David was #harried. Who wouldn't be? He put away the shovel and went to bed. He buried himself in the down comforter, smiling as he got warmer. A thought flashed: "I should clean the blood off of the shovel." and then, "Nah, fuck it."

Beneath the gray #ash.
Embers rest unstoked
Beyond the misty cliffs
We await a new rising sun
For as long as one draws breath
More work remains to be done.
#writing#poetry#writingCommunity #vss365
I can lend you my ear,
My heart and a tear
What more is there to share?
Other than showing I care
would there be a purer #altruism?
Than sharing the same fate
With you, my death-row prison cell mate.
#vss365#writing#writingCommunity #poetry
What if today is the day?
What if today you finally did it?
What would it be like?
Would there be #affinity? or aversion?
What if today, at long last,
With a sincere heart you did it.
What if today you finally met yourself?

The light gets low, the hour gets late
Each tick of the clock a hammer fall
Here at the end we face our fate
The darkness and the shameless hate
The #bulwark is our humanity,
Our brotherhood, our #amity#vss365#writing#writingCommunity #Poetry
Was I #aware
Of that fallen leaf?
A parting gift
From the tree of grief
Mired deep in my own sorrow
No time to mull
The dawning morrow
Had I but a chance to see
Behind each fallen leaf
Was a bud awaiting
To proffer verdant relief
#vss365#writing#writingCommunity #poetry
What cries echo in unholy night
When pain silenced, we start to feel
Lines crossed so far unnoticed
Become cuts no salve can heal
Here begins a great stirring
New banners now unfurling
Thus awoken, masses clamor
Unstoppable revolutionary #ardour#vss365#writing#writingCommunity
That sound from an #apple falling
Like sighs from a mother fawning
That echoes into the future vast
Reflections of generations past
Who know what the tree thinks?
Easier to count the apples in the tree
Than to know the trees in a seed.
#vss365#writing#writingCommunity #Poetry
Do they stars know they are seen?
Does the breeze know it is missed?
Do waves crash to our ears alone?
Could the sun know it birthed life on this stone?
Does #sugar know it is sweet?
Does sweetness exist in our mind alone?
#vss365#writing#writingCommunity #poetry
What embers deep within,
You stoke to make them burn?
What desire unfulfilled,
Forces you to turn?
Towards that uphill climb,
One small step at a time
What precious, untainted virtue
Drives you to still #continue?
#vss365#writingCommunity #writing#poetry
What fresh hell is wrought each day
From his endless Mumbo #Jumbo
His train of thought derailed for all time
Every word a curse, every sentence a whine
Will history recall a nation half blind
And the other half lost its mind.
#vss365#writing#writingCommunity #Poetry
I sat gazing
At my cup of #tea
The aroma infused
Every part of me
But I dared not sip
From that sacred chalice
Till she arrives to fulfill her promise
And now it, too, waits.
As ages pass,
This cup: my only solace.

"I have a list," Raj replied.
"What kind?" Sri asked.
"A list of people I want to kill or harm," Raj continued, "and I alter it based on mood. It helps me cope with life. Don't worry, I'll never act on it; think of it as #tsundoku for corpses".
#vss365#writing#writingCommunity
That leech, #amorous
For my blood
That knave, troublesome
Sulking in the dark corner
Spinning a yarn,
With shards
Of painful truths
What quiet can one desire
Drink me dry, or spare me
Of making choices, I tire.
#vss365#writing#writingCommunity #poetry
He stood there motionless, with tired but immovable eyes and nostrils that flared and blew mist. I could smell the stench of his prey on his breath, and despite the crippling fear, I sensed the #raidance of his soul. This bear could kill me.

The storm was over, but that vaunted #azure sky was nowhere to be seen. The marmalade deep red of the setting sun was all-encompassing, and for Jace, the day didn't turn out the way he wanted.
#vss365#writingCommunity #writing
His path to the throne
Is paved with lies
His character has shown
A contempt for our lives
His moral fabric is sown
With a #pejorative lisle

Jon wrote feverishly into the night, inspired by the day's events and driven by the urgent nature of his dilemma. Dawn was breaking, and the first rays of the day illuminated the pine bust of Aristotle on the bookshelf: his unblinking #sentinel#vss365#writing#writingCommunity
She vomited the seawater in a violent lurch, her chest and throat stung with the coarse sand she had swallowed. Mustering all her strength, she pushed herself back on her knees and looked around. "This is an #entangled mess," she mumbled.
