[1/2]
I've never seen the moon exert its power this way before. Beyond the tides, its pull invades realms deep within our souls, attempting to draw out the unknowable evil it assumes is plaguing us.

Lying Oracle
Squeezing decay out of view
Abject ignorance

From a WIP I can't seem to ever finish. 😵‍💫

Wings clipped
There's no escape
All attempts
Exercises in futility
Morbescent veil
Coats the hill
Satisfying the dark
With opaque devotion
Climbing stops
No one moves
Reality accepted
Celebration of surrender

Iris on the beach
Its ubiquitous sweetness
A prank on nature

I've forgotten too many things
Nostalgia a word I don't know
Life happens and evaporates
Leaving no trace in the snow
I pause every now and then
Wondering why I've let go
I sense it has something to do
With the stars losing their glow

(1/2) It didn't cast a shadow
That didn't matter to me
It was only a hired actor
Its role quite temporary

It loved to siphon thoughts
I had a jealous enemy
I planned to introduce them
At the next Christmas party

Longing for fresh start
Midnight glowing neon red
Bubbly hope blinding

Happy new year, everyone! 🎉

Questioning the page
Asking if the dark will last
Yes spelled out in tears

#vss365 #vsspic #haiku

That distant escape
The want never strong enough
Darkness raining down
