#Elastic dreams
surpass what I thought
possible
their details
engulf my fingertips
and my soul surrenders to
belief

A hand with no play
we wish to #sublimate
this dystopian rule
his house of cards
overdue

to fall

When a tiptoe of a breeze
brushes past
we hold our breaths
hoping without cause
that the wind of change is readying itself

to roar

Embers of #catastrophe
the only light that remains
earth devoured by greed
ecosystems stripped
bare

Irreparable fate…
We get back what we give,
not what we take

#Yearn is a word that I don’t like
So I’m going to let it burn
With all the other once upon
a yearns

I no longer feel its dire desire
My core now tangos with fire
I walk like a flame
My heart doesn’t break
It bends at my will untamed

Beveled fragments of memory #seethe words I no longer understand, as the familiar becomes foreign with each new moon.

#vss365 #abject

why art thou cast down
o my soul
I am indeed
cast down
abject
which means
yeeted
to infinity
and beyond

it could be brain
chemistry or it could be
the looming collapse
of humanity's tenuous
reality construct
or then again
it might just be
allergies

(I’m back after a long, unintended hiatus—fine just busy)

Curdling like milk
#abject misery
sours the air
the pungency stings
as I gather this malady
and carry it to a certain end
out with the rest of the trash

Sometimes I just wander
#Clarity escapes me
And uncertainty follows me
Blurriness on the horizon
Ambiguity at every turn
Chaos is my guiding light
No sense of purpose
But loving the vagueness
Of nowhere
And nothingness
Wandering in twilight

#vss365 #prompt #wraith

It's Sunday Storyteller time!

#wraith – A ghost or shadowy apparition, often seen as an omen

Today, a whisper from my #DreamsThatBite project. Not yet ready for release, but the Wraith demanded to be heard!
#microfiction #HorrorWriting

What does your apparition say?

The house was
Not alive
Had never been
Part of it
Not Really

Silent dwellers
Still inhabited
—The basement
—The attic
—The garden

Sometimes humans came
To stay
But only for a little while
When the house spoke—
The living fled

The wraith was only
A whisper in the story
But she knew
Her story was
The lifeblood of the tale

A light in the darkness
though no beacon of safety
the #anglerfish awaits prey

just like grandmama
holding a single candle 🕯️
at midnight’s stroke

Drew this Mermaid sketch yearss ago. I could do much better with the anatomy now. But I still like the way her tail and the rock looks.

A song of #hiraeth
edges the periphery
of my heart
notes felt
more than heard
