#vss365 #poetry #prose Love came along the sun rose over Jupiter Saturn & Mars But it came back from the dark side of the moon My smile then swallowed by a blackhole—whole Clouds tried to harpoon me into clear skies but even the shear #velocity of my minds heart speed, can’t bust me out

#vss365 #velocity Fighting against gravity, Sucking me down, Sucking me down, At terminal velocity, Tossing me, Tossing me around. Will I break free? Only God knows. Breath. Stretch. Run. I hold my breath, Praying, And jump to the flow. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #orbital Her life centered first around him, and then later on when they came, the children. A orbital traced in needs, desires and demands. It was only later on, when she was older and wiser, that she had the wisdom to ask herself, “Why?” —GoRhyme

#vss365 #stellar Gold star! Chef’s kiss! He stood poised. The absolute pinnacle of perfection. He knew what the news would say. As always, they would laud his performance as simply stellar. That was the truth, but what they did not know is that acting came with a price.

#vss355 Beastly & wild Eyes full of desire Blatant #knowingly Tread the fire Yes largely crazed But who be the spell caster Daring & carefree Neither will tell, though two do tango A vision in fairytale dreams somewhere From the dark side of the moon

#vss365 #knowingly A smirk? Yes. Insider trading? Yes. Malfeasance? Probably. But who could resist? The Time Machine was a temptation. A little nudge, and she was as powerful as a god. In fact, she chose random shifters just to preserve the element of surprise. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #crazed They danced in the wild rhythmic dance of their ancestors. First with loving invocation to the Gods, then with supplication of fervent desires. Crazed, the finale concluded in a ceremonial flushing of ice cubes. It was done. All that was left was hope. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #blatant She did all things with vim and vigor. Not only was she a blatant shoplifter, stores fell over themselves thanking her for her patronage. Her downfall? It was simple. She fell for a philanderer, and the hunter became the hunted. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #beastly Beastly? They called him an animal? At least he was governed by rhythm, a werewolf only when the moon called. They were beasts when the sun shone for no other reason but desire. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #mystified I grabbed a pack of gum when I was at the check out line. Mystery flavor, the equivalent of jazz hands. I had to admit I was mystified. Raspberry, blueberry, strawberry? I quickly ran out of fruit ideas and moved on to vegetables. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #bouncy It never stops…. Here hand me that ball. You mean, the one marked Zeno? Yes, observe the bouncy eventually comes to an undefined end. Even in the infinite? Yes, it’s just a matter of subdivision on the quantum level. -GoRhyme

#poetry When broken waves Bounce #bouncy on seas To shores of forgotten promises Shadowing tides gasp To reach the sky for mercy Before hearts sink forever-lie Treasures under the sea Precious so out of grasp Broken promises broken sea shells Sandcastles tear away #vss365 📸 Astragal

Rory urged Esme’s mount up the treacherous path toward the monastery tucked in the highest peaks in this #mountainous region of the game, there to meet with a monk for whom Rory had a package. Not the most combat heavy quest to take on, but Rory did love a good mountain view to behold. #vss365

to hear your laughter after those mountainous years love hears our echoes deafening past valley fears igniting our hearts again ©️Aspen #BraveWrite #vss365 #haiku #tanka #PoetryCommunity #Poetry #mountainous #HappyLunarNewYear Love you, Aspen🕊️ 👇 youtu.be/AJtDXIazrMo?si…

Wherever I look There’s #mountainous views I’m just sat breathing in, its O2 Crisp fresh air Twirling my hair Thinking of you In my minds eye You’re everywhere Just not, anymore here #vss365 #poetry

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does. Rest in power, Jesse Jackson 🙏🏽

FCC & CBS force Stephen Colbert to not air an interview with James Talarico. Instead, Stephen Colbert’s sit-down with the Texas State Representative currently running for Senate was posted to the late-night program’s YouTube page—the URL for which Colbert was not allowed to share on-air.

#vss365 #mountainous At first flat, then mountainous, the terrain changed as we drove through the country. We watched through the windows not knowing what lay ahead, scenarios running through our minds. We knew we were almost there when snow started falling and the driver became visibly nervous.

#vss365 #enchanted His lips lingered. “Enchanted, I’m sure.” She gasped and drew back her hand, face a rictus of disgust and horror. “Delightful.” All around her the ladies-in-waiting fluttered their feathered fans. The audacity of a squire to address the queen thusly.

