#Vss365 often #conspires to sell a story

time’s fell hand sometimes the best comedy is just star-crossed lovers mistaken for dead, and a girl left to wander. a year ago today, my calendar reminds me in earnest: he left. i collapsed on the sidewalk. set on repeat. time itself conspiring against me. as if heartbreak were a holiday.

A cat #conspires with another,
Who in turn goes to the third,
And before we know it
They've taken over the world.

Or maybe,
They'd rather
Just take
A nap 🤔

The heart,
o how she #conspires
with memory to
turn us from the
possibilities of the future
to the idyllic
and oft illusionary
comforts of the past

"Who else #conspires against the Tyrant?"

"Aside from us? You'd better not know. In case... In case. But we're legion."

stare into darkness
my brain #conspires with my heart
stealing sleep from me

Evil has its ways
So does love
Hate attacks
With splinters of rage
Care heals
Kindness dries tears
In the span of eternity
the sun recharges the stars
Which comfort the asleep
during the sun’s absence
After dark there’s light
Lessons are mistakes
Time #conspires all

childhood fears with head #conspires
to abandon our heart's desires
safety found and lost again
tempts return to a once best friend

is familiarity the greatest need?
shall I stop watering the seed
of want, passion, a love that lasts
time to finally let go of the past

(Note: I've invented Mel, although he might well exist.)

A #conspiracy theorist named Mel
Loved inventing fake news he could sell.
He destroyed people's lives:
Children, husbands and wives.
So I'm pleased to report he's in hell.

Essie Aguilar had a lot of #practice as a teacher. But she had un todo familia que #conspires to put her back to work right away! She just got here to La Norman! Who was she to go to the Temple de los Indios with her commas y su la curandera ways? No soy doctora. Soy maestra.

'Nobody #conspires against you, Pixie. The world is not out to get you. And I certainly am not a mean curmudgeon.'
Sob.
'You'll survive. I know you don't find it easy, Pixie, but you're just going to have to be patient. Eventually the shop will restock with brownies.'

Give me love,
bursts of laughter,
where nature #conspires
to shape the hereafter.

Slow tunes hum,
open hearts,
soft hands,
horses and carts.

Millennials in tow,
baking walnut tarts,
no room for
rigid ol’ farts.

The old ways need to go.

My least favorite part of me conspires
The exiled piece is plotting
Doesn’t require further banishment
Simply needs safety
Not to be forgotten and alone
Wouldn’t we all be a little testy
Alone in the darkest parts of me

Tireless, the force that
Conspires against us, it's name
Is Hate, Fifth Horseman.

She #conspires in the night
All the places she could take flight
Be it the stony roof
Or be it by hoof
She knows she will get out of sight

#vss365 #limerick #poetry #poem #micropoetry #writing

happy places burning
reality #conspires to unravel
the delicate tapestry
draped over divergent eyes
gold-threaded lies
woven thru smoke & mirrors
strangling our truth
as we stare defiantly
into our bloodshot eyes
and snort the #myth
that keeps us warm at night

"My dear," Longrass coughed. "Mice often wear waistcoats for the pockets. Very useful for one's timepiece."

"Goodness!" The studious woman sat down before she fell down. "A talking mouse! Here, in Middlemarch! Our author #conspires against us. Tell me, sir, that this is but a dream?"

been #cut
by every #season;
heart left bleeding
like runaway legs
on summer wine.

fallen
without reason.
weathered
relentless winters;
bitter nights
that died on a vine.

unfrozen,
but felled from being.
cuts splinter;
nature #conspires
composing new beats
that spring to mind.

#CONSPIRE

The conspiracy elves
keep to themselves,
biding their time
up our sleeves,
but by night they creep
in our ears as we sleep
and tell us all
what to believe.

The wind #conspires with
Winter, stealing Autumn's reign
Leaves gone in a day.

Death and failure
blight my thoughts
and emotions.
Paranoia convinces my id,
and #conspires with weakness
to distort my sense of mortality.
Where have all the good times gone?
I smile through tears,
but life will be, will be.
Who was Doris Day??

Anxiety
talk myself into it easy
can't bounce out of it, though
Modern day triggers
most live on our devices
the rest
live in our heads
Emotional brain #conspires > logical brain
neurons fire excitedly
emotions emerge supreme
So, close down the news
it's all bad
God, are you up there?

I stayed too long,
like in the #myth
of Odysseus and
that narcotic #lotus,
a dream-like reverie
of strolling through
a pleasant #valley,
then awaking to the
wild & tangled reality—
where truth #conspires
against me.
Your #earnest facade
falling—
in truth, you were
my unravelling
all along.

How much comfort has the old woman bought with her toil and her eventual peace? Alone, content to weave tapestries of past deeds and tend her garden of ruby tears, which has outgrown every bed and trellis, she smokes her pipe and #conspires with her past lives to sing the poetry of crows.

Good morning writers, poets and vagabonds of words

~Silence #conspires with the soul
