As the saying goes
Shrouds have no pockets
All worldly possessions
And then some more
Are left behind
You'll need them
No more

....
As a silken veil
She fluttered to ground
Ever graceful
& serene
Unto peace she sank
As an angel resting
& surrendered to death
#DarkLines
...
She was a tempest forming
A dire threat to those in her path
Bearing down with malevolent intent
A shrew at gale force strength
#fieryverse
...
Miscalculated
Misunderstood
Misspent
Mistaken
Words that weave their way
As a reel of thread
Through the warp & woof of my life
#fieryverse
....
Dusty petals
Scattered & blown
Garlanded my tomb
They mourned my passing
Bowed heads & said goodbye
To a Child of the Night born
#SenseWrds
...
Set high upon yr gilded throne
Impervious 2 mere mortals
2 far beneath
Yet close enough
U closed yr eyes
When U should've watched
#Ashverse
...
Sibilant whispers in the dark
Uncoil in the shadows
& with the venomous sting of a scorpion
They pierce my heart
& poison my soul
#MSpoetry
...
A curious sight
A racoon juggling pumpkins
Alone in a street
Nimble & quick
He drew a crowd
Who threw him coins
And clapped aloud
#TastyPoem
...
On the ragged edge
Barely holding on
Each jagged breath
Sears our lungs
But we will survive
This barren Martian wasteland
🚀
#WyldeVerse
...
Tis not the size
Nor the strength
That matters most
But the will
The courage
A fire that burns within
& the faith in yourself
#Ashverse 308
...
Racing with the wind
Towards the sinking sun
And the magnet that is U
Pulling me in
Each jagged breath
Tasting sweet excitement
#WyldeVerse
