The fog, this grey philosopher, arrives and steals the world I thought I knew by name. Each tree, each stone, all certainties, it deprives, dissolving solid things to ash and claim. Epistemology so cruel is this, where light itself becomes the soul’s abyss? #poetry #vss365

Tears… Why does one cry… If only someone would not give a reason… We would never need to know why…

back again the exhaustion of a mind that notices everything and I'm staring at an empty lake no duck glides across its perfect surface the seat next to me waits for you where each place I lay my hand is the perfect level of warm there is immense beauty sharing silence with you #poetry

Every time we are together, I melt into you like phrases melt into stories. We embark into moments of #unbridled vulnerability. I could fancy the clocks restricting the movements of time and ocean absorbs all its waves. Just you, me and the reflection of love. #vss365

Cove of solitude Wave's cadence a reservoir Of oases lost #inkMine #writemap #haikuchallenge #vss365

don't know why you filled my sky then, like the rain you came gentle dropping on my surface never stopping then gushing ever rushing from above this love I feel it flow I'll not watch it go you are far where you are but a dam makes a reservoir here I sit by the sunlit gleam & dream of you #vss365

When heartbreak fades into the void…words turn to stone, unheard, unseen, unheeded.

I am #disarmed by your pose, Venus de Milo. Petrifyingly so! That I'm left morose. Must be hard on your back to be kept with your limbs bent like that disarmed, dethroned dethorned, defiled rose. Still you rose & grew beyond any such metaphors, mocked & handicapped love prevails. #vss365 #poetry

∴ thoroughfare, empty— lanterns light our hush-stepped bounce frost meets stardust trails ∴ #vss365 #haikufeels

I will feel Eden once again but I did not relish how the wind made a quick northerly shift I do not wish to see again your bones become brittle broken no hope of repair so I will make the most of this rise though close in the distance looms another fall I'll always give it my all #SenseWrds 32

Oak I've grown to stand tall stand out dig my feet deep into the ground my arms reach for the sky but I cannot escape the seasons the winter winds whip the frost snaps and bites for all my grandeur I know not how to let loose my leaves time let us make amends I am not good with ends #vss365

Paradise found?

entwined here our head against your heart & mind we hear a language warm, inviting and kind bringing us too our deepest presence an easy comfort found in each others arms #vsspoem #MonthOfLove

he spoke in long sentences apart from that one time hold me, he said his eyes shone with such naked vulnerability it unclothed me i've been embracing the tenderest of hearts ever since each pump of mine filling his empty spaces with love until the stars shine in dark eyes once again

there were intentions whispered to the shadowed walls hours passed with inaction and daydreaming scenes now the evening’s begun to fall too late too late for the plans that begin a fresh new day🪶 #LossLit

My love Is a language Only spoken by lost beings I’ve come through virgin Spring To conceive you in dreams I wrote On paper moons Fleeing The nights of collapse Arriving In mornings of creation We bloom We belong I’m your soul Your soul is me #poetry #WritingCommunity

the sound of her voice when she said goodbye hit me like a thrown rose landing on a coffin but I don’t blame her she never intended to leave never meant for me to stroll the stillness by vesper light from picture windows to speak with her again #vss365 #vesper #poetry

it is in the stillness of winter the warmth of deep emotions invites- stirs a turning inward when life seems to flow slowly, quietly each moment of reflection stretches out for an eternity unhurried in a changing world where we’re always becoming cocooning- enjoying simplicity uplifts the soul 🕊️

I accept there is hopelessness but I cannot support the position for me as long as there is love there is hope there is the turning over and over in my mind there is the turning without any place to go give me a place to go for I love you and I need hope #vss365

I made a dress out of the mountains, I draped a thin piece of the sky on top, As if it was a sheer layer of lace… I could not be a mountain woman Or a mountain… So, I wore the world as my shield To define beauty From the shape of feelings ©️Camellia #poetry

These twilight moon maidens Five tipped night sky queens Giggle & chatter Tis’ time for the New Moons Coronation The Milky Way extra bright tonight Holding place for his ceremony Moons cosmic harem Is alight with silver stars Shyly shimmering in #delight #vss365

#vss365 They all laughed in #delight. Boisterous guffaws filled the air. Drinks freely flowed. They all laughed louder A faint cry was heard. "If you can't hear them, they don't exist." One whispered. "Who doesn't exist?" Silence stretched to the seams. The cry, heard again. They all laughed...

Her letters were in the lining of my old grey coat, I’d left them to cry it out there. French thyme pressed between recycled paper pages, stick-brittle, an old green ghost still capable of peeling back the summers and revealing #fresh white washing on the line. #vss365

Will you defy the dignity that #decorum demands of you in the celestial sky In your gaze... Volupté... A call for secret, silent rebellion #vss365

One man’s #idyllic Is another man’s passé With time, the foil. #vss365 #writing #poem #poetry #haiku

Cure me of my gorgeous, heady sin cry out a hymn I am a tiny recluse in your bed my dear, my devil, the #schism is a relief— you beat in me. Dawn darkens— hooves in the garden #vss365

#blueskypoetry #vss365 #schism What breaks often surprisingly mends itself We face schisms many a times but remain one with crevices Light comes in and melts what’s left into priceless Broken, we shine wholesome we’re never alone we’re water.

#vss365 He ruffled her #feathers, wasn't expecting retribution for it. But she went far in too deep. Dug all his secrets he buried in his heart. Paraded his skeletons for everyone to see. Watched him crumble within him. Revenge, is a deadly addiction. It doesn't stop till the other still breathe.

the hour the stars hold their breath is when the night sky is at its brightest a welling of #starlight imposing its #glow on the insignificant vagrants below it's 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 wish to remind us to breathe & remember it's from there where we came together #blueskyprompt7 #ourpoetryx #blueskypoetry #inkmine

and in the quiet moments when dusk dances it’s way in, you echo in me so loud

Everything about you was screaming NO but my damn heart was screaming YES!

∴ merrily, the leaves sour ghosts wane, dusk turns to gold— i see you, as rain dancing between falling drops drawing magic from the soil ∴ #inkmine #vssdaily #poetry #writingcommunity #poetrypostpushedpastprimetime 🙃

snow falls on a silent night, blanketing grey with fresh white — winter’s soft delight

I heard you smiling through the cracks in my sleep, haunting the silence with your stare, come sit with me i said, pointing a finger at the red shards of dawn. #poetry #writing #poetsofbluesky

Solitude, my lover, Soft as silk, Yet sharp as icicles You cut my flesh, my soul, my ears, You cut, and cut, and cut again To bind me in a suffocating #monochrome hue #vss365 #poetry

#vss365 Write me, as a poem Classic and rhythmic Paint me with vibrant colours Do away with #monochrome noise And serenade me with your ineffable song Let even silence yearn for your voice...

Moon Tugging the tides of my days I raft in a #monochrome space Believing - Longing is a place #vss365

rainwater shatters the metronomic drone of oneiric footfalls, in a #challenge to long sought isolation. his senses are rent by its splashing arrogance, reaving otherwise peaceful abusions. whilst the ghosts of disquieted breath escape to an asylum of lamplight, he laments the interruption #vss365

cold moon silver haze bronze lake peaceful ice fishing cast catch captains gold #WalesHaikuJournal #inkmine

The storm came knocking its hands cold on the #threshold I opened, hoping— but it was only the wind wearing your voice. #vss365 #FromOneLine #poem

heavy with water my lids close hoping to stem the flood this torrent has been going on too long I can see you on the banks but I could no sooner get to you than wind my way through the space between drops impossible the clouds do not part even for the most ardent of hearts #SenseWrds 11
