He was #Mars incarnate—raging across battlefields by Roman mandate. Where he led, victory followed. Eyes like emeralds, body and sword glowing with golden flame, he devastated masses. Once gold #threaded into his eyes, there was no mercy. All he left were husks drained of souls. #vss365 #WiPSnips

#vss365 Holy Writ Grumpy preachers in leathered jackets spit ps alms on the paving slabs, I drink their words raw, like blood from a bitten lip, and feel the city’s heartbeat hammering my blistered bones. #grumpy #poetry #poem #poet #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity

Like a savant, I deciphered every glance, turning crumbs of kindness into feasts. You'd smile, and I'd script entire futures. But your heart never stumbled toward mine. I'm fluent in a language you never learned, reciting love to an empty room. #vss365 #poetry #savant
