.com/bloody-sweet...

Fear- you reek of it I can smell it in the air I can hear your shaky breath in the corner I can hear your frantic prayers as the tears pour down your face But no one is coming for you Nothing shall save you For I have come for my pound of flesh #poetry #vss365 #evil #fear

Your radiance is bestowed onto the land making the #mundane look spectacular For, no amount of shade can hide the beauty in the stars. #poetry #vss365 #sun #star #shade #skies #summer

I’ll keep a light on for your love. I’d hold a #vigil for your return. I’d light the candles to guide you back to my heart. I’d wait as long as I can, till I hold you in my arms again. #poetry #vss365 #love #candle #night

None of them had labels The box of unopened presents, the pile of my clothes, the jar of treasured ingredients, the birthday and anniversary cards. Only the #seethe of rejection in the air, littered outside the door of your heart. #FromOneLine 386 #poetry #vss365 #love

The skies are clear but the road ahead is blocked The sun is going down but our worries always seem to multiply The sunset is beautiful but the times are #abject The land is full but the people have nothing left #poetry #vss365 #sun #photography #nigeria

If I were shy I’d step out of my shell just to talk to you If I were evil I’d #pummel the devil just to catch a glimpse of you If I had a genie I’d spend all my wishes just to have you in this life and every one after it For you are simply irresistible #poetry #vss365 #love

The Dark Knight Is coming His #wings gliding in the night The crooks run and hide For in the shadows he lurks Lock the doors set the traps Call your friends ask for help! For when he comes And come he must There will be no respite for those who do wrong #poetry #vss365 #batman

Your eyes are a window to the depths of your prowess Your movements; a dance to entice the #mystical energies Your ceremony; the stage to the magic unfolding and your chants; a presage to the evil about to come forth. #poetry #vss365 #witch #magic #Spirit #Wizardry #ritual

Sleep wouldn’t come Socks on, lights out White noise, locked doors Sleep wouldn’t come Grumpy soul, tired bones Wandering mind, weary heart Sleep wouldn’t come Tireless effort, thinning patience Fading night, rising sun Sleep never came #poetry #FromOneLine 385 #vss365 #sleep #insomnia

A spoonful of dreams; a lifeline for the present A sky filled with stars; heavy clouds trailing darkness A beaming #rainbow; a despondent existence A deluded confidence an optimistic belief A forgettable desperate past and a promising new beginning #poetry #vss365 #hope

Roses, are red Violets, are blue Lavenders, are beautiful And so, are tulips too. Flowers, are of many colours; and flavours too But your love is special beyond; the spectrum, of the #rainbow. #poetry #vss365 #love #flowers #nature #rose #color

The sun is shining Casting a glow on this summer day We could be making love Or dancing till we're too tired to do anymore Playing games Or just laughing loud We could do anything But I'd rather just hold you close Enjoying this glow till the sun is no more #poetry #laugh #vss365 #love

They're laughing at us They think we're weird We pay them no mind Because all they do is stare When we are together every other thing disappears because all that matters is that I'm with you in the end #vss365 #poetry #love #laugh #photography
