We open ourselves Like empty coffins Always destined to touch Tonight if you'll let me I will be your #empire Made of glass Tomorrow we'll build From scars and bones A foundation we'll call our own #vss365

In darkness dwells our peace of mind In shadow lies our solace For we are creatures Of the night And you Our life Our chalice #ValentinesDay #verse #VampiresKiss

I give you My heart ♥️ #ValentinesDay

Forever and ever...

This frosty evening of #ValentinesDay I shall need no more to warm my heart than a glass of the finest Jack Daniels and a drop of Asking Alexandria, while I plot the demise of some dear old friends. #WritersLife #WritingCommunity youtube.com/watch?v=stMWdI…

For many, social media is a form of contact; a grounding to the world; a break from isolation; a place to make friends. This is not aggression media. Not persecution media. Not judgement media. FFS people. I see why so many have left. #WritingCommunity #etiquette #disgraceful

Surrounded by those who do not know me They care not for my life Care not for my death I am invisible in this world Haunting the halls of memory An echo of a life once filled with joy Simply a lacuna in time Dormant The path of uncertainty weaves on And as ever I walk it alone

This is My #creed My cry A call Into night The rise The fall A chest Driven To roar I'll scream Into the Hollow Hills Shout Beyond Whining Winds I'll wish You into Silent Graces Carve You into Arching Branches They won't Tie knots In my Tongue I'll speak You're the one #vss365

Love at First bite...

#Poetry Where were you when the seagull’s solitary cry pierced my eyes- when your name died on my quivering lips and the only reply was an echo of sighs Where were you when memory waves shattered pieces of my heart against a seawall of pain Where are you

It's a sad feeling to slip slowly into obscurity; To feel the cold fingers of isolation gripping one's heart. Each day I become more transparent. Soon shall I disappear entirely from your eyes? Will I even be a memory?

The coins must still be falling The well must have no end Every #wish I ever made Is lost there in the dark #vss365

I struggle on & on And each day the darkness Folds in further The light, an unobtainable memory Shadows seep into my lungs Choking me Filling me Till, in the end, all I am is shadow

What would you like more of in your life? I can think of a few things: motivation; inspiration; creativity; self discipline; yes - money; but most of all... #crazycatlady #writingwithcats #amwriting #catlover #caturday

Wicked Vine Ruby red and fragrant rose, Your beauty eludes me, for all I see are thorns. #darkpoetry #amwriting #poetrycommunity #gothicpoem #gothicpoetry

This morning is foggy and drab. The colour has been stolen from the day. As a writer of Gothic horror, the drab, dull days should give me inspiration - but I'm still craving just a little bit of colour; a hint of sunlight. #mistymorning #fog #amwriting #writerinspiration

My debut Gothic novel, Of Blood & Dreams. A struggle between darkness and the starlight. The darkness is strong - but you must go to it willingly. Would you let the darkness in? #gothichorror #amwriting #writingcommunity tiktok.com/@cherie.rayner…

Of Blood & Dreams (The D'Aruvia Trilogy book 1) releases later this year. Vampires; elder gods; witchcraft. Love; death and betrayal...What's not to like! #gothichorror #gothicfantasy #amwriting #darkromance #writingcommunity tiktok.com/@cherie.rayner…
