what once was symphony
became dissonance
black clouds leak their melancholy
pelting at the windows
soaking to the bone
uncertainty marrs the days
but i hold on to the sunrise
seeking new horizons
and for #harmony once more

Dan Simmons has passed.
The Shrike has claimed its maker
With sharp compassion.

Radio waves lapping
at the shores of my soul
attuned with a tune
so, so achingly -
beautifully close
the hour turns
distress signals ignored
the storm swells
What once were
gentle waves

Quiet precise snow
Harboring all winter dreams
Hold the sun inside
#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #poetrt #poem #winter
They've said that everybody wants to rule the world
Yet that seems so cold
The feelings and passion
All gone
Devoid
If i had that power
In the end
I can only control my life
And thats all I desire
I know that its best to let go
And not control
The world

Calm and at peace
The silence of my heart
Let it be
Leave it be
Tomorrow is another day
I rest in the moonlight
Waiting for the sun
When its back
I'll find my way
Onward back home
Beyond eternity

Triage Stained with the sin of the monsters because every time one emerges giving in to monstrous urges the claw marks gouged into our parks chalkboards smiling faces guts twist, hoping this one, this time doesn’t share a thing with me beyond a heart that beats a name a flag a kind before I can return to the hard work of this never-ending mourning living under a dire warning next one, yours or mine? —J.A.Miller
Triage

Let the sunshine be
A sign of better things to
Come your way each day
#haikufeels (let) #haiku #poetrt
Life is looking up for me
Things are resolved
I still stay caucus
A desire to not have things go wrong
Yet a part of me stays ready
Incase it does
But for now I rest
I'll enjoy the passing moments
But whatever happens happens

A little thread - 1 of 3
“Chant of the Certain”
Don’t put
doubt in the corner.
Don’t let
“maybe” survive.
We’re armed to the teeth
with our story,
And only the sure
shall thrive.
The future flowers
Regardless of your waiting
The bloom will open
And pollen will fall
Because it was watered
Will it be more beautiful
Catching daylight
If your hand tips the water
Will it wilt in the heat
If you let it wait for rain

Heartless
the best part is I no longer feel
not nothing
never
since that day when you took it all
everything
ever
slicing out my heart in raw pieces
unsheathing
sever
grinding it up with your laughter
and seething
whatever
leaving only this jagged scar
bequeathing
me forever
my exile

Imagine tagging #poetru
It isn't hard to do
The u was sitting there
Wanted to get clicked
Jealous of the y, my guy?
Why'd they put U there?
Oh #poetru I don't know you
I just feel like I belong
With all the other
Spelling fuck ups
Cheers to all the times we had
I think it's been a few
Adieu

My jealousy today Seeing the way the world owns you Your nose is your father’s Your mother, your furrowed brow The shadow your brother occupies The smile you dole on your public face The rain running through your hair The worms that await And even the Sun takes your eyes I fear nothing will be left But a moonlit silhouette the soft curve of your cheek Summer peach, I claim that as mine Villains! Everyone and I Have rent you to bits Forgive us taking you Rescind us, our stake Conquests we stole in a craze Leave us with no more than gratitude Should you merely grace our sight Yet still, in night’s disguise In a whisper to myself I recite a plea of, “mine” -J.A.Miller
My jealousy today

Take it as it happens.
Another passing day.
The tea kettle is empty.
Not a shutter from the fridge.
The ambiance of utilities,
Keep me grounded.
As I think and drift off,
To daydreams.

A heart shaped leaf going brown on a shabby chic white table.
Love …
Her Lust for love
Her Need for love
Her Insatiable appetite
For that honeymoon phase love
Left her forever …
Lonely
Searching
For Love
