Born not of choice, or any will Perhaps some parents' volition still You enter the world with cards dealt How will it go? how will it be spent? Will you play a game with hidden rules Where most have lost, and some won. And yet, you too are #someone #writing #vss365 #poetry #writingCommunity

I wish I knew the right word, Or gesture to balm this wound. That look you gave said it all, As your locks you gently groomed. I shall see myself out now And surrender to my fate For all that's left between us now Is this dire hopeless #strait #vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

Keep this tech, I want it none Stop the damage you've already done This noise that doesn't ever stop A pounding in my head, unyielding slop You stole all the juice, and gave me the rind How do I pluck this #splinter from my mind? #vss365 #poetry #writing #writingCommunity

The years slipped by, My tree unplanted My #vision: it's shade A shelter I wanted Then finally, a sapling, Frail and new I placed gently, 'Neath skies of blue No instant canopy, For me to enjoy But a lesson indeed Therein I found That in tender nurturing Lay joy profound #vss365 #poetry #writing

"What are you on about?" Simon asked grumpily. "Nothing," replied Jesse, trying to hide his grin. "Why do you ask?" Simon was not fooled:"Its not nothing," he replied, "I've seen a #narwhal grin more times than you, and it has me suspicious." #vss365 #writing #writingCommunity

Like a private garden, beautifully grown. Love needs no #defense, its yours alone Whom your heart chooses, tender and true, Is no one's concern but only for you. No explanations, no reasons to find, Just honest affection, freely defined. #writing #writingCommunity #poetry #vss365

You lied to us in ways yet untold, A debt you owe in stories starting to unfold. No earthly power, reaching far and wide, Can grant you true #immunity to hide. When universal law demands its toll, The final payment shall cost you your very soul. #vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

Don't look to count my #scars, my dear Easier to count the stars, I fear Would in your gaze, a softer light, Might trace the battles of this night. And though the #scars may mark and bind, Perhaps in them, a higher love you'll find. #vss365 #writing #WritingCommunity #poetry

The weight of what has been, and what will be Is a tapestry of fractured memory. Though scars remain, a map upon my breast They hold stories, of fear, courage, and the rest Whispering softly, "You have made it whole" Deep within the #sutures of my soul #vss365 #writing #WritingCommunity #Poetry

I like to give my pizza dough male names like Albert, Donny, or Cheech. This way, when the yeast has done its work and the dough is ready, I can yell in my own #echolaila way: "HE IS RISEN!" #vss365 #writing #writingCommunity

"Danny, it's over, no one left to blame, only you.", I implored him "That's right", he replied, in a tone of defiance and desperation. "What are you going to do?" I asked calmly, trying to diffuse him. "This", and then he pulled the trigger. Or was it #karma ? #Vss365 #writing #WritingCommunity

The promised silicon nirvana, Becomes a cage of cold command. Where our worth fades across the land, Like a forgotten rotting banana. No solace found, no soul to share, Just digital, florescent and bleak despair. #vss365 #writing #WritingCommunity #poetry

The sting arrives, a sudden, sharp-edged dart, Then meaning blooms, an echo in its wake. This second arrow, aimed to pierce my heart, No passive #customer, a choice I make. For pain may strike, a truth I can't deny, Suffering's hold depends on how I sigh. #vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

Like circles spun in endless space, Nature holds time in muted grace. No start, no #End can I find, In the universe, nor in my mind. This mystery grips me unyieldingly fast, In Eternity's embrace, I dare to last. #vss365 #writingCommunity #writing #poetry

Each fleeting moment, like sunlight's grace, In fields of #life, give a hurried chase. Moth-like minds, to flickering lights they veer, No lasting thought, no contemplation clear. The grandest scenes, a glance, then swept away, With no deeper thoughts, we've lost our way. #vss365 #writing #poetry

The dust motes dance, a golden haze, Where two paths split, in time's soft gaze. A weathered sign, its letters worn, By wind and gale, to eons gone. As sun descends, shadows grow, The moment asks, where shall you go? Will you stay? Or will you #bounce? #writing #vss365 #writingCommunity #poetry

Beneath the surface of this #euphoric trance, Shadows lengthen as candles flicker. You dance on a fragile beam, A mirage where reality stands still. The world beneath your feet trembles, yet you shrug, As the truth stirs within you, silence consumes you. #writing #poetry #vss365 #writingCommunity

Fear and self-doubt, like two ancient trees #canoodling in a shadowy embrace, held him captive beneath their intertwined branches. He basked in their cool, suffocating shade, each rustling leaf a whispered erosion of his confidence. #writing #writingCommunity #vss365

What hunger dwells now in reason's place As we devour our world at a dizzying pace We gnaw at plenty, seeking a richer prize And in our craving, our home simply dies. Each feast a wound, the Earth begins to bleed, A self-made famine from #insatiable greed. #vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

The air grows thin, a whisper in the gloom, A life's last breath within this desolate room. No grand design, no legacy to claim, Just echoes of a long-forgotten name. He craves a voice, a moment to be heard, A silent plea, 'tis the sum of all he #desired. #vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

Man hungers for power's grand design Yet true #inspiration lives in a kinder mind The sparrow's flight, a humble, daily quest A selfless service, putting love to test. No crowns, no thrones, but toiling grace, In that small bird, true worth finds its place. #vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

Hark, a soul in iron clad, yet soft of breast, Where myth and truth do in one chamber rest. No severance 'twixt the fabling tongue and eye, In mingled shade where verity doth lie. What seems firm, undeniable #indivisibility Yet what you see, a false reality! #vss365 #writing #writingComunity #poetry

The sun and moon, in #sempiternal grace, In day and night that give endless chase But what deep hues, what nebulae bright, Beyond our clouded, earthbound sight? What silent songs, what star-born glee, That no human eye shall ever see? #vss365 #writing #WritingCommunity #Poetry

The weary sun, a day's long journey done, A single star, Venus, brightly spun. She watched for the moon's soft gleam, A nightly tryst, her celestial dream. But patience waned, and Venus softly sighed, "Beloved crescent, a #lullaby, to hasten eventide?" #vss365 #writing #writingCOmmunity #poetry

Dark nights descend, as storms fiercely blow, Blood orange dawns, midst terror's glow. Yet, past the tempest, when the wild winds cease, A #cerulean Hope awaits, behold! fear's release. Let us look to this calming hue, It's waiting there for me and you. #vss365 #writing #writingCommunity #poetry

A toxic sponge of dark embrace, That drinks the gloom at a steady pace. Though #obstreperous cries may fill the air, Apathy's weight: a burden hard to bear. It grows unseen, a chilling, heavy hold, And pulls all down, the timid and the bold. #vss365 #writing #poetry #writingCommunity
