A clock strikes midnight Witching hour I toss in my bed as if the howling wind however locked outside is moving me It's Nature's call to #freedom Come out! No sleep tonight I'm off running with the sprites Tinkling laughter and swaying boughs Am I mortal? Perhaps not #vss365

I'd like to #protest my wrinkles Not the ones edging my skin those unsightly creased monstrosities across my soul No amount of peeling scrubs them away No surgeon can carve virginity from experience No pills can iron them out Oh to be flatly naive again Internal vanity #vss365

The lie in the garden is no #baby of mine Treacherous roses and malignant lilies have no home in my arms I love the honest weeds Fluffy dandelions clovers and ivy Flowering thistles and burning Amaranthus I'll sing them a lullaby of harrowing truths and misspent youth #vss365

So conventionally boring my everyday tales are #stuffy My "Good Morning"s and "Goodbye"s the foundation of snores What did I do last weekend? Oh Nothing exciting Bodily But my mind flew dragons My dreams lived a thousand nights pencils got worn to nubs If you only knew #vss365

I wish the snow would #percolate through the ground through Earth's core and hidden mysteries returning as magical rain I wish fairies and dragons would rain down on me A world enchanted and a shovel tucked away Let's glitter and burn into the soft nights of summer #vss365

No more storms Hurt won't rage through open windows but #wheeze through strangled lips die on wounded tongues Grin and bear it or be slapped down weeded out locked up They made pain illegal Enforce the laughter push the smiles wear the joy Don't be real enough to bleed #vss365

It's been an age Half a life A full term of #delirium I've had a drink of golden dreams A pinch of wormwood in my cup It's been a while All my life A small part of eternity I've had a touch of velvet thoughts A dash of sunshine in my mind I've had an age I have a life #vss365

Yup

There's silence I can't break in the heart of summer #Overwhelmed by free time my idle hands lie motionless in gentle introspection My gaze sees nothing locked on futures unborn The past cradles my cheeks and kiss my chapped lips tenderly and painfully before letting go #vss365

Kevin Piette, paraplegic since an accident, made history today by carrying the Olympic flame with his exoskeleton! 💪

Wherever I reside I am a #Citizen of paths untrod Every bend of the road every step on the way I believed in the goal My final destination I was almost there when I turned away Realising my fate was to move Where I've never gone before Onwards Next stop Forever #vss365

You're two-timing I'm last-timing That was the last kiss I'll ever give you Those were the final moments in my arms These are the fading thoughts I have of you We'll meet again and it will be The last time In the #interrim I will erase my wrinkled paper dreams and hopes #vss365

Lie to me I live for honesty but please lie to me Tell me pieces will come #together and the scabs will fall off That the scars will be vague and gentle and winter will be soft Lie to me with lips and touch Lie to me It would help so much #vss365

A little Tuesday toast. Cheers to the perpetual headache given to me by humanity.

Those sunny days when you told me that the world is ruled by time and no one has enough Truth Though not as you think You are all of my moments #Rein me in with your seconds Tie me down with your minutes I'll be yours for eons Never ending Never ever enough #vss365

There's just never enough weekend.

How we struggle and strive climbing eachother Scratch and stab Envy and moan The rat race of achieving trampling everything I'm abdicating Values spin in their grave Let the #escutcheon on my grave say this "Here lies The Meek One. Could have but came to her senses" #vss365

I'm not smoking or crying truthing or trying Sitting and looking I'm waiting for nothing Time stopped in between the chasing and groveling the smiling and faking Breathing and soft I'm thinking of something How my only #goal should be peace alone #vss365
