Pinned; fingers to the cold concrete

iron nails

slow drips fall, my forehead wet

my nakedness for all to see

I do not speak

for my tongue is no longer

You’ve lit my wick
our bodies in rhyme
nerve endings tick
You’ve lit my wick
blending blue hues, bite and lick
glorious moments in time
You’ve lit my wick
our bodies in rhyme

Ten days just passed like
One, time growing shorter when
All is said and done.

The #vssdaily #prompt for 10.10.26 is #ten

overqualified —
my experience
as ballast

At the #edge of the universe I met my opposite number from next door. It was a surreal #experience. He was so happy. Both of us the greatest explorers of all. Then the #sirens began to sound. His ship had taken a bite out of mine. And I was next on my doppelganger's menu.

Put down your phones
Feel and see
Be truly in the moment
Experience that experience
It might be the only time
The first, the last
Create a memory
Take a picture,
Then put the phone away
Time is fleeting
The here and now
Can be amazing

#vssdaily

Gain #experience by doing
it will not be learned
the longer you sit
behind protective walls
for when they come
crashing down upon you
you must deal with it
and survive

He felt the soft kiss of snowflakes upon his face as he lay in the snow. He'd never #experienced such a calm moment. He could even hear the snow falling. He didn't feel pain, though he knew he should. As it grew more peaceful, he heard the #sirens. He hoped they'd get there soon.

She sits on the rocks and hums a small song that the wind refuses to carry. She has yet to experience storms. She is the last siren in a world already too full of noise. Sand falls through her fingers as she watches the boats pass by.

Vote

They have hired & appointed
Those with no #experience
We’re mired & disappointed
By more than happenstance
The #siren sounded
The first time around
Now more surrounded
Here’s what we’ve found
That the only way out
Is to go through
Every vote is our clout
You know what to do

The University of life
with all its knock backs
sad deceptions
The tricks life can sometimes play
when happiness can be taken away
When, you think all is going your way
but then a terrible lesson comes your way
The University of life is a lifelong experience

#vssdaily #prompt #experience

I suspect that #experience
can transform your personality
even more than Gogol's Dead Souls can
and Durrell's Alexandrian Quartet
and even Dali's Hidden Faces

#vssdaily

she let you linger in her thoughts
longer than she should have

especially after that #spineless
display of disrespect

it takes a #valorous heart time
to readjust after #sinful shock
of that magnitude

let this #moment be regarded
as her final #goodbye
