if i’m broken then i am broken

love is a powerful writer
heartbreak is a masterful writer

we’ve all had a stab in the back like @metallica.com removing the #bass from Justice with no word.

we’ve all been Jason with friends like James at one point or another.

the #mundane removes itself
for my path to clear to
new interesting iffy decisions.

abject fallacy
i try to find your beauty
within the briar emptiness
you call a chest

panic #pixie night mare
love of my slumber
heart smotherer

i will travel
oceans of time
to escape you.

eyes
not far from the blue
of a #sapphire, the ones
who’d seen me most;
now, look through me
hoping i’ll have been
a fever dream.

they do not look for me
i try not to look for them.

i sit alone, perched like
a #sparrow on a branch
chirping his song
to any passerine passerby -
hoping one day
one would perch by his side
and sing with him.

#poetry #joetry #writingcommunity #skywriters #birds #lovepoems

#vss365

i helplessly #deviate
to other routes.
from smothered roots
in love covered boots.

crish crush crunch
all hearts become
one of the bunch.

my love has moved on
without me.

my hope is they're moved
as much as they deserve.

my dread is wondering why
i can't stop giving a fuck.

i walk toward the

how tiring it is
for the forces of others
to be like a #vortex
into the whirlpools of madness
they don’t care
to control.

a poem that went missed when i first wrote started putting collections together. i wrote this like right before i started throwing my first collection “Relax / Relapse” together. i was so in love then. SO in love.

by Michel Lafontaine (artbymeesh)

you know in #movies when a character asks another “have you ever been in love”?

… no one would EVER have to ask me that lmfao. fr talk to me for 2secs; fuck it, just hear me breathe & you’d tell i’m a #hopelessromantic

the fact i’ve been eyes wide
for more than two consecutive sunsets?

my #eclipse
my shadows
my veil
my mirage
my life

my heart’s citadel
is built of #scars..
& hope.

it keeps my
dumb
bright-future eyes
whimsical..
as they do their
best to go blind

but, they should know
they are too beautiful
for that.

perseverance is so this season
i think i’ll dress myself in fashion

#poetry #joetry #writingcommunity

#vss365

i wear the #pallor of the moon
when my heart starts to swoon
for another’s soul.
my heart never learns, you see;
and, according to my history -
neither do i.

this isn’t right.. I place the blame on a wrench in the gears that’s been destroying us for years and I hope maybe you will too. rebuilding a consistency is nothing short of miraculous but the love and patience we promised was kidnapped by malice when we invited the vice back in. we move flawlessly together when our grooves are smooth present and understanding but, our old selves will always bring out hell if we throw away the control we were becoming so proud to have learned. in clarity we know how to truly love. i just think we never gave our new time a real chance but maybe there was more learning to do to make sure we knew how to really make this whole damn thing beautiful. i love you. if you still love me then that’s all that really matters.

Maybe All We Needed Was More Time Apart

#happiness… is not a dish that i can eat.

with only a faint #trace
of their embrace
left to my grace -
i’m misplaced,
without a face
and close to erased.

#poetry #joetry #poetsofbluesky #skywriters #writingcommunity

#vss365

my dreams have them
looking at me, and giving me
a chance to explain myself.

an #elegy for the hexed
the ex’d
the vexed
in hopes to put this to rest.

but those beautiful brown eyes
filled with distain
those will always remain.

it’s okay, i get it.

a high schooler
in their brand-new
store-bought
#nirvana tshirt
has no clue
this is how the good life
in terrible times
begins for everyone
in the scene.

#free?

i almost don’t even
recognize the word
let alone it’s feeling.

my skin peels like cheap paint
as i keep scratching
the itch.

the flutter #returns
my guts are butterflies
my body is a sanctuary
and all of the colours
of their beautiful wings
look like you
