Your beauty, a #vision
So stunning, so fine
We dream as we walk
Along the shoreline
I treasure each day
To know you are mine
#vsspoem

Sitting above
Watching you #climb
Ultimate outcome
Wasting your time
Better to spend
Your talents for good
Lift others up
As only you could
#vsspoem

It is the #season
For ultimate treason
No further reason
Is sought
No better time
Their tactics sublime
Their foe dropped a dime
They’re caught
#vsspoem

The future is uncertain
No guarantee
If we
Work
Together
The future shines
With you
By
My
Side
#Maybe Baby
#vsspoem
01/05
Resigned
Hopeless
Only way out
The gun
To your head
I did not know
You could be
So #selfish
Telling me this
Means
Hope
#vsspoem

The carnage Is breathtaking
Walking the fields
Of conflict
Another generation
Laid to #waste
When
Will
We
Learn
#vsspoem

For tonight
I cede #command
Of my senses
To you
Take me
On a ride
Of passion
And lust
And leave me
Alone
Quivering
But satisfied
#vsspoem
01/08
We have been friends
For a very long while
But I’ve never been sure
Of your interest
Your gentle consent
The warmth of your smile
The #bloom of your cheeks
Bear your witness
Dreams are fulfilled
Lips are conjoined
Hearts are complete
We are fearless
#vsspoem
01/09
We start this life
The center of attention
We grow
In a virtual cocoon
Thinking we
Know
It
All
More growth needed
But not accomplished
If we keep that thought
Instead of
Widening
Our
#Perspective
It is a big world
Join us
#vsspoem

Always #tomorrow
Never today
Always a reason
Unpleasant delay
There comes a time
When new days are fewer
You find that your life
Has drained to the sewer
You have but one chance…

She approached him
Cautiously
He hid
In the shadows
#Closer
The sound
Of synthesized drums
In the distance
#vsspoem
01/12
What once was full
An #empty shell
Decaying in the waves
The resident
Has now moved on
To find a new enclave

The things
You #believe
For some
Too naïve
Not up your sleeve
Plain
To conceive
Strive
To achieve
Your final
Reprieve
#vsspoem
01/15
All alone
In your beliefs
Creed
#Conviction
Faith
It will be done
Leaving them
To wonder
How
#vsspoem

Oh Lord
Grant me
The #serenity
To do no harm
Cat

The #struggle
Is real
But he comes back
Every Day
My poetry
Sucks
#vsspoem
01/18
Your feelings are #valid
Your tears are sincere
Your sorrow is manifest
Truth to your fears
He lies still before you
Machines at the ready
Forever an #invalid
Your poor forlorn teddy
#vsspoem
01/19
You find it
So easy
To #discard
My feelings
And move on
With your life
It is true
I am just a monster
But I am more
Than you see
You will see
#vsspoem
01/20
Occupy us
With the #spectacular
And the profane
Abandon
Strip
Discard
What remains
Is
The
Most
Profound
#vsspoem
1/21 – 1/25
Missed – medical issues

#Condemned to be
Sunned and alone
Facing the world
Solo
There is no reason
Except in your mind
Come here
Let’s talk
#vsspoem
01/27
Believing it’s real
I long to feel
The warm, soft #cover
Of a favorite lover
To shelter my bones
From knives that are thrown
By the jealous
#vsspoem
01/28
People arrive
From miles around
The common thread:
#Sorrow
A hero falls
Lives taken too short
There is No reason
But reality
#vsspoem
01/29
I have yearned
For a love
So #genuine
So pure
I never thought
It would happen
But I look
In your eyes
And I know
I am home
#vsspoem
01/30
I struggle
To find a way
To #express
My love for you
A kiss
A slow caress
Says more
Than words
I treasure
These moments
#vsspoem
01/31
I wait all year
To bring you here
The sheen of the water just right
To see your eyes #shimmer
It takes my love’s simmer
Rise to full boil this night
