Thank you so much! 🙏💛

A still beach at sunset with driftwood on the shore.

Hide me in
driftwood,
tide-heavy bones
ready to sleep

fold me in your breath,
warm from that inner world
of which I am a stranger,
so I can breathe
while I drown

and when the #wolves feast,
let it be your eyes
that hold me.

every word I form
is just your name
in loose disguise

Oh, thank you! 🙏 💛

I don't look away
from his rapacious gaze, though
I know, I'm the prey.

She broke wide the frame
of his portrayal of love
she is always… more

My rosey cheeks glowed
like bright peony petals
'neath his gentle gaze.

Conceal your hues
if you need to,
but not from me—
I see your colours shine
like iridescent irises
in sunlight

hide your truths
if you please,
but not from me—
I want what's real
& messy

protect your heart,
but not from me—
I hold it close,
more precious
than my own.

The lines blur between
my dreams and reality
each time you kiss me.

Her lonely poems
somehow found his forlorn soul
ending two sorrows

Anywhere but here
I said, and he took me to
a place of pure bliss.

There's a path for us
that is hopeful,
where we get to live
the life we dreamed

& another
where we grow weary,
forgetting all
we were meant to be—

& we don't know
which is which—

so why not abandon
all the paths
we could tread?

Soar higher,
to a place
the very Fates
can't reach.

Thank you for the words.
Those words that keep me going
when I lose my strength.

I don’t have
an ocean
but a field
of prairie grass

where the wind
paints waves
we can sit
at its edge

in silence
and ponder
why the sun
always rises

but love
doesn’t
always
stay

There is certainty
in the way a wave
returns to shore

in how the night
gives way
to day

in the beauty
of lilacs
in May

and so
it seems fair to say,
that while my mind
may drift away—

it will surely return,
time & time
again

to dreaming dreams
of you.

#sensewrds 210

You are my sunlight
shining bright through my storm clouds
chasing rain away.

loves flicker in dreams
like fresh dug ruins, remains
buried by the years

In my well-worn heart
the remains of loneliness
coexist with love

#haikufeels #remain

In my well-worn heart
the remains of loneliness
coexist with love

#haikufeels #remain

How many times
have our souls
played hide & seek?

our bodies
blindfolded,
while our hearts
beat longingly
with all
they recall?

where the
familiar rhythm
of your pulse
& mine,
echo out
over space
& time

calling us
home.

When the whole world seems
to be falling to pieces,
you are what remains.
