The fiends await the arrival of the treacherous gods. But, for how much longer? As the fingers of the empress itch with war, she prepares her troops among the 9 circles. For when the moment to show her fangs finally comes.

Pied Piper
He was known as the ‘Pied Piper’—a #spectator to some & others a taboo.
A fixture in the parish like the #ink on a tattoo. His music was a melting pot of superstitions—a #choice of shadows whistling, sitting, waiting, & wishing.✍🏽#bravewrite #vsspoem #vss365
My legs are tired from peddling down this river—a mix of tears & ink that saved me in earlier days. Their goal may be warm but inexperience misleads. Smiles are invigorating when they're not solely a choice. #MuseMon #YAMonday #TransWords #painfulprompts #FlexVSS #366FF #vss365
"You could say we're experimental cogs in the devil's machinery but we don't belabour in revenge. It's unbecoming," Gigi said. "Like the spellbound expression when I discarded your beau's phone in the driveway. As if it were an augury of good to come." #TrickyTues #366FF #vss365
The 18th century was hot #chocolate’s heyday in London’s coffeehouse culture, where the beverages were a catalyst for culture, politics & passions. Served spiced with cinnamon, sugar, vanilla, chilli, rosewater, honey, pepper, jasmine or even ambergris (🤢) #vss365
Little Black Girl
✍️🏽...trying to #assimilate in a White school—I ran many relay races on track—talking smack and winning plaques. #Treacherous was my track team—the baton that we tossed---felt like wild #banshees on the run—winning at all costs.

Why in death do we mourn?
Yet in life we can ignore
Surely love is pure
When you are kind warm towards the living.

sing to me
with sultry lips
break the silence
with passions lust
across my ribboned sky
sing to me
in lavender nights
where naked sin
flows freely
sing to me
as poets do
with whiskey lips
in solitude
and dawn weaves
its truth

Valor
People can always teach you two things; ”what to do—and what not to do.” Nothing is ever #amiss when the mind is clear and the #strength of valor authenticates the heart over the #head✍🏽#vsspoem #vss365 #bravewrite
