sundered in her eyes light of life fire of trials patience should they draw close to be a hair away dare to be bold lean in and stay lean in and say the words we all long for been waiting so long for the distance has made it stronger but now so near a heart cheers sundered to tears #poetry

meditative mythic aspirant in orison, adjurations breathed on napes; benison through djinn, a sibyl, cherub, loa— fate-spinner, patron of desire’s dawn; we om. #poetry

philosophical statement framed in white imagine the profoundness as you scroll past this, whoosh you say with your plum thumbs as your brain becomes numb #poetry #metapoetry

booked like pages layered like cake tones of fate silent knots made if one listens they hear soft presses beats make #undertones of ribcage protected by breastplate treasured chest this heart’s place tender hands yours to take bring an ear close listen, hear who it dreams of most #poetry #vss365

never meant to be so late, #desolate, i tried time slipped by, it's fine better late than not to have not ever arrived the tale of my life #haikufeels

periodical trying to get with the times; seems I need a subscription— free trial: a dollar; forgot to pay; now fifty—can’t even count that high. so I wonder: who pulls the strings? matchsticks, flaring to ash. can’t lift two bum knees; too many jumps, shattered ankles— two left feet. #poetry

music from the heart percussive, teak-staved; bwaaah—braaaps; a chuff of flutter-tongue, clarioning the bellows of his heart. sforzandi, each beat; valveless curlicues; cup-muted velvet; a waspish tuba bloom— foom-oom— each aorta loess-dusted. #poetry #music

i carry a hostess snoball around with me at all times as a talisman against those whose wish i’d eat healthier

BAPPY is quite honestly peak child naming.

luminal numen, pneuma dynamis, dynamic—the #verve swerving ruach, drowning orgone ojas in ardor, thumos in rhythm an animus that clamors ebullience behind teeth #vss365 #poetry

cosmic nutations copernican firmament, found— challenging ptolemaic. arriving tychoan: see how it bends; keplerian orbis, empyrean. syzygy; aphelion; apsides. in umbra, a parallax of precession; one stands under libration. #poetry #science #space

sometimes plans slip from your hand; yet many days end, sunset in the sand— live by the shore, perhaps life turns grand. #sunset #ocean #beach #rocks #twilight #seascape #nature #serenity #horizon #calm #eveninglight #coastalview #beautifulsky #poetry #photography

every american should receive the nobel peace prize for every day that we inexplicably don't assassinate the president

my love what if you zoomed out and it wasn’t one bit of river but the entirety of water— dammed, held back by a single heart; and what if that heart was theirs, and you— you would have to drown in it to accept it, holding your breath, unable to swim. how? #poetry #music #writtento

under state mints gate way drugs big pharma cuticles nails grass ping at air, fair ways gold end tables prefer entrance exit signs, say aunts #poetry #wordsoup

greenery a primeval boscage, linden, chartreuse-edged; fecund, anointed—plush, florid; arcuate in form, concave; a bosky verge in verdigris view. luxuriant wording—the lushness revered in life. #poetry #vss

Etesian imbibed, prāṇa-fide, waiting to expire; exsufflate a sigh, drink in the scent, relent the distance— barren sky. so he writes the clouds, splotching blotches— puffy, silken lullabies; floating spiritus, the sough flies. #poetry #vss #music

grace fingers thrum the air; elegance turns anxious, thinned on a thread so rare; threadbare, needing darning; yarning, yawning, fair; skin unfreckled, not a speckle, milk-kissed; framed in memory, a face unforgettable, unmissed, even in a crowd; a light, spotless: radiance. #poetry

as the sky rises looking for views, the skyline blinds; looking down, old news. looking ahead, two lengths: above, and down below— who knows? sitting up high, we fly, the present, a present, pleasant surprise. #poetry #fun

money winds the spring tight—the mortal coil entrapped by it. #philosophy

an instant too much impact—shaking, quaking earth-shattering, reality-spattering inside a shelter, swelter, collision waves, blurred vision so long, so loud—bricks to dust surrounded by clouds held by the crowd yells, screams it seems the universe has no seams exploding beliefs #poetry #ptsd #war

a short story: appointment in nyc traffic is bad get out with 2 mi (3.2km) to go run see e-bikes rent an e-bike pedal arrive (barely on time) get denied our appointment walk back ticket Welcome to NYC

meta melodics a Kerouac affair, neither here nor there; traveling, haphazardly— dazzling, the breeze carrying symphonic; searching for harmonics, harmony. and there it is: the missing “e,” unlike the link— the definition of easy. #poetry

a dance: four feet fleeting on floors, bursting at the seams; not two lefts, nor two rights, flitted east, magnetic, it seems. upon reams: written, inked, penned, briefed; not so short—an epic, an Iliad; a story sung by bards of old, tales anew, into the clouds with you. #poetry #fun

if 2025 had a scooby doo style van it would be called the misery machine

Cheeeeese Let the teeth clamor, the smile gleam, applause, grinning— chattering, clattering— awash in enamored-white: pearls unfurled, a horizon of the child inside. #poetry #fun

he found a carving. a tree?—nigh. white? bone?—nigh. what can it be— anything? you believe, and so— what was it then? a question?—nigh. bright as life we name it: reality. and that? simply what was meant to be. #poetry #vss

pixel fill rate without color, no shape— reflections do not take; they shine, remake, flip back the opposite way— so you look, so you say: what a face— time between empty space. how long does it take for light to paint? #poetry #science #physics

a bad day and the mood is falling— falling, we call in longing. where is the bottom— belonging? undertowed, down we go— sublimation below the crust, mantled in heat, searing sanity. never to be a phoenix denied— beneath life, ash will not rise. #poetry

daddy dearest how i wondered how i wondered so— did they know those tears would be the last seen father, dearest, leaving me— yet not dear nor tender; raising hands after benders; inconveniences like bad weather— the storm, no longer tethered, gone, gone forever. #poetry #emoetry

process twist; throw— lassoed by hope. fall; fold— tackled by trying. apprehend; arrest— handcuffed by thought. sleep; slacken— freed by dreams. #poetry #micropoem

Hasn't been a lot of time for Inktober, but I'm squeezing them in when I can. This one incorporates a few of the prompts: Crown , Murky, and maybe Weave?

lushest love velutinous— sericeous hairs bend and brush, murmurous whispering: mellifluous notes wander the surface— is it a reflection— lambent light glows beneath the skin, rising. pliant, the bloom: a heart easing open, buoyed by breath. #poetry #emoetry
