The Sun hid shyly As though unwilling to watch And we fell to wither & rot Its #reflection trapped In the beseeching eyes Of the dying Their prayers trapped Behind soundless screams It #mattered little (#health being a thing of the past) Until all was silent Even I #vss365

Now it's time For me to fly No song of swan Just this goodbye With gasp & sigh I breathe my last The time has flown It flew too fast And all what's past Gone in a blink A second's thought For me to think I'm on the brink My head to rest The seconds #timed I did my best #vss365

Breathe in Breathe out A simple #action One that surely Ends too soon Blessed with life A finite boon Quick to bloom & fall to rot Becoming that Which all forgot A falling tear Lost in the rain While those behind Embracing pain Perhaps these breaths Were all for naught #vss365

I got tired, you know Overwhelmed from being Underwhelming Wanting nothing more Than to close my eyes Drop all the weight & self-hate Releasing the stress And everything that made my Head such a fucking mess But it wasn't an #option So I did what I could: Kept breathing #vss365

The #option grim To sink or swim Perhaps we'll drift Beneath the wave Where there is little Left to save An onyx grave There be no light & All we crave's Beyond our sight Too weak to fight Nephilim's grasp And so we breathe Our final gasp Welcoming Abyssal night #vss365

Happy release day to the last book in my Sunset Cove series, Let It Snow! This cozy read is perfect for the holiday season, but don't just take my word for it. Take a look at some of the reviews and start reading! Available here or wherever you get your ebooks: tinyurl.com/njd6fnha 🌶️📚 💙📚 #booksky

I never had the Capacity For perspicacity The #reality? My words & verbs Stuck in an alleyway Of banality Let it be what it may While others drive Free on the freeway Of he say & she say The bars I spit & spray Comes with a note Of finality Killer Like a verbal fatality #vss365

Is this the #goal? He mused disconsolately. To draw in yet another agonizing, pointless breath? To hear the maddeningly monotonous beep-beep-beep of the machines monitoring his vitals while laying here in this antiseptic hell? Better to pull the fucking plug & be done. #vss365

Beyond within Let end begin For night grows near (I shall not fear) I cannot steer So drift & veer My hands too weak (I shall not speak) Though all is bleak I will not seek To find a lie (I shall not cry) And so I die With whispered sigh I join the night (I shall not fight) #OurPoetryX

We took #issue With how Sol died Falling from the sky With nary a whisper & us alone to play With the bleak things So we found a new diety Grinning in the night With cold sickle smile Ebon locks adorned In distant diamonds Limned in luminescent lunacy We found our light #vss365

They spoke of the night sky in ancient #literature - old Luna framed by a billion pinpricks, smiling his knowing smile. Yet we bid farewell to the stars, embracing the ebon abyss, knowing they were never for us. Just twinkling memories, fallen as forgotten tears... #vss365

Dark heart Marked soul Can't lose Control Just have One goal Must play Some role Trust may Be stole Rust away High toll Must have been My roll Die cast Not whole Just my #education #vss365

We had no #creature comforts Where I was born & bred We worshipped triple-beam dreams Razor blade cuts & lined-up scenes Suits & ties? Shit...they were nothing but The fruits of lies Laughing While the spark In our eyes dies #vss365

PERSONA has been called "wildly mythic" and "excruciatingly human." Do you have your copy?

Razor-traced lines Cutting into an #Argent filigree The pain Exquisite Each line Beautifully defined And it's killing me My feelings be Unrefined From a sundered mind An Escher artwork The ending Underlined And all I ever thought Of myself Now undermined #vss365

We're trapped here In this petri dish #experiment Microscopic menagerie Living & dying Under harsh light Never knowing If the last goodbye Will be our next Goodnight #vss365

'It's going to be ok', I think to myself as the voices - dead voices. Ghosts - #creep in, whispering in hidden corners. Hungry. Worms eat as worms do. Burrowing with malicious malfeasance, erasing & displacing all positive thoughts. And my sanity? Nothing but a meal. #vss365

It's all going to come down to one final breath. The big things and small. The worries, fears, and preoccupations. Those you hate & those you love. Forgotten in a final gasp. The world will continue its #heliacal journey, until it too gasps its last. And all is quiet. #vss365

The river is beautiful today. 🖤

Treated myself to a haircut and pizza. What are you doing to be kind to yourself this weekend? 🖤 #BeKindToYourself #Sir3sSereneSaturday

On Saturdays we do exciting things, like hooking up the trailer and going to the dump. 🤣

After a couple of weeks hosting my own personal pity party, along with being sick... I'm back. 😈🖤

My idea of a wild Friday night...

