Brick by brick
Cell by cell
Note to note
Building, rebuilding
Composing, decomposing, revivifying
One breath, two hearts
Four souls behind the door
Taking the reigns to restore
Physical, mental, spiritual

I made a mistake
I don't know what's wrong with me
Please, please forgive me

#moonlit #vssfantasy #unearthly #vss365

Sauntering through the moonlit glade, ‘neath the silvery, unearthly glow, a coven mutters an incantation. Veiled from praying eyes, hands clasped, the siblinghood of sorcerers harbours refuge for their own, prepares ruthless retribution for vexing intruders…

As they wandered through the #feywild
Stepping over spores
Tasting the fruits of temptation
Wondering, was it real?
The Half-Elf and the Druid
Neither knew nor cared
For if the fey realm was a dream
It was a dream they shared

During our
#candid exchanges,
I strip the layers
from you
like #bark
from a tree,
getting right down
to your #crimson
heartwood.

What I seek,
no more than
the size of #pea,
just the essence
of you,
all that you are,
the tiny weight
of your soul.

Some day there
will be tales
of how we
clashed
like great titans
and rained
thunderstorms
on Athens;
we shook
foundations
and rattled
bones,
we wrote
tragedies
and
Lifetime
melodrama;
there may have
been something
we both
needed to learn
but we must
stop our ruination

Last whisper of a dream,
light as a feather
floating through my mind
as I awake—

I reach for it
but it tumbles
back

d

w
n

into the depths
of #gloom
to float there
until I call it forth
once more
when the dreamer
returns.

#vssfantasy #lanternlight
By the faint glowing light of a burning lantern, the adventurer spies a glint of gold. Treasure to be sought, or a trap to lure him in? Only one way to find out. A hand clad in a steel gauntlet reaches out to grasp an ancient artifact, clutches riches, succumbs to a curse.

#vssfantasy #wraith
A white and rotting hand rips through the last layer of moss as it ascends. Free from the box in which it was buried, the wretched wraith emerges. Shuffling through the moors, bathed in moonlight and dripping with ichor, the wraith rides on, in search of belonging, until dawn.

Alone and quite scared
Cannot vanquish all the fears
Time to invite love

You will never know
The ache, pain and suffering
Of being unloved
