I want to read her body like braille. Conduct her moans like an orchestra. Swirl her on my palette like a food critic. Read her mind page for page like my favorite book. All of this and would still feel gluttonous for her.

image and verse: a woman's face painted in color

reflections of love

even the painted skies
of dusk and dawn,
fade to pale
beside love's endless palette

Should old age temper my spirit, may death be a culling for my poor memory. Let it restore me to my primitive nature.

Forget storms and fire
Clear sky smile all certainty
Ocean is the moon

Moonlight paints sweet dreams
in phases vast and varied.
Beaming hope and love.

what if heaven is a state not a place, a “when” not a “where”…

I sit and stare into wildernesses unknown,
that matted tangle of my own making,
that web woven by spiders from mars.
What majesty life imbues in things unseen,
what method life imbibes with the promise of dreams.

"I want to bloom" - a truth a flower must claim before it can meet its petals.

#poeticthoughts

Tender is the broken heart.
For though it cannot find tenderness,
it still dares to feel.

A seed whispers of forests yet to come 🌱.
A word carries worlds yet to be written ✍️.

What forests are you planting with your words today?

Another poem for today...

being someone's dream is a precarious occupation.

Incidental Mockery of the Swallow’s Tail Light’s vague in obscured night Pull it closer, lock it tight The birds won’t hit the ground ‘Til reflection makes them found The grip is getting more oppressed From improvisational skill The more the heart is self obsessed the more it seeks the thrill Denying what surrounds Makes self seem profound But the script is never right It can’t follow what takes flight The night is getting you possessed By a dream you never sought But what if all that happiness Was more than just a thought Nature in its will Says just sit right still Listen to the mind The truth is rarely kind The rear of accidentally Is recognition of the mess Your mockery of what you’d be ends with me When you halt the meaningless

Incidental Mockery of the Swallow's Tail

This one just came today, then I messed around with it.

A timeless apolitical poem

Emotional Landscapes: Poetry of the Months Photo by Alina Chernii on Pexels.com Months are more than markers on a calendar — they are moods, atmospheres, and emotional landscapes. To name a month in a poem is to summon a season of the soul. September can be wistful, November weary and reflective, April tender with fragile renewal. Each carries a music all its own. In poetry, months allow us to write about time in miniature.

September spreads shadows
November dreams,
and April unearths what we’ve buried.

A reflection on the mythic rhythm of months —
and how time becomes emotion in poetry.

A reflection on the modern paradox: where sweet lies often nourish relationships, and bitter truths, though honest, are too heavy to hold. This thought speaks to the emotional complexity of today's connections—where being real can sometimes push people away, and pretending can pull them closer.

#"Strange are the ways of love—where lies bloom affection, and truth burns bridges."#😇
