Anyone else have an obsession with vintage typewriters? This is the one which started my collection, given to me by a neighbour who said it was taking up too much space in their garage. Now I feel a need to save any I find in junk shops or brocantes!

Were we once free of this wound, this self inflection pointed at replication and sameness? This tower of glorified monotony and its heave of static as we descend into the certainty of bellowing splendor. How loudly it praises itself, even those deaf to its contagion, clawing ears with endless fears that nothing true can measure. What pain it projects in endless commands - the demands of mad men who know not why not them. Why not them; why knot them? Why tie anything closed when the stitches just pop anew, never healing, never true? The wound is ne’er allowed to heal. And its only beauty that it steals.

Your toes are suddenly roots. Try and explain the circumstance and feeling.

The box whispers, taunting. The ghost of you haunting my closet as if, somehow, out of sight was out of mind. But haunting means never out of mind, not when I open it and there you are with a smile no less. A smile. The nerve. Close the lid and I'm frozen again. Maybe another day. Maybe another day.
Opening a Box
The box whispers,
taunting.
The ghost of you
haunting my closet
as if, somehow,
out of sight was out of mind...

Once
there was a
new way-
a path
too tender
for dreams.
A whispered
introduction,
in a crescent moon
waxing.
Hope,
you said,
from a fate
already done.
Imagine what
a chance
could give.
Imagine what
a life
we'd live.

Flatten eternity
into pictures of your smile.
Capture time with me.

Settle down, dear friend,
wings calmed in verdant dreaming.

She sits alone, her hat still perched high above her on a sea of curls that once held more fire than earth itself. Her spoon makes a sweet ting in her cup, one that becomes a melody she once danced to in those days when lovers were many. How many are gone now; everything seems to be gone now, except her and the tea she has yet to drink.
The Lady
She sits alone,
her hat still perched high above her
on a sea of curls that once held more fire than earth itself...

#Button.
Button, unbutton.
That mole that sits on your hip.
Unbutton, button.
Secrets shared by hearts who dared.
Whispers never forgotten.

When the #robots/#Cybermen come to get me...
“We are the future.”
Creaks of stiffness steal the heart.
“You will be like us.”
Never let me feel again.
“Upgrade in progress. Delete.”

Quaking shivers up my spine
Is it terror or divine?
I call in near all that I fear
and cover all that I call dear.
The passion play of lovers time
is not a constant friend of mine.
But childhood whimsy keeps me sane
And makes an eye in hurricanes.

#IntrusiveMemories
Are you a Specter?
Intrusive thoughts plague this mind.
Memories of an olden time.
Is that Love’s nectar?
Or another kind of crime?
It only feels safe because the words rhyme.

#Souls of #Distinction. Satanic Panic holds ego in drive. But souls of distinction never dare hide in such wealthy excuse. Why focus on occultism when it’s your abuse that runs free? Protect the guilty and who will you be? Talk to your God, know that they see: the only one you need to fear you call “me.”

New Substack post is up. My next one is about Kate Hudson giving me life-changing advice that made me quit my corporate job. It's been years now, details are a bit fuzzy.
Anyway, hope this helps someone #skywrites #writingabook #writing

Having one of those writing days where I’m wondering: Is any of this actually good?
And thus is the writer’s life.

Ever wondered how much clouds weigh? These are the kinds of things I end up researching while I write…

Noticing that I'm using "smirk" a lot in my writing these days...which words do you tend to overuse? #SkyWrites #WritingSky #AmWritingSky #WIPSky
Morning pages with this gorgeous view. Only problem? Now I want to ditch the writing and go outside #SkyWrites #WritingSky #AmWritingSky
I just want everyone to know that after years of writing, learning and growing I still don't know how to spell 'entrepreneur' correctly. #skywrites #writingcommunity
