#vss365 #time in the stillness of fleeting moments we wander caught in the current of time— temporarily impermanent and still—and still— from skin to the heart a chorus of light floods the silence binding us in a timeless embrace #Poetry #Photograph by Jackie Jones @mookyshi91.bsky.social

The years and years of souvenirs, the memory’s lapse of time’s collapse,the remember whens and let’s pretends, postcards, fridge magnets, tea towel gems, pictures framed in paper lens, flowers pressed between poetry pages, the little reminders of love through the ages. #vss365

the #yearn for purpose, maintaining the façade they taught us... "so far gone was every grown-up heart," that the promises in youth by those knowing otherwise, were merely slow poisons to satiate, to propagate. they told us #time will tell, but didn't teach us how to listen... #vss365 #whistpr

My suitcase Is a portal To other Worlds And #times Don’t remember Buying it— It told me It was mine It’s ne’er been A carry-on, I wish… Then climb inside Last night I went to Borneo Today I’ll surf Sun’s tides It only works For dreamers Dull thoughts It can’t abide #vss365 #amwriting #Poetry

#vss365 #time If I could save time in a bottle It would be a very interesting bottle It would have an ever changing feel Its shape would vary every day There would be a sound to it But never the same And the hypnotizing colors Ah, that panorama ever-moving I would sit and watch that bottle Of you

#Time is like the grains of sand, in the Egg timer of life. At first they fall so slowly, almost unseen, unnoticed. Eventually racing, chasing, to the end, to the certainty, inevitably, finality of nothingness. #vss365

How can we distance ourselves from the harsh reality that gets ever closer #vss365 #micropoetry #distance

And the biggest lie The one that should not be told Is, "I'm here for you." #haiku #poetry #writing #authors

by the sea a stone hero stares back in time while a crow cracks jokes on their disgraced crown #TankaThursday (hero) #prompt

A World in Chaos Ruination Day The day after Distance waters Threads broken Promises broken Bonds broken Peacefulness lost Security lost Savings lost Democracy threatened Freedom threatened Tyranny won Frigid waters Chaos #resist #vss365 #poetry #poem

My Mother’s Last Months Her gaze turned toward Childhood Roller skating L.A. sidewalks Away from London bombings and her British accent Toward the sweetness of vanilla ice cream and California sunlight The #distance of the past so much closer in her sight Than the dwindling future #vss365

Through tangled throngs where shadows stray Chaos masks the light of day #Distance calls where silence clings Beneath the raven's midnight wings Thoughts unwind the stillness grows Truth revealed where darkness flows And in the void the spirit knows. *R🖤 #vss365 #poems #poetry #darkpoetry

she lit the lanterns on the porch he sat there in the courtyard admiring the brilliance she smiled gently acknowledging his presence they were friends before now there was #distance he was on a journey of penance it was all he ever wanted her incandescence essence ~rev #vss365 🎥 net

What #distance do I crawl, to pay for redemption, to thank you, for saving my life? Is the price for my life, worth selling my soul? If so, I'll die on the floor. Most things have value, like diamonds and gold, but my honour is priceless, and cannot be sold. #vss365

Rory could see the city in the #distance, but too many random encounters had stalled him on the way. He glared at the steady countdown of the timer in the corner of the screen. He could make it, but it would be risky. A jump from the waterfalls. A very dangerous move to attempt at any time. #vss365

I might just quit planet earth just slip away to somewhere new a place less noise pollution where every problem has a solution dreams are not so far off in the #distance where every child shows no resistance where the taxman never knocks on your door a place where less is more #vss365

#Distance meant nothing out here because those distances were usually so vast it was more relatable, understandable, to think in terms of time. Millions of kilometres? Millions of miles? Millions of millions. You could get lost in only the numbers and Dylan never thought much of it. #vss365

Don't cluster round me I'm no messiah no saviour keep your #distance don't invest your hopes and dreams in somebody who will never deliver Don't put me at the head of your revolution It will go nowhere #vss365

#writing #haiku #vss365 #micropoetry #俳句 #nexa Lava paints the land Within the borders of the self Dissolving to naught

Take me back To when your face Heated mine From a #distance Flames blew across seas Melding us like a new dawn Inking us into the swirls Of the cosmos Before the sky came Tumbling down upon us #vss365

There isn't any Castles in the air. There's no fire down below. What there is, is here and now. One life, many chances. Off you go. #poetry

Can we bounce back from all that is going on rational thinking being all stripped away idiots and fools running the show and sheep that follow them just haven’t a clue happy to indulge a fool #bounce #vss365

#vss365 "Let it all go" the voice intoned. And gravity shifted within me. The words echoed within, enervating every cell of me until I became air itself. The baggage of self lay below me, sleeping, as I drifted on astral plains. No longer weighted by the #luggage of the past. Only looking forward.

