"I’m yours forever," he whispered, tracing the new ink fresh on his forearm - her full name, intricate and permanent. "That's a #commitment." She smiled, peeling back her bandage to reveal a clean, unmarked patch of skin. "I'm nobody's." #vss365

#vss365 #poetry #surrealism #mentalhealth ‪ #WritersOfBluesky #commitment expands into our soul, when we look inside; when we unearth the pains that keep us at bay from flying and help us remain in the past. History is a wonder of mirrors, and I wonder what it all means.

#vss365 #commitment I used to write But my hands and fingers Turned to claws And keyboards aren't agreeable With digits that carve stone I used to write But the ink changed And the medium I used to write But the readers changed As did the medium I used to write But I changed my pens And commitment

#vss365 #prompt #Commitment Once a commitment is made, sharing it publicly can help us keep it. Here's my commitment and I hope you'll join me. Find 3 new writers in our community & ❤️or repost their stories. Oh, and have fun.

This has been my Word of the week: MULLIGRUBS. (A low mood, a bout of the blues.) Thank you to @grandiloquentwords.bsky.social for opening me to another way to say "Oh I'm fine!" "The world is fine!" "WE'RE ALL FINE!" Task: can you use it in a sentence to describe your #Wednesday mood?

Luke asks Yoda what's in the cave. "Only what you take with you." He fights Darth Vader, the mask comes off, revealing his own face underneath. I've been thinking about that a lot. We all wear a mask, and what we're afraid of finding behind it is usually just us. That's what I'm making a show about.

#vss365 #prompt #Unexpected Hi Everyone. Planned adventures can sometimes change due to the #unexpected. Yet, new plans can spring forth. Let’s go on this two-week word journey together. I’m excited to read your stories. I hope we'll encounter new writers along the way.

#vss365 #poetry #surrealism #WritersOfBluesky #dead Life is only inevitable when death is cherished, and swooned over like some Fifties crooner. Sing, they tried to tell us, about love, and yet, surely it would be foolish. Love is death, life is death, every memory a leaf falling from a tree.

#vss365 #poetry #surrealism #mentalhealth ‪ #WritersOfBluesky there are moments in the day I can still hear you breathe and my eyes fill at the #sound you used to make, as you shuffled past, or touched my skin, and sighed as love sparked in the room. I wish I could see you breathe again.