#vss365 #minuscule The error began as all mistakes begin: something overlooked, a bit of greed, a rush to the finish line. In this case, a minuscule missing ). A coding error, and an almost sentient AI escaped; cat out of the bag, the end of mankind in a puff, Singularity came easy. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #kiss Thus it became known as “The Kiss,” archetype of all smooches, gold standard of lip-lock. Historians would debate its sweetness, honey, nectarine. Poets would write odes. She just remembers thinking, “Finally, someone who knows what they’re doing.” Happy Valentine’s Day

Here's a poem I wrote for this week's #poemsabout #undressed. Thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk & @alanparrywriter.co.uk for the prompt and everyone for already amazing contributions! #poems #poetry #poetrycommunity

I had to watch you fall in love With someone else I, bewitched by the stars Under a midnight moon My tears formed a silver light Between moonbeams With all my power Of enchantment I could not muster enough To lead you astray From that beautiful Sun ray #satsplat #poetry

#vss365 #lacuna He thrived in the dark, in the lacuna of forgotten crevices. Others forgot he existed until they felt an odd shiver or caught a wafting mist from the corner of their eyes. They would swear and pull their coats tighter, but there was no escape until he wanted it.

#vss365 #poetry It’s a fusion Of colours Like rainbows And shadows Grey and black Specks of white That work Together Setting alight My imagination Though pages Of a book Are black and white My mind sees more That’s how the magic works #Dark or bright

#vss365 #dark He continued, “In the dark, no one can hear you scream. But I can, and I gather pain by the bucket.” A pulling. Coldness. A loss. His voice again: “And I am paid most handsomely.” -GoRhyme

I #touch the clouds with my feet Kiss the Earth with my teeth Tumbling Tumbling Somersault flying This is not a drunk post Though maybe I’m drunk on O2 This is just how I handle A normal Wednesday Humpday Dee Dee da da dum dum #vss365 #poetry

#vss365 #touch His touch was dry and papery, as if the dust of a thousand graves covered his fingers. Death’s static electricity, she supposed. Yet, she craved his presence, mesmerized or besotted, she did not know. -GoRhyme

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

Unrequited love That deep #ache Of not being seen By the person Who holds your heart Or even worse Seen and acknowledged But turned away As not worthy enough Or some version of It's not you, it's me #vss365

I’d rather sweat and #ache and bleed then let A.I. fulfill each need. #vss365

Forgiveness resides within, only the deserving truly understand. Forgiveness is a gift to self, liberates the soul and leaves no debt. Forgiveness eases the #ache, swallows pride, splits the lies. Forgiveness is joy, is happiness, is divine. ~rev #vss365

#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!

#vss365 #ache When she couldn’t stand the wait any longer, she picked up her brush and began to create. Greens, yellows, pinks bloomed across the sky and settled warmly on the earth. An ache? Yes. But one ancient and beautiful, as always, new life was worth the pain. -GoRhyme

Sweat coursed the novitiate’s face as he labored, carefully brushing dirt from ancient artifacts. “Professor, what is this?” She lifted the calcified specimen. “It’s a #bone. These exoskeletons are sturdier.” She rapped metal. “And they don’t degrade over time.” #vss365

#vss365 #bone It was the scratching in her bones that told her he was coming, a sharp pain even before the night watch sent notice. She set an extra plate at dinner hoping he would overlook them this year. Others could hide in fear, they didn’t have the luxury. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #poetry Sometimes the world’s Just a spinning cube The moon a yucky #pale yellow With the stars barely holding The sky up But still I wake up To march on Thinking about the sunshine While my soul slithers away Withering invisible with time

#vss365 #pale They emerged into the sun, eyes blinking in the unexpected light. A few of the more adventurous shed their clothes and stood naked, pale in the fresh air. Blushing parents averted their children’s eyes, but they too were relieved that the cold times were over.

#vss365 #poetry 🎨 5D Diamond Painting Come to me At the edge of night Where shadows Become voyeurs Witnessing our luscious throes Screams & howls Aroma of #blood piercing Arouses heady intoxication That first dark kiss Had me craving for your depravity More And More

#vss365 #blood It was just a drop of blood, tiny compared to what he normally spilled, but, the play of light off its surface was enough to snap her out of the fog he usually kept her in. A vampire’s meal? She thought not. Let him go mesmerize someone else. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #wound A wound? No. It is a diary of what I have endured. I should be gone, but I pushed, and for that I celebrate myself. Am I a monster? No. I am a survivor. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #lambent #emoetry #uncomfortable #poetry I honestly wasn't going to write today. I made some space, and I am pouring through poems on here and in my TBR pile. I was really kind of moved by it all, so this is a little love letter to all of you amazing #poets

#lambent flames danced along the silver hulls. Cosmic dust? Alien off-gassing? Either way, deadly. The first soldiers died instantly. From his sealed bunker, the president addressed an empty country before succumbing himself. The new species moved in soon after. -GoRhyme

#vss365 At times she was a shadow, eroded and worn, swirling by grains, only to be carried off quiet by the wind. Like a lost #ghost, she moved room to room, nervously touching objects and remembering that she once existed. -GoRhyme
