my life
a revolving door
around you
exit and entrance
one and the same
a forever trap
of everything
you

#vss365 #revolve

the tempest of man
self fascination, hate, greed
never dissipates

#vss365 #fascinate #haiku

thank you🙏🏼🌱

a familiar voice
blackbirds trill at my window
bearer of springs song

#HaikuSaturday

isolate, ignore
a meditation in
the mediation of
meaning where
truths translate
to mirages
in the vastness of
the maddened mind
maybe god
can understand
these overcast skies

#vss365 #mediate #overcast

i fold you into
my softest corners
away from the hard
sharp angles
of my heart
a gentle love
meant to surpass
time & distance
that separates
a celestial caress
entreating us not
to let go

#vss365 #entreat

🙏🏼🌱

to surpass all things
blackened from winters
frozen fingers
the suns spring warmth
assures new growth
green promises
of revel

#vss365 #surpass #assure #warmth

loss of resonance
absence of tone
and tenor

flattened notes
world out of tune

dissonant chords
played on hardened
heart strings

lost harmony
i struggle to find
the key

written Aug 2024

gramma said #lightning
only strikes once
still i sit
high on this mountain
praying for rain

to mingle with tears
to cover fears
another storm
to set me free

and still i wonder
could a love like this
really be
real
the swoon in my heart
says yes, believe

#vss365

thank you Bethany 🙏🏼✨

tired moon, spellbound
low glow rises, shimmering
across these bare limbs

#vss365 #spellbound #haiku

words becoming jewels
pearls sparkling on your tongue
the richness of love

#haiku #vss365 #jewelry

thrombosing desire
in dehydrated dahlias
supplication for rain

#poetry

to my sister,
your tears fall
sure disgrace
stealing love
from a sacred place
you know it's wrong
or why hide away?
this love born in
deaths &wishes
you covet& steal
hiding behind
the penance of
your own guilt
you already wear
the stain
markings of
shame
just own it

#poetry

forbidden hope
an empty eye
dying slowly

timidity of truth
ill gotten gains

not a release
but a keeper
of pain

#vss365 #timidity

🙏🏼🙂✨

these
spaces
i
fall
into

time gaining
velocity
even as i
stand
still

#vss365 #Velocity

grace of sliver moon
subtle yet undiminished
divided but whole

#haiku

in a crazed minute
belief and vulnerability
died

gravity presses
weight of flesh & bone
pinned to earthy ground

eyes of stone
once a field of stars
burnt & fallen

my hearts softest beat
knowingly swallowed
by your deceit

#vss365 #crazed #knowingly

so tired
goodbyes
come quicker
pieces chipped
pried from my heart
meaning becomes mystified
clouding judgements
even truths cease
& flowers wilt
missing a
purpose

#vss365 #mystified

sliding losing grip
rain on mountainous terrain
hard to gain traction

#vss365 #mountainous #haiku

bouncy & flouncy
you know the type, petaled up
lace loose in the wind

#vss365 #bouncy #haiku

becoming flat
a floor without
a door
an effort to
survive, to find proof
that i'm
alive
enchantments
& other fanciful
things elude
in these
days of gray &
darkest nights
yet somehow, i do
still believe
in light

#vss365 #enchanted

disenchanted moon
moody illuminations
reticence in clouds

#vss365 #enchanted #haiku

miniscule
just a small
movement
a shift
these sour grapes
products of broken stones
griefs ugly face
this weakening
of fabrication
to tired to hold
or to have
just feeling
meh, sad
deplete
an unblooming

#vss365 #miniscule

sweet clematis dreams
mornings glorious kisses
under cotton skies

#vss365 #kiss

thanks Daniel🙂✨

a lacuna of time
becoming fluid
slipping from
the silvered moon
a breath exhaled
into space
surface tension breaks
ripples from
a dream
awake, love is never
as it seemed
stitched in dreams

#vss365 #lacuna

these aching bones
held tight
in a
shallow shell
