In her waning quarter, the moon cradles all that steadies me. The grace of the earth gathers me into its embrace, and I surrender to its ancient tenderness.. Nothing asks to be explained— The night breathes in quiet hymns, the soil remembers my name, and the wind carries what words cannot. #Self

My feet rooted in the living earth, my spirit lifted toward that solitary eye, whose diminishing light reveals what abundance so often conceals. I learn that every fading is another way of becoming eternal.

Between the end of something and the beginning of something better, there is a moment where life learns to speak itself anew.

#InkMine #exit Not sure how he got Into this mess But his foot was Secured in his mouth Looking for the quickest exit Didn’t care how it seemed He just needed to fade away

patiently looking for an exit; clear waters #vss365 #patient #InkMine #exit #Haiku #micropoetry #micropoem

There have been times in life where I've faced an exit sign flashing in vivid neon to stay or go the conundrum & my instinct is to run, avoid catastrophe. But this door is welcoming spelling- entrance in gentle, pastel lettering & my instinct is to run as fast as I can into your arms. #inkmine

With only the single candle flame, the animals took on horrific shapes. They loomed in the darkness, with only the occasional flash of a tooth or claw or wing. She stepped gingerly onto the platform, feeling it give slightly, and walked around the carousel. #InkMine

#InkMine #vivid Have you ever had a dream so vivid you swore it was real? With colors so bright People so real You could feel their touch Swear that you knew them Then you wake up confused Not knowing where you are

They would have us toiling constantly minds wound up in the perpetual buzz paid by the movement, unpaid in the movements between, that restful breath, that glance at the pretty girl, she doesn’t know your name yet, be #patient life will wait until after your shift #vss365 #poetry #InkMine

Iced in Maine You cannot wash away the stain of what you've done. Blood, tears, fears- the life gone was far better than yours. Who are you to do what you have done? Just a weak man with a gun.

If we were meant to fly we would have been born with wings. #DefyDogma

This Day in #History 1938 Douglas "Wrong Way" Corrigan arrives in Ireland after a 28-hour flight, supposedly leaving New York flying for California.

The fear in my mind was my demise But in a moment of silence I heard the love in my heart And still to this day I rise For as long as the Earth Is warmed by the Sun I will endeavour To pass my love on So we can all #conquer fear One heartbeat at a time #vss365 #poetry

A conjuring of starlings descends upon fresh cut grass at dusk The starry mass eagerly plucking leatherjakets from their earthy slumber in a frantic black storm Then the cloud suddenly lifts The flock depart leaving a murmuration on my lips a swooping swirl dancing in the sky #vss365 #depart

I was awake— just barely, and it was a nightmare inside of my head. I could have sworn I pulled your hand over my heart and told my body to melt the grief back into love. #Poetry #BlueskyPoetry #Dreams #SkyPoet

Just ordered my proof for the paperback copy of Blood Sisters! It will be so cool to have the book in front of me IRL! And I’ve already received two great reviews for the book! :) #proofcopy #indieauthor #bloodsisterssaga #queerauthor #booksky

I wrote this after my daughter was born. She had to stay in neonatal intensive care for about a week, but everything turned out ok 💝 #poem #grief #birth #birthday #child #love

I’m drawn into just this bed where I might be desired but am currently afloat, drifting toward darkness though my toes reach for light and my heart sticks in my throat hoping I don’t swallow despair #sensewrds 242 #poetry

traveling forward through folded parchments the sum of bequeathed parts by sacred trees and borrowed from some twine stitched onto the rim of my skull where lost gardens dwell and greet the survivors of the weeds in this root work #micropoetry #poetry #writerslife

I don’t share often I’ve kinda #conquered that need… At least, for the time being… For, external validation seems Like the trappings of a coffin… Leaving me buried…unable to breathe… Boxed beneath a flurry Of opinions that only help me grieve The death of my own individuality… #vss365 #poetry

What if that house on FOSTER ROAD only looks empty? It's time for new #horror from author Thomas Muller. #NewBook #NewRelease #horror #ReadingCommunity #Read

My father had a box full of wolves teeth and stopped watches, another he claimed held the four winds. He’d put me on his shoulders saying that he was a ship of the line, the wooden wall, and I was his main sail and north star. Together we collected rain and melted into stone #poem #poetry

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.

Dreams of laughing faces, nights of dancing, sharing food, holding hands, hugging, watching movies, sending silly GIFs fade like the sunset #poetry

shadowed etchings write a story in my flesh only then do I stand alone delving into the black and blue as jagged erasures scrape the bleeding dark honoring my existence as blustery conditions wait for the ash to paint the walls #poetry #writerslife
