She lights up a room, Lambent like a movie screen, Silvery and gold. #vss365 #lambent #poetry #writingcommunity #haiku

They clutch at pearls, while we handle thunder. A prayer from their lips, when we speak in tongues. They sit inside, behind a salt line. We dance with witches and wolves through the pines. #poetry #blueskypoetry #writingcommunity

Bothered by the birds, my heart an empty coffer— offer me a drink. #cassiopeian #offer #poetry #haiku

Ghost in the machine, Haven’t heard from her in days. Wasn’t meant to be. Haunted by words left unsaid, I can read between the lines. #vss365 #ghost #poetry #tanka

Is this thing on? I tap the mic To scream into The black of night Reverberating Atmosphere Echoes out Then back to here Feedback loop Around it goes Louder still A sound that grows Go until my lungs collapse Screaming bloody murder #poetry #blueskypoetry #writingcommunity

(Medusa) Death by a thousand Lashes on your eyelids Caught in the headlights Left to wonder how I fell into your grace Pearly gates within your gaze A wink would sink me under Now the sky is looking grey Stony days ahead As snakes become entangled On a grave And solemn heart #poetry

About me: - Scorpio - INFP - Elder Emo - Classic literature and poetry - Writer, looking for a community of likeminded artists to share work and bounce ideas off

The ever changing hue Of new beginning blues Rivers filled with bad blood A storm that rages on Poison in the well Dreaming of a drought Waking up to water A sky that cries in pain Calling as it falls Teardrops just for me Shadowy new depths Drowning once again #vss365 #poetry #pain

Sap drips down the tree From the wound left by the axe Bleeding golden brown #haiku #poetry

My soul of gnashing fangs My heart of sharpened knives Made dull beneath your love Made gentle in your eyes #vss365 #soul #poetry #writingcommunity

Performing for an audience Reality rehearsed as act Obfuscated scripted pages Break a leg but not your back Applause or jeers all the same A playbill or an epitaph #vss365 #obfuscate #poetry #writingcommunity

To turn a bat into a moth To make it fly towards the light Denies it of its right to live Accept the truth It likes the night #poetry #blueskypoetry #writingcommunity

A quiver full A sword unsheathed Arrows rain Like falling leaves A battle hymn A song to kill A place to die Upon the hill From blood to rust The angels weep Death is just A dreamless sleep #vss365 #quiver #poetry #writingcommunity

Thorns along the stem Keep me from picking petals Still I want to know #poetry #blueskypoetry #writingcommunity #haiku

Only fools rush in And that's the point Ignorance is bliss Dumb from touch A silly thing Stupid from a kiss #poetry #blueskypoetry #writingcommunity

What wanes once Will grow again From a crescent moon To broken hearts The tides turn in our favour #vss365 #poetry #wane

The day has been a drawn out fight. Patiently waiting on the cusp of a quiet evening. As the sun begins to sink I can't help but to think of you, And suddenly all is right. #vss365 #cusp #poetry
