at hour when night is still brewing cities & faces pass through her like radio signals pain & hope sharing the same frequency with tenderness she reduces noise living with #ache the way one lives with weather in the pale light the room is as it is misfortune stays outside #vss365 #blueskypoets

This is fantastic, Abhra. Love the 2nd stanza.e

#vss365 #ache #poetrylovers In the rose's tender ache or jasmine's whispered breath, femininity and desire weave beckoning us to a passion refined—vulnerable in its bloom, triumphant in its essence, resounding the timeless spirit over fleeting flesh.

A squall of laughter erupted from the enchanted orchard, where the apple trees had begun telling jokes to the crows. I couldn’t understand the humor but the crows sure found it hilarious. #vssmagic

#vss365 #poetry I picked up my #ache Threw it in a trash can Only for it to boomerang back! Now I wear it hidden in plain sight Like a second skin Waiting for true love To come along And knock me for six!

Rory eased himself in the gaming chair, relieving the #ache in his bones as he glanced at the clock, which was clearly an inveterate liar. That much time couldn’t have passed, and he hadn’t eaten. Katie was going to do that smiling-but-disappointed look that always cut so very deep. #vss365

Brilliant!

mining some ink? spill it #prompts Mon Feb 09, 2026 Weekly #Prompt - OFFBEAT WITTY SEISMIC QUIRKY RAUCOUS SWOON post with hashtag: #inkMine

I stand here, the #sole survivor, proof that silence can outlive us all And yet, I have one more story to tell #vss365

#vss365 #inkMine #FoxProse Chasms of the unmet innocence bleeds a little faster Ersatz free spirit breathes into the bones of murk Thunder whispers in the night, shadows doomsday craze Our fertile land, our gestating mothers, hope - our bipolar fallacies

This is powerful piece, Abhra.

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 9 is #bones "...a fortnight dead, Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell And the profit and loss. A current under sea Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell He passed the stages of his age and youth Entering the whirlpool." T. S. Eliot #9

from the same cloth, the scar formed— a burst of primary colours, as though images threading the jungle of her mind #poetry

Recorded a short poem I wrote yesterday. #spokenwordpoetry #vss365 #blueskypoetry #inkMine

#vss365 #inkMine #WriteMap #blueskypoetry

Democracy does not collapse all at once. It erodes when institutions are isolated, pressured and punished one by one while the vast majority of citizens look away. The Kennedy Center is the first step. This act is not accidental. The evil retaliation will continue until it is dismantled & stopped. 😡

That's fantastic, Abhra.

#15WordPoet ✍️ Prompt : #palatial, #auric ✨

#Lambent there are words truths that might heal when your heart is ready perhaps they begin: you were never... and end with the fear you always thought was you #vss365

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 5 is #lambent "Where brooding day stares down upon the sea In dull disdain. Uplift and sway, O golden vine, Thy clustered fruits to love's full flood, Lambent and vast and ruthless as is thine Incertitude." 'Flood', James Joyce #5 lambent:definition - glowing softly

I’m living‬ In a cosmos ‬ ‪Where other humans live‬ ‪ And some of them‬ ‪Take from me‬ ‪What I won’t freely give‬ ‪ Basking‬ in Life’s #lambent light‬ ‪I figure out what’s real ‪ Tired of playing victim‬ So ‪I broker A new deal‬ ‪ My life’s been ‪Self-driving car— ‪But now I take the wheel‬ #vss365

#vss365 #FoxProse #inkMine Ghost of legacy-coveted letters come knocking— ‘I want this rebirth’, relics reprise lambent longing— I glance over the edge, plunge into time-worn touches and gingerbread memories. Ghosts tiptoe, eavesdrop hanging stars by my window in a tapestry.

#vss365 #pain

That's beautiful.

I was away for a month. While a few podcast episodes wait to be edited and shared, here is a collection of short poems that explore the intricate landscape of memory, presence, and emotional truth. #emotionalhealing #poetry

The #vss365 #prompt for Feb 1 is #shadow "my selves go with you,only i remain; a shadow phantom effigy or seeming (an almost someone always who’s noone) a noone who,till their and your returning, spends the forever of his loneliness dreaming their eyes have opened to your morning" e.e. cummings #1

#Soul there's a you beyond personality beyond habit or emotion or trauma because you can ask all of that to soften and a vital spark, carried once by ancient stars remains #vss365

Every creature had a #soul in the game, which was useful, because you could capture it to power enchantments in weapons. Admittedly, it was morally & ethically wrong, if not wildly evil, but they weren’t real things. Still, Rory did feel more than a little dirty at the mere thought of it. #vss365

#wildwickedwords #amatoryq Across oceans Threads of love Calling of the heart Love washed off the shores across oceans, S A L T kissed by an angel or many, T H R E A D S of love flutter answering to penitence of the forlorn - U S, seafaring loners.

#vss365 #WriteMap 415 #inkMine Syncopated memory loop turns iconic songs into soul warping affirmations, I piece together youth-innocence-shadows a dash of percipient rain a chill of naked unknowing I trace steps to odd oblivions - adolescence.

#vss365 #prompt #sear #WriteMap 402 #inkMine Lemon memories, purple bruises seared in the shadows mine to bear. Wandering through the nightmare-fog with the leeway of visceral roots. Shackles, weights and pangs aloft I hear songs unlearning, rewriting joy.

Are you here ~ with me? or a torn presence of intersecting stories— half-kites, half-magic harnessing euphoric delivery of the elusive freedom of our time, that no longer arcs into latent camaraderie. #vss365 #inkMine

A photo of the milky way that I took a while back and a very personal note that went with it. substack.com/@abhrapal/no... #substack #grief #poetry #blueskypoetry

Painted in #balderdash specks The pattern of my breath Beneath curving lips Of a crimson sunset My senses deep dived Sight became divine All obscenities The only language I could speak Stung hard The 1st time my brain learnt My heart was lovestoned #vss365 #SatSplat
