SOMETHING SACRED SURVIVED: Life plans collapsed when health abruptly lapsed... (Click to see full graphic). #BornBattleReady #Poetry #Rhyme #Sacred #Coffee #Disability #ChronicIllness #Loss

Sacred memories Silver bits In an unsavory past Clung onto like A favorite guitar riff Standing out like Flickers of gold That which made me bold And as I grow old Those silver linings Are always what Stands out What gets me through Silver, gold Never old #BornBattleReady

My contribution to this week's #BornBattleReady ( #sacred ) & #BlueSkyArtShow ( #relax ) --- #WritingCommunity #poetry #KBFPhotography #MobilePhonePhotography #Photography #monochrome ⬇️

Sacred sugar rush mountain In haze I eagerly climb Feed my lust with your fountain In my rush I feel so high Morning cravings my delight Thirst in a hunger raises doubt Walls are built in fight Need this drug to ease my flight Sacred feelings they float home When all is forgiven laid on my crown

Cosmic Gem Each star beyond man's eye Survives in blessěd obscurity Still safe from discovery Unlabeled, unclaimed, unconquered, unshamed #Sacred in its own image And free to exist without A wonder sullied by humanity. #BornBattleReady #poetry

RIP Carl Jung he would have loved AI replacing the collective unconscious

In times when moments seem dark and pain begins to feel like a crutch, we can always turn to poets to help us find our voice of valor in the dark I am beyond grateful to everyone who took time to read and feel the guardian in every write. Can't wait to see you in the arena this week 🖤⚔️

I wrote this little piece for @thepoetryarena.bsky.social & forgot to post it here Sometimes we are given a choice to let go of our darkness to see what might have been there all along. Sometimes we need to be reminded how to swallow her rhyme & see our true guardian Please enjoy #BornBattleReady

I am beyond honored to have been chosen among the many great writers that stretched our minds and hearts this week asking us to remember our strength and honor our guardians that help us see our light. Polls are open. Please take a pause on your day and read some amazing writers and vote!

Lay down beneath this beautiful sky pen me your soul while you gently slide Wrap around Taste Chantilly cream Let me fall with purpose Into this tasty dream My hands are greedy when it comes to You Locked within insatiably intricate needs Once upon a fairytale you found my heart resting by the sea

Lovers

I envy your blood and how it flows through Your veins Twist and turns Wrapping your heart Feeling your pain Diving deep igniting your core As you grow beneath the surface Flushing and flustered Begging you for more Pushing your seams Getting lost in dreams

Morning kiss

We breathe in moments surrounding our days Pulling in unspoken truths taking small sips walking on a razors edge of haze We allow waves of shivers to drop across our spine Holding on to the vanishing point Careful placed within our minds As midnight serenades Like blackbirds sitting on the vine 1/2

As we slowly move across fire Feeling the water fold through curvy circles Let the salty breeze flow Falling into stars I swallow you deep sending You to my core Tasting the essence of your soul As midnight serenades our energy grows Let me bring my light to your edge 1/2

Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! - Emily Brontë #flower #nature #photography #light #shadow

In your room Where souls disappear Only you exist here - Depeche mode #flower #iris #nature #photography

As seasons change and my heart comes back to view I look across the sky Finding my new hues Free falling into tomorrow I sense your delving hands Pulling back symmetry My eyes take me to you

She’s not built for casual. She’s the kind you crave in your bones. The kind you lose your mind over. She was made for soul-consuming love and dangerous obsession.

The Fates

"With clarity and conviction, Kells dismantles the myth of female inferiority. She challenges entrenched patriarchal norms and highlights how excluding women harms economic growth and global resilience. '(His)Story of Women' is an accessible and thought-provoking read."

This kind of love. 💞

In graceful gardens we grow Trying to find our strength While remembering the light As we taste the edge of our nectar So sensually sweet Well worn trails Our paths do fall As you slide in Pushing my walls #OurPoetryX #FoxProse #Amatory #gracefulgarden 📷 my click

Trace the amethyst lines across my porcelain skin Deepen my arch as petals open Tiny throbs Begin Fostered emotions Take the stage while your hand pulls back to enjoy the pain Midnights veil Call forth your secret dreams Please me with your Darkest desires While opening the seams

I close my eyes to dream and I am slowly wisked away To the memories of you When my heart knew how to sing and my world felt free Eternal river of my soul Eclipsing the night I am caged in the memory of a time when you whispered

Finished this one a few days ago. I started this around a time when I was feeling incredibly sad a couple weeks ago. It turned into something I really appreciate and feel is an honest expression. Acrylic on canvas, 11x14". #acrylicpainting #traditionalmediums #art #landscapeart #storm #clouds

trying to be kind to myself yet my brain is screaming that i dont deserve to be able to take a moments rest its loud in my head right now
