Love will not trick or deceive Love leans in, relieves You are my peace my form of release you may not even know for you my ardor grows #vss365

But not today. Today I take this hand, This hand that held my children, turned the page, That learned its lines and now must find the stage Enlarged, and press this stone into the land. #vss365

To the Daughter of the Starbreather ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have no gift but ink and will, No treasure but this poor regard, Yet look how every field and hill Is written on by wind and shard Of light, and every word The earth receives grows beautiful, not hard. #vss365

An exquisite poem that finds Pathos and Carpe Diem shaking hands like old friends. A.E. Housman 🖎

I’d rather binge the whole soppy show in one breathless go till positively swooning, a silly smile, conduct a tad loony! #vss365 #conduct #romance

Longing spans Simple glance of your hand My mind is wandering Oh, the things I am pondering….

Spotty internet connection serving time like it was 1999 nap, book, and wine utterly divine (serving cheesy poetry I should have left in the drafts folder at 📷 low tide, Netarts Bay, Oregon😅)

The image showcases the serene Sakuranosato Park in Mie Prefecture, Japan, where vibrant cherry blossoms lean over the tranquil Miyagawa River. This scenic location is celebrated by photographers for the perfect "V-shaped" reflection of the pink blooms against the surrounding evergreen mountains.

The mermaid

Had to flip the pic…someone came in front of our cabin and wrote this in the sand… (it’s at the top!)

As rivers waver yet are held by stone, My restless soul is bounded by soft grace; The flowers bend low, but are not overthrown, For love, like light, fills every hollow place.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #vss365

It's so real...

Here I Love You Pablo Neruda #WorldPoetryDay

You, ever breaking against the shores of my mind soft waves of pleasure. #inkmine #break #haiku #senryu

By the sea, in imposed hush, she keeps the canvas open. Iodine settles on the fabric. 20 shades of blue speak in words she can’t recall. The strokes #waver then fall along the shore. Something passes through them. A few soft traces move outward. They are not hers to catch. #vss365 🎨 from Pinterest

Blooms at night she walks alone ready to be home

Sometimes I wanna cut loose you know where I am No excuse I won’t leave you unread and when I’m done I’ll come home to our bed I just want to feel free and you know me my heart belongs forever to you

A poem that never fails to make my soul ache. • James Wright •

we followed the rain the way lovers might to the lee side of a tree her fingers spoke broke me, with her tangled hair

sakura… the rain between us #haiku #poetry

Cherry blooms… It’s peak season here in Oregon and I take every opportunity to walk beneath them. This evening they are lovely!

Moss n blossoms…

You had me at “Hello…”

oceans of you fill these eyes. to be let into a heart even for a moment, is enough to drown a lifetime of distance. 3/13 ✍️ #gratefulhearts #quietsouls #sunset #photography

Oil painting by Julia S. Powell I so love the layers of texture and smooth streaks of colour transitions... 🫠

💗Cherry blossoms beginning!💗

I , spellbound to your palm outstretched tender frond reclining safe from the crush gentle, in your hand willingly, I stay. #poem

The Fates

Lethargy won’t sink its claws in me ever determined, pointed to Spring new growth on a cloudy day store bought roses chase blues away #vss365 #blueskypoets

My view…

Bloom…

Moon…

these grey days that bully the blue calculating camouflage attaching themselves upon unsuspecting cumulus do challenge those of timid mind and quiet heart to find some light and space of peace in the unwavering persistent bravery of trees #vss365 #poetry #writingprompt #timid #amwriting #naturewrite

a plain petticoat woven from morning shadow bared in broad daylight #haiku

Have you ever had a moment where you lay your eyes on someone & look— I mean really look & something in you drops down the spine to the atoms Through the haze of #obsession logic doesn’t thrive You just know— that's my person You don’t need reason to want them in your world #vss365
