the need to be close to you in a myriad ways the urge to pour all my verse into the crux of you the compulsion to keep you near even the most peripheral of dreams the deep desire to be your deepest desire irresistible one and all #pennedreveries

Day 4 1st track on an album The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter youtu.be/RbmS3tQJ7Os?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

what is that thing i feel what do i name it what do i do with it do i nurture it do i let it nurture me do i ignore it (against every instinct) do i find an analogy (knowing the futility) do i let it wash over me do i drown most of all do you feel it too? #pennedreveries

Day 3 A song with an animal in the title The Cure - The Caterpillar youtu.be/nzxJ5YvYfx4?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

compare a pen and a sword if you must both can wound in their own way but your words so often inspire me it's your silence that kills me #vss365 #pen

Does anyone else have dreams that start of being vaguely intimate with someone and it's really nice but then the dream becomes frustrating because you spend the rest of it looking for circumstance and location for privacy to carry on being intimate. Or is it just me?

Nice little charity shop CD haul today. Still not happy about losing the money but a day off in the week is quite nice.

in that transience in that breath in that limbo in that void from one to the next between seasons i find you there an ethereal dream whispering persistent as any cycle beautiful as any miracle #pennedreveries

Day 2 A song from the 2020s (so far) Depeche Mode - Before We Drown youtu.be/2HHc8pNn7x8?si…#DavidsMonthOfMusicic

Y'know what. Fuck it. Bye.

𝓘 𝓸𝓷𝓵𝔂 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓮 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝔂𝓸𝓾

i miss our heretic poetry i miss our pagan prayer i miss the slow thunder of conjured sin thrumming just beneath my skin i miss the irreverent reveries i miss the blasphemy of you and me #UnchainedSymphonies

i still wish i was the man that graced your dreams that you covet my feelings for you have not faltered have not diminished i am here waiting still i don't know what i can do if anything to matter to you again #vss365 #man

Oh great, now I'm either imagining things or gaslighting myself. Joy.

i don't think i was a fool to believe your words i know they were sincere at the time but i do think i was a fool to believe i wouldn't become as insignificant to you as i am now #pennedreveries

Day 1 A comedy song Anthrax - N.F.B. (Dallabnikufesin) youtu.be/CEuHfNFX5SU?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

🎵 All the love gone bad, turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am All I'll be 🎵

Tell me something nice? confess.ngl.link/davidmiddleh...

Here's some #pennedreveries writing prompts for April if anyone wants to take part... #WritingPrompt #WritingCommunity

the cadence of the words still desire to march to a rhythm i can no longer maintain the futility of the verse undesired lost to discordance that can no longer survive #pennedreveries

Hey #DavidsMonthOfMusic peeps! This is the very first music challenge and its 4th appearance so I guess it's happy birthday DMOM 🎂 Thank you to anyone who has ever taken part. I appreciate you! Hope you have as much fun with this as ever! Be good to yourselves and each other!

how do i learn to no longer exalt those that my existence means nothing to how do i still the verse for those it no longer means anything to how do i just disappear like i have from your thoughts how to i stop feeling like this #vss365 #exalt

Day 31 A song by a band whose name is four words or more The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Come Saturday youtu.be/L4VMHczjUEE?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

Monochrome Monday 🖤🤍

Ah well...

*adds album to possible top ten of the year list*

the mansion grew cobwebs and fled leaving the well-manicured topiary of its brown-esque gardens perched now on desolate peaks window shutters thrash against a deluge autumnal hallways tell themselves ghost stories no something else has changed but what is it #pennedreveries

how one soul can conduct anothers dreams feel them flow through their very being then imbue their own reveries until the union finds the source anew we could be a perfect circuit perpetual motion divine machines meant to be #vss365 #conduct

Day 30 A song by a band with a colour in their name Black Label Society - I Never Dreamed youtu.be/h_NCXgrU-Bg?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

riparian stance as i watch you (feel you) drift away... that river that i dreamed would carry our dreams bears only you now to an ocean engulfed in the arms of another i still think of drowning in you even from these barren banks #UnchainedSymphonies

just wanting to be your inspiration to be your muse how the writers find narrative and the printers find flaws and the photographers find perspective and the composers find catharsis i need to be perceived by you i yearn to know how you would make me art #pennedreveries

what force compels the artist for not every stanza must be a masterpiece nor every chord a magnum opus or every brushstroke divine and somewhere between heart and hands a #sprite might intervene when i present you the indicative chaos with a smattering of mischief #vss365

Day 29 A song by a band with a number in their name Death From Above 1979 - Romantic Rights youtu.be/6Wnl9PpnTXI?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

illusive illusion how i strive to manifest your touch imagining how our forms would fit together so seamlessly some days it's harder to feel your phantom caress some days you're just there demanding to be conjured #vss365 #illusive

Day 28 A song by a band with more than 4 members Pearl Jam - Breath youtu.be/PQiVs_zA2hQ?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

an expedition not unto the entirety unknown i have dreamt the contours of these landscapes so many times but that first touch... i am somewhere new and i many never ask to leave #pennedreveries

wilde's salomé shelly's creature do i watch you because i want you or do i want you because you see me the midnight worlds that revolve around a shadow sun a beautiful ballet they burn all the same the absurdities we call— #vss365 #revolve

Day 27 A song by a solo artist that used to be in a band Annie Lennox - Love Song For A Vampire youtu.be/vhG8zC4npsE?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

i needn't delve all too deep to find the words nor reason to need them how could i be any more inspired i saw you today and you were beautiful i read your words today and felt a piece of your soul this verse wouldn't exist if you weren't you #UnchainedSymphonies

stare away your gaze from this strip of unreality this brittle dreamscape a zone at the epicenter of our tumult seek a silence to swallow that reminds you of me as solace i daren't breathe for fear the images will falter and fade lost to every contradiction #pennedreveries

#vss365 #fascinate

Day 26 A song by a band/artist whose name contains a Z Zoë - Sunshine On a Rainy Day youtu.be/aU_a-rZpSfQ?si…#DavidsMonthOfMusicic

at the very very least there you are at the periphery of another thought that makes me flutter somewhere between my skin and my soul i feel you seep in feel the notion take hold tethering me to you now you're at the epicenter and all i want to do is dream

Oh. Hi.

i find such poetry in you you move as you pen as you inspire as you imbue with utter grace i melt into each stanza and i bear the weight of indulgence and i bare my heart to dreams yet it is always yet... because some words and worlds are just too beautiful #pennedreveries

she is #tempest and she is clear skies she excites me and she fills me with calm she is elusive and she is constant she is wild seas and she is languid tides she is butterfly-winged dream and she is everything in an instant she is her and she is all i need her to be #vss365

Day 25 A song by a band/artist whose name contains a Y As I Lay Dying - Defender youtu.be/O-RGJjedCnI?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic
