At nightfall
repulsive apparitions crawl
the gloomy mountain,
in an unnoticed moment
a haunting story of chaos unfolds,
gnarled yew spawns sinister specters
blood smeared scythe descends
in the darkened woodland
silencing the final cries.

Old men, like #mountains—
pale of crown, stout of girth still,
obdurate as stone.

Three knocks past midnight, we awake. The fields are black, our Woe arrived. We can no longer Defy our fate. They have come for their Payment.

Bodily #aches never seem to subside but remembering her younger days when she was #prettier, even when lipstick became #smeared, comforts her through daily pain.

Walk miles, miles away
Keep those leg muscles supple
To stay longer spry

Sure-footed nymph
Pliantly slipping through the forest
Racing from leaf to leaf
You aren’t seeing things

linear algebra
wondering where
I go from here

Woken by a #cloud—
a cloud so terribly loud,
the grass wet itself.

Believe it or not
I got mad skills

Suppressed by stubbornness

Defiance ruled by chaos

All this lost potential unfulfilled
makes my heart ache

Spite for sprite's sake
makes the whole world vomit
and is proven to be
quite counterproductive

#inkmine #bravewrite #foxprose #poetry #poem #amwriting

Fluffy clouds float
carrying the first sign of warmth,
switchgrasses sway
jackrabbits find sanctuary
in this tranquil habitat,
rosy milkweeds attract
the prettiest butterflies,
pleasing stillness lingers
in the heartland of prairies

I crossed out love
but not completely
a smear of ink
enough remained
to know it was there

my 📷

Ink smeared across the parchment
Words camouflaged by the rain
A mystery rife with torment
Ink smeared across the parchment
Every smudge an ache of lament
A bequest with nothing to attain
Ink smeared across the parchment
Words camouflaged by the rain
