Living on the cusp Something new Something great The penumbra of success It allures me It eludes me Just as stars in night skies Twinkling back at me Though I never can reach #vss365 #penumbra #poetry #write #writingcommunity #booksky

These bones shake A cage carrying soul Tempting fate To come and take me whole Swallow me into that abyss Pressure me into coal Too much I've seen Too much I've felt All innocence all stole #poetry #write #writingcommunity #booksky

At times it becomes heavy The weight of the all The enormity of the every Balustrades beneath you collapse Wind screams past Aeolian tunes surround But there's beauty in this plummet If one looks around Your fellow fallen All en masse A sakura-fubuki of peril #vss365 #balustrade #poetry #write

Mirror's reflection My face an amalgamation Their voices inside me now Hated, unwanted Damnation echoed back Shadow became foe Bottle became friend I sang the family tune Still sunlight found me In that crack in the sidewalk Even thistles bloom #poetry #write #self #selfreflection #booksky

I pray you for a moment of time I pray that you will hear my rhyme A tale of woe and pestilence But not that of old testaments A story of this modern age Filled with this a modern rage A penance now that must be paid For foes we thought our fathers slayed #vss365 #pestilence #write #booksky
