would you tread softly if i unearth my trust & show you the sonnets of my soul, if i hand you my precious poetic heart to be held to be loved, if i give you the key to unlock the space where my hopes & dreams live, would you tread softly, if i give you...    ~ me #vss365 #soul #poetry

she'll always be broken yet with a smile brighter than dancing fireflies, a sunset heart filled with kindness, it allows her breathtaking stardust soul to glow ~beautifully glow~ right past those fractured wounds helping the lost & despondent to always feel hope within her light. #vss365 #wound

this enchanted life doesn't always feel like it although it's still there amongst the broken dreams and my spirit that is healing #vss365 #enchanted #tanka

I wish to cease to exist sometimes just vanish into the thin air it's not Thanatos I have enough Eros to go on living for a thousand years I am having the Prufrock complex tired of decisions and indecisions the universe doesn't stop for anyone it won't for a #miniscule me #vss365

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

Magpie landed some distance from the #mountainous reaches of the this part of the planet. With the Antilles still in orbit, he couldn’t chance spooking the man he had come to see. A man that, as rumour had it, knew where The Enemy came from. He could just be some kind of a crank. Or not. #vss365

Nora wafted smoke from a smouldering sage bundle through the house. Bob quickly noticed she'd forgotten to open the windows, and the thick air made him wheeze. "No more," he squeaked, far from #enchanted with her mother's idea of spiritual cleansing. #vss365

Summers breeze And Winters chill Both wear the #enchanted On their sleeves Bare limbs of trees Snug in snowy blankets And carefree blossoms Swaying their perfume In the air Intoxicating us with their charm We become magical Stories in the making #vss365 #poetry

Dylan had received a commendation for his actions, though he didn’t know why. He’d just sat there in the captain’s chair shouting orders to a crew that seemed #enchanted with his leadership. He didn’t know why that was, either, but so long as they followed orders, he didn’t really care. #vss365

The thing was clearly #enchanted, the ethereal glow gave that away, but what it actually was, Rory couldn’t begin to figure out. It was … well … it was … something. He hesitated getting Esme to touch it because strange things like that often had weird effects. Still, curiosity prevailed. #vss365

Bob insisted that the spider they were looking at was "massive." Nora watched its #minuscule shuffle across the floor. What on earth would she do without her brave hero at home? Survival would surely be impossible. #vss365

In this #minuscle world in a cosmos so vast wide, can we let bygones gently slide Weight of old grudges like anchors bind but forgiveness a balm for hearts maligned With open hearts compassion our creed, for in forgiving we find true freedom, but forgetting, maybe indeed #vss365 #poetry #prose

I got the new year blues Can’t even reach my toes Blues and toes don’t even rhyme But that’s ok Coz my mind Has lost it’s something something to find So I’ll sit around the not real campfire And play a tune On my imaginary Harmonica #poetry #rerun #AnOldOne

Trying to find the lost freighter, without a working transponder, out there in the expanse of open space would prove next to impossible, but it held vital supplies for a war-ravaged colony. It was so #minuscule in the emptiness, Dylan knew it was a fool’s errand to even consider trying. #vss365

Rory tried to sort through the jewels that had cascaded from the broken urn, as part of the latest quest, to find the one, magical jewel that Esme’s employer needed, but they were all so tiny, so #minuscule, that he kept clicking on the wrong ones. He could see it, but touching it was hard! #vss365

within the echoes of my heart in the spaces of endearment plays my hiraeth melody melancholic musings always singing your name wistful evocations of you my love memories of those kisses that made me sigh a time when your adoring arms were once my home #vss365 #kiss 🎨 Freepik ❤️

My Grandparents shared a beautiful love for 70 years. When he died, she would sit outside on their garden bench every day & be visited by a Robin. I like to think it was him, letting her know he was still close by. Today, I'm celebrating their wonderful love❤️ #ValentinesDay2026

Under a sunset on Laguna beach, I heard a sirens song. But, there was a long #lacuna within. I think she was tired of being forlorn. So I dived in, saying “I’ll be your king!” She said in a thick cockney accent; “ na luv, I’m 4 undred yrs old! Your too young, soz.” #vss365 #microfiction #vss

the surge of words the tempest of the verb the radiance of utterance all pointing toward another realm a fissure in the real the #lacuna that language reveals and conceals intangible sovereign still it exalts us or devastates us consumes us or sets us free #vss365 #poetry #blueskypoets

#lacuna of rain wide riverbed turns to dust underground #refrain #vss365 #haikuchallenge #haiku #blueskypoets 📸 from Pinterest

There were very few areas of #lacunae in the game. Practically every part of every region had something to see. Most of the areas had something to do. Unless, like Rory, you were inquisitive & had learned how to reach ‘unreachable‘ places. You could find emptiness if you looked hard enough. #vss365

The entirety of space was just one big #lacuna. Dylan knew that more than most. Just … emptiness everywhere but in the most tiny enclaves known as stars, planets, moons. He found pleasure in understanding how microscopically tiny he was in the grand scheme of things. A little point of life. #vss365

when her gentle heart is hurting the sadness quietly leaks out concealed within her tears but her hope lives on filling the liminal lacuna residing within her beautiful soul with poetic words & aspirations of him for him & a wondrous love that could never be #vss365 #Lacuna #poetry #poem

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 13 is #lacuna “lagoon? No, lacuna . . . different from lagoon. Not a cave exactly but an opening, like a mouth, that swallows things. He opened his mouth to show. It goes into the belly of the world.” Barbara Kingsolver #13 Definition: Lacuna - Unfilled space, gap

Soul longing for warmth I #touch your hand and shiver Our connection losr #haiku #vss365 #poetry

Letters and words misalign, her thoughts shiver in tossed autumn rain. She folds her paper heart into a kite, and it dances above Cassiopeia’s tilted crown. #Dark stars willow in her chest, a garden of wounds that bend toward the moon. #vss365

dawn splits the #dark wide in fierce #romance with the night orange torn from wounds morning gathers through the pines brief as our bright breathing hours #vss365 #tankaThursday #poetry #blueskypoets

"How did you even get your head stuck in the sleeve?" Nora said as she tried to free Bob from his knitted sweater. She reckoned he needed less enthusiasm and more direction. "It's #dark in here," he replied. #vss365

The #dark of space was uncompromising. Vast, vast tracts of nothing with only the most minimal spots of light millions of kilometres away from each other. Dylan loved that emptiness. That loneliness. Let others huddle together on rocks, fighting away the night. He preferred to soar. #vss365

Rory scrambled around in the #dark, none of Esme’s light-making tools or spells working, and he had to be wary of the drops to either side, where the tiniest silhouette of an edge could just about be seen. Then he remembered the lantern keepsake and the way ahead became far more clear. #vss365
