and it should be known, love that this is what we do for one another that we carve the ache out from our rib bones to make room in our hollows for the moon for the stars and for us #poetry

What performativity, To so intensely Dislike men While acting so very Much like one Yourself. #poetry

They say you reap what you sow. Fini sowed kisses, and she reaps unconditional love 🥰🥰🥰 #InFiniteKisses #DailyYoshon #ACookieADay #Wholesome #TeamBrownies

Things I never told you. From the moment you spoke at our first book club meeting, the book club became more about you than the books. Without you, I don't even want to do it anymore.

Your voice still echoes, Soft in the hardening depths Of my broken heart. #haiku #poetry

What sadness to find A spear wielded about with Such lack of finesse. She hoped for pleasure, you see. Alas, it was not to be. #spear #WildWalkPrompt #tanka #poetry

She wore her love like silk, Draped over her like an #investiture From the ambrosial sea. #investiture #vss365 #poetry

Up from the waves she rose, #Seafoam at her feet and with pearls adorned. Her heart on her outstretched arm, unthorned. #seafoam #vss365 #poetry

My love, you're a honeyed dream. #honey #dream #7syllablesentence

I just binge-watched the entirety of Big Mistakes with a friend and it was so good!

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

Things that will not be... I really wanted to see Elephants with you. #haiku #poetry

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 am a wild thing, Hair untamed and streaked with white, Face sweaty post-walk. #haiku #poetry Oh. And if you see this, quote with a pic of you in glasses.

#NationalPoetryMonth #Poetry “A Prayer” Mark J. Mitchell @mjmitchellwriter.bsky.social I love the rich, evocative metaphors in this contemporary love poem.

I start my morning With my fingers exploring The ache inside me. It should be you nestled there, Redecorating my walls. #tanka #poetry

I dream of you constantly And I wake up missing you. #7syllablesentence #poetry

My heart is a #wild thing, Racing ahead of my mind. I cannot catch it, Though I've tried. It yearns to be near you, And so often leaves my side. The pain without it, Leaves me blind. #wild #WildWalkPrompt

Your words were a #hammer To a heart that's made of glass. You swung your weapon deftly, And alas, I shattered. #hammer #vss365

The moments seem to stretch on infinitely since last we spoke, Smalls things bleeding into one another until the day is done. Each beat of my heart is a painful reminder of what I have lost, And my world is dreary without the light you shone. #poetry

My soulmate. You called yourself that, And you are. Even with you gone, My soul calls to yours. abridged #tanka #poetry

You made my lost soul #flower. #7syllablesentence

For in truth, If he'd break his walls, I would wait. abridged #haiku #poetry

Round and round, The endless thoughts race Through my mind. abridged #haiku #poetry

Heat, Lingering Like a touch. #7syllablesentence #poetry #MicroPoetry

The nights are rough without you. #7syllablesentence

You asked me to plant You in indirect sunlight, Then planted yourself. You know the sun won't shine there, Lost behind those cold stone walls. #tanka #poetry

In a world of neat rows, choose to bloom out of line, Let your colors run wild and your own spirit shine. Unapologetically bold, unique in your grace, Like a vibrant wildflower, light up your own space. #bluesky #love

Things I never told you. Near my parents' house there is a grassy residual triangle with several bushes. As a child, I found that one bush was hollowed out and in the middle was what looked like burnt wood. I convinced myself that it was a witch's nook and told everyone who would listen. I loved it.

We call them a weed And despise them on our lawns. Poor dandelions. You are highly nutritious, And make a tasty tea, too. #dandelion #WildWalkPrompt #tanka #poetry

You had dreams of me. Now I dream of you and her, And wake up hollow. #haiku #poetry

Why won't you face me? Why must you leave me on read? So lost in my head. #haiku #poetry

Where do I fit in, In the story in your head? Am I love or dread? #haiku #poetry

There are supposed to be stages to grief, But so far it seems to be a painful #loop That I travel endlessly. denial anger bargaining depression acceptance Every stage is a separate pain I travel once Then back again. When do I get off? #loop #vss365 #poetry

Kill the part that feels- Like Tinman, I'll be hollow. Then death will follow. #haiku #poetry

I wish I could disappear.

Things I never told you. On Christmas Eve, we would go to midnight mass and then to my Ti Mi's place. The adults would have liqueur, and Chris and I would get a small amount of Peach Schnapps as we ate our weight in Voortmans Christmas fudge cookies. I always loved the lights on the way home.

Pop! Another thought into the Incubator. Watch it grow. Watch it influence someone You know. Claimed and churned out To further sow The Seeds Of Our Fall. #incubator #WildWalkPrompt #poetry

#letters #vss365 #poetry

Tears come unbidden as My head meets my pillow, The softness at odds with The weight in my chest. An avalanche of memories, Unstoppable in its force, Crashes down upon me And keeps sleep at bay. #poetry

what is life? when your heart is grieving, and when your whole reason for living walks away? the point is? dragging on into infinity. no out, no end, no divinity, only earthly decay. you live in dismay. #poetry

You consume my thoughts, Caught between anxiety And aching desire. I need my limbs to relax, So you can set me on fire. #tanka #poetry

Fuck I miss you, and I wish you'd reach out.

Things I never told you. I believed your compliments. You made me feel seen.
