#vss365 #poetry #surrealism #WritersOfBluesky patience is a virtue, said someone perhaps, not being a patient #patient they lingered on in memory wishing for virtuosity, or something getting lost in the wine, delivering a half-eaten verdict to a jury; what gives? Only hope, that’s all we lost

#vss365 #poetry #surrealism #WritersOfBluesky we all carry thorns while imagination sleeps memories are like petals falling to the late summer floor lingering to your promise of a #rose when the sun sets shadows become your eyes- I sneak in, and whisper something about love

#vss365 #poetry #surrealism #mentalhealth #WritersOfBluesky glass tears from from my sky the rain burns, and sends shards of the moon through my skin; #tenderly I wipe away the ash and learn to live once more; in time, I’m breathing open wounds.
And another book done. A collection of #JamesBond shorts, I particularly liked The Property of a Lady. And you get a scrambled egg recipe... what's not to love!! #Booksky 💙📚

#Booksky 📚💙 A reread of this excellent account of a possible future. Written in the 1950's, it's quite scary how current it is and how we sleep walk into government control.

#Thursday The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast. (Oscar Wilde, Lord Arthur Savile's Crime) #Quote #WritingCommunity #Life #Noir
#vss365 #poetry #surrealism #mentalhealth #WritersOfBluesky I belong in and out of this world at times, we merge, our dimensions tangle and life becomes illumination, days become years become whole lifetimes; and yet the end arrives in seconds. Always with #apprehension we say goodbye
Life is much to important a thing to ever talk seriously about it. (Oscar Wilde, Vera, or The Nihilists) #Life #WritingCommunity #Quote #OscarWilde #Wednesday

Love is an Illusion. (Oscar Wilde) Waiting to be made real. (Me) #OscarWilde #Friday #Quote
One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry. (In conversation) #OscarWilde #Thursday #Quote
It is said that passion makes one think in a circle. (The Picture of Dorian Gray) Love is all around. #OscarWilde #Wednesday #Quote
#vss365 #poetry #surrealism #gameoflife #WritersOfBluesky in the game of life we learn to love first, like music to see others in the lightest flame never to #pull away from the gravity of kindness. Love is all; it should never be taken by fools, and destroyed by narcissistic brain-farts
