Once upon a time A man told me To stay in my lane To know my #place Silly boy #vss365. #noir

Let’s sit beneath The willow tree Hidden from view Of the reach of #Death On a long summers day I wish I pray Though his knock is certain Someday someday In the meantime May the branches of willow Grow longer and longer Shading away our sorrow #vss365

#Death becomes her. #vss365

The #luggage carousel sat silent at 3am as the hundred plus passengers stood waiting. The strange mix of fatigue, annoyance, and excitement permeating the air was found only here. After 14hrs we were free from cattle class. Sometimes known as a economy, the true cost was borne by my soul. #vss365

“Too much #luggage, too much luggage...” “You’re not making sense. What do you mean?” “That’s a lot of luggage.” “Are you going to travel?” “No. I’m not going anywhere. I have too much luggage to want to start a new path.” “It’s never too late...” “That’s a lie. I have too much luggage.” #vss365

‘You’re nothing but baggage.” She whispered “A lot to lug around.” She murmured “Time for you to go” She sighed “#Luggage I won’t carry anymore.” She took her journal Burned it New day New life #vss365

My memories of him Are soft Furry Fuzzy He was never the real deal #Velveteen Not velvet Burlap rough Not linen worn It was lust Not love We were young Not old #vss365

Oysters increase desire She said Delicately spooning The #mignonette sauce Into the shallow shell The man tipped his head Mouth open And kissed her hard Yes, it’s true He said #vss365

Who doesn’t love A good #canoodle In the dark Arms entwined Scorching heat Regrets Follow the morning light #vss365

A hunger fierce #Insatiable Unsuitable For a lady such as herself Unstoppable Voracious. #vss365

imagine being accidentally added to a second, slightly smaller group chat where they're talking about how to handle this scandal

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are closing Social Security offices, firing the workers, and even shutting down the phone lines. Today I pressed Trump's Social Security nominee if missing checks are just another way to cut benefits. He didn't know... Well I do — I'm voting NO.

US added to the global human rights watchlist due to declining civil liberties.

Surveying the scene The man sprawled at her feet She turned to her sister And said, “What was your #inspiration?” “Why you, dear sister!” They linked arms And left him Where they’d found him #vss365

Caught between Leaden and #cerulean The sky swayed #Interregnum Indecision Rain Storm Blue Breezes Trees Dance March Madness #vss365

My optician says I have #myopic vision and I’ll need glasses for driving. Ugh. No way am I doing that! My friends say it’s short-sighted of me, but I just can’t see it… #vss365

Mist in my eyes #Myopic moment Can’t see your face Wind in my ears Can’t hear your voice Far away Can’t feel your touch Solace in solitude Meow #vss365

Words no one ever says out loud: Disconsolate Obstreperous Garrulous Extirpate #Vss365 #obstreperous

“Inter ‘im?” she shrieked “He ain’t even dead yet!” #vss365 #interim

His body lay Stone Cold Dead A smudged chalkmark On the sidewalk My hat pulled low I stood on the #fringe Watched Smiled He had it coming And we gave it to him #vss365 #noir

She was pure bred An Uptown Doll I was no #thoroughbred A Downtown Nobody But we made sparks That started a fire Out of control Never was going to end well But end it did With a bang #vss365 #noir

A saucy lady No modesty, wanton #Petulant, petty and pretty My mantra Every morning In the mirror #vss365 #noir

“Woudja’ take a look at dis’place? It’s a real dump, I tell ya’. I sure hope you don’t think a lady like Me is gonna stay with a bum like you?” #vss365 #displace #noir

Oh, the #Liberation! That was promised Then snatched Read restricted Health restricted Learning restricted Science restricted But you will not Restrict my will Or their dreams. #vss365

“No connection to controls” the screen said. There’s no way they would… *crashing* “Mayday this is SET 1. We need serious repair up here. The crew used the only working escape pod and now this #rocket is pointed straight at the sun!” The screen blinked “Yes Elon. Enjoy the ride.” #vss365

Faster than #rockets From nought to sixty, the steps Of a hungry cat #vss365 #haiku

Mother stole my man Said I wasn’t good enough I let my temper get the best of me My mouth went off like a #rocket Telling her all the things I did Behind her back I told her to keep him Mom left. My guy left Some victory for me. #vss365

Here's my offering for the theme of #conjure - thanks go to our #vss365 host, Rachel @pure_writing The painting ‘The Priestess of Delphi’ 1891 is by British artist John Collier (1850-1935). An adyton is a small chamber either beneath or to the side of the temple. #vsspoem #poet #poetrycommunity

Waiting Watching People with suitcases Some eager to enter Others queuing to leave Lost in the #sonder Of these lives I contemplate Getting in the cab with a stranger Jumping into their life Maybe for a minute Maybe longer #vss365

It was not her place to #conjure up work. They gave her the job. She accepted. He lay on her massage table smiling As she gently slid the #needle into his neck His smile about to #congeal with rictus Took a photo for the boss. Her work was done. #vss365. #1Q84

Sun my mouth is flush to the window you’re getting in my eyes again #vss365

#vss365 automatic flush always in a rush kawoosh, it goes though heaven knows you barely bared your tush #flush

At first #blush He was the perfect man for me It didn’t take long for the blush To turn to slush And for me to Flush that man right outta my hair #vss365 Not Quite #Noir

Slipping an #unctuous bite of mushroom pasta between his willing lips, watching him sigh with happiness, she reveled in the power of her good cooking. Of course, it was an accident she confused webcap with chanterelles. Of course, it was. #vss365 #noir

#vss365 #lace

Two cups of hot bitter coffee Set on the table before us A faint scent of almond in the air A new aftershave I ask? As I #lace his second cup With a teeny bit of cyanide I told him to cut down on his coffee But he never listens #vss365. #noir

#Pucker up sweetheart. No more teasing” “You don’t deserve me. I wasn’t teasing you and I am certainly not pleasing you.” He smacked her hard across the face & planted a kiss on her lips. He saw the scissors she planted his back a moment too late. #vss365 #noir
