Love and beauty and
compassion: it’s in the air—
something has shifted

The nerves in his leg began to #sing. An impossible symphony of pain, played by the maestro in his spine to the crowd behind his eyes.
He breathed slow and deep.
With both hands he grasped his knee, moved his foot to the floor.
It would hold, or it would not.
He tried to stand.

🌷Someone said.."Love is a rumor"
She smiled, said..."Until you make it"
Perhaps..
She's an old soul..
With her own pearls

Nevertheless..
#Blossom may fly to different places
Her color of #Nature
In sparkling summer tunes
Doesn't die in snow white
Nor fall quickly in pieces🌷

I memorise the story of you
A lyric and a poem
I sleep awake within your arms
Nightly endless longing
.
My hands walk #blind across your skin
A soft kiss and a touch
And damned be me if ever I say
My love, this is enough.

Era of brinkmanship
Strait of Hormuz the trump card
Iran holds the Aces

Necks crane,
passersby look unconcerned,
just amused, horrified
maybe a mixture of both.
They watch the homeless man
being kicked, kicked again,
bleeding, bloodied, bruised.
They walk on,
less thank human,
less than animal.
Less.

The thunder roared on the clear starry night. The swell broke hard as the tide ran across the outer #banks
Cpt Chase grit his teeth. 'Navigator!' he barked.
'Its fucked, skip,' said the navigator standing next to him.
Chase stared at the water. 'Next break, full ahead.'
'Aye, skip'

Been here almost 2 years and this is the first time, iirc, that #vssdaily has gone several days without posting a prompt.

In fact, I don’t recall their ever missing a day before this week.

I hope the person behind this account is ok. Hoping they just went on vacation or something…

What would I do if
I were in Iran tonight?
I’d pray for compassion

The necronomicon, the Book of the Deaf
"deaf?!"
No. Dead.
- Deaf would be better
It's the Book of the Dead! It's.. like .. ancient & shit. Sumerian. From Egypt.
- Sumer is in Iraq but think, if you were deaf you couldn't hear the Call of Cthulhu

she rises on the helix of eternity
a haunting melody of the crane*
echoing on the duduk
a reed of apricot wood
not threatened by foes
hands of longing and love

Man means #hand
Mano a mano means hand to hand.
Manual means done by hand.
Manipulate means move by hand.
The prefix "man" is gender free.
You can be a queer gay trans fem, and still manually manipulate your sandwich to your mandibles ...

Chocolates and flowers
Spring time rewards for being good
I gift to myself

#Sand juice is what drives
All the wars since we're alive
..buy a hybrid car.

...

Pouring liquid #sand
From your wallet and your hand
You feed the death cult

... I know "two" is cheating, but I did it anyway .. call me the Strait of Hormuz and COME AT ME!!!!!

The #ring of ages in the bark of the tree
Sits silent and waiting to be severed and seen.
The fear of slicing the vein to bleed delays the hand from destiny.
To sieze the day that hand must be
The slice and cut so all can see
The rings of death
That follow thee.

But still, can't be beat