No matter how dark things get, you can always find some light within. Be kind to yourself. Love yourself. You deserve it. 🖤❤️🖤

Unsought & #unseen No one thought He had dreams Yet so caught He sewed seams The threads ripped & Wove screams His head gripped Ran through scenes The dead slipped To all themes & Bled script By all means While red dripped To extremes #vss365

We ain't got much time here. Love as hard as you can, as much as you can. 🖤 #GoodNight

#HumpDay is almost officially...behind us... 😆

I don't have #energy I'm tired Tired of Dawns & Sunsets Loss & regrets Of being the one Everyone forgets Tired of living & breathing Dreams & believing Tired of hoping & coping With everyone leaving So I'll sigh my last sighs & goodbyes My last rites Just my last cries #vss365

Halfway through the week but I only have energy for throwback humping.

Sat in a circle #Saucer sized eyes Bound by ties The way that time dies Entranced I was By the crackling cook Ensnared unprepared For the shackling hook & it TOOK IT FUCKING TOOK So I sought the bliss Of sweet razor kiss Hoping I would Drift away Hoping I wouldn't exist #vss365

The line Between love And loss Is but an #atom thick #vss365

Give me anesthesia I need an anesthesiologist As I #hover here Between the border of death And just unconsciousness I need a way out now Radiate me a radiologist Someone with knowledges' Someone to save me No if or maybe Or say the last rite And tell me goodnight #vss365

On sundays, we make soup - got the stock simmering now.

An #android now Who never sleeps Never smiles But never weeps And so he reaps What they have sewn Never keeps What they have grown He's on his own His maker's gone Has no kin Nor any spawn And so withdrawn He rusts away Nothing left And less to say #vss365

Now I rest my weary head I've had no sleep I'm so damn tired My thoughts are mired No soul to keep Empty, #arid Still I rust Will I trust? The voices lie Burrowing Their hooks dig deep My choice to fly Pon ashen wings Onyx tears I slowly weep #vss365

The lights on, but nobody's home. 💡☕ #GoodMorning

#Unearthly? Maybe I was unearthed & unworthy Waters always muddled & murky Ya heard me? Just the voice Of the voiceless Screaming 'I had no Fuckin choices!' The voices were just Fuckin noises & It's the noise That annoys us & destroys ua #vss365

Maybe I should buy a coffin The #deluxe model With all the bells and whistles Box up all my mistakes & missteps All the past hates & tough breaks Bury them fuckers deep Where they belong And let it be some kind of Casket chrysalis So the rest of me Can rest peacefully #vss365

#Undertones Undertowed me Left me alone Grim, dark & lonely Here I am A fuckin' phony You think you know me? I was born Among rats and roaches I was bred to be bled & doubt my own thoughts When darkness approaches When all is hopeless And all I know is I can't show this #vss365

I guess I'm not that scary after all... 🖤🐦

On lazy Sundays, we hike. 🖤

Tonight's moon, from my front balcony:

My dad got a new kitteh. 😊

I stood there alone As a steady Numbing rain Drizzled down It was ok Alone was safe I had my #raincoat, anyway And the droplets Fat and heavy Made good camouflage For the tears #vss365

Operation: Haircut was a success.

We lost our #verve Our shine Flickering out of existence As embers drifting away Lost in the lonely night A kaleidoscope of colours Gave way to an implacable wave Of ashen grey #vss365

All of this...all of it - the sunshine & the rain, the good days & the bad - is going to end someday. Might as well enjoy the ride while we're on it. 🖤🩵🖤

We were knee-deep Street #libertines Thinking freer Than we'd ever been Knowing all we'd ever seen Cold alleys & steel bars No green valleys & surreal stars Peeled down to deal with The real scars Focused on collecting These Dinars Didn't matter The world was still ours #vss365

It is officially hoodie season! Gotta keep the nips warm!

I heard the Raven At my door Knocking, knocking Evermore Ebon eyes A sight for sore (His secrets mine I knew the sign) & drew the line In #ash & blood Memories Became a flood With boneless thud Fell to the floor With final gasp Breathed nevermore... #vss365
