Clairvoyant? Not particularly.
#vsspoem prompt for February 3rd, 2024: Clairvoyant
And no, you're not predictable —
It's just that you and I are circling
The same damn drain.
A gift of dedicated time,
#vsspoem prompt for February 2nd, 2024: Priceless
Of creativity, painstakingly
Perfected in the forge of passion —

Of an artist's soul and life,

For that lazy ‘like’ in passing.

Drift.
Discover.
Trauma
#vsspoem prompt for January 31st, 2024: Trauma
The lifeline,
The teacher,
The guide —
Leading away from
The pain we hide
In the darkest depths
Of our minds.
What does it mean to be
#vsspoem prompt for January 30th, 2024: Human
Woman, man,
Or something in-between?
To be a black, Arab, Asian, Caucasian?
A straight, gay, bi- or a-sexual?

We've become
So bloody obsessed
With the details
Of being Human.
No scary bedtime tale before sleeping,

The serpent eats its tail —
#vsspoem prompt for January 28th, 2024: Infidel
A cage of self,
Of mirrored truths.
You, infidel,
I, infidel —
A hell of hate,
Of clashing fates,
No matter what we do.
Bitter hearts, poisoned, betrayed,
#vsspoem prompt for January 27th, 2024: Conquest
Phantom longing aimed astray,
Set on winding, endless paths —
Kingdoms built on conquest,
Cultures forged from want.
Apprehension

Absent comprehension —
Ignorant the fear invasion.
The value of plenty

After spending.
Call me what you will

Then decide on one —
Names are for the dead.
Reduced to tears,

I learned to pour myself
Into brand new shapes —
But still see
My old reflection.
When won in blood,
#vsspoem prompt for January 22nd, 2024: Mourn
Peace can't outlast
The mourning of its forging.
I don't watch the news —

For my fiction.
So desperate to please —
#vsspoem prompt for January 20th, 2023: Vignette

To pad a karma resume
Penned in red.
Social comparison,

A viral disease —
Validating, empowering
Assholes and cowards
To justify our exit strategies.
Is it any wonder
This ship is sinking?
A fork in the road,
#vsspoem prompt for January 17th, 2024: Highlight
We chose before, and poorly —
Fear highlights our faults.
Weary drift my worries
#vsspoem prompt for January 18th, 2024: Weary
From hellfire
To the shadows of
A new formed day.
