By Her Grace

There's her and her needs,
Then there's us
And what we can do
To please her —
By her grace,
That's her world
We live in.
At least,
That's how she sees it.




#vsspoem prompt for November 21st, 2024: Grace

Just In Case

Maintaining contingencies,
Just in case
The worst takes place,
At the cost of living
All the time we waste this way.




#vsspoem prompt for November 20th, 2024: Contingency

Ever Taking

Beaten by life,
Broken by the living —
Ever taking, never giving.

#vsspoem prompt for November 19th, 2024: Beat

Spotlights

It was never about us —
Spotlights on the stage
To keep the audience
In darkness.




#vsspoem prompt for November 18th, 2024: Audience

What Adventure

Evicted from my comfort zone,
Forced to turn the wheels of change —
Mournful, yet excited
What adventure comes my way.




#vsspoem prompt for November 17th, 2024: Adventure

Edit Black

History selective,
Cultural memory defective —
Ancestry, legacy, and heritage
Buried under edit black
Retconned to support
The forward thinking few.




#vsspoem prompt for November 16th, 2024: Retcon

Once Shared

Is there such a thing
As etiquette
Of letting go,
Of breaking up
Of moving on,
Treading on the shards
Of a once shared
And treasured past
Now dead and gone?




#vsspoem prompt for November 15th, 2024: Etiquette

Behind A Mirror

My feelings
Safely shielded
Behind a mirror —
I sympathize.
I didn't like
What you showed me
Either.




#vsspoem prompt for November 14th, 2024: Sympathize

How It Is

When I tell you
How it is,
That's no suggestion —
I'm afraid
I must insist.




#vsspoem prompt for November 13th, 2024: Insist

Done Playing

Aware of who I am
And what I'm not
Without illusions,
From this point on
No choice unless
I chose it —
It is just me
And I'm done playing.
This is how we're gonna do it.




#vsspoem prompt for November 12th, 2024: Unless

Sudden Exit

Through hell and high water,
For years, side by side
We traveled life’s highway
Together —
It took your recent
Sudden exit to realize
We were only ever
Parallel.

#vsspoem prompt for November 11th, 2024: Parallel

Falling Sensations

Falling sensations,
Not easier,
More distant —
The absence of reason
Once you have reached
The last degree of separation.




#vsspoem prompt for November 10th, 2024: Separation

Around The Corner

After years of trying,
I found out happiness
Lived just around the corner,
But none of it was mine.


#vsspoem prompt for November 9th, 2024: Corner

Short-term

Can't look into your head,
But can see straight into your heart,
And what I see isn't love —
It's short-term want.




#vsspoem prompt for November 9th, 2024: Straight

Stay With Me

Pain reshaped to melancholy,
Heartbreak drowned in melody —
Winds of change softly sing
You'll be alright,
Just keep up
And stay with me.




#vsspoem prompt for November 8th, 2024: Reshape

Raised On Lies

A people
Raised on lies
Won't be bothered
By a couple more.




#vsspoem prompt for November 7th, 2024: People

Carried You

Until you found
Your legs, for years,
I carried you,
And then you ran away —
Don't pretend
You did not use me.




#vsspoem prompt for November 6th, 2024: Pretend

Waiting For The Sun

Waiting for the sun,
Behind the clouds
Naught but blue.




#vsspoem prompt for November 5th, 2024: Naught

Bleeding Constants

Bleeding constants,
Lost our way —
Were it real
It would not ever
Change.

#vsspoem prompt for November 4th, 2024: Bleed

The Chill

Warmer days
Post cold war —
Can you feel
The chill
Sink in again?




#vsspoem prompt for November 3rd, 2024: Sink
