with dance poems in your hair
breaths of moondust
surfing your lucent skin
a crimson kiss
so sweet
i blush
& as i hear your song
within my heart
you are my joy
my everything
& I'm falling
falling
hopelessly
beautifully
wonderously in love
with the essence
of your exquisite soul

Beautiful Autumn 🍂🧡💛🍂
"There is something so special in the early leaves drifting from the trees -as if we are all allowed a chance to peel, to refresh, to start again."
~ Ruth Ahmed
Wishing you all a wonderful Tuesday.

i never wanted
a knight in shining armour
nor a hero in a cape,
just you my love
just you,
with your wondrous aura
& those embracing arms
to lovingly envelop me
'neath moonlit skies,
a shielded eden
where my heart & soul
would forever feel safe.

Following on from yesterday, Marvellous Milo is sharing his 'Halloweeny Funnies' all this week in the lead up to 31st 🎃
Day 2...
Q: What do you call a wild dog that meditates?
A: Aware-Wolf!
🐺🤦🏻♀️🐶😉😆
Have a great Tuesday 💛
#MarvellousMilo#Funnies#Dogs
there was a time
when i felt my sad heart
would never encounter love
hazy days shielded
behind shadows of fear
but then i felt
my armour of doubt
slowly strip away
as flakes of hope surrounded me
~embracing~
in the luminosity of enchantment
all in the shape of you

Bob strokes the back of Nora's hand with his thumb in soothing circles. They stare at the old church with its leaded-glass windows. Besides peace of mind, peace of spirit can #travel into our hearts and settle there. He thinks that's what they're feeling.

Rory had to #travel to a cavern that Esme had cleared so long ago now that he could hardly remember the layout, which was fine because the map showed everything anyway.
Except, when they got there, he found the quest marker leading to a new section, reached through a hidden entrance.
#vss365
The brass had given Dylan a chance to prove his strategy. The Enemy had struck almost with impunity in the Olympia System, and he had to #travel there with the Charon to meet up with a test convoy and several other navy ships.
It has been a while since he had been there, almost going home.
#vss365
Ilyna checked her surroundings. There were ways out, if she was lucky, then she could just #travel elsewhere. It was a big world, apparently, and the Bridge so small when the Lord Protector wanted to find you.
“I have a proposal for someone with your talents …” He turned away. “… Ilyna.”

#vss365#Traveled to
Another realm
Beyond
My space and time
There
I met another “Me”
Who was
In quite a bind
He’s beset
By troubles
And travails
So worse than mine
I gave
My condolences
But when
I turned to leave…
I’m knocked out
Rat steals my life
Now he
Has all my cheese
#vss365#prompt#travel
Yesterday we played around with the various definitions of taper. Fabulous posts.
Now we need to take off and travel.
Inward, outward, metaphorically, and/or literally.
You decide.
Let's see where we'll go today.
Beautiful Autumn 🍂🧡💛🍂
"And the sunsets of Autumn- are they not gorgeous beyond description? More so than the brightest dreams of poetry?"
~ Charles Lanman
Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead.

To light the candle, that would set to burning the rope, that would lead to the escape of a colony of flesh-eating worms, that would devour the corpse and reveal the key to the door to escape, Rory had to find a #taper, even though Esme had a fire spell, right there.
He couldn’t find it.
#vss365
Changing tactics wasn’t some foolhardy, knee-jerk response to The Enemy, it was a necessary tactic. They had to change something, otherwise their resources, their ships, would #taper to nothing.
Dylan had to make a convincing case, but talking wasn’t among his most highly regarded skills.
#vss365
Van Gogh bent perspective to feeling—floors tilt, walls lean, skies rise and swirl. Space becomes emotion as structure gives way to the pulse of his inner world.

Where can we go with just one connecting #prompt line? Let's see how many different places we can discover from just one starting point!
Start your poem/vss with the opening line :
The streets are full of ghosts

Morning,
Marvellous Milo heard that it was just a week until Halloween, so he wants to share his 'Halloweeny Funnies' with you all! 🎃
Day 1...
Q: What can you catch from Vampires in the Winter?
A: Frost-Bite!
🐶🧛🏼🤦🏻♀️😉😆
#MarvellousMilo#Funnies#dogs
I'm amazed that so many of my plants have survived our crazy weather from the last 6 months. We've had 5 heatwaves, torrential storms, now nearing end of October & they are huge, & blooming in deeper autumnal colours 🌿🌺
Thought I'd share them to bring sunshine to your day🌼🥰
#nature#flowers#autumn
My health is not too good at the moment.
Unfortunately, you get no #training when it comes to living with Chronic Pain, you just have to navigate your journey, dig deep, become your own Warrior.
Sending strength, hope, & light, to anyone else struggling🙏🏼✨️
Back soon 💛
#vss365
Evening 🌟
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend 💜 Thought I'd share this old one of mine.
Don't forget to make a wish when you look up at starry skies ✨️
'Midnight sighs' 💛
My #poetry#poem ♡
Hope you're having a fab Sunday.
I love this memory of Buddy Boy (he went OTRB in 2022 🐾🌈). He loved this park so much. Leaping through autumnal leaves, chasing squirrels, having so much fun.
Miss this beautiful smile. I am so thankful for the memories.

I dreamed
That I woke up
And found every
Human dead
E’er one, extinct
Cuz we let
A.I. “eff” up
Our heads
We grew stupid,
#Calmed to zombies—
Then just
Petered out…
Each one
Dead of ennui,
As existence
Bowed to doubt…

When a squirrel runs into the kitchen, Nora immediately flattens herself against the wall. She tells Bob to stay #calm and handle it. She knows the tiny animal makes him nervous, but someone has to take charge and deal with the unexpected visitor. Bob freezes.
#vss365
The tension during the escape from the storm could have been laser-sliced, then came the elation as the Charon had received a boost of momentum upon leaving the storm’s grip, and now came the #calm and contemplation of how close they had come.
Dylan allowed it for a while, but not too long.
#vss365
Ilyna held her breathing in check, forcing herself to embrace the #calm, controlled breathing that was far better than not breathing at all.
She knew the guard pattern. People sometimes stopped their patrolling for various reasons. This was not out of the ordinary.
He soon moved on.
#vss365
there is a sad storm
swirling amid my soul
that bleeds a wary rain
of fear & uncertainty,
but your arms,
your embracing arms,
like an pure enigma
wrapped within starscape skies,
is the beautiful quiet calm
that restores light, love, & hope
into my hesitant heart.
#vss365#calm

within dusky dunes
on her sands of dreams
the siren waits for him
with a forlorn heart
'neath sorrowful skies
never giving up on hope
never giving up on him
her maritime prince
as waves serenade the shore
she sings his name
her lost love
her soulmate
as she waits for him

Bob and Nora hear that their favourite lunchroom is closing for the summer. The news sends a #quake through their routine. They are used to it always being open. Every Saturday, they enjoy an Italian panino of their choice. Now they must adjust and survive the summer.

The creature’s
Brobdingnagian—
His gait makes
Whole World #quake
Me holding
His fave
Plushy hostage
Was a big mistake
I try to
Give it back to him
Appeasement
Comes too late
His foot
Rises to crush me—
In slow motion
Comes my fate
