Showing prompts for April 1st, 2022 until April 20th, 2022.
You never felt it go,
#vsspoem prompt for April 20th, 2022: Bear
Nor would you have
Cared if you did.
It may have been
Your pain,
But it's mine now,
And I will bear it.
No routes to take,
#vsspoem prompt for April 19th, 2022: Route
No signs,
No guiding lights,
No rules to live or die by.
Just time.
No day goes by where
#vsspoem prompt for April 17th, 2022: Asshole
I do not curse
The me on top —
The devious survivalist,
The asshole taking
Care of number one,
Whether I want it to or not.
Shadows crawl across the floor
#vsspoem prompt for April 16th, 2022: Sinister
Like instincts of the sinister —
I should know.
I recognize their every movement.
Never mind
#vsspoem prompt for April 15th, 2022: Between
The breaths between smiles —
It's life,
But not the good stuff.
Beauty is
#vsspoem prompt for April 15th, 2022: Afford
A gown of ivy,
Kept with thorns —
Comfort is a luxury
Most can't afford.
Hold me
#vsspoem prompt for April 13th, 2022: Pull
Tight and
Pull me
Closer still.
Water stains the buildings dark,
#vsspoem prompt for April 12th, 2022: Stain
Gloomy in the muted light —
My mood has gone the way of rain.
The day is lost.
The little things,
#vsspoem prompt for April 11th, 2022: Seeming
Even those seemingly
Innocent and comforting,
Still kill us in the end.
I won't be to blame —
#vsspoem prompt for April 10th, 2022: Bottom
If death won't do us part,
I'll be right here, waiting
At the bottom of my heart,
Longing for the day
You'll be gone.
Feed the flame that never warms —
#vsspoem prompt for April 9th, 2022: Body
The bodies burning in the background
Are our own.
Here I lie,
#vsspoem prompt for April 8th, 2022: Away
Bound to stay —
My body dead,
My soul
A world away.
Overexposed, numb, and senseless —
#vsspoem prompt for April 7th, 2022: Expose
Tricked to think that
This world,
This life,
This miracle of self
Is nothing special.
Retrace, retrace,
#vsspoem prompt for April 6th, 2022: Replace
Erase, erase —
Replacing what can't be recalled,
Filling memory gaps with fiction.
Yesterdays
A mental game
Of Chinese whispers.
Fortified lines in the sand,
#vsspoem prompt for April 5th, 2022: Trivial
Trivial hills to die on —
Supposed rights cannot trump freedom,
No fight is worth a life.
Monuments of longing,
#vsspoem prompt for April 4th, 2022: Monument
Towers of chiseled, sculpted,
Polished time —
Lifeless images, not reflecting
All we chose to leave behind.
Perfection is
#vsspoem prompt for April 3rd, 2022: Unplanned
The unplanned moment
When everything
Feels right.
Keep me warm —
#vsspoem prompt for April 2nd, 2022: Immutable
Memories immutable
Defying time and distance,
Never to be lived again.
The well ran dry
#vsspoem prompt for April 1st, 2022: Well
Long ago,
Yet, we keep pumping.
Hope ran out
Before our time,
But no one told us.
