This is something I NEEDED to write after the scary and self-destructive headspace I've been in recently. #poetry #vss365 #feral #hope #revovery

I always look up, From the #feral mundanity, Of my gravitational prison, To the peace, And the freedom, Of the skies above. I may not have wings, But I have my dreams, And the sky is mine, When I sleep. #vss365

Once dull aches that slithered around the ribs will become luminous canaries that perch on life's veins and chirp tunes to which even a vow of silence will break just to sing along. #poetry #vss365 #luminous #art

Something I wrote in a pretty rough and exhausted headspace #poetry

The push and pull has tired me to the point of unalloyed indifference so my body crumbles on the interstate and whether my life is splattered across miles of gray or I just become a mild annoyance to passerby, it doesn't matter to me either way. #vss365 #unalloyed #poetry

I'm pretty proud of this one, tbh! #vss365 #diligence #poetry

Just a reminder that even the weights we own are fleeting as scabs. #vss365 #fleeting #poetry #haiku

a door somewhere is always opening loosening against its frame light slips in resting on something touching what had waited finding hands faces gone pale with half light until we are seen with the right eyes not as we hide but as we are changing flowing fleeting whole #vss365 🎨 hèléne bélene

Sand is shed from an exhausted third eye as a rotted limbic system tries to cope with the past it's been dealt, the present it tries to blind, and the future it tries to forget. #poetry

I'm haunted by the weeping of proximity. I block it out for now and let the sounds of hollow ownership slither around my boiling bones as I swish trauma in a tumbler and debate on downing every drop or sitting it down with a neutral sigh. #vss365 #haunted #poetry

To scratch the itch of existence is to shed blood. Our scabs laugh like youth. #poetry #haiku #senryu

Dreams incomplete coat Tonight’s stems and careen down, Dewdrops of hope splashed #haiku #poetry #micropoetry #vss365 #dewdrop #notahaiku

All this begatting and begetting awash in the fundamental forgetting of winters just passed and springs just springing. April’s hallelujah of re-creation intones warming air saturated in pheromones.

I'm not sure if this will make sense to anyone but this was healthy for me to write so I guess it doesn't matter lol. #vss365 #doves #poetry

This is as much a piece of self-reflection as it is a reflection on American society as a whole. #poetry

To patch this bleeding heart with concrete is to let life pass by like the celebration I never notice while my fist clenches around the lily that only wanted to bloom. #poetry

inside the breezy lull, walk away the painful; nothing yet to collapse one step away — relapse. head above head held high; thoughts pressed across evening sky. dear love, I’m not alone; forwarded a life all my own. the spirits here, the spirit left — exhale, my final breath. #vss365 #OurpoetryX

#vss365 #dear #poetry

My fingerprints are branded on a neck the connects a dirty window to a grey universe. I incriminate myself with every morning that I purge from my eyes and every night is a reminder that not even childhood games can go unscathed. #poetry

When we meet in purgatory that's flooded with the irritation of two eternities, will our hands entwine like serpents who have only known solitude or will we forget one another with our heads held high, wishing we could hang them in grief instead? #poetry #art #digitalart #glitchart

I refuse to take criticism from someone who uses AI to make their art. Human art will always have flaws in it. And that's why it's infinitely better.

While our trauma is not our fault, healing is 100% our responsibility. The sooner we realize this and start taking those steps, the more our world can become closer to paradise. #vss365 #name #emoetry #flattered #poetry #art #glitchart

Rain and it will come, as tenderness will come, across the grey width of the unbothered sea, to lay its silver mouth against the hillside and whisper, “I was here before your name, and I will be.” #vss365

Ngl, I'm pretty proud of this one (both the poem and the glitch art.) I needed to write an inspiring poem today. I hope it helps you as well! 😊 #poetry #vss365 #lion #emoetry #empty #art #glitchart

An uplifting piece for you and I! #poetry #vss365 #emoetry #art #glitchart

Break free of their chains We are not #dichotomous We are anything #haiku #vss365 #poetry

We contain storms, clouds that gather and grumble. Fierce lightning bolts that can illuminate for a brief moment. We can be both fear and radiance. Sunshine and shadow. We can shine in the darkest places and help the smallest things grow. We can weather things together.. #vss365 lightning

After a while of writing A LOT of dark stuff, I've written something somewhat cozy (I think lol) #poetry #vss365 #lightning #art #glitchart

It wasn't a casual glance it was fire dressed as poetry smoke choking the unnoticed #OurPoetryX

signs of Spring shadows circling above the treetops

I've recently been struggling with chronic health issues and the apathy\incompetence of some doctors. #emoetry #poetry #art #glitchart

HAPPY WORLD PENGUIN DAY!

I shake hands with the psychopomp that's been stalking me since I learned the definition of silence. We have a discussion of absurdism over a cup of decaf coffee and they start to shake when they realize that Hell has banned me and Heaven doesn't know I exist. #vss365 #psychopomp #poetry

A thousand cats scratching my heart Does it mean I am in love Your presence gentle on my skin Makes me burn madly deep within My mind goes numb but heart beats fast I'm breathing slowly fearing scars Yet hope prevails and one more time I'm gonna trust this heart of mine #vss365 #cats

after hours party the evening’s final act psychopomp #vss365 #senryu

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't posted my normal daily poem. I'm exhausted today and under some emotional duress so I just haven't have the strength to write one. But I'll be okay and hope to get back to it soon.

All of my strange parts don't marry together well glue never quite gelled. #haikufeels #marry #senryu #haiku

A pulse in the hollow, Unbound and alone. The dreamers shadow, In a house of no stone. #ও☉❢☉✑ #poetry #writing #micropoetry #blueskywriters #writingcommunity

I wrote this one about the the emotional dangers of cliques (especially those kept by grown adults) #vss365 #wolves #emoetry #reinforced #poetry #art #glitchart

I think one of the reasons we've become so depressed and lonely is that social media has given us inflated self-importance while diluting what true friendship should be. #poetry #emoetry #perplexed #vss365 #jade

#vss365 #jade glows quietly, coolly it is stone mirroring stars

I've been pounding my fists against the cement grain for so long that even my scabs have become empowered. #poetry #art #glitchart

I may get raked over the coals for this one but oh well lol. While cancel culture does have a valid place (for abusers and those who chronically hate those different than them for no reason) I feel it's definitely become toxic and overdone for people just being human and making mistakes. #poetry

When I was younger (and MUCH angrier) I would frequently write what Bob Dylan might refer to as "finger pointing" poems and what I currently refer to as "f**k you in particular" poems. I've cut back on them as I've mellowed out but I was recently brought back to that space for the one. #poetry

An investiture of a promise will usurp the loathing of a billion years. I'm replacing gravity with a heart that beats colors no creature has ever seen so that those at my table and those beyond that nibble scabs may see how it feels to wear a shared crown. #vss365 #emoetry #poetry

Investiture of the heart in a life of art ends with laying bared. #vss365 #investiture #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @brooksiesbooks.bsky.social
