The black cat ate the raven As the house was falling down There's a monkey in the morgue Fortunato can't be found Hard to hide a heart When it makes an awful sound Is this a pit I'm in Or am I buried under ground? #poetry

My Peter Pan shadow Gets restless sometimes Dares me fly Lost boys don't cry They imagine That everything's alright A line without a hook Lips against a thimble Fairy dust in my eyes If I leap off the deep end I'm never landing again But to live would be An awfully big adventure #poetry

I don't know why or what or where My head is hollow Nought but air Not a single thought appearing Guided on By what I'm feeling All I really understand My heart is held Within your hands I never need a new idea Simply put My mind is clear #poetry

There's a raven in my room that keeps raving on As if the beating of my heart is its favourite song

The ghosts of my dead friends Appear to me in dreams But it's hard to be reminded And it's more than I can take So I stay awake for days In hopes I won't be haunted By the empty space inside of me That never goes away #poetry

Just an elder emo uncle about to clock in for baby sitting duties (wish me luck)

I would climb from every grave, Claw through all the earth, Pick the lock from every tomb, Leap out of every hearse. To find myself inside your heart. My afterlife is you. It’s you that brings me back again, It’s you that pulls me through. #poetry #poem

Good morning 🌞☕

There must be nightshade in her nail polish, mascara made from monkshood. There must be hemlock in her highlighter, foundation made from foxglove. She’s a field of poison ivy, the bane of wolves and men. I’ll risk rapture from the roots, picking petals till I’m dead. #poetry #poem

Spending the afternoon with Priscilla (yes, I name my guitars)

Revisiting a classic for this evenings reading #booksky #nowreading

The man I know as father is far from the ideal. This wooden boy is running to look for something real. With scissors for these strings in hand and something for the pain. Farewell to this familiar tree. Break the branch that bears my name. #vss365 #poetry

Kiss me undead

Today's fit: Satanic mechanic

I watched you moor yourself to a man made of misery who wouldn’t breathe you in anchored in the shallows still wanting something deeper he took the wind from your sails I watched you keep afloat on the hopes of something real then I felt a sinking feeling you would never see the ocean #poetry

Never learned to count my blessings I choose instead to dwell in my disasters www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6L3...

My mother tried to teach me The beauty of the trees The innocence of flowers The gracefulness of leaves It's in a mothers nature To nurture what she loves Now I've grown to see the garden In everything she does #Cassiopeian #nature #poetry #writingcommunity

Today's read. Should be interesting 🤔 #booksky

There is something in the air A low static hum There’s a tension in the room Like the buzz of what’s to come Eyes become entwined Wires wrap around Hearts begin to spark In love’s electric sound ⚡ #poetry

Never thought I would surpass the age of twenty seven— the age that all my heroes died and made their way beyond. I'm older now than those that left. Maybe I have more to do, make some music of my own, perhaps. But I won't rush the song. #vss365 #surpass #poetry

Watching clouds above partake In a game of hide and seek. They see a solitary figure And hide the moon from me. I wonder, when they wander To a different lonely heart, Will the moon appear again, Or will it leave me in the dark? #vss365 #partake #poetry

Work goes up, posts go down. The circle of life 🫩

Nostalgic for a time I've never seen, past or future stuck somewhere between. The milk has passed its use by date. I'm feeling much the same, in the middle of the moments where I dream. #emoetry

The words fall out like lightning and I’m left to lick my wounds The words hurt worse than sticks and stones who lied about that first? The words keep me awake at night like a lamp left on too long The words the words the words I want aren’t the ones you say #vss365 #poetry #lightning

Two people too stubborn to accept they were wrong Both missing pieces from the rooks to the pawns A magnanimous decision from each of the kings Walk away from the table so each gets to live #vss365 #magnanimous #poetry

Must have walked through every ladder every mirror seems to crack Born under a bad sign the eyes of a black cat My rabbit must be rabid the foot no longer works Bountiful misfortune but at least it can't get worse #vss365 #bountiful #poetry

Two clovers, without the c Picking petals just to see If the flowers know what's true Love me nots are tossed aside And the wind picks up the lies #Cassiopeian #clovers #poetry #micropoetry

Clouds become a cataract across the sky to blind the sun of goings on below. Ashamed to say it's better that way — the storm can stop it spying on our sins. #vss365 #cataract #poetry #micropoetry

She carried a rain cloud like a black balloon. It wasn’t for her gloomy mood — simpler than that. She liked the sound of thunder, loved jumping in puddles. #poetry #micropoetry
