A note upon my ear then #Fell
The warning of the cloister bell
The sound that said the end was near
A tone enriched by frigid fear
The choice was clear—run or fight
But act before the coming night
The time had come, the end was nigh
I've made my choice
I'll fight or die
#vss365

A #Sonerous song
Rings out like a bell
From heaven above
To the fires of hell
A song of longing
A song of grief
It falls on our ears
Like autumn's last leaf
A wail of lasting injustice
A voice too long oppressed
Open your ears & tell me
Can you hear the song of protest?
@Vss365

To muffle the #Kerfuffle
That's going on upstairs
I take a little holiday
From all my earthly cares
This vale of tears
Becomes too much
If we can't get away
Before this life can drown my mind
I think I'll live elsewhere
#vss365

A sluggish start.
A slow-paced day
#Apricity takes a hold
I turn my back on springtime May
Embrace the inner cold
Let life erupt
Throughout the land
Let dew-drops gently weep
For while the world awakes anew
My heart remains asleep
#Vss365

The glossy, pull-out, false #allure
Of things they say we need
To fill the holes within our souls
And satisfy our greed
Hush the cry that lies inside
The voice of needful sin
Take pleasure in the world right now
The universe within
#vss365

#Languid hearts, in slow repose
The thrill of romance gone
Too weak to chase another love
Too faint to carry on
Twice shy, the cry of those once bit
As expectations die
The light of love must stay unlit
I have no strength to try
#vss365

The #quality of quantity
still rules this sorry state
The more you have, the more you are
A fiscal heavyweight
Do better than the bloke next door
Or find a different way
Be better than YOU were before
And learn from yesterday @Vss365

With clothes bedraggled
Hair a-#Scuff
Bleary eyed
& voice a-gruff
I cough & taste the night before
& swear again to say 'no more'
But when that time is at my door
Resolve dissolves
'Go on—One more.' #vss365

A million, billion, #Zillion thoughts
Lined up with nowhere to go
A conga that leads on to nought
Musings that pull to and fro
I tie them down
To seek what they say
Before the party leaves town
The timer is turned
A lesson is learned
I really should write some stuff down
#Vss365

A #switch of mood
A drop of sun
The feel that something new's begun
A springtime step
A fresh new morn
The here and now are being born
Today's the day
So seize it tight
The time is now
Let's get it right
