Uller gasped for air and staggered to the parapet and pointed at the #sail which was leaving. Piter looked at it and then at Uller. “It is Lion of East. Lord Hugh’s command ship. I do not understand?” Uller wiped his sweat and said, “Prisoners possessions are confiscated.”#vss365

#vss365 #Hurricane #Sail

Sailed into a hurricane
Knowing it was quite insane
The gusts of wind, indeed profane
My love for you was never feigned

Deep inside the eye o' the storm
Felt safe enough to grieve & mourn
Emerged into a brighter morn
A drunken sailor divinely reborn

I don’t #sail anymore. My doctor calls it thalassophobia, fear of open water. It’s nonsense. I’m not afraid of the water. I’m afraid I’ll find that little island again. The one that’s not on any charts. The one with the ravine down the middle of it. The one that blinks.

right through
my disappearing map
we sail
without horizon or sea

Happy Tuesday everyone. Hooe its been a great day. #vss365 #haiku

Set #sail on new seas
Her empty shores discover
Free to be explored

We follow the tide-worn groynes down to the waves.

“It's quiet today,” you say, skimming a stone across the surface. We watch its progress among the foam and detritus.

The wreckage adorns the shallows, floating, dead in the water. Further out, a red sail twists and wallows.

When from Wych we #sail;
Skirt the Furzey? Make for Wales?
Up to Corfe for ales?

They were supposed to have set #sail, but fog hemmed them in.

It was strange—the forecast was clear skies, yet she couldn’t see her dog leaning on her knee.

Ralph growled as the mist swirled and an apparition solidified.

“Passing through, no need for alarm.” He faded back to oblivion. #vss365

Catch me
In the mornings sun
Between dark and light
When the day is still young

Wishing on
A far away star
To sail me away
To a long gone land

Love me
In the silhouettes of night
Between each moment
Your touch sends me
Alight

“Judge Uller, you do not need to see anything but the safe room downstair. I cannot let you wander off.” Piter tried to pull UIler again but he resisted. Piter’s pull was like holding on to the jib of a #sail. Constant pressure attempting to pull him into the staircase. #vss365

My house collapsed in the fire and I watched my quiet retirement #sail away on waves of black smoke. Someone tried to kill me tonight and they failed spectacularly... #vss365 #microfiction #flashfiction #spythriller #writesky

Not a whisper
And not a roar
A hymn to the mean
The golden one
To sail, to sail, to sail
Pushing me onward
With pauses
And leeway
Ah, to be carried
To be carried once more
To be carried
And still to hold
The tiller

'Pixie, there's only so long you can #sail so close to the wind before you get in trouble. Mark my words. One, day, you'll get burned.'
'Not if I'm sailing, Gabe. There'll be all that water.'
'You're impossible, Pixie.'
Giggle. 'And you're so funny. Mixing metaphors.'

“Why have you summoned me?”

“The Arandan militia has chosen a spot for its headquarters. It is a remote island in the middle of a vast ocean named Penstarox. Year round stormy weather makes the trip there dangerous and almost impossible to reach by #sail or aircraft.”

and so i #sail away
from the confines of the day-by-day
so i can let myself fade
into dreams made of gray

Most novels offer
end pages that #sail through bliss as
flying 'Thunderstruck'.

sail away night
the gentle wind
at your side

#vss365 #sail

We fly on wind and water
With or without sail
Thinking we are safe
From creatures below

When what lives there
In the depths without fail
Has more intelligence
Than we will ever know
