“Yeah!” Antin added. “Or else they will lead us to literal oblivion!” Zhe’ra turned to look at her great grandson. “Bill, when you and Ar’Thyl were underground, you said you encountered someone there that helped you?” Bill nodded. She turned to Antin. “And when I read your retelling of your time in Boulder – you, and Nyx – a village I recall hearing of in my youth, by the way – you said some kind of serpent creature tried to help you? Could they be the same creatures?” Bill shook his head. “The ones I thought I saw looked like people, but something about them seemed different,” And I was asleep, strangely so, unaware of anything happening. But someone had brought sustenance to my Aludim in the night. Ar’Thyl sent a memory to Zhe’ra and Georgios, of them waking up to find a plate of sandwiches. Tannamir bent to meet their eyes. Now dear Aludim, lest their family think we are hoarding their kin, we should take a break to rest before the feast tonight. “Feast?” Bill asked. “Yes, good idea Tannamir!” Georgios said. “To celebrate your return to us, and that your mother had agreed to become our resident medical practitioner! We’ve invited Rebecca and Toby to join us in the tower dining area in an hour. Dofhâwr is upstairs setting up as we speak.” Me and Nyx will do a patrol around the island. Ar’Thyl said. Bill got the impression his beloved Aludim wanted him to spend time alone with Antin… “Let’s hope you disappearing will be the worst thing this summer.” Antin said. “Though I suppose something will surpass it before the war is done.” Bill followed Antin out of the main chamber “I know, right! But I’m not sure what’s worse – facing another seething Dreth – or facing another sourly military officer.” “No, let's not repeat of that either!” Antin flapped down into one of the couches in the outer hallway. Bill sat down next to him, “I fear we will, though. Face both. I hope the others return before the ambassadors start showing up though.” “Why? You handled t…

Seething from teething, my mouth-breathing pretty?
Other pops use frozen pacifiers as sops
for the pain. But me? Straight to Novocaine,
oral form, inset in a beignet, my Colette,
to slake your ache. Now let me eat my steak!

I #assure you: water's freezing point is #regaled in #pretty poetry, whereas ice's melt is cursed in the #final_submissions of boots' muddy muck.
Two states of matter:
molecules #crossing_borders
without boundaries.
There was a young lady called Lorraine
Who regaled with stories about Spain
She felt quite a breeze
When she stooped to her knees
Because she left her thong on the plane

my final submission,
prepare to be regaled,
skin and soul,
mind and mouth
with my gifts of desire,
lusting fire,
and be assured
that you are my target
and this is my final
arrow
#weirdmicro #emoetry #vssdaily #vss365 #poetry
Light the candles
Pass round the tea
I came to be regaled
With tales to chew
The audience is choice
Fat being passed about
Gnawing on truth
Serving up bliss
A mic with static
Purpose under the table
Gifts you don't see
Stifled gasps

#OurPoetryX - proudly
I am at peace amidst the trees
#regaled presence comforts me
Spring's rebirth our welcomed bloom
Mother Nature's fertile womb
I write my best sat waterside
sodden earth #assures rising tide

He #regaled me
with his tales
so clever and
entertaining
My sides hurt
with laughing
a perfect storyteller
a raconteur
no detail is missed
the heroes speak
for themselves
he is only a messenger
not the puppetmaster
and his joy in words
is lovely to see

HOW TO BRAINWASH YOURSELF I'm pounding the roof of hell with hands that once held the flesh of an absurdist god. My phone assures me this is the only correct thing to do right now while also ordering me to give my life to a satellite, to make myself ill so I can feel the elation of health if I survive. I'm endlessly regaled by the uselessness of old pictures that are scattered across my Facebook page as if they were ashes from the last cigarette I ever smoked. I like to think I'm better now despite how my eyes are drowning in my mind's clueless urges; I know they'll reach for air someday.
I think I really like this one! It was very cathartic to write.

regaled by his song?
maybe, till she remembers
he is a cheater!

She asked if I ate then snapped her fingers
and said, "desire your sustenance, it shall be me"
fear not the dark unfurl
slid slow tidal glass
what can we catch
be caught with
prismed inside ass
a weightless shadow ware
She says eat me and of me
be regaled in pleasures brought me

such clever twists
of word and limb
that cast a spell
on Caesar's morn
gone now from mind
the fevered dream
from wizened lips
that spoke of doom

Assured discretion
Promised within a boudoir
Beneath neon lights.
Regaled by her bounty, I
Sought her sweet splendour

the deepest allure

every contour
in a body of touch
the warm wave
invades
every graze
in a cradled clutch
the radiant #regale
impels
every cell
in a mutual thrust
the sensated #soul
annuls
every control
in a conjugated crush
forever on hold
in a body of touch

You are the playwright.

Unscrupulously regaling
with all manner of excuses
where he was
what he was doing
shrugs of his shoulder
wry smiles
shaking his head
but the truth
she felt deep in her heart
#emoetry #regaled
Delighting young and
Old, as he regaled us all
With saucy banter.

“Not to be the token goose,” Antin said. “But isn’t that like describing the Dreth? Every time we’ve fought them, they seem to come back even more conniving.” Georgios sighed, “there seems truth to both statements. Humanity has grown back every time we’ve been beaten back, but the Dreth have survived literal hell, and grown stronger for it.” “Well, this won’t be humanity’s final submission. Even in my time we knew time moves in ages that come and pass, and come again. Not literally, of course, but our knowledge and our connection to Light and Darkness grow and wanes. We learn, we forget, and relearn again.” Zhe’ra paused to look at the younglings. “And let me assure you, no matter how dreary it looks, there will always be another chance.” After a brief silence, Bill asked the obvious question: “So how can we protect the planet from itself?” Georgios looked as lost as Bill and Antin, but after a glance at his Aludim he continued. “What Zhe’ra says rings true. But she also revealed the answer, maybe without knowing it. We need to enlighten people, bring the Light back into each one willing to let it speak to them.” “That sounds awfully like a religion,” Antin said. “Where I’m from religions bring strife and despair while preaching the truth of a god.” “The Light isn’t a god. It just is.” Georgios regaled. “Equal and opposite to Darkness it is a force of all that is growth, creation, and progress. By connecting to a thinking being – one who has a soul – something remarkable happens. A kind of cosmic consciousness emerges. Not a being of its own, but an exchange between the Light and the soul.” He looked at the three of them. “In my time we called it the creator and the dark one, but I see those are just names for the same thing. The creator wasn’t a god. It didn’t dictate or demand. It just was the start and upkeeps of reality. A reality the dark one wanted to destroy.” “As an opposite force, Darkness uncreates. Destroys, decays.” Georgios said. “Those corrup…

bodies rest
as minds keep
dancing along
shared frequencies
symphonic choruses
merge into ethereal
bliss notes tickling
his amygdala
dawn's happening
and he wraps himself

Years of
being #patronized
makes me less likely
to indulge in

I do not need
a TED talk

an interest I have
I will seek out ones
who are interested
