Woke up remembering who the fuck i was and got back to the work. Love has its place,but it should still let you breathe, and sometimes we smother ourselves without knowing. Today, i am breathing deeply. #poetry #fernrenee #writingcommunity #shadowwork

Time promised healing, love spoke of repair, but when I reached for light, life showed it was never there…….

I find myself feeling disconnected again,longing for a moment that seems to have passed me by. I grew too accustomed to the feel of your skin that in its absence, an ache now takes hold. A stone on the shoreline begging for the sea to come back home. #poetry #fernrenee #writingcommunity #you

On this day of balance, may you reap all that you have sown, may your light shine into the darkness of self and see something beautiful, may you slumber when needed and roar when called #AutumnEquinox

The clouds are releasing tears kept inside for too long,and heavy clouds hang like the shadow lingering around my heart. There were no arms to anchor me into reality when I woke and no lips that reminded me that I was alive. Today, I will drift in the scent of wood smoke memories and soft silence.

I don’t crave a body… I crave a bond, where silence is understood, glances are scriptures, and love breathes between the lines…..

I did a thing a while ago and recorded a podcast with @natclegg.bsky.social for the House of Zophiel podcast on my relationship with Dionysos. I hate speaking off script, and I foundered. But it was such a lovely conversation and if you fancy hearing me ramble, you can here. Hookland gets a mention.

Today's moment of zen was watching this bald cypress tree in a lake with the birds flying everywhere.

It’s amazing that we just willingly fall asleep at night not knowing if we’re going to wake up or not.

Hekate, my verse novel retelling, is out today and I’m emotionally in such a strange place because I haven’t had a non-commissioned book out in 4 years. I had forgotten how all encompassing pre-release and launch month anxiety is.

DO HARM TO YOUR ENEMIES; TREAT YOURSELF WITH KINDNESS!

Mercy comes locked inside keys, lost in the sea of your eyes, lighting strikes into the dark. please... have mercy #poetry #fernrenee #you

I fall in love with myself and I want someone to share it with me. ~ Eartha Kitt

Proof of life,it's been going well, and I'm grateful for a number of things right now.

Scattered and worn, my thoughts keep drifting away, caught in the tendrils of a maelstrom brewing. #poetry #fernrenee #rambles

Relentless in the pursuit of a moment that moved like quicksilver into the darkened sky, when my breath was stolen from lips that touched upon the Gods, bliss fell like tears when my name fell soft from your mouth,calling me home. #poetry #fernrenee #you #OfGodsAndDreams

My body is a temple: crumbling in places, in need of frequent prayers & tributes, but still harbouring the ability to spark wonder in the faithful 😉

Every time I wake and find your face so close, I have to remind myself that this is no dream and those arms are real and those lips smile at me with such softness... No dream is this,just love. #poetry #fernrenee

This song saved my life a few times. I was unraveling... music.youtube.com/watch?v=Kawd...

Tuesday music be like... music.youtube.com/watch?v=NEbX...

He kissed me goodbye,whispering to think of him, as if I could ever think of anything else,to daydream about his touch and the way his eyes smile at me. I replied, always.. #poetry #fernrenee #writingcommunity

Can you stay, here in my heart, here in my arms, settle down deep in my soul and find a home there? Can you trim back all the thorns that have grown in places abandoned by others, and water the ground deep with love? #poetry #fernrenee #writingcommunity

We walked down paths neither of us knew, hoping that in the end, we found home. #poetry #fernrenee #writingcommunity

With another glance, and a soft touch, I keep getting closer to the edge of falling, for you,and with you to see how far we can fly. #poetry #fernrenee #writingcommunity

This Sat (16th August) EDGEWAYS presents "She Who Dances in Ashes: A Journey with Kali" with the wonderful Sairah Brighton (@saareah.bsky.social) from 20:0O BST Sairah will be speaking about her personal journey with Kali. She will share how her relationship with the goddess...

An embrace that soothes, a rarity of hushed peace and solid comfort, thank you. #poetry #fernrenee #writingcommunity

Either I am flying or falling, but I am not scared. There is a smile waiting for me out there. #poetry #fernrenee #writingcommunity

Dancing with ghosts and flames,making magic with purposeful steps, opening the way for light to come inside. #poetry #fernrenee #writingcommunity

sunrise reflections that maybe love is a dimension free from #rules only observable when two hearts fall. #vss365

I want the parts of you you think no one can love.. the fire, the flaws, the fever…………

If I have too much sass,then for the love of all things holy,please go find less. Submission is not my calling,wearing fetters, not my fashion. I am made of desire and flames, and only the brave can touch my soul. #poetry #fernrenee #vss365 sass

Love is not found, it is remembered.. A soul you once danced with in silence returns……

see I spoke with an #angel many moons passed she had the words for everything I asked but I shunned her wings I turned away yet her light it always stayed love washed true all of the doubts humbled my heart now I accept magic is real when two souls on this earth connect. #vss365

The difference between men & women is, women don’t need a law telling them not to marry children

Once, I thought that angels would be there to guide a soul through the darkness. Now, I understand that the darkness is not to be feared, and I walk where they will not go. #Poetry #fernrenee #vss365 angel

Should I dream in red shades,the darkened shadows expanding to wrap what's left and send the ache of needful touch across oceans to find the memories of what once was? All I have are dreams,sometimes I find you there. #poetry #fernrenee #writingcommunity

I wasn’t looking for trouble… but you do wear it well………

Whispered into the darkness, a charm for the moon to show a path that leads to the oceans that call my name. #poetry #fernrenee #vss365 charm

Would I find you inside a dream,wondering along an ocean's shore,the waves calling out a name you once knew,a soft desperation to be remembered,are you there,are you there? #poetry #fernrenee

🚨 THIS EVENING AT EDGEWAYS 🚨

There was a moment, a silent connection of eyes that was soft like the flap of a butterflies wings, and the universe hummed in recognition of two paths merged. #poetry #fernrenee #vss365 hum

there is a beat in the air, and fire beneath our feet, moving and breathing to what our hearts dictate, while summer moons wait to cover us in silver reflections of the long day past, and I pass the moments sinking in the feel of your lips carried in the breeze- #poetry #writingcommunity #solstice

Outside looking in, reflections against the glass of memory etched in tones of regret. To stare unblinking into what could have been, had I the courage to fall. Hesitation still pulls, but I think.... I am no longer afraid. #Poetry #fernrenee #introspection

I wonder if that person who is meant for me is actually out there,waiting,like the poets say,or if the words often sweetened with honey eyed silver tounges are just that. Words. I have witnessed no actions to make real the want of my love,only the hesitation that I demand it to be real. #poetry

My thoughts keep circling around rhetorical questions,thinking I may have a different answer than what I've always known. Do they think of me? No,and even if they did, they wouldn't bother to tell me. Patterns don't lie,even when words do. How are you at breaking patterns? #rambles #poetry

Rumbles from the sky so deep the windows rattle,and you wonder if it's in rage or agony as rain falls like the tears you could never shed in the bright sunshine. #poetry #fernrenee
