with dance poems in your hair
breaths of moondust
surfing your lucent skin
a crimson kiss
so sweet
i blush
& as i hear your song
within my heart
you are my joy
my everything
& I'm falling
falling
hopelessly
beautifully
wonderously in love
with the essence
of your exquisite soul

a haze of mist lies softly
autumns gentle sigh

I'm choking
on the bones of this world.
My misanthropic verve
drives me to write
in venom
but I'm getting fatigued.
I want to love,
I want to rise.
Bitterness becomes
a coping skill
and soaks in like a virus.
My vomit speaks;
it curses
then sputters
into binary code.

When sadness showers down
Made from artificial
Silly people clouds
There naught be
An umbrella
Or a #raincoat
Big enough
To cover
Ones heart
From welling up
And sinking
Like a boat
With a broken hull

as the gloaming arrived
we ran laughing
into the autumnal wind
our tawny raincoats spinning
amid apricot swirling leaves
with just the synergy
of our heartbeats
echoing the amber skies
& my only wish
for this weightless freedom
of endless kisses
forever dancing by your side

The griefer wore a long coat, like a #raincoat, on his character, trying to look like something modern in the fantasy world, but it just looked dumb. He walked around, text bubbles appearing over his head, insulting everyone.

Some responded, insulting him back, but Rory walked away.

The weather on Hera could turn in an instant, one of those worlds where terraforming hadn’t worked quite as well.

Dylan tugged the #raincoat tight as he entered the seedy bar, searching for one man. If Dylan could get him on their side, they might stand a chance.

He found him. Passed out.

Stirring shores coves
Sands briney ripples
Magnetic reflections
As the planets vastness
Shrinks in invanentness
Of countless Milky Ways
We microscopic slides
Under carvings waves
Reflections of ions
Of nature's touches

Pacific Ocean's Trails
🌊🌊🌊💙💚🌿🌿🌿

thoughts, swept away—

in a waterfall's thundering verve
a cauldron of swirling froth

i inhale, pausing
reflect on the tranquil currents

meandering around rocks
settling in a tranquil sun-dappled pool

distillation of experiences,
we know the work, the art of stillness

silver breath rising —

10/10 morning walk- a shaded waterfall settling in tranquil pool of dappled light

Rory loved watching Katie play the game, both in game and real life, because, although she wasn’t all that good, she put everything into it with such #verve and passion that he couldn’t help but enjoy the game more (if possible) because of her.

As she screamed, again, Rory hid a smile.

Dylan expected a dressing down, something he wasn’t unused to, but usually under the auspices of some officer of the law wanting to know he thought he would get away with whatever he’d done.

He didn’t expect praise for his #verve and speed of quelling dissent among his fellow reprobates.

Floating around with such #verve, the alien spectres glowed green. I thought the #medicine i’d taken played tricks, but then they spoke:

“#Write us the promise this #instance in your blood!”

Then I remembered the ufo, my old promise; Earth was in danger again.
