#vss365 #poetry Let’s not fear The unknown Let’s see in hope Just like the night though dark Shimmers full of milkyways stars & a cosmos #lambent in our wonder Journeys start but do they truly end I look up at the sky I see no brickwalls

#Ghosts #hunger to return to their human forms. In our world there is an easy #fix. But often it is carried out by those #unqualified in digital resurrection. These re-lifed souls are corrupted shadows of their former selves, forever enslaved by the unscrupulous. #vss365 #2wordprompt #vssdaily #sff

Nothing remained of the outpost station at the very edge of the system. A listening post for possible attack from less obvious directions. Not even a #ghost of its existence. So complete was the destruction that even Dylan’s science officer could find little debris. Obliterated totally. #vss365

"We aren't the aliens," Etham replied. "How can you just... The DNA matches the third ghost signal perfectly!" Dughhe waved the data pad accusingly, "Kavee's ancestors and ours—" "They're the enemy," Etham kept to the holo table. "We don't kneel. We kill them." #ghost #vss365

#ghosts aren't real, sorry searching for them, I found that humans haunt themselves #vss365 #haikuprompt #senryu

Something’s odd not quite right all my ghosts have bones and they running after me through both day and night along passages that go nowhere I ask them to politely stop but there’s no end to my torment #vss365 #ghost

Skies vanish when the simulation begins. We spread out into the #Darkening Zone. The #inept will work in groups. The only way to win is to #isolate, like they taught us. I activate my weapon. Time to spread a little #pain. That's when I realise: I'm surrounded. #vss365 #2wordpropt #vssdaily #sff

he couldn’t be found only the blind breach remained within the fragile horde of stars carrying the entire history set in a molecular recess of the body his #pain endured among the ruins where something still listens and answers if one knows how to ask #FromOneLine #vss365 #blueskypoets 🖼️ Pinterest

#vss365 #pain let's swim naked in the moonlight kiss away the sorrow wash away the #pain feel the pulse of a new tomorrow learn to dance in the rain

an exquisite #pain those unreachable things that are forever gone #vss365 #haikuprompt #senryu

we inflict #pain unable to see the hidden tripwires and people hurt us little cuts hardly visible to the eye but we are all bleeding all the time yet we love we care deeply for one another it's up to us to create a safe space where someone can say i'm hurting, and i need you to see me #vss365

Every pang of #pain is secretly an invitation: “Come grow here.” It hurts → you expand. It burns → you become light. What once broke you is now the very place your strength blooms brightest. 🌱✨ #vss365

"I thought you were supposed to #protect us, the Laws of Robotics and all that!?" "Take a look in the #mirror, you are not a human." "But... what about my #soul?" "Yours is fine," it finished engaging the metal jaws of the compactor. "Mine has become #corrupted." #vss365 #2wordprompt #vssdaily #sff

#vss365 #📸 AstroBackyard #Poetry I carved myself out of smooth sandstone gravestone Sparkling dust in the shape of a glorious nebula My #soul refuses to lie dormant Particles of me become the universe Forever eternal In a sea of dark light, I am immortal

Darkness borne of reaching hands. They come to ferry you home. Watch dreamtime shift desperate to guide them as they go. All while red land she weeps her stolen children’s echos cry Their pleas carried upon swirling winds Across vast lands Lost #souls unfound They wander forever and alone #vss365

I held a skewed mirror to my own sorry soul— corrupt with discontent— regaling it with tales of it's own ills I decided to run to the hazel wood to protect myself but no matter— the mirror followed me there so I begged of it, reflect all of me not just the bad you see— finally I listened to me.

The valkyrie descends from the heavens, gathers the dead in her longship. Infantry, officers, bodies gaping open. Blood soaks the deck like rain. I approach, but she bars my way. "Are you not the #soul - gatherer?" "Yes," she replies, "But you must have one to come aboard." #vss365 #microfiction

I don't fear #shadows liquid pools of dark, evil parades in plain sight #vss365 #haikuprompt #senryu

right before sunset foam splits in two or three lines #shadows stay awhile #vss365 #haiku #zen #poetry #blueskypoets #sea #sunset

