Bring me the heart of the storm,
Bring me the light before dawn,
A simple #request,
For you to be blessed,
By the might of the unicorn.

It's too early for poetry. 😴#vss365 #poetry #WritingCommunity

He strummed the #shoddy #lyre, wincing as he plucked the string no amount of tuning would fix. The crowd didn’t notice. No, there was just enough magic to mesmerise them. Enough that his partner had no trouble rifling through their pockets.#vss365 #vssmagic #WritingCommunity

#Goodbye is not the word I’ll use,
At this parting from my muse.
You and I shall meet again,
Though I don’t know where or when.
Shed no tears, which mar that face,
This is not the time nor place,
For one day, when the gods allow,
I’ll return for you, this is my vow.#vss365

I was #lost in the depths of his eyes, those swirling pools of darkness. The starlight reflected there begged me to approach, but even as I took a step, something in the depths of my mind held back my next. Deep in that cavern, there were no stars. #vss365 #WritingCommunity

It was a #mistake to think I could win that battle of wills. She sat across from me, refusing to meet my eye. An apology. That was all she needed to give, but I began to see her will was forged of the strongest steel. At noon, my stomach rumbled, and my resolve faltered.#vss365

It was the #river of blood that finally brought him to tears. The blood of his people. He’d failed them, and now he followed them to the executioner’s block. No one in the crowd spared a tear for him, but there was no blame in his eyes as he closed them. The axe fell. #vss365

The #room was dim, lit by a thin strip of sunlight stealing through a gap in the drapes. Dust hung heavy in the air, dancing across the beam of light. I tried not to cough as it assaulted my lungs. How long had the room been abandoned?

A dark shape in the corner groaned.#vss365

It was an ominous #shadow, that darkness covering the horizon. It spoke of a storm to come. Not only the one rumbling across the sky, but the one that would bring forests of steel & rivers of blood. Lightning struck, and the first soldier came into view. #vss365 #WritingCommunity

#Despair is found in the asper’s* lair,
Piled bones of dead echo death-throw moans,
Believe not the lies its body weaves,
To flee not a coward makes you be,
Live and return to the fairer land,
And live the life this warning does give.#vss365 #terriblepoem

In the #frozen wings of the ixyr mare,
The north wind sings her tale of despair.
“Arise,” she cries to all souls lost afar,
“Follow not woe, but the light of the star.”
And so they soar from across the earth,
To join once more the cycle of rebirth.#vss365 #WritingCommunity #poem
