I watched you dance
beneath the golden light.
Your hair flowing,
your steps happy and bright.

You never saw me leave.
My ship lay docked
in the #harbour's glow.

The band began our song,
and as the bagpipes chimed,
I slipped my moorings
and sailed deftly into the night.

Ilyna didn’t #harbour any illusions about hitting that big score that could fund her enough to leave the life, to leave Tarkar’s Bridge. Why should she?

She had only ever known the Bridge, and the Underside. It was her home.

To be able to live less frugally? That she looked forward to.

"Hatson,the park bench has vanished"

"Geriarty?"

"Without doubt"

"What does he want with a bench, Sholmes?"

"To #harbour his picnic supplies"

"Why not use a basket?"

"He considers baskets insufficiently grand, Hatson"

New orders, yet again, chosen to keep Dylan on his toes, no doubt. This time to return to safe #harbour and, there, to meet with another of the brass.

But, this time, it was different. Forgiveness had come and a task given.

The Charon was going on a hunt. For an Enemy ship gone rogue.

Somewhere, in this sprawling, overcrowded #harbour, with ships at dock, and at anchor, masts stippling the skies and rigging acting like spider webs, Rory had to find one man that looked out of place.

It was the embarcation and disembarcation point for, theoretically, thousands of people!

Broken,
At the
Best parts

You are
Made from
The puriest
Of Hearts

You never
Not give,
Even as
The World
Brings to
Harbour a
Storm to
Tear you
Completely apart

Hold tight
Golden heart

I watched the waves ripple in the #harbour. Heard the cushioned sound of ship bells toll. Salt tanged my tongue and tangled my hair. A red sun rose up from the horizon. Small fish danced in the breaking dawn.
The peace was overwhelming. I lay on grit-packed stones and cradled the Earth.

Bob and Nora sit at the #harbour with their jackets zipped tight as gulls circle. One swoops in and snatches Nora's sandwich, and Bob laughs that trouble always finds her. He guards his own, then shares half. Next time they're bringing double.

My mind is often troubled
by lack of recognition
for all that work I put in
Those books and poems
those paintings
all emblems of my spirit
different facets of me
which never see light of day
living in the shadows
while all those dreams
I once harboured
lying dormant in a box

Bring me safe to thee
Hold me in the water
Driven here by storms of doubt
Energized by electric fears
If I was you and you were me
Would we be more free
To know each other a little more
To treat more tenderly
But where would be the fun in that
No wild seas
Safely stuck in harbours

Lighthouse shines
Present in the dark
Safe harbour

People, places and things:
Master, safe, secret

Sometimes words are like an army,
lining up at our command.
Sometimes words are like a puzzle,
fitting each one in by hand.
Sometimes words are like a river,
rushing past beyond control.
Sometimes words are like a #harbor,
guiding home a wayward soul.

#vss365 #harbour

in the nearby #harbour
the lighthouse keeper
heralds a strong warning

a fierce storm
is approaching inland
hunker down & stay safe

#vss365 #poetry #writing

we don't have time to #harbour
quietly at home when this country
is being run like a corner laundromat
pop the money in the slot
after the electric shuts off
& the darn machine speaks
'please deposit another round of coins'
before the spin cycle restarts

They harboured no hatred. Along the coast, they come excited to trade secrets and wishes.

They wanted to show us what laid beyond the horizon so we allowed them passage into our world.

The next #vss365 #prompt is #harbour.
