Screenshot of poem titled: OSCILLATIONS.

Writhing, howling succubus trapped in man flesh,

paint your icon over your hell, my dull face.

Such euphoric portraits negate despair's brawn.

Choke us in rapture.

Let your angel watch as we dance around threats.

When her feather brushes your shrouded horn tip,

frantic, fevered arias press our rash needs 

over my cautions.

You can love her, knowing she'll quit this town soon.

Any rising streams can recede before waves

drop electric eels in our rusty nail bed.

Dullness prevails, then.

Poetry often breathes life into the chaotic beauty of our sleeping minds.

By venturing into the subconscious, we capture the fleeting images and raw feelings that stay hidden behind the veil of logic.

French people do care… they’re just born with a kind of insouciance and a Gallic shrug.

When you see it from a boat on the water, you’d never guess Peggy Guggenheim’s Venice home hides a world-class art collection.

Golden leaves fall like whispers of goodbye,
Yet in their dance, new dreams begin to rise.
Through autumn winds, a quiet hope takes flight,
That love will bloom again in springtime light.

I used to think
love would complete me.
Now I see
it meets me where I am whole.

A screenshot of a notes app note, which reads:
30 Days of Sonnets: Day 11
But just before I close my eyes in death
I'll look over the life that I have lived:
The loved ones that I leave with my last breath,
The deeds I've done, and all I've left behind.
I wonder what that future me will find,
Taking the weight and measure of her life:
Was she remembered fondly? Was she kind?
Did she succeed where her ambition led?
And will she face oblivion with dread,
This me-to-come mere moments from her end,
Or will I, lying in my final bed
Find comfort in my mental epitaph?
And from these musings stems a simple plan:
To live without regret as best I can.

Day 11 of #30DaysOfSonnets: for today's sonnets I took the first line for a poem by @jessicajocelyn.bsky.social as inspiration (I saw it shared on my Discover feed Nd thought I'd saved the post, but apparently not) #PoetrySky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

I would rather it be rain
that way I would not feel

I’ve been reading May Swenson’s work sporadically for a long time now, and every time I go back to it, I’m reminded of how remarkable her use of enjambment was.

Shall we fly away to a castle in the sky
Where sunshine warms our very souls
We can watch the clouds roll by all day
And gaze at stars all night

Mōrena e te whānau, a lone magpie is singing on the roof but the other day this was what I saw and heard:

trilling magpies five
welcome daybreak with their song
neighbourhood alarm

Our magpies in Aotearoa seem to be more chill than their Aussie cousins.

Rebuilding the Temple

As I remodel my old self
I'll start just below the surface 
Scraping, scratching, clawing
Digging down deep 
Into my mind's dark corners,
Clearing narrow, cluttered passageways, 
Tidying the unkempt, abandoned chambers,
And dusting unnagivable twisted staircases 
Until I've found myself again
There among the rubble
Will you find me desirable?
Even as this disheveled heap
Maddeningly redraws fantastical battle lines
Creates these cork board red string conspiracies
To send armies of imaginations
Like a desperate despot of despair
Will you love me still as I rebuild this temple?
