I dare you
-
-
Damaged pride
Nothing’s more determined
-
What was the word?
Distracted by a trickster God
-
Distorted silhouettes
Made of wind, shade, and water
-
Speechless
I’d welcome that silence
-
Civil mercy
There is no honor on battlefields
-
The deep
The deep stared back at him
-
Where life calls
#vsspoem prompt for July 9th: Slumber
-
The youth you were
Where have they gone to slumber
-
So close to me
I hear you call, see you reach
-
Sadness beneath
They never noticed
-
Record the loudest
Of all the sides there are to truth
-
Bitter old man
With a sad smile I dismiss my cynicism
-
Like sticks and stones
#vsspoem prompt for July 8th, 2019: Scar
-
A mirror, broken
Only she could see the scars
-
Time scars
Time scars all wounds
-
Crowning of a journey
Left in the shadows of the barricades
-
It’s okay
You are in serious trouble
-
A gap in sanity
Just because they can’t be seen, does not mean they aren’t after me
-
Sticky kisses
Clouding the room with the stink of desperation
-
Come rest
I’m tired, worn and numb
-
Distant horizons
What you seek may already slumber
-
Blanket of sorrow
Wrap you in tenderness
-
In darkness they belong
#vsspoem prompt for July 7th, 2019: Belong
-
Lacks heart
I couldn’t tell you what I’m missing
-
Faded into silhouette
A bittersweet disconnected recollection
-
In storage
Beware those traveling through life without luggage
-
When it flairs
Her temper a fragile boundary not to be crossed
-
Thickest skin
The sting of hateful words
-
Mingled
Wearing my best smile
-
Slumbering demons
Afraid that part of me might leave
-
Dare to play
#vsspoem prompt for July 6th, 2019: Play
-
I’ll play the part
How was your day
-
Regret follows
It’s a lesson most learn young
-
What’s left behind
Some of these may yet shine
-
Under gloaming skies
A brighter tomorrow
