"I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude." Henry David Thoreau Walden, 1854

Outside winds beat at the walls in howling rage Inside dim lights in long halls shudder and fade

I am unspoken in your silence unseen in your absence and drowned in the water you walk on

“You can spend the entire second half of your life recovering from the mistakes of the first half.” Saul Bellow Seize the Day, 1956

Only the silence Only the darkness Why was I there for? Why were they there for? Died like a moment Gentle like kindness

i let words be now, i let them be a gentle rain, i let them be a rough storm

her moonlight adorns midnight boughs hanging beneath stars onyx woods and shy galaxies; ancient souls and twilights glow gold shimmering lost sunsets of lust

A sky not dark, but absent. A house not empty, but waiting. A wind not blowing, but howling in despair.

#journeying into the abyss of your eyes I swallowed it, your ache, Your endless, raw ache, crashing through me like thunder, until it became mine Solitude, a wound, no one sees A cry, no one wants to hear #vss365

Again, the ocean. Longing for its waves from a distance, golden light of setting sun pouring over us. Regretful I didn't love it enough.

Dark skies hide black wings and crashing waves drown the broken beat of breaking hearts

scoop me up, dear gathering dusk, enshroud me with your capes of ether

November and nothing is forever

so much forgotten love inside so many pages

You can love someone deeply and still not be the one who fills their heart.

am i who you think of when it rains

if you listen carefully enough, some nights you can hear stars making wishes upon your heart

Find me out here with the granite, the tall trees and the echoes.

I cannot carry this for you.

losing my words and my breath to you under the stars

love looks like you

Death is the answer to your question.

was it real if we never touched

I made myself hollow and filled it with nothing

Light bleeds as the sun falls and the sky bruises with soft blooms of night

And she glows

Her voice, I imagine, is like a fleeting touch between strangers in a crowd. Fingers brush together, and a smile is shared before the momentum of the world sweeps it away forever. #writing

I need to be me but different

Old world love runs in my veins like a curse

How can I let go of so much and still have not disappeared

Lower your voice lower lower slow your heartbeat slower slower #poem #poetry #write #writing

The wolves are coming snapping snarling no hiding place in darkness darling #poem #poetry #write #writing

You didn’t tell me you loved me when you loved me so I turned myself into this #poetry #writing

Unraveling slowly like the fraying threads of a knotted strand.

A woeful soul, a wayward heart.

Falling, falling just like the leaves.

Pale stars and fading skies #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

finding balance

Alone in the cold dark, whispers drown in soft rainfall. Day breaks too soon, swollen eyes squeeze. Unlucky weeks pass, the quiet perfumed by his voice. Broken strands of dialogue hang like obscure spiderwebs. Her absent smiles forget themselves. Haunted. His home is in her mind. #vssGhostTales

Every pretty thing you’ve said to me, is sitting in my mouth like a promise

The storm who loved the sea #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

Such a cruelty to remember home but not the way back #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

An eclipse of sorrows

One more face in the darkness
