i dreamed last night .. a tall-as-ceiling robed cultist with shadowed face appeared next to my bed .. who are you what are you doing here? .. no answer .. revealed white priest robes beneath .. mumbled blamefully at me .. "i have received an astudinal stute" .. congrats i also know words #dreams

twisted paths wending wildly enchanted wytchwood should you ever tread lightly escape it, you could hover high on bright energy see where you stood strigine secrets on silent wings rise up, darkest huntress! blood-feast on the souls of the ‘good’ #retroartprompt #enchanted #abstractart

endless aeons we danced intimate our embrace your yang fiery we turned my yin soothing your face us forever I thought til your warmth turned to rage rising blue to the skyweave I became all space now i'm every and allwhere you twinkle, replaced #retroartprompt #twinkle #abstractart

home is where the hearth is

I don’t understand this world

i dreamed last night .. comforted meowface .. she snuggle-purred on my lap .. had to escape the bad people .. beckoned her through the door .. she chased something in a corner .. a wave of spiders crossing the carpet .. no it was woodlice .. some over-sized .. bad people said this is normal #dreams

[1/2] young i sprang scramble-scrumble din’t know nowt at all heat of summer i blazed! my fires wild burning tall oh sweet autumn - so peaceful - gold colours that fall ... #retroartprompt #wintry #abstractart #heart

cw: #horror speak up .. i can't quite hear you .. it probably would be easier if i removed the duct tape .. and, yes, the zipties .. here, let me cut them off .. oops, clumsy me, what a mess .. how would you spend your last breath .. telling me i have such a bad #attitude? #horrorvss #horrorprompt

i dreamed last night .. there were two antique boxes .. i opened one .. it was now a chest .. inside were many more boxes .. i gave two away .. they were excited .. one held a strange game .. the other esoterica .. the remaining ones unknown mysteries #dreams

i visited the institute for lower learning .. a four-year course in fear, violence and chilly feet .. having a home faded into distant memory .. this new reality taught me what i really need .. a little safety .. a book .. some water from the brook #vss #vss365 #learning

i just reached her in time felt the flutter of movement slow-sluggish but real in her thickening veins she sought poison escape nearly did but i caught her i snuff out her life binding her with the name #poetry #horror #bspp47 #blueskypoetry #soft #pulse

we traveled at night to consult the ombracle .. no sun's residue for three days was allowed .. in the cave we were tested .. found wanting .. but still may pass .. seeking reflection .. direction .. protection .. from onrushing evils .. that roilstorm like clouds #vss #vsshorror #wss366 #consult

murmuring darlings fly wild in my head veering close to each other swoop-swirling instead as the infinite space fills with infinite words i must write for the sake of the birds #whistpr #murmuration

wanderer struggles through blasted lands .. difficult terrain, ruined towns and forests, dangerous shadows .. so dark, so void of life .. reaches a hollowed-out tree .. camp for the night .. in the chill .. reach hand inside .. pulling out a small flame .. here's my hearth #vss #vssfantasy #hearth

who's the current #vss365 host? i wanna write for the prompt

i cracked open hard shell .. revealing wrinkled brown brain .. soft to touch .. full of nutrients .. feasting again .. if some's left i can add it to salads or sweets .. still this hickory tree screams .. while i eat my savoury treats #vss #vssdaily #pecan #zombie #vsshorror

hallowed ground from the wormsoil unquiet awake clawing upwards for downwards would be a mistake stench the nebulous air with carniverous bent to the town shamble fast cruel intent #poetry #sensewrds 150 #blessings #misty #hold

gather fresh sheafs of golden leafs for my bouquets in the october house sweet the stench of decay open roofs peeling paper mould covers it all entropy has designed it to fall #poetry #2wordprompt #autumnal #design

each climb up the hill carry pockets of scree for the wall gainst the wind, sun to shadow my home through the gaps tween the stones whistle tunes from my youth carry deep to my ears in the valley below #poetry #inkmine #scree