My #shadow Is a giant— A counterpoint To light It strides the World Incarnate A “Me” shaped Slice of night When the World Goes sideways You can count on it To fight Not to destroy But to define Line Tween wrong and right #vss365

between #shadow and wind the forest reminds me that every silence is a teacher and every path a question waiting for the one who listens and sometimes the search becomes a descent into quiet depths where your breath alone keeps the dark from closing in. #blackandwhitephotography #nature #vss365

The helm eased the Anthill out from behind the #shadow of the moon and didn’t bother to adjust alignment with the the vessel ahead. Holding up his hand, he waited … waited … then gave the silent order to the weapons officer, sending out the laser to tap the engines. Training exercise. #vss365

#vss365 I met a woman at a party who said she collected regrets. I asked if she kept them in boxes. She said no, they were more like #shadows. I liked that. I told her I had a few regrets shaped like propeller-hats. She said those were the worse kind. I agreed, and we lived happily ever after.

The #shadow #zone was a labyrinth of great complexity hidden in the fringes of the cyber-sphere, but it was of no #alarm to me. Of all the #terrors there that stalked the avatars of folk and feasted on their digital souls, I was the greatest. I am Minotaur. #vss365 #2wordprompt #vssdaily #sff

"This is a human brain #stem," the cyborg monster grumbled. "My brother's," I said. "Not #worth anything out of #season," he said, discarding it to the floor. But there was an easy way to #soothe my ruffled feelings. I reached for the blaster on my hip. #vss365 #2wordprompt #vssdaily #scifisat

#vss365 He awoke standing with an unfamiliar kid in his arms. It began to squirm, and his body took over, #soothing the child, speaking in a familiar voice. He had been sleepwalking for so long, he was now just a passenger in his own body. He wondered what was keeping him tethered.

#vss365 #poetry Deep within the blink of your eye lies #soothe & cosy A universe of secrets it holds closely In its twinkle a river of dreams arise Where whispers of love & silent understanding harmonise Bathing in its tranquil sighs Lost in the magic where time slowly flicker flies

since I can remember... trying to fly #2WordPrompt #haiku #micropoetry

When the warp #thrum faded, our armada was lost. The enemy had manipulated our warp tunnel, marooning us in deep space. We will #try to get home but prospects are grim #since we are so far out. We should have tried to #connect with them. Not gone in with guns blazing. #vss365 #2wordprompt #scififri

Dylan could feel the #thrum of the change in the engines through the deck plating. Through the captain’s chair. He has started to become used to the feel of the ship, able to sense even the smallest changes. Not quite like with Magpie, where he could almost sense the need for maintenance. #vss365

Geordi's sight was fixed yet his heart sang most to hear his ship's warp drive #thrum #vss365 #haikuprompt #senryu #scififri #startrek

As the day, #impeached by night, fades #nonplussed in #auric light I hear within a familiar #thrum & feel your heart reaching out to mine— beseeching that we sit as one gazing up at a #twinning sky forgetting all that stretches long, always, between you & I.

#vss365 Let’s just fade into eachother With the internal #thrum thrumming Of our heartbeats gently together Silencing the worlds drum drum drum ming #poetry

Across the white hush of winter where snowfall softens memory a hidden #thrum rises from the sleeping earth a faint ancient pulse beneath every silence something eternal dreaming. #blackandwhite #monochrome #photography #nature #naturephotography #landscape #vss365 #blueskypoets #skypoets #poetry

They created the mind #gym as an immersive simulation with the #promise to #improve our species; both mind and body. But the AIs running the place had #obfuscated the truth: That it was just another way of testing how far they could push us until we were broken. #vss365 #2wordprompt #vssdaily #sff

though we #obfuscate light defies the darkest clouds truth shall not be hid #vss365 #haikuprompt #senryu Image by Michael Michelovski on unsplash

You #obfuscate your heart, yet like moon’s silver edge, your longings wander the seams of nightfall, before writing yourself across my skin. Like stars peddling memories, you dust me in your fragments— half-formed notes of warmth that dry on my heart until shadows swallow you once more. #vss365

"You have to #massage the #patient thusly. If they #quiver here at the base of the neck, then you have #detected an anomaly," he instructed. "And the anomaly is?" I asked. "That they are indeed a body-snatched human of course." "And then?" "And then. You. Run." #vss365 #vssdaily #2wordprompt #sff
