We, too, lessen and wane,
destined to give in and fade away,
ebbing while hoping not to evanesce,
flagging and withered on the vine.

That timid soul
in cold moonlight,
who a shelter weaves
with words of dark
and ethereal dreams,
never confessed
or forgotten;
that one, her noir
holds dear.

those bonny turns
still waiting for your gut
to finally spill over

π¨Moon by Arthur G. Dove, 1928, oil on board.
Pain, the raw prelude to insight, passes into memory; truth remains.

With every electric breath, our quest becomes creepier.
Maudlin minds, soon-to-be ghosts, ignore all warnings.
Cheery yellow bricks will not glaze over the road ahead.

My Wolf is a silver morning,
all sinews on fresh snow.
My Heart where it should be:
righteous only to you.
#poetry #poem
#noironthevine
A soul reaches out,
pouring words into bottles,
glass fingers set adrift
on a sea of empty virtues.
Silence is a hammerhead
waiting in the shallows,
wreck the only destination.
Still, the soul reaches out.

It's only in sinking,
obsessed by what fingers cannot hold,
that words surface raw at last;
one final, irrelevant triumph.

Let's be what we are. Safer that way.
Colder, too. But who wants to burn?
I'll stay with the wolves.
They bite with honesty.
We sit and we bleed.
A page you'll never see.

Our bodies all wired, circuits kissing, semiconducting chaos; electric noir.

KISS WAS THE WORD: 3 ONE-LINE POEMS
noironthevine.blogspot.com/2026/02/kiss...
Our twisted words.
Dark paradises
that will never
come to pass.
The only way we bleed.
All poets are vampires,
creatures of shadows
in love with the sun.

Once more, I burn.
You shy away.
Only to return,
to fall and decay:
The impossible orbit
of passion and disdain.

A digital image with a dark charcoal background and white serif text. At the top left is the date 'February 08, 2026'. Below it, the title 'FULL STOP' appears in all-caps, followed by a short horizontal line. The main body text reads: There was something dangerous in his pale, ironic smile. She did not see it. All the ellipses and misplaced apostrophes, the cacophony beneath each poem. She did not hear it. Now, it's too late, or too soon, all in-betweens forever gone. Poetry turned to prose, then to silence. But who cares? Seriously, who cares? She doesn't. Not anymore. The dead have no qualms. Full stop. Labels: Prose Poems by Cameron Elias

I search for your ghost in the most vulnerable corners;
old shadows that new flames have neglected to claim.

is it coming back?
the old devotion
minds adoring minds,
spinning worlds forever
close and out of reach
stellar reflections
truer than truth

Your wounded song,
the stellar siren
my soul follows;
pain-soothing
across memories
of dreams untold.

UNFATHOMABLE
Let's step into those dark woods of fearless want, mind on mind, ethereal and wild; black unicorns galloping in unfathomable visions.

THE HEART IS A SELFISH BEAST
I could have eased your aches or the world's; I chose yours. I chose you. I'm joking, of course. There was never 'a choice.' It's like Emily said, "the Heart wants what it wants" -- and nothing else, really.

"(...) Trade hungers. Give new meaning to old, empty words. Soothe untold #aches. I'd walk through fire by your side. Happily step into the unknown night. (...)"
