take a step up to the edge this world below so filled with dread but this time I choose to leap 'cause #maybe now my wings will keep rising high I strike on out onwards ever no future doubt #vss365 #poem #poetry #vsspoem

barbed they are tongues and words to cut and rend at more then flesh why #fence we when so alike souls unarmored flimsy foils bled by blade still thy anger before you slay what you can't live without #vss365 #poetry #poem #vsspoem

tell me a tale of days gone by wherein lies the lie of people brave who drive the blade through hearts no longer cold written down on paper brown by #chronicler strange and true who out there sits in mud and grit ne'er more the world to see #vss365 #poem #poetry #vsspoem

it's never quite a walk or a stumble down this garden path instead, I #amble through plots of poison and romance hearts to chrysanthemum crimes and fantasy fancies these and more grow in the ground fed by imagination and the words not yet spoken #vss365 #poetry #poem #vsspoem

between these pages lie our worlds filled beyond compare with heroes flawed who do what must no matter what the cost and villains mad their henchmen bad a plot undone by dawn so #scurry off hot drink in hand to read our tales this morn #vss365 #poetry #poem #vsspoem

feel them blow these #withering winds of change upon our lands across the fields from which we wade through problems of our hands we long for hope of transformed faults without the work it needs #vss365 #poem #poetry #vsspoem

we thought it couldn't happen not to us not to those who were aware of what was out there but still we #fell down the rabbit hole lost within the spaces we thought we were better than #vss365 #poetry #poem #vsspoem

perfection or the closest to it right after the rains when the earth is fresh and wraps its scent all around us beneath sun #dappled leaves there's just something so magical in that quiet calm do you want to experience it with me? #vss365 #poem #poetry #vsspoem

they're all so #picturesque those sleepy towns hiding secrets buried deep you'd never know even living there among the cults and yule kings but don't despair for very soon it'll be your time won't that be lovely? #vss365 #poetry #poem #vsspoem

if this is all there is if this chaos is what's important why all the #kerfuffle? it feels like we're so worried about so little forgetting the things we should care about like each other nature's bounty and those moments we can never get back #vss365 #poetry #poem #vsspoem

sun set on river run and here I sit and stare blank eyed unseeing into the past and theoretical future #wistful for things that weren't and things that might be pondering if my opinion matters #vss365 #poem #poetry #vsspoem

beyond the horizon it calls drawing me onward ever onward towards... what? I don't know but that's the #allure of the unknown it could be anything it could be everything #vss365 #poetry #poem #vsspoem

don't put it there in full view for everyone to see even if it does deserve to be displayed just don't because the moment you do someone something will come #smashing through and all you'll be left with are splinters #vss365 #poetry #poem #vsspoem

up get up no matter what this is the time to be more than they believed you to be it's time to grab those opportunities by the #scruff and not let any of them go #vss365 #poetry #poem #vsspoem

cracks divots a spiderweb all of that and more on the ceiling how do I know? because I stare at them in the moonlight when I should be sleeping but my brain won't let me since all it wants to do is go round and round about little things refusing to #switch off #vss365 #poetry

too many questions not enough answers it's a search I'm ill prepared for but that's what happens when you #boycott the rational in favour of chaos divine throwing yourself to the whims and seeing where they take you #vss365 #poem #poetry #vsspoem

to and fro we go never stopping to think or question why we do it this constant #traffic of desolate souls from birth to school to work to retirement to death stuck in the same flow never choosing to take the exit because what else is there maybe that is the real question #vss365
