Poem: Virtual Sister

-

Two souls
not quite joined at the hip
share no blood
but sisters nonetheless
Share every secret
keep every counsel
talk every day.
No matter how life gets busy
or how fate twists and turns
Take a break
change it up
but still meet at the end of the day
as if time had never passed.
A bottle of wine
and two glasses
a carafe of coffee
and two mugs
Through pain and sorrow
life's little joys and tragedies
to be fortunate
to have such a one
through the ups and downs of life.

Problems with power: any hint of betrayal root it out right now Extirpate it completely only then can you be safe. VII. He sits back to watch this story replays itself and he's

Skullduggery in the back alleys and run down warehouses of the city the rain washes away all evidence of the blood. Life in the shadows is hard you learn to melt away see but not be seen close your ears to the screams and the cries of the devoured. No one judges you for what you have to do to survive. The ones who do come from the moral high ground and would not survive a single night. Your soul is already damned That is cold hard fact. What matters is what you make of your short existence in the limited time you are here. Will you be one of the forgotten?
