What if we just doused
all their campfires responsibly

listening to something run really fast,
heart hammering through the forest. Maybe it’s us,

carrying coal in our pockets.

I wonder
What the aroma of you be…
Musky strong mythical Adonis
Sandlewood tobacco dreamer
Leather and grease oiled biker

This some kind of idol I see
What would the wafting breeze
Beneath sapphire skies
Above meadows #jade gem green
Bring to me, I wonder

intentions starkly glow
through jade-coloured glasses
bloodshot eyes never #forget
sorrow's fluorescence
the sun rises still
#perplexed by its own impotence
before retreating in the face darkness
a kindred soul

‘Traffic’

caught
in the #flow of you
in the arterial

darkness, I think
of steel rain
on a mountain
its valleys
flayed open
yet fonder, still
of tar that binds
as black ice on
an empty road

call me
bystander
make me
go slow

#wildwalkprompt #poetrysky #emoetry

Self-loathing,
I know that score,
I’ve played it so many times
before,
the melody came to me
so young,
a symphony of criticism
that stung,
it’s etched in my skin
and bursting from my heart,
look closely, look
closely,
it’s tearing me apart

#emoetry #poetry

Hats of nostalgia
leaning into it leaning against

the ground chewing
bark just to get the mouth wet
bittersweet a little a lot
like painful
joints the morning
to keep the jaw able
a little
like that measurement
we use a lot for love

cone pine 5

thousand years
elking the earth
damp spent my nerves
iterate

with each open wound of #loathing, the slow-marching #investiture of madness comes. fingers like gáe bulg dig frantically, ever-searching for innocence to corrupt. self wields the #spear, desperation guides the hand, the end of hope fuels the avarice

#vss365 #emoetry
#wildwalkprompt

It spills
from half open mouth
crawling backwards
leaving shards
in a wake
of blazing restlessness
one more word
slithers away
before you know it
you grab it
holding so tight it dies
before it hits the page

#poetry

fingers fattening like #bluebells, as i tantalise in vivisepulture. there's enough of me for the #greed of vultures & detritivores; sin-eaters with a #herculean task. let me be the broodmare, #incubator for death & life; a loophole for an eternity of suffering

#vss365 #loop
#emoetry #wildwalkprompt

let my thoughts,
full of twigs and blue eggs

please be
a mer woman in a shell bra,
carried away as leaf cuts.

Her lovely head,
perfect as shed cells,
as first responders
and insects and questions swing
vines into her seal-soft hair.

Barnacles
all the inland seabirds dreaming

about wet sanding the insides of my skull
I wouldn’t’ve noticed
but the finish was too close

And the seas began to rise
to remove all imperfections in this dream
psyche and a tide of ants
a tide of grainy pills and magic

I will, I will take those

#vss365 #poem

The melodies that #sink into my skin
Are from yesterdays with you in the pub
Happy hours

They’ve stayed lingering
Like cigarette smoke
In the air little puffs
Nicotine, tip of my tongue
But I never smoked

…Still you linger

#photo Fine Art America

fingernails #sink quick-deep
in an arm too pink for dead-enough
life still flows inside and out
but tears are thicker than blood
(and love is sicker than suicide)
both will still pool in bullet-storm
and searing drought
until life-enough leaves us
with no breath and little doubt

#vss365

interesting interpretation (: thank you

it won't hurt
the fall before the mountain top
you don't need saving
when you fly free
from your gods & dreams
what did you do
but grind your teeth into #sand
& birth the scars of your undoing
you'll leave #pure only a stain of sorrow
& dry eyes looking east

~a note to self

cries for help from chamber spun

#7syllablesentence #help

standing there on a rock
your lonely scalp

reaching across the black
sand in two long columns
light lightly touching your back
rain on the windows of your car
and your face is water
and your mouth is all water
it is so soft.

thank you

i see your happiness
and raise you my feet
from the greying #moss
and rotting understory
the mighty oak lends
her mighty bough
an ever-willing friend
who'll bid me swing
and add one more knot
and one more #ring
to her own #regretful
memories

I never forget how old I am I simply

into a pile of ashes. I simply
Looks like hump day.

No one and yet the sea
is teeming.
Seems sleepy. Thermohaline,
drawn out like a road rage incident.

Hump day, I whisper to my cold coffee.
Soon be

There are rock pools, right now,
powering up.

thanks

thanks

They calculate
withdraw
circle
I watch them
amorphous shadows
bend and sway
like trees
except no breeze
since a child
I have spoken
to these...things
is it just me
or does anyone else
get exhausted
living in tense mode

#WeirdMicro

Why do I feel like the enemy
When all I ever wanted
Was to be part of the same dream
In a rustic haven maybe
I may stay sheltered
But where would your umbrella be
If you let me wander free
Time gives you regret
& a painful never forget

i needn't a #pen to weep, while sitting alone in the hourglass drawing fantasies in the #sand. time and wishes disappear, like a sobbing river flows to its end; memories lost to #pensive waves in a sea of disappointment
