Brackish #brine salted hell stifling, suffocating, succumbing, sucking me down into the mire. Saturating my shredded soul drowning it the dark dank waters Stygian depths depravity corrupting casually. Cancerous in totality #vss365 #prompt

The scent of you lingered on the pillow, fabric kissed deeply making it yours. The hour had passed even though no longer there a ghost remained, in a glowing mental collage. Entwined together whispering edicts of love passionate solemnity. Thoughts to keep me warm until we meet again tonight. #poem

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

Dispense all justice Find only humanity #hack all tyranny #haikufeels #prompt #poem

Must remember not to get in a debate with far right people. Its like fighting water. Futile and unintelligent.

Where ever love #dwells I am sure my heart will find It in abundance #haikufeels #prompt #poem

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...
