The singer
Slings his guitar
Onto his shoulder

The show is over
No songs to sing
He shuffles away

Into the great
Wide #open

Summer’s day
Lady lay
Frozen treat
#Sugar sweet
Poet’s muse
Yours to lose
Timing’s right
Night’s delight

#vsspoem

11/03

Monster
Ogre
Hideous

“You could do
So much better”
They all say

They do not know
What I know

My #choice
My rules

#vsspoem

11/04

The season
Is nigh
For birds
To fly
To #welcome nest
A winter’s rest
Til spring
Renews the land

#vsspoem

11/05

Our love
More than
Mere #words

Or so
I thought

Dreams of forever
Crumble to dust

#vsspoem

11/06

This #moment
Is like
No other

There are many
Like it
But this one
Stands alone

Full of
Potential
Full of
Promise

Carpe diem

#vsspoem

11/07

Pining
Longing
I was
Not #aware
Mind distracted
I did not
See you
Standing there
Flattered
Ashamed
Missed something
In the air

#vsspoem

11/08

Sliding through worlds
True #identity
Hidden

Shadows
Deception
Subterfuge

Chair warrior
Late night
Flame wars
Cowardice

#vsspoem

11/09

The restless youth
Dream of lands
So far away

No one listens
No one hears
Cries of anguish
Fill every day

Soon they find
Overseer has heard
Spirited away
Into the #silent night

#vsspoem

11/10

I #resent you
For reminding me
Of my petty faults

But I love you
For caring enough
To do so

Something
I can live with

#vsspoem

11/11

Couples kiss
Make plans
For the future

Children play
Without a care
In the world

I sit alone
Never allowed
The chance

Am I
So #different?

#vsspoem

11/12

Real people
Long dead
Suffered the fate

Earning
Repairs
Is irrelevant

Nothing
Can #rinse away
The shame

#vsspoem

11/13

You
Have
A
Choice

Every
Day

Make
Things
Better

#Radiate
Kindness

Be
The
Light

Is there
A journey
Without
A #destination?

Life

Metaphysics
For $400

Your wish
For an
Alternate
#Reality
Is granted

You will find
That your new world
Sucks as badly
As this one

Just
Not the same way

#vsspoem

11/16

All of the work
The sweat and the #toil
Decades were spent
Extracting the oil

Now that we know
The damage it’s done
Time to make use of
The juice from the sun

#vsspoem

11/17

Your gift of the hot movie star
Arrives in a fancy sports car
Seems your false votive
Could be your #motive
For plundering kingdoms afar

#vsspoem

11/18

Sitting alone
Anchor the bar
Biker feelIng
Froggy tonight

Are you sure?
Be careful
Who you start with

#Walk

You talkin’
To me?

#vsspoem

11/19

Bright sunny day
Trip to the cay
Where the dolphins play

Tropical fish
My dearest wish

They don’t #disappoint

#vsspoem

11/20

Introverted
Bashful
Shy

Avoiding
Averting
Always
Looking away

Hiding

For she knows
Her eyes
The #mirror
Of her Troubled

Soul

#vsspoem

11/21

Her passion
Is the #source
Of her joy
And her pain

Life at the fringes
Is the only way

She never sees
The middle
Of the road

#vsspoem

11/22

Email
Lunch
Gas fill
Traffic
Politician

Items of
Little #significance
Treated
Life or death

Touch of a child
Caress of a lover

More
Important

#vsspoem

11/23

The skies
Darken
Evil is
Everywhere

The #shroud
Of the Dark Side
Has fallen

This is
No movie
We are Powerless

#vsspoem

11/24

How I long
For the
Sweet #melody
Of
Your
Voice

How I long
For the Silkiness
Of
Your
Touch

How I wish
All of this
Was
Not
True

#vsspoem

11/25

Our love
Exploded
Our forever
Torn asunder

As I stare
At the ruins
Around me

I will save
An #ember
In a jar
So I can
Find a way
To start again

#vsspoem

11/26

Today is
The day

Medical science
Has its way
With me

I will take
The #bitter taste
For knowledge
And healing

#vsspoem

11/27

What is it
That busy people
Do not have
But dreamers
Cannot dispose of?

#Envy is desire
For possession
Without work

#vsspoem

11/28

Every
Morning
I face
The same
Dilemma

Do I #create?
Do I destroy?

I never take
The easy way
To build is

To live

#vsspoem

11/29

The same old song
All I can do is #wrong
More than you care to endure

Feeds your desire
Control is your fire
Escape from this hell is my cure

#vsspoem

11/30

Wandering
The streets
Seeking
Solace
In a doorway

The #sign
Bids
Welcome
To all
Who enter

The soup
Is warm
The meal
Hardy

Strangers
Now friends
In the
Dark night
