Spring Forth

We may not seem much,
Not yet,
But we are they
From whose dreams will
Spring forth the seeds
To fertilize the Galaxy.

#vsspoem prompt for November 1st, 2021: Fertile

Beyond The Grass

Blinding, bleak anticipation,
All beyond the grass is gray —
Where predatory circumstance
Patiently seeks its chance
To steal our moment back again.

#vsspoem prompt for October 31st, 2021: Anticipation

Another's Light

Her face, like the moon’s
Reflected another’s light,
Her eyes, like the stars,
Stood distant.

#vsspoem prompt for October 29th, 2021: Reflect

Different Light

You may watch
The same stars as me
And still see
A different light.

#vsspoem prompt for October 28th, 2021: Watch

Compass To Humanity

Compassion is believing,
Embracing, not receiving —
Your compass to humanity
Is giving without reserve,
Without expecting a return.

#vsspoem prompt for October 27th, 2021: Compass

Luggage

Most talk ain't conversation,
Like most luggage ain't supplies.

#vsspoem prompt for October 26th, 2021: Luggage

Fear Tomorrow

Yesterday failed,
So we fear tomorrow
And we hate today —
Nowhere to go,
No place to stay.

#vsspoem prompt for October 25th, 2021: Yesterday

Through the Fissures

Through the fissures bleeds the sound,
A siren song of misery
In words a broken heart can't speak,
Drowning souls in melancholy.

#vsspoem prompt for October 24th, 2021: Melancholy

Final Strands

Captured where the warmth has fled,
Shivering, afraid to break
The final strands of perseverance
Tying rationality
To bittersweet nostalgia.

#vsspoem prompt for October 23rd, 2021: Capture

Silent Tendrils

Silent tendrils of temptation
Seeking naught but warm embrace,
Selfless, faceless, unintended
Frozen in our desolation.

#vsspoem prompt for October 22nd, 2021: Tendril

In Longing

Muted light, cast as shadow,
Silhouettes of life, forgotten —
Broken promises of self,
Manifest in longing.

#vsspoem prompt for October 21st, 2021: Silhouette

Hearts Wither

Hearts wither,
Love remains.

#vsspoem prompt for October 20th, 2021: #Wither

Defying Conventions

Defying conventions,
Logic, and patterns —
It need not make sense
To bring happiness.

#vsspoem prompt for October 19th, 2021: Convention

Little Choice

Given enough context
Little choice
Is still a choice.

#vsspoem prompt for October 18th, 2021: Given

No Value

Fair and square
Placing the self above all others,
Stale victories won
By the size of a wallet —
Worthless,
For they hold no meaning.

#vsspoem prompt for October 17th, 2021: Square

Who We Become

Stories told of those who passed
Cannot reflect what isn't known.
Who we become after we die
Is what we showed the world —
Even if it's naught but lies,
Like hope and innocence.

#vsspoem prompt for October 16th, 2021: Innocence

Spill Life

Spill tears for the living,
Spill blood for the dead,
Spill life for the system —
Waste time killing yourselves.

#vsspoem prompt for October 15th, 2021: System

The Music Changed

The music changed —
He heard the scene's end coming,
But did not want to
Turn the page
Just yet.

#vsspoem prompt for October 14th, 2021: Music

No Prisoners

Don't give in,
You won't get out —
Despair takes no prisoners.

#vsspoem prompt for October 13th, 2021: Prisoner

Depiction

Each perspective, a depiction —
Every history is fiction.

#vsspoem prompt for October 12th, 2021: History
