Everyone was surprised by the ease with which the old king ceded power until the new king’s investiture. All those months of refusing to wear the cloak of office had not been a symbolic gesture, but an elaborate ruse. As soon as the new ruler put it on, it became obvious: it was poisoned. #vss365
—But I don’t understand, our town is on top of a mountain.
—Think of how it will confuse archeologists in the future. A town called Undersea, at our elevation, with no scientific evidence to support that it was ever, in fact under the sea…

Thank you, Chris! 🙏❤️🎶💜
there is a moment
just before evening
when things lose their edges
cars soften into grey
voices into shapes
you into someone
you almost recognise
and you stay there
longer than you should
You’re most welcome, Jay!
Does it itch Lily ?
The scar,
Under the blackness
Of your tight jeans.
Remember the tear?
Inside a paraffin drop.
Good Job,
As you refused to stop.
Then his red flame,
Came from your back..
Brought our Father,
Out from under the sea.
Owl,
He couldn't leave the tree

To have joy one must share it. Happiness was born a twin.

Within the complex, they had built cottages and landscaped grassy hills. Artificial sunlight and rain helped food to grow. After the catastrophic disaster on the earth’s surface, most people had reached for the stars, but some went #undersea to create their new world #vss365
Crashing shores they came clawing down on me
Dragged me deep to the #undersea
I found my destiny hidden in the depths
A host of nothingness became my wonderment
The last traces of me glided up above
The air I no longer needed left forevermore

Goodbyes aren't easy,
Even under the sea.
Ruth,
Captain’s one and only
Legless maid
Begged him to stay,
His strokes, he couldn't
Get himself quickly to shore.
Ruthie toot, wrapped
Captain in an overboard
Barrel, stuffed with seaweed.
Finned woman,
Ruin a man’s land feet

she felt swept away
~drifting~
into the past
when yesterdays'
were brand new
& hope surfed
her wondrous waves of aspirations,
now all her tomorrows'
are left seeped in
whiskey drowned tears
as memories
achingly sink
& her once
vibrant dreams
plunge into
deepest undersea darkness.

The Rats of Rice Lane
Coming for overdue mayhem.
Rat and his devoted,
Rolling and singing
Back death and badblood,
Under the Mersey sea.
No tolls of poison tonight,
Mans locked up tight.
Rat will feast on more
Than their takeaways tonight

Bespoke vibes it is! 😄 My pleasure!
I have no doubt it will come back in time. Healing follows its own timeline, but you’re closer everyday. 🫂
Glad to know I give off the bespoke submarine party vibe. I’m choosing to take that as a compliment. 😆 I’ll keep you posted on the book, and I’ll write you a proper review when I finish, assuming I’m not stuck down in the Mariana Trench. 😄🤞🖤
Cold downpour batters
against the glass window,
forgotten memory leaks
through the cracks,
phantom puddles ripple
stirring the nostalgia,
tired spirits watch wistfully,
undersea currents draw
tides of melancholy.

My pleasure, Eileen! 🖤
Lovely, Ann!
The lines blur between
my dreams and reality
each time you kiss me.

Her lonely poems
somehow found his forlorn soul
ending two sorrows
#DailyHaikuPrompt #lonely
she is
an unlikely
happenstance
—a masterpiece
of Time, and Gravity,
and other silent forces

The #Undersea Exploration Society were down near the Mariana Trench, partying in their bespoke submarine and hoping to get a glimpse of Cthulhu. What they got was a screaming bloodbath when the winged squid god crushed the sub like a soda can. Those poor multimillionaires.

If this isn’t my typical Sunday, Zander, I don’t know what is. 😆 Minus the soda can squishing. Always love your writes! Speaking of Cthulhu…I’m loving it!!!
You’re so welcome, Kate! 🙏❤️🥰😊