Matt Hancock used his personal email account to help a 'VIP' supplier win a £25 million PPE Covid contract The company, which supplied the NHS with tens of millions of pounds worth of completely unusable PPE, later went bust, owing taxpayers millions bylinetimes.com/2025/04/03/m...

Wild Roses gaily bloom, tho East winds blow, so frigid cool. Evening nears, winds cool some more. Boughs now lighter, Blossoms shed, #bounce and dance, swirl and twirl, on Sun dried floor. #vss365

Thread the eye of a needle pirouette on ice and snow everyone loves a drama one that lasts for days I can’t patch my clothes together Never invited to many social occasions I never know my final destination living in my own head #vss365 #thread

If I go away now Will you miss me I wonder! was it worth all the wait should have lingered enamoured by your laughter craving for the warmth steady trance implicit faith perhaps misread bitter sweet melancholy dangling by a #thread ~rev #vss365

Breakfast in America the conversation has lost it’s thread the dream turned sour with smell of money exploding electric cars with demon’s heads slap a load of taxes shop keepers dread around the world turn gold to lead #vss365 #thread

Choke, a silent gasp, Fluid fills where air should flow, Breath, fought for, stolen. 💧 💔 #WSS366 #Aspiration #DailyPrompt #Senryu #DarkHaiku #PoetrySky #MicroPoem

Is it normal for a law enforcement officer to post something like this

Closely inspecting the list of tariffs/countries posted by the White House, Trump did not put tariffs on Russia. Ukraine's tariff is 10%, the EU's is 20%, and every American ally is on the list. But not Russia.

Brexiteers: "Ha ha. Trump has just chopped off both of the EU's legs. He only chopped off one of ours. That's a Brexit benefit." #TrumpTarrifs

The rhythm of living ebbs and flows like ocean waves caressing the shore, or a hurricane destroying everything in its path. I'm finding my stride, my cadence of living is rythmic breathing soothing the pain of being human or a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon. #blueskyrelay #cadence

Shall we go to the Cafe in the market square? Drink Calvados and smoke French cigarettes. Or watch Black and White films, and cry at the ones that are sad. Or, do we do, what we normally do? Avoid each other and lead separate lives. What do we do, for the rest of our days. Just get by? #poetry

The threat itself, a Thread that led me to be dead, Finely woven dread. #vss365 #thread #haiku #poem #writing #writingcommunity

Take me apart #Thread by thread Be harsh if you wanna Still won’t dance to ya tune Is my song in my head I’m just made of stronger stuff Ropes bound by my soul Kinda rough But alot tough Is my song in my head Crafting & weaving My own wee ditty Thread by thread #vss365

implicit intricacies inexplicable irrefutable bound willingly like the wrists of a lover tethered inextricably like gravity and matter you pull on the thread and worlds shift beneath me i pull on the thread and feel the weight of every star that ever burned #vss365 #thread

That lovely woollen jumper Very chic Looks expensive And yet Like my life Could fall apart Simply by Pulling a #thread #vss365

I always walk Into rooms I have No business in When I walked in On The Fates Knew I’d Regret my sin I saw Clotho Twist my thread And felt my Life’s Daft spin And as Lachesis measured Life flashed Tween bright & grim Atropos Snicks her scissors… I do not like Her grin #vss365

#vssdaily #inkMine #vss365 despite distances the thought of you overflows my senses with bliss I count the steps between us— the miles of pavement fields and fog your absence a #flame... persistent as the fading dusk a #thread that binds us— where I am lost in the beautiful #chaos of you

All my clothes are made with golden thread my meals are are filled with home-made bread my shoes march over frozen rivers I feed off all that this life delivers #thread #vss365
