Rearing high amongst the stars
My #totem rides from here to Mars
In iridescent brilliance it does blaze
To guide my path through all my days

...
And so it begins
The dance of love
The calendar moves
And the clock ticks on
Burnished in gold
A Venus arising
She waits for him
& his footsteps arriving
Beauty illumined
A visual feast
Feeding his hunger
Soothing the beast

Thick and brooding
The #fog rolled in
Suffocating sound
It cloaked the land
Veiling the evil
Concealing wickedness
Sucking the life
Draining souls
Leaving nothing
Desolation it’s gift
Roiling disaster
On it swept
A barren waste
All that was left
#Vss356a #vss365
...
Nightmare
Or dream
Set adrift
Soundless scream
Rudderless
Staying afloat
Just barely
A paper boat
Rip tide currents
Tossed and turned
Chasing horizons
On feet newly burned
Water and sand
What does it mean
Danger on land
Or death at sea?
(📸David Sasso)

They called me mad
Used the word ‘insane’
Yet I proved them wrong
Time and again
Well, when I say ‘I’
I surely mean Adam
He’s my closest friend
And ever so sentient
He may appear metal
But deep inside
Where you cannot see
There beats a heart
And it beats for me

She wore a smile like a loaded gun
With a quick fire delivery aimed at the heart
Words flew like bullets killing one by one
The bodies fell faster than rain from the sky
For this dame with a powerful need for revenge
Writhing before her as she watched them die

No matter how many years
I still feel your #embrace
Holding me tight
As if you’d never let go
How badly I miss you
And wish I’d let you know
#vss365 #vss365a
...
Rumours like serpents
Entwine and grip
Dragging her down
Through murky waters
Until the dark closes in
Suffocating all light
And all that is left
Is the chill loneliness
Of the everlasting night

The Devil rides beneath #iron skies
And the innocents run and hide their eyes
Denying a fate they cannot evade
For this the state of the World today
#vss365 #vss365a
...
Balls of steel
A will of iron
Undefeated
Brave as a lion
He took them on
Standing firm
Against the tide
No way to turn
A loyal Knight
Bold and brave
He went down fighting
Honourable to the grave

Deadly spells and wicked potions
Consume my soul with dark emotions
Burning candles cast little light
The darkness consumes all in sight
Bell, Book and Candle is all I need
To see this through and set myself free

He comes in the night
Growling my name with intent
I melt beneath him
#haikulust #haiku
...
Battle #scars laced his torso
Memories of a life always in mortal danger
Defending the weak against the strong
And yes he’d do it all again if called upon
#vss365 #vss365a
...
Lurking monsters
Abide within
Sabotaging my mind
With imaginative sin
Distrust is a disease
Fear is a scourge
Hesitate and you’re lost
Losing your nerve
Step into the light
Leave the shadows behind
In yourself you are stronger
In yourself you’ll be fine

Quicker than milk left out in the sun, his #mood soured as he stared around the room at all too familiar faces striving unsuccessfully to hide their greed behind false facades of concern as they waited for the Will to be read. Pariahs! And him worst of all!
