A #poem based on a #spiritual experience I had the other day. #poetry #mywriting #spirituality
Warmth of womb Out of darkness, still pond Beneath the surface a string Of rooms frozen then thawed One by One. Gently buoyed, I fly To freed elders' arms When you die, They explain You become a God. With the cape of Minerva On the bird of Diana I paint stars for my sun Step into past future Whisper Poems into souls.

I accept that I Refuse to accept. The cosmic spider In my palm weaves My multiverses, inflection points I like to think my decisions control As I white-knuckle push God's planchette Away from the Ouija letters Stop the final word From being spelled. Spider, show me The shimmering threads Born from the steel cable Fate carries me along -R. Noelle (@makangerous.bsky.social)

The ideal twisted, mystified Locked behind plexiglass That dress in the window can't possibly fit Too nerdy, too pouty, too big and ungainly Penthouse princess, so perfect Won't give us a glance Yet we were born warriors in schoolgirl skirts Ruby, sapphire, citrine, emerald hearts What you must lash to your neck Sparkles in us, the rain, the sun, the snow Reflections caught and laser-focused The light to protect the world

Dedicated to the memory of #OzzyOsbourne. #poetry #poem #writing #writingcommunity #WriteSky
May you take the fumes of smokestacks Acrid in your lungs And belt them out as hellfire May you take the bruises Inflicted by cowards And salve them with bat wings May the black magic of your words Carry you forward on the shoulders of hellions Trap the devil himself in an acid sweet deal May the millions chant As you open the gates to the underworld And make yourself at home

Bigots built the doors In our billions-strong home Despots cut the power line And bricked up the windows Spindly-legged bots patrol the halls Blasting lies and hatred megaphone loud We take up our hammers Our broom handles, our pens And shout into the void, waiting for answers We've gone insane in their trap, the devils cackle But the void's a clear night in a dirty mirror We form constellations. Among the cacophony We grab each other's hands Shine bright enough to sear the sky And smash our enemies into hideous piles When together we hang the sun back up We'll plant a forest in their ashes

Neon lady on the clubhouse sign Her violet pirouettes call me inside Tonight, another silent rave Loud music banned for corporate slaves My headphones on, ready to groove The same thing I've always had to do (Dance to a beat no one else can hear) We sweat and writhe and spin around Asynchronous flailing with absent sound Screen flips to news we can't ignore Stocks crashed, chaos on the trading floor A girl pulls off her headphones, snaps them in two Everyone else follows suit, and I do too (Blast the music) (Turn up the bass) (Shake the ground) (And yell in their face) Blast the music Turn up the bass The order's changing Let's celebrate

A single tear shed For the Garden of Eden As I emerge from its sands Destroyed to exile me His aberrant, necessary Creation For the crime of taking a seat At the table of the gods But Earth's my mother She nourishes me, and With that one drop of water I'll tear up the killing fields Plant jasmine and desert roses And fruit trees as far as His eyes can see

The final chrome screw twisted The switch flipped, the lights blinking Fans whirring in the glass-paneled cranium The robot girl wakes, beholds the skies Apocalyptic fire streaks across, bullets rain She stares at her palms, seeking a gun, asks "What is my purpose?" Her keepers clad in helmets and boots, and Layers upon layers of reinforced armor Blink as they think how to phrase it The girl continues, "You want me to fight, right?" And at that, the leader shakes his head Slings his arm round her metallic shoulders And brings her inside a two-story house "No." He explains, "We want you to live Because we forgot how to."

#Wisteria blossoms in fragile chains
Cascading forever like the cold corporate deluge
On the day you said you'd move
To a skyscraper worlds away
From the park we'd race to
After the last school bell chimed
I passed you a folded note
Now I wait with the flowers
To hear your sincere answer #vss365

The mellow, gleaming ghost peered up from her book Sat straight in her great-grandchild's softest chair Dried their tears, and said "When I was a child I stood in bread lines And ate water pie The broad-backed, smiling boys I stood on stage with At high school graduation? Half were dead five years later Ordered killed by fascists, as proxies for freedom The fifties? They tried to keep me in the house In simpering servitude It didn't work, and the next decade I spent Laughing and drinking From the firehoses they turned on me I closed out the sixties By throwing bricks at Stonewall At shadows of the jackboots That murdered my brothers. All this without a bank account!" She smiled, then said "What got me through, what I burned for fuel Was fierce love." --R. Noelle

#BluePitHype I don't have any art of my current #wip (original or fanfic) but here's some concept art for a dating sim #VN I started work on a while back. I used a free paper doll layer set to make these. Left column are the protags, everyone else is a love interest. Bios below. #gamedev

I want to be an unwritten saint A hundred years from now, my blood Joining many, running under the soil Yet crying bright red. You unearth my name, ask who I was They point at the headstone, my family tree The words I spun, none of which capture The warmth and womb around me Of Mother Nature. I barely saw it Til I had almost returned to dust. For so long I felt Cold and alone. So I lit a candle Tipped it toward someone else's empty wick Then another, then another Forming a prayer circle For harmonious order and beautiful chaos. It was all we could do Keep our corner of the universe from going dark Arms wrapped around each other While breathing in sync Massaging each other's chests To stop our heartbeats from stalling Maybe we never saw the world turn bright But what we saw in our circle those nights Were stars so strong They blinded us. --R.

Helpful tip 1: Blood can be used as a substitute for eggs.
Helpful tip 2: It doesn't need to be your blood.

Thanks, Facebook AI. I totally know how I'm going to decorate my bathroom now.
Photo of a toilet with Finn and Jake graffiti over it saying Go Ahead, Pee. Below, Facebook AI is suggesting "more about bathroom decor ideas".
