Hey #DavidsMonthOfMusic peeps. Yes yes, it's me. Let's not all get too excited. It's a new account so RTs would be appreciated and I know it's a few days late but you can catch up if you like. So here are the challenges for October. Have fun and be good to each other 🖤

those moments that only know timelessness those moments of subtle entwinings and those moments that sear memory to new wounds those moments of devastating estrangement maybe that's why a start is so hard to recall but an end is so fucking hard to forget #vss365 #start

Day 27 Relating to night Counting Crows - Goodnight Elisabeth youtu.be/gb6wCABym2o?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

Had fun with a haibun yesterday so thought I'd have a go at another one...

Monochrome Monday 🖤🤍

travel my veins on the grace of your name in those secret and sacred essences the blueprint of a soul coveted by those designed to know it as home #vss365 #travel

Day 26 Relating to morning Stabbing Westward - Waking Up Beside You youtu.be/u7gK8wxEckk?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

#PoetsOfDoom @daveashleypoet.bsky.social

as the taper from flame to flame verse plays the conduit between soul and soul #vss365 #taper

Day 25 A song you love but is/was overplayed R.E.M. - Losing My Religion youtu.be/xwtdhWltSIg?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

miles of proximity distances crossed in dreamscapes the impossibility of your touch i should weep but i find myself reaching for you once more #vss365 #miles

Day 24 With an emotion in the title Soul Asylum - Misery youtu.be/GLQ2TIul8pI?is… #DavidsMonthOfMusic

does my uncertainty render me insubstantial my life is #doubt confidence and optimism vague shades obscure acquaintances never friends so i chose my words carefully drown in silence lost to apathy run through by scorn but occasionally there is a light a fool's hope but always you #vss365

Day 23 By a supergroup The Highwaymen - Highwayman youtu.be/aFkcAH-m9W0?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

Ruin a song by adding "In My Pants" to the title. I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That In My Pants)

drift to you... bend in time... exquisite edge... #Amatory

Tali'Zorah Vas Normandy 💜

do i commend your #commitment to this gossamer fantasy or am i simply haunting myself with impossibilities whilst you either doubt or are completely unaware that you were my muse that those eyes and lips were yours that i am utterly smitten with you #vss365

Built a bookcase today. I'm not a very manly man but I do bloody love an allen key.

Day 22 A No.1 single Shakespears Sister - Stay youtu.be/YCYaALgW80c?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

Don't squeeze me too tight. Full of food.

again there you are fueling my dreamsthoughtsreveriesfantasies with longingdesireneedirreverence possibly (probably) inadvertently am i reading too much into nothing am i oblivious to everything it's just you're there and i'm burning again #vss365 #fueling

Day 21 A song from 40 years ago Doctor & The Medics - Spirit In The Sky youtu.be/2-7GqDJPlnE?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

Night night tiny people that live in my phone Sleep well and sweet dreams when you get there, til then be good to yourselves and each other 🖤 See you on the other side 😴

#NowWatching Pandemonium (2023)

oh coveted one what if this thirst that you arouse in me can only be quenched by your kiss #UnchainedSymphonies

i want you to like me to think of me fondly to see a better me than i ever can to think i'm funny and interesting and cool and nowhere near as lame as any of that sounded i want you to think i'm pretty i want to grace your dreams you make me #nervous because you're you and i'm just me #vss365

The Crow

woke up thinking about you tried to think of a way to tell you cursed the wordlessness that plagues me thought of you some more

Day 20 A song from 30 years ago Tool - Pushit youtu.be/GGm72iNBF8E?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

a truth undeniable in dream in waking reverie in verse in desire you persist #UnchainedSymphonies

Monochrome Monday 🖤🤍

asking luna to still the tides is just as futile as me training my instincts not to need you #vss365 #training

Day 19 A song from 20 years ago Cult of Luna - And With Her Came The Birds youtu.be/fz90IMeJ-cc?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

i will always strive to find words to stir you all you need to do is let me know you want to feel them

Lay with my soul for a while?

soft release... time pulls... against the abyss... #Amatory

should such a thought fill me with the feelings it does something so simple yet suggestive your #sneakers strewn on my bedroom floor one upright its mate on its side laces a tangled chaos indicative of their urgent undoing just as i am undone becoming entwined with you #vss365

Day 18 A song from 10 years ago Opeth - Will O The Wisp youtu.be/Kfpnwk-DXrA?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

every intimate incline i envision every contour of you becomes horizon in reverie kissing your outline whenever i close my eyes #UnchainedSymphonies

at one time it felt a lottery each verse a ticket to only hope then i felt some certainty ethereal faith held dear now is it even me anymore or ever in the stretching shade of doubt i dwell is it even me anymore #vss365 #lottery

Day 17 A song from 5 years ago Poppy - Her youtu.be/x_KB4KFPxss?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

waiting upon the unexpected with the hope of a fool maybe today will be the day maybe this will be the verse i've held my breath for so long that i've died a thousand times just for your eyes to meet mine and never look away #vss365 #unexpected

Day 16 A song with a music video you love Ghost - Umbra youtu.be/0RkJrO4kvHU?... #DavidsMonthOfMusic

smitten.

youtu.be/6Mx5gy-AvuY?...

could i borrow your heart just for a moment or a lifetime or eternity i need to kiss it deeper than it's ever been kissed devour it wholly like you never dared dream i am vampire when your name teases my lips breathing timelessness that nameless essence #UnchainedSymphonies
