Time reveals to me my sorrow And still I cling to the breath We borrow I am grateful For this life I am thankful For today I am thankful For a chance At tomorrow #poetry #micropoetry #poems #shortpoems #gratitude #life #death

You remind me of the moon—bright and welcoming. Even in shadows, your beauty is felt.

"Her body is tea" Her body is scalding Aromatic Earthy, sweet, full-bodied Pour it over me Eviscerate my tongue Drink her to the last drop My mouth full of milk and honey My honey full of milk and mouth The cup now empty The clock strikes noon Same time tomorrow? #poetry #poems #micropoems

Death's heaving her scythe In the ides of November My heart dies with you #senryu #haiku #haikupoem #haikupoetry #poetry

No poem as pretty as you You twist my mind into morbid rings You have me wishing I could collect the eyes of men To take in the full frame of your beauty #poetry #micropoetry #blueskypoets

She's a thing of crystal An inconceivable fire i refuse to put out I would place her in the sky sit under shade of a low hanging tree I wouldn't burden her with the truth of my love I would watch her fill the tide of heaven I would worship her as the night worships the moon #poetry #poems #shortpoem

Your skin against mine leaves me as radiant with love as the moonlight. Even your shadow seems bright with sunshine. Even the dawn takes a lesson from you. #poetry #poems #shortpoems #micropoems #micropoetry

I think of time and all I've known My weathered heart–the bedlam sown Through rise and fall of endless stars My fairest love was you—by far If the sun could emulate your eyes, How bright the moon would burn the skies Although it lingers on your skin The source of beauty lies within #poetry #poems

A sweetness is derived by the hands of the clock—oh, my lacquered mouth, made sweet by the honey on your tongue. I am made blood and gold by your kiss. #poetry #poems #shortpoems #blueskypoets

Mi amor Mi luz de la luna Tú me transformas: Uña a garra Diente a colmillo Un hambre apaciguable En una hambruna implacable Tu vestido es mi némesis Una oposición a superar Si mis dientes no lo hacen pronto— Aprende el paladar de tu gusto— Puedo morir

Light filters through The weeping phyllodes Air snaps around The willow for a view Sun casts a shade Where the heart once glowed Time breaks my heart More than you #poetry #poems

There's the world again With its many sickled grief Clawing at my chest #haiku #senryu #poetry #poems

I try and try To pry myself away But the golden flakes Between the caverns Of your eyes Revive me I am the darkened valley You are the golden flood at dawn #poetry #poems #micropoems #micropoetry

The light of her eyes As sentient as the moon She speaks to me too #haiku #haikupoetry #haikupoem #poem #poetry

My poor love Crying herself into a pillow, wading through a deep river of viscous tears between us She's shaking with an otherworldly ache, Clawing at the wall And I, faithfully, behind her Cheeks of her rear Spread firmly Between my grip ⤵️ #poetry #poems #shortpoems #poet

You are fire I am paper Love keeps me Absent-mindedly Curious Of your touch #poetry #micropoems #poems

Love, my heart softens against the palette of your name. The trembling murmur in my chest resuscitates into a full, thundering drum. You speak and I am restored. #micropoetry #poetry #micropoem #poems

Sans honey and wine Their blood tastes so much sweeter Fertilize the land #poetry #haiku #haikupoetry #haikupoems #poems

Death becomes me Like a soft lacquer My body fervently Brush stroked By the bristles Of 10 000 knives Freeing me From myself Death becomes me And I am renewed For another season So it goes In this very way Until the season arrives When I become Death #poetry #micropoetry #micropoems #poems

The cancer eats from within The chemo gnaws At my mother's body From without The way I use grief To carve the body Of this poem To hide the immensity Of its shadow While a deep silence riots Within me My killing hands At the ready My joy will pay The price Of my failures #poetry

Your mouth is a great conch shell—purveyor of alluring elicitations Your lips against my ear— I hear the sounds of galaxies draped in the shoreline of a great and endless black ocean, bioluminescent and a pale glimmer of your sight 1 of 2

The hunting wolf— with gritted teeth, her fangs unsheathed by scent of flesh and forest leaves Low, fitful howls Drunk on lunar ecstasy Mistaking me for the moon #poetry #poems #shortpoems #moon

