Conceal your hues if you need to, but not from me— I see your colours shine like iridescent irises in sunlight hide your truths if you please, but not from me— I want what's real & messy protect your heart, but not from me— I hold it close, more precious than my own. #faesense #iridescentirises

When I'm perplexed by life hurling stones, I rifle through them for calming jade then decline all the sharp ones I can— throwing them back. Still some jagged edges tear, & those scars I wear proudly, like stylish tattoos inscribed on my soul— no longer quite pain so I won't forget I survived.

The sign said straight ahead but we still walked a crooked path finding side roads where there were none, winding our way around mountains of our own making, ignoring all the markers of danger knowing in the end, it mattered more that we'd made the journey   together. #mpprompt

Evening Stillness The evening settles round To seek the lion’s ground, His stillness most profound. The glow shows calmer face As if to find its place Within a state of grace. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #wildlife #animal #photooftheday #Photography #blueskyphoto #photo #blueskypoetry #lion

Her lonely poems somehow found his forlorn soul ending two sorrows #DailyHaikuPrompt #lonely

The lines blur between my dreams and reality each time you kiss me. #haikufeels #blur #senryu #haiku

Feelings stab like the sharp horn of a karkadann here again— lost in the undersea flow of nostalgic memories, thinking I won't drown any joy they bring is brittle, yet the pain seems eternal better to stay rooted in the physical, the here & now— solid, real away from the past's fickle appeal.

like the wounded i could crawl the slope of your heart curling my spine against the hollows palms cupped mouth mapping skin flitting between dream and reverie as winds stir and gather stealing my heart fraying then binding into you. #writing #poetry

The jolt of your touch reverberating bone deep love resurrected #haikufeels #jolt

There's a path for us that is hopeful, where we get to live the life we dreamed & another where we grow weary, forgetting all we were meant to be— & we don't know which is which— so why not abandon all the paths we could tread? Soar higher, to a place the very Fates can't reach. #inkmine

Oh, my dear lilac your lavender sweet fragrance nostalgia blooming #haikufeels #bloom

I don’t have an ocean but a field of prairie grass where the wind paints waves we can sit at its edge in silence and ponder why the sun always rises but love doesn’t always stay #sensewrds 210

There is certainty in the way a wave returns to shore in how the night gives way to day in the beauty of lilacs in May and so it seems fair to say, that while my mind may drift away— it will surely return, time & time again to dreaming dreams of you. #sensewrds 210

i'd kind of like to get to know you... experience how the wavelengths of the universe bend around your smile...

Moments, tiny gardens in her palm. #sixwordpoem #poem #poetry #blueskypoets 📷 Pixabay

my body trembles under your touch even as the ground crumbles beneath my feet, even as dark clouds gather— i want to lay my body against the wound and feel where the lightning leaves the skin. #writing #poetry

@thebrokenspine.co.uk #PoemsAbout #Gravity #Poetry I couldn't write anything new, but this is one written a while ago that never found a home. I've updated it slightly, it sort of fits, and @oyoguhito.bsky.social poem put me in mind of it.

Monochrome Geometry A line of pure design That mocks the careful plan Escapes the board's confine. Zebra, negative space, A mirage in the dust, Moves with a knowing grace. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #wildlife #animal #photooftheday #Photography #blueskyphoto #photo #zebra #blueskypoetry

I looked in the mirror today & she looked back at me— she didn't like what she saw it wasn't the wear per se or that tiredness about the eye— but more the diming of my light, like a room with curtains drawn in day time. She didnt smile at me & so I didn't, in reply. #mpprompt

I want to be wild as the rolling ocean but I am listless as seafoam, tired from crashing over & over am I justified then in hugging the shore? seeking safety & comfort over adventure reading the signs of my restless soul, the answer seems no yet she's moored on the beach unless I set her free.
