Heart Strings

Beat the odds,
Strum the heart strings,
Seek a rhythm all your own —
Sing the song that fills your soul
For none but you.

Half a Life

A landing paved
With broken dreams —
Was what you have
Worth half a life?

Shards of Innocence

The sins of the father,
The silence of the mother,
The lie at childhood's end —
Shards of innocence.

Be Kind

Believe,
Be heathens,
Be what feels right —
Just be kind.

The Con

The con in economy
Requires a majority
To believe.

#vsspoem prompt for January 24th, 2022: Economy

The Hard Way

Incidental damage,
Incremental pain —
Lessons failed the hard way,
Never to be tried again.

#vsspoem prompt for January 23rd, 2022: Increment

Cracks in Pavement

Freedom
Watered down to chance —
Cracks in pavement,
Holes in fences.
Still, suppressed,
Compromised,
Its call remains.

#vsspoem prompt for January 22nd, 2022: Crack

The Last Piece

Each puzzle piece unique
Until the last one snaps in place
And the whole picture is revealed —
We are one.

Firewall

Unrelenting grief repellant —
Anger as a firewall.

While the Spirit Idles

Inconsequential observations,
Dummy thoughts
On transit moments —
Hind mind musings
While the spirit idles.

Hate Burns

Hate burns
Bright but swift.

#vsspoem prompt for January 18th, 2022: Swift

Not Much Left

It's true,
She stokes my fire,
But there's not much left
To burn.

#vsspoem prompt for January 17th, 2022: Stoke

Cabin Pressure

Cabin pressure critical.
Flying home with borrowed wings
On the wrong side of the glass —
Destination anywhere,
There's no rush.
I'll see you when we get there.

#vsspoem prompt for January 16th, 2022: Glass

A Single Word

Chapters of a single page,
Pages with a single word —
Volume can't determine meaning,
Meaning does not dictate worth.

#vsspoem prompt for January 15th, 2022: Dictate

It Knew

"Who," said the owl,
Even though it knew —
If only I had known too.

#vsspoem prompt for January 14th, 2022: Who

One Shot

Can't burn
A bridge you never cross,
Can't lose
What you don't hold.
Cannot fail, cannot get burned
If you don't try, but what's the use
If it destroys your one shot
At happiness?

#vsspoem prompt for January 13th, 2022: Shot

Digitized

Eternalized, digitized,
Nostalgic for when
Dead meant dead —
When memories were fleeting.

#vsspoem prompt for January 12th, 2022: Digital

Set Free

Stand,
Don't hover beside me,
Lest your heart lies elsewhere.
Show me meaning —
No words, just feelings —
Or set yourself free.

#vsspoem prompt for January 11th, 2022: Hover

The Less I Grasp

The less I grasp,
The more I ask.
The more I try,
The more I master.

#vsspoem prompt for January 10th, 2022: Master

Misery Composer

Don't stop before it's over,
Oh misery composer —
'tis but one bad note
In a golden requiem.

#vsspoem prompt for January 9th, 2022: Requiem
