"Tea is wealth itself, because there is nothing that cannot be lost, no problem that will not disappear, no burden that will not float away, between the first sip and the last.” – The Minister of Leaves
Is it too much
insane to say
that I am drawn to you
as the sun is drawn
to the horizon?
That I fear
the twilight of my day
that imaginary line
where the light hides behind
and a veil of darkness
falls upon me
but then out of pity
or not
returns each dawn

What can a mother do when she knows the father can't stand being near their daughter and watches them talking and laughing? How can that mother look her daughter in the eye and lie to her?
Not all families live evermore.
Some die along the way.
#vss365
My eternal torment will be
to live forever
in guilt and shame
since I will never fulfill
the expectations
my family has on me
and despite
standing tall
proud
in the silence of my solitude
I will always be falling
crushed by the weight
of my failure
#vss365#horrorprompt
Isn't it better
to love
in the hidden corner
of the heart
instead of
shouting out to the winds
Winds that will blow it
to everywhere and nowhere?
Atypically I am not
a believer of the carnal
A pointless race
of who finishes first
to claim victory
#vss365
I think it's sad
having to send
text messages
to someone
who has known me
for the last 30 years
explaining myself
through medical articles
at the same time
I'm being confronted
with all sorts of accusations
of you didn't do
and you should have done

I heard the blade
being dragged
too heavy to wield
heavy by the weight
of the coagulated blood
of the living it had drawn
Its sound startled the shadows
hidden from the midnight light
but all I could think was
Will I be next?
#vss365#horrorprompt#weirdhorror
It caught me off guard
when Morpheus
opened the door
of my dreams to you
I let you in
In the blur
of what I remember
I engraved what I felt
And with all my senses
immersed in a tranquility
hitherto unknown to me
I awoke happy
#vss365
How not feel the betrayal
when every cell in my body
feels it?
It is a losing battle
when battles are fought
treacherously
But should I lower my arms
and give up?
I feel like a peasant
pitchfork in hand
against weapons
of mass destruction
#vss365
I chose to go
in the silence
veiled by darkness
My footsteps echoed
in the shadows
and the shadows trailed me
when I opened my arms
and a cruciform shape
fell upon his sleep
waking him up
Before dying
I said I would haunt him
He didn't believe me
#vss365#horrorprompt
Through eyes
too blind to see
I am the plague
that rots happiness
Perhaps I am.
Incredulous
I listen
to the anger and hurt
spat out in the lyrics
of a broken record
and pretend my tears
are dewdrops
hanging from leaves
#vss365#horrorprompt
Moonbeams shed upon water
swinging through pebbles of dark sand
an invisible soul
unseen till the end
and in the depths weeping
only ripples were greeting
the place where she fell
#vss365#moonbeam
Me: "Stimming"
He: Could you be a dear and stop doing that?
Me: okay, I'm sorry.
(Five minutes later)
Me: "Stimming" again
He: Stop doing that! You look like a crazy person. That's what crazy people do! Do you want to be called crazy?
Me: ?????

As night drew in
in the darkness
of phantom shadows
a merciless lurking fear
grew within
from an incessant chanting
conjuring her demons
because whenever they call
she responds
#vss365#horrorprompt
🎨 Jean Delville (1867-1953)
"Just be quiet"
His sweet voice
brushed against her ear
His hands touched her neck
"Your skin soft as velvet"
Words of affection
squeezing her air
She closed her eyes
and at the moment
of her last breath
she still heard
"I love you even if it hurts"
#vss365#horrorprompt
After years
in a dichotomous relationship
and with no hope of escape
she learned how to smile
when angry
How to speak
to silent his voice
within her mind
where his entry is prohibited
until the day she dies

"Meltdown"
And I feel it
the beast
lurking
approaching
and I hear
my soul roar
unmoored
a thunderstorm
lightnings
in a once blue sky
#vss365#horrorprompt
An irrational fear pierced her body
Years of hiding and he comes
with the annoying power
to make her open her soul to him
What a monstrous apparition
it must have been
see her ghosts
her demons feasting
howling like wolves
on a full moon night
#horrorprompt#vss365
At the gates of in-between
the air one breathed
was heavy with sin
Cold
Unholy
The feathers
from the wings
of the fallen angels
burned slowly
embers warming the souls
of those who awaited
for a door to open
by the hammer's strike

Secretly
my mind falls into a loop
A song I like
on repeat
for hours
My brain forces me
to sing along
and I do it
merrily
for hours
but between chorus
desperately
I beg
Make it stop
but I keep singing
the song I like
on repeat
for hours
