I'm sitting under a weeping willow winds whirl above in disgruntled skies I'm chewing on bitter melon a root digs into my thigh I thirst but I don't know why I am sitting under graceful willow sweeps in the wind making guesses about the shapes of clouds eating something new & there's no you #vss365

does it matter if we rise or fall? do we need gods to pretend something cares at all? we're a species full of questions swayed too easily by suggestions trying to make sense from insanity distracted by greed power & vanity just a flea on the galaxy's skin we can only lose nothing to win #vss365

Pumped to have a twisty tale in this month's issue of SciFanSat Magazine! Check out my flash fiction piece "Origin", along with all the other fab offerings! 👽✨️

The man sat among the pigeons He let his cat, with #villain’s paw, announce the law The cat purred: “These streets are no longer yours; papers burned, names erased.” The man whispered, “Fly away” The soft & blue rose up against the gray The cat purred, “So obey.” ~rev #vss365

Shadows deepened by the night each passing minute, an ebbing life. A broken soul, forever shackled to the shifting dust. Yet grains of gold freckled the light. She knew he would be waiting if she fell her savior from living hell. ~rev #vss365 #grain

Though she didn't know me, she looked at me as if I was responsible for all her sadness. She didn't understand that I could barely hold my own. I was watering my neighbor's lawn with it. But those pouty lips promised me everything, an ocean of glitter in a #grain of sand. #vss365

they say time heals but some days it feels like time isn't moving that nothing's improving and I'm just waiting for a grain in the hourglass to drop the pain the grief the questions the anger is the only thing that won't stop nothing for a new day to bring when the pendulum doesn't swing #vss365

softness of night wraps the soul in hush destiny unfolds in slow, deliberate ways a saga of love & lust. Threads woven through long days, lovers bound in a trance of unsure, trembling trust until, like ships in a storm, they drown in turbulence, #pulled apart & torn ~rev #vss

pull yourself closer like someone worth loving because you still are #vss365 #Pull #Senryu #Haiku #Poetry #Micropoetry #JustWrite #WritingCommunity #BlueskyPoets

the sky takes refuge in your immense silence the sea hides its treasures deep within your eyes my hands keep reaching for the shore of you but find only tides and this endless #pull of your heart #vss365 #poetry #abstract #painting #acrylic #art

fate's needle pulls the final #thread your lips meet mine #DailyHaikuPrompt #photography #poetry #nature #haiku

our universe was built day by day you're gone but the forces won't go away I still feel the electric of opposites attract but there's no charge no contact I feel gravity but without mass just empty space in my orbital pass magnetic pull on my mouth but there's no north & I'm going south #vss365

Lurching in darkness This feeling of summer heat Heart burnt to ashes #vss365 #lurch #haiku #summer

without trying to be anything else— the wild iris blooms #haiku #poetry #acrylic #painting #abstract #art #canvas

High walls built around to save the heart from chafing again While you lay in wait A hidden door to #lurch or sometimes stray. What if a lost soul finds you yet it won’t chase or play? We all wait in our own special way while mud turns to clay ~rev #vss365

life does not like physics how can it feel like everything lurched to a sudden stop and yet keeps moving at the same time? and you're supposed to run to catch up, but blood so hard to pump with a heavy heart, yet the scale shows no change and the sunlight on my skin, doesn't feel so warm #vss365

it's not that you can't #undo our bond you can anytime you wish it's that I want you to want us a choice you can't live without my heart is like a cathedral adorned with roses and candles I pray to be your midnight's embrace after a long day's harrowing stress #vss365 #bionicanadian

Solemn winter nights The moths follow the moonlight Far away from me #haiku

a thousand flavours #one taste #7SyllableSentence #nature #photo

now and forever lost with you on the journey from ego to love where you occupy my mind like feathers to a wing but there with no self I become all I want… a rattle in silence garden full of stars #poetry #abstract #painting #acrylic #canvas #art

I used to seek your voice, barefoot at your door, clumsily trying to hide my #undone seams. Now I grind my senses into a wound perched at my nape, hidden. I starve sound I slice sight And still, I hear you. #vss365 📷 Pixabay

When all the promises are broken When all decisions are undone I rise above the shallow waters Looking brightly high above After everything is ruined You can start again from scratch Nothing is as liberating As a sight of a blank page #vss365 #undo #poetry #life

only you can pull each thread unspool my soul #undo the whole of me with every breath, a quiet plea you hold the sacred key to me your essence traces where I begin within and where I come apart only you can rule the heart of me #vss365

In his dreams, his nightmares, his drink-fuelled reminiscences, Dylan tried to #undo his mistakes, but it was folly to even think about it. Could he have done something different? Of course! But he hadn’t. He had to live with it. He had to move on. He had fresh mistakes to make instead. #vss365

Clenching fists Unclenching jaw I won't be silenced anymore Words will echo in the sky Justice will be served tonight #vss365 #clench #poetry

a trail of pebbles leads into the sea words of a poem taking their stone form as i enter these quiet waters my shadow departs there is nothing to keep me together the moon is trapped in place the wind moaning that same solemn note i am #undone #vss365

Facing the tempest, you stand fast on the bough. No projections. No novel blame. Quietly, fists clenched, you wait until the realization dawns: “This season has run its course. Time to move on.” ~rev #vss365

nurtured by inkflow of the soul a poem begins to breathe

#vss365 even though he can make her feel it's a knife held in her #clenched fist blood teasing the blade guilt is their malformed child hidden in a closet he can't tame her darkness her raven hair dissolves into a pool of ink unspoken desires incantations over old bones

the fiend clutches the novel as a pomegranate guards its red chambers within the #clench of a fist the unwritten gathers all things waiting to unclench... silence always arrives first then silence becomes this poem #vss365 #poetry #abstract #painting #acrylic #canvas #art

the pen #weeps the ink the page sometimes opens sometimes seals #TankaThursday #Poetry #Tanka #Nature #Photography

I honour the pain It helps me to feel alive But is it worth it? #haikufeels #haiku #life

#vss365 Mind travels to monsoon turmoils Where clouds try to #clench together To stop an outburst of flooding As eyes raised up to the sky Carry on bursting waterfalls There is no petrichor There are no rainbows The earth tilts on its axis Searching for answers With wordless questions

Life like a novel Blank pages are stained with ink No words can be seen #vss365 #haiku #novel

The pages of a life, Not pressed between the covers of a #novel, Nor of a novella, Not even a novelette, But of a pamphlet, A leaflet, But filled with beauty and soul, Brief, fleeting, And vibrant. #vss365

the orange-bottomed bumble bee hovers over flowers daily just as we live together out of habit not wanting to be social #fiends silent waves of suffering urge us to shatter the illusion there might be second chances to free us from our gilded cage #vss365 #FromOneLine #bionicanadian @bionicanadian
