A soulless man, with an empty grin.
They've opened up the asylum doors.
I could have been anything.
No DM's unless we're dating.
Pinned
A Black and White photo of her.
But her lips are moving,
as empty eye sockets
stare, as they bleed.
I think she's crying for help,
I think she's dying alone.
A Black and White photo of her,
as she laughs,
and she's at peace again,
she's Sixteen again,
she's alive again,
in a Black and White photo.

LIVE LONG, LEARN HARD.

Coincidence or #timed?
Benefit of the doubt?
You didn't see the signs?
You didn't suss him out?
So cynically I smile,
but years are on your side,
next time won't be the same,
with your eyes open wide,
you will prevail.
Next time.

The ships screamed overhead, within the atmosphere of the moon, and Dylan checked the auto-chronometer. Fast, but simply not fast enough. They needed to eke out more speed, more manoeuvrability, more everything,
He called up and told them to do it again, #timed once again until they got it.

Love is more than words
More than the number
Of rose petals in a bunch

Love isn’t #hard
When you understand
The language of your heart

Across me

Tho you’ve
No clue

Lungs swell up gasping for air
Heart leaps
Into the back of the throat
No air it chokes
That’s fear in #action

Fear of losing a dream
That can’t ever come true
Blossom raining monsoon

I don’t fear spiders or ghouls
I fear losing my dreams of you

shrouded in darkness I was
you were immersed in light
we didn't have any #options
love took us by surprise

I couldn't bear to be exposed
in your world without bars
you forsook your shining armor
to become my midnight dark knight

Second fiddle,
never solves the riddle.
Spared no care,
felt optional or spare.
Tucked in the boots,
gave two hoots.
loud mouth shoots
grew new skin
When choices are thin,
always choose within.

Elements of imagination
Bring with them destinations

Full of invisible desire
Little dotted islands conspire
Between mind and hearts

Where we do not drown
In #reality’s murky waters

Hogan understood the #reality of the situation, but, like Dylan, he kept it to himself until they were alone in their racks at the safe house.

The war was going badly. All the odds pointed toward annihilation for the human race, but that didn’t matter. All that mattered was the trying.

Nora frowned in front of the mirror, "Every time I push past midnight, #reality reminds me I’m no longer 18. I've got dark circles, wrinkles and the worst posture to show for it." "Yes, I can see that," Bob casually replied.

I still like using a #number of
smilies like :-) and :-/
to convey feelings

And one time I tried to convey
an indeterminant feeling
by using this :-

But it looked like something else,
so I didn’t.

I was born of a dark intellect
I told ‘em all
As I sought to see out
Of the dark pit I was left in
The sinister pitch of his voice
Cackled mock hysteria
But I was born of dark intellect
I bit at his jugular
He died the sting
Of my #eldritch truth

#vss365 Traceability was key. From donation egg to womb, to farm fed and plated, the entire lifecycle was encoded in one simple #numerical barcode.
Food and comfort were both carrot and stick. Obedience was rewarded with larger portions and warm and dry hay. ...

How insane

For what?
A dime
Chained to a clock

All in Death’s circle
Line up
Fill your cup
Life starts
Uh, where?
A place few ever go
That breath called Now

Doesn’t really matter
The #number of our lives
The hope in the stars told me so

We could come back or go on
As silk worms, crickets
Even three eyed monsters

It’ll always be us
Soulmate dimensions
Endless limitless

The band disappeared after a night which went down in the annals of Heavy Metal legend, with a body and occult paraphernalia left behind.
They went unseen and unheard of for decades, other than #mythical sightings in the darkest realms, on a quest to find the most evil sound...

November drags
as drizzle falls,
from dark, dank, cold wet morning,
till cold, dank, dark, still night.
June, July, August,
are oft remembered #myths
March through to May,
mere ghosts.
Time flies, so they say.
So they say.
Our lives, #measured in seasons,
eroded, as waves do to the coast.

Broken we stand in grief,
lost are the brave, young men,
memories stirred merely by bugles.
Tho' we celebrate the fallen soldiers,
do we value our freedom?
How do we #measure peace?
