With odds, deplorable,

So long we pay
The cost of hope.
Once upon

Liquid reasons,
Slipping through my hands.
Gutter, stage, consolidated,

Eyes on the praise.
Gratefulness an afterthought,

Basking in the radiance —
How wonderful to see you here,
And thank you for the love.

Coming back for more.

Desires, sensations,
Churning dust of ages past.
Nothing says
#vsspoem prompt for August 8th, 2023: Subconscious
I love you, still,
Like simply being there —

Subconsciously,

Unaware.

Not even yourselves —
Into that sunset,
Never look back,
Oh, you glorious
One trick ponies.

Hazardous, the path of knowledge —
Quests for meaning stray endlessly
From obsession to insanity,
And back again.
Media to feed the fiction,
#vsspoem prompt for August 4th, 2023: Chill
Locks to keep the world outside —
An antidote with barely
Truth enough to chill their bottle lies,
Selling by the bloody dozen.
