When my eyes
tried to call you
out of hiding,
You told yourself
it was mercy
to retreat
before the flames
could spread.
You thought
you'd seen this
story before,
and fled its
fiery ending.
Your fear wrote
our distance
into history,
each silence
another mile
I can’t travel.

Imagine you're #history
then you are
just a penny in a slot machine
a hope so close and oblivious how far
write some words every day
perhaps in a bazillion ways
then someone will crave
the ink in your mind a jewel only found in some imaginary crown
that is the diamond cut in your hope #vss365

Bewitched by my love for you
those lil sparks of magic
in everything you do
the autumn brings the cold zephyrs
but the warmth of you remains
in the vastness of a darkness I have wandered
and found a light
but nothing as bright as the sheen you spread over me on this

They were the entire fleet of one of the smaller Factions. One that only controlled a couple of the mining moons, but it was a start. Someone had believed Dylan and now intended helping.
It would #reinvigorate the resistance of the smugglers Dylan had brought together against The Enemy.

Wood lice have eaten my shed
the roses wouldn't turn red
wheres the summer gone
i can't find the words for this bloody song
i need a spring clean & it's now autumn
folding screen phones are crap
the seam looks like it's about to snap
gawd i need #reinvigorated
oh wait there's whisky

It’s a recipe
I do not retire

Fire flame ember
No witchcraft either
It’s the blue blue skies
And a sprinkle of sun ray
Swirled into my coffee mug

The battle wasn’t quite going according to plan and Kluhm had lost almost all her stats down to dribbles, but Rory had failsafes just for this kind of occasion.
Potions a button-click away to #reinvigorate a character and bring them right back into the fight. He wondered if it would help?

In the cavern of my thought
the rains poured into pools
they were subliminal until i came to myself
but the floor felt damp
#perhaps they were tears
that followed me through the years
so many loves come and gone
there are no regrets
and nothing to forget

They couldn't say whether they had it in #stock
the pack of coloured chalk
said they couldn't get in the storeroom
the key wouldn't turn in the lock
this website was beginning to mock
I'm sorry in the end i had to block

It was time to get back on the job, regardless of anything else happening. If he couldn’t afford to keep Magpie flying, he couldn’t help anyone. The dealer showed him the contents of his cargo area and Dylan knew he would get good pay for this.

I was the cabin in the woods
she was the forest
a #synthesis of two for the one
those lunar lit nights
where we purged the blight
an indulgence in temperate love
this fusion at times made no sense
but then again
it did

I jumped inbetween
Storytelling, skipping ropes
Never tripping
Mum told facts
Dad told fiction
& I told—sung a mixture
To my younger siblings
This the #synthesis
Of my childhood
A lot missed

The rules o' thumb become undone
#arbitrary creeping autumn sky
for weeping eye
o'er the sulking face o' rockies chase
comes clouds in haste
wallowing in the winds o' the devils sails
the days draw short like the straws drawn from hand
the prize a biting cold for land

The guest left crimson stains
On the carpet of your heart
You knew you should not
Have let him in
His predatory smile
Should have given
The game away
Should have
Told you so
But your heart was too weak
Too keen on turning a blind eye
And so was your pride
