Toxic tranquility At the edge Of the universe Poisonous silence A sanctuary Of solitude Dangerous dreams Making you forget The rest of the world #Toxic #vss365

possessed souls with atrophied words living on an island rocked by #toxic fog their dreams in slow decomposition the owls of hatred they never met howl like a storm their plaintive gaze steadily fixed on the fairy broken in the corner she once called home #vss365 #blueskypoets 🖼️ from Pinterest

#toxic tears well and fall Eyes belladonna bright Burning pools line the floor As if they're something trite. My misery is consuming all There's no light left to find I have nothing inside left to give Just a vacuous empty mind #vss #poem #depression

full poem on link Conquering Writers Block The nib spat words onto empty page, Filling the decrepit void with spiderlike suffering. Brow tensed and sweat shone Forehead deep, ruffled thought laden Lines chiselled to withhold the torrent.... #poem daveashley.co.uk/conquering-w...

The void Sucking all emotions Darkness breathes within The malevolent foreboding ocean Filled with unadulterated sin Chilling the bones to the #marrow Corrupting all to black Nothing more can be done To get those feelings back. I think this could be longer. #vss365 #depression #MentalHealth

full poem in link Trying to be different. My love for you is like a big cow, moo. Is something I should say in earnest, A different take in romancing you, Just something shouted really not churlish. Perhaps wrestling a lion fiercely... #poem #sonnet #humour #love daveashley.co.uk/trying-to-be...

The Rat Biting my lip, #whimper escapes. The rat keeps staring, its been staring for an hour. Keeping me hemmed in Satanic black eyes drawing me in. Another #whimper. Paralysed. Waiting for it to attack. It still stares! #vss365

the fist resounded man against his wife smirking in silouette listening to the #whimper As he struck again. Toxicity in his punch. As it had been a thousand times before The knife plunged His fists lay open And her escape was finally made. #vss

Defenceless as they get round up, Interned into a gulag. No longer seen as human But waste to be disposed. Effluence of the uncaring society Who are cast aside Sent away No longer their dignity dignified. #vss #defense

Full poem on link Poet Swathes of words, forms, meter. Colours bright, objects defined, Sometimes even a rhyme sublime But you know, not all the time. Humour, drama in equal proportions.... #poem #poetry daveashley.co.uk/poet/
