True. Borders are tricky.
Boundaries often flex and bend

Her beaten fingers
push endlessly against the keys
playing like it’s the only way out

“I always tell the truth
even when it painful.”
I lied to the mirror

Deflate this pressure.
Clear out the weather.
Sand off the desert.
until I’m forever dust.

Radio silence
She failed to understand
What turned the dial
#haikufeels #writingprompt #fail #poem #poetrycommunity #poetry #shortpoetry
She bound down the path
Big, buoyant, bouncing boobies
Bobbing in their cups

Lost and lonely hat
What minds did you once hold close
In your dark embrace?

slowly tiptoeing
around what we mean to say
time to step on it

Some need a little.
Some need a lot, and a bit more.
We all need each other.

I am but
the nobody you
thought you knew.
I am but
the listless eyes
that watch you pass by.

It might look fragile,
precarious, unstable.
To us - the finch

Que el silencio
llene tu boca de pus,
y no salgan más sonidos
ni más estruendos degradantes
ni la historia deformada
a tu comodidad.
#poesíamatutina #lunes #monday #shortpoetry
La mano entre buganvilias
emerge rosada,
pero no tanto.
Tal vez nunca sea flor.

a #poem I wrote
Tear open my chest and whisper to my heart
Set free the butterflies that
hold me back
And let me flutter
Hope grips your hand
And my trust is all yours
See
It hurts when I fall
So Please
don’t let go

Calm waters.
Closed sails.
Empty posts drift by—
virtual ghost ships.

orbital silence
circling what we mean to say
no safe landing zone
hearts in a holding pattern
neither of us touching down

a stellar love story—
their fiery passion shines
long after they’re gone

Dying snow
the snow breathes wetly,
crushed by the weight
of cold indifference—
the sun offers warmth
and final rites
