Feel its weight drop away
-
-
A blind eye
The cost we paid for liberty
-
Never been free
Freedom and independence are worth celebrating
-
Thick dark lines
Boundless imagination
-
Feed his flames
It was no use to try and stop him
-
Starting fires
The art of starting fires
-
Bare a grin
Starlight in our eyes, makes the world seem golden
-
Defies all answers
Learn to trust in yourself
-
Time persists
#vsspoem prompt for July 3rd, 2019: Persist
-
I’ll be waiting
Some flee towards my open arms
-
Everything you are
Yeah, that’s me
-
Grooves of my heart
Expecting a different song from the same worn record
-
Less than ever
Gone was the smile
-
Words fail me
Numbed by pain too strong to comprehend
-
Lazy days
#vsspoem prompt for July 2nd, 2019: Lazy
-
In strength and frailty
Behind a knowing smile
-
Upon entering
She could silence a room
-
The selfish I
Our race, a problem child
-
A world of gray
Glitter, sparkle, wonder
-
Like a cyclone
Your blatant lie
-
The darker trails ahead
Committed to the destination
-
I’m done chasing
I’ll be here, being myself
-
Great fortune
No great fortune will ever be material
-
Wrongfully committed
Misunderstood
-
Fortune smiled
Sad, full of pity
-
Verities in love
The heart is a fickle thing
-
Fronting as life
Wasting our numbered days wandering the maze
-
Susceptible to whim
On days less lucid
-
Battle worn
In time we’ll heal to ride again
-
Hungry heart
It may consume us
-
Reshape reality
I can slumber lazily
-
I can dream
I’d never dare, I’m not brave
-
The rhythm of life
Poetry isn’t rhyming
-
Fifty months of war
#vsspoem prompt for June 30th, 2019: War
-
Lacking the cipher
This lost moment of intoxicated clarity
-
We becomes they
Humanity shares moments of greatness
