words, novice, bloom
with temperance, blunt,
on stems, of mind

I hear their whispers
in the dark night,
I feel their energy...
I listen carefully.
Who are they?
I don't even know myself,
I just listen...

#SalemVerse

A trinket in the hand
Solid piece of vaporous feeling
Permanence a dream
That dies with each telling

Faded hearts fated to drown
In sorrow meant to keep alive
Brash once this arrogance was
Darkly with ample splendour

Now only a husk remains
Bitter and craving blood

#SalemVerse

nights coppery,
silver of stardust,
profundity of nightmares, presaged,
blizzards ephemeral of solitude, cursed,
outbreaks exploited, insomnia

Against the
Window
I watch
The way that
Sunset beckons
Loving twilight
With jeweled
Opulence
Kissing
The moon
Gently, calmly
I surrender
My heart to
What I know
To be true
It’s always
Been you

(🎨 Mirela A)

As #old age pans out
in life #horizon
aesthetic layered
past stacked in #fragments
Gratifications never yield whole
Thus in #ritual ride
Roam in days of decay
into depth of labyrinth
quest #theme of finding soul

I will gather strength from the elements, be patient and control my anger.
If the guilty attack me,
they will experience my #wrath .
I won't have mercy
because they provoked for years.

Let them bleed out pain
Howling #zephyr chill the night
Roaming free as ghouls

Guardian in shadow
Chanting a sacrilegious summons
Of naked souls awakened by darkness.
Thaw thy fear, he rumbles
Make thyself dear, he mumbles
A whisper
Only to you who judges not the darkness-
By standards of a scorching sun

Thaw thy fear
Here, in the dark

Our emotions
Hung in the air
#Brittle as an
Empty wine glass
Bled dry

Sharp crystal edges
So ready to cut
Her critical eyes
Slicing through
Every vein
Of my pulsing lies

Exposed
My pale excuses
Laid bare
Truth bleeding
Cold razor wire
Cuts apart
Our hearts

#SalemVerse

To brood upon what could have been
And stomp on what may yet be
We dream
And wen dreams fail,
we dwell on nightmare
Yet it is decaying trees that glow by night
As nature’s fungi flocks to their woes
Luminescent
Turning villains
Into fairytales

… the persistent beep
the drone
his hope deep
will she 4ever sleep
love of life
she is
will vedma keep
her hand he holds
2gether
their darkness unfolds
her breath cessions
M heart pumps mechanical
his thoughts maniacal
will this be his last visitation
…desire

#SalemVerse

20 minutes after midnight
muses are here
I hear their whispers explode
daylight remains nothing
but fodder for dreams
warding off
the ominous sound
of November stream
mimic free fallen verses
burn the pages
that have forgotten
the poet's timeless scheme

#SalemVerse #vss365

kindled wishes
mirrored in your
watercolour eyes

Darkness wanders the canvas blue
risen by nature’s rowdy brew
she of jinx & blackened runes
lovely & as cunning as a siren’s tune

Darkness fell from stormy skies
now #seaborne on quicksilver thighs
deep into the ocean tasty stew
to nature’s enchantress he is subdued

#SalemVerse

We dreamt of nature
For nature was corrupted
We hunted its decay
To bring death to the rot
We embraced mythology
Where we’d find the roots of truth
We did this together
For the ethereal
Lingered only in love
And death!