We sit Cross legged On an arrow of time Golden light breaches The perpetual edge Of distant memory The light scatters Into a sea of endless wanders We move through the sky Or maw of the abyss I don't know I have yet to see the dawn My gaze has been fixed to your eyes this whole time #poetry

May I speak to the matriarch The bridled one, The one pierced by tentacled venom Bring her to me, free of her looming shadows I fear my birth seeded her corrosion long ago, but I will face her Lend me a vision of the woman before the bones became her summer dress 1 of 2 #poetry #poems

#poetry #poems #love

Lucid days seem so elusive My own tongue, its speech now putrid Spits upon my own name, it's ruthless I try to free my voice, but I am fruitless Fuck the void and fuck these humans They can learn to speak in lumens Do not let them cause surrender Speak your voice with all its splendor #poetry

There are no vows sweeter than whispers on the breeze Your speech resembles the wind I'd rather die here in a flurry of your tempest rage Than live silent on a cloud flooded by golden hills #poetry #poems #shortpoems

Trill of the songbird hovers on the west wind; lantanas flower at the foot of the mountain While— Two Rotts make a bed in the grass As— The humans eat each other alive #poetry #poems #shortpoems

You were galaxies of enchantment Your smile was a swift dance of embers on the horizon Your eyes held more wonder than the sea You were a world of meaning but now You're just a thought that escapes me #poetry #poems #shortpoems

I want to sow my mouth shut— My words betray me 'Beautiful'? How disgusting How paltry in meaning I need a word full of conviction Certainty One never heard before by human ears I want to saw off the edges of my finger tips— They shame me They lack the skill They lack refinement ⤵️

I am sick of the moon and all of her lies Of her constant call—I unfold and I rise Pulling and swaying just To be at her side To then be cast on a run for her true love is the sun I despise myself—I am but a mere tide #poetry #poems #shortpoems #micropoems #blueskypoets

I feel a retreat in my bones, The abyss calling with rancor rattle, a shadow of clouds surround me like a blood curdling mist Veins burn with a fury All fury Only ever fury on my tongue No, that's wrong That's not her name I forget sometimes 1 of 2 #poetry #poems

Turn me into misery, Brand me with the arc prominence of the sundial I am a mosaic of tyranny a galaxy of terror a vaudeville of decadence, wearing the flayed face of the abyss as my own I am loved as the moon but just as empty, the light belongs to another 1 of 2 #poetry #poems

I'm always with you In the shine and on the breeze Do you feel me now? #haiku #senryu #poems #shortpoems #poetry

Broken hearted fool Fold back into the twilight No sunrise for you #haiku #senryu #haikufeels #poetry

This love cannot soar I'm only a memory A story to tell #haiku #senryu #haikufeels #poetry

I know the kingdom between tongue and teeth—beneath softened cheeks I know a taste sweeter than a saccharine dream She sounds the trumpet of the Devil's twisted tongue Yet I only know the taste of divinity against her spine 1 of 2 #poetry #poems #shortpoems

You take my breath away as gently as the leaf on the wind but I would empty my lungs if you asked You test the lock on my heart frequently I feel a fire building behind the wall If I could free myself, I would love you with the abundance of 200 billion galaxies #poetry #micropoem

I yearn for the one who speaks my silence Who knows my heart But I must burn in the fire of civilization Its smoke will always blind me Yet I know her by her laugh #poetry #shortpoems #micropoems

My mind is sprinting The heart slowly catching up All because of you #senryu #haiku #haikufeels #poetry

To know the wonders of your body The exquisite domain of your mind I would bring down the sun while still freshly wet from the making of love The golden orb would shine warmly against my learning of the shadows that mark your skin 1 of 2 #poetry #poems

Keep reposting! Tell the world!

I knew your heart once You're as an empty vessel now wrapped in my arms #haiku #senryu #poetry #shortpoems

I sought a great love from the mouth of a cannon Heartbreak blinded me The gods found me suckling on the bloodied breast of war #tanka #poetry #tankapoetry #shortpoems

#poetry #poems #poet

Engrave your beauty on my skin so I can feel when you aren't near me #senryu

War is all I'm good for She's taken up arms against me Against the tethering rope Against the wall Her war cries bang against the ear drum But my hands keep marching on Through every track and trench 1 of 2 #poetry
