It took astronauts a goddess moon crater naming love to show me feeling small can be a beautiful thing testament to how tangled together we are revelation like David's perfect chord so full of awe it soothes the parts of me that shrank for you stars look small &break darkness with their light #poem

wrap the weight of night around my shoulders like a blanket tuck my heart in draw the darkness closer nestled head over feet in a sanctuary of stars wheeling through the sky infintisimal & infinite drunk on satellites & atmosphere yearning like a lover flying too close to the #moon #poetry #poem

I will hide your shadow in the shape of words I haven't found yet maybe a glib cliché or pretty paradox tripping off my tongue still more tender than I'd like to admit but lighter than the way I loved you easier to carry #poetry #newpoem #amwriting #poem #writingcommunity #movingon #lovelanguage

Spring is unfolding Earth soft, sky yellow with rain Begin again. Here. (Winter is for endings, love. Spring is for seeds. Root.) #poem #newpoem #poetry #beginagain #haiku #newbeginnings #spring #grow

Weave story hold truth beautifully bleak--alive-- threshold shaped what if... #haiku #poetry #poem #whatif #imagine #write #begin #storyteller

Old dreams spill fog through night far off sirens wail a lost song their lamentations rise between us glass green waves breaking on tired shores once great mountains worn to pebbles & myth my pockets are full of skipping stones every breath dances with ghosts of you #poem #poetry #vss #loss #lore

Broken shards of history hide in gardens of people no one remembers anymore... #poem #poetry #hiddenstories #freeverse #writingcommunity

One day I'll read these sunbleached bones with wiser eyes throw hand in hand with Fate cry laughing while She teaches me to suck the marrow from broken past feed the future full into being hope rage tears spittle flying like maple keys spin to earth destined rot or grow #poem #HaikuHorrorPrompt #vss

Spin my wheel in circles draw moon from sky with a lasso of my best intentions shift oceans in their tides find Fate in their wake beg Her to cut this wayward weft rewarp Her loom let me try again weave something beautiful out of this life of loose threads stop coming undone #poetry #MPPrompt #poem

You taste like cold salt stain this bleak season with foolish broken hope linger in my footprints bitter on my tongue mouth full of ashes spit a fine silt of grief over me long cool fingers on fevered cheeks wind whipped waves crash green against the shore you taste like cold salt #poem #poetry

I would've given anything sacrificed everything knew love a giving up for getting to have held too tight that fleeting bud one eye over my shoulder waiting for #love to realize I wasn't good enough to keep it Was love good enough to keep me? I would've given anything I know better now #poem #poetry

Watch see crack the lies big bully brother screams so you can't hear yourself think stark cold truth bleeding in the streets bearing witness won't stop baby's foaming mouth save a nurse bleeding out shepherd pink coats safely home but if it helps believe your eyes watch see rise #poem #art #resist

Don't you know, my love? Art is how we find ourselves. And save each other. (Full poem in the alt text) #poem #art #creativity #poetry #dare

Tits out in the kitchen isn't where I thought I'd find myself but there are worse ways to start over than unbridled by convention or the clothes of who you thought you should be I choose naked & nourished in delightfully unexpected ways over playing placeholder waiting for life to find me #poem

There will be shadows. You can't hold them. Let them fall. Reach toward the light. #haiku #poem #shadow #light #poetry #wordstoliveby #writeyourheartout

Moonlight paints walls casts #shadows empty promises on old anchors where love used to hang patch over remnants of us in the morning tonight the woman who believed in you writes poem pleas to the stars from the balcony a eulogy for who she was & the man she loved who doesn't exist #poem #vss #moon

I will choose again. Risk love. Hope perchance to dream. Against the odds. Still. #poetry #haiku #dream #poem #risk #love #shakespeare

I can see me now wild and steady as the tides no more fog of you #haiku #poem #ocean #wild #poetry

I used to call myself yours. I felt safe there in the shadow of your name. Now it aches to see how I shrank. How you didn't care. (Hindsight is a loving bitch-- always late but never wrong.) #poem #hindsight #poetry

It hurts to become not becoming wounds aches rots you will pay. So choose. #haiku #poem #becoming #poetry

The dead never die. Once there was. Once there wasn't. In the end, what lives? #poem #haiku #lifequestions

You won't remember ashes of a bridge you burned once upon a time. You'll wish for what was like you never loved me--like... I never knew you. Turn you to poems call it coping, healing, grief. (You won't remember.) #poem #haiku #grief #healing #poetry #writeyourheartout

You brave foolish heart broken you beat on my sleeve leak hope everywhere #poem #haiku #love #poetry #writeyourheartout #hope

Love this sour sweet life let its juice run down your chin stain your lips hands soul #haiku #poem #writeyourheartout #poetry

You made me quiet in a stifled kind of way here my song echoes #poetry #haiku #sing #growingpains #writeyourheartout #poem

Hindsight is gratitude for every kiss on your forehead just because I could for saying "I love you" all the damn time for no reason at all never held my heart or truth back behind tentative teeth loved out loud even when my voice shook no shoulds on my shoulders no regrets just one last look #poem

flood the stairs to memory until the floorboards creak & sway let the cobwebs in the attic take what wasn't turn it all to shadows wrapped in silk like you made love into a lie left me walking in your spiderwebs unraveling the ghost of you & washing salt stains off the walls #poetry #vss #poem

Tenderheart, listen: Choose like life is on the line Love like there's no choice. #poetry #haiku #poem #writeyourheartout

Unswallow your "shoulds" Unbecome every damn thing You never wanted. #poem #haiku #poetry #howtolive #writeyourheartout

Make me small enough Put blank margins where love lived Erase our footnotes #haikufeels #poem #haiku #poetry #enough #writeyourheartout

I couldn't see straight You were the smoke in my eyes Burned that bridge and swam #haiku #poem #poetry #writeyourheartout

I asked for the sky for a break on the horizon uncluttered by condos & electric lights that ache #yearn burn the night obscure the stars you give me space itself pour sunshine through windows until I brim over with matter & meaning til the warmth on my skin reminds me I'm made of #starlight #poem

In life without you Stir my coffee with chocolate Bitter. Sweet. Alive. #haiku #poem #lifeislikeaboxofchocolates

I asked for the sky Didn't want the world from you Love. Hope. A window. #haiku #poem #love

I could sleep here all that's missing are the stars. And you. (Always the absence of you.) Too many pieces of my heart live beyond this plane. The breeze whispers your names in my ear like a song anytime I am still enough to listen. #poetry #poem #grief #writeyourheartout #loss #memorial

You feel brittle, love tough to look at hard to see tides break you recede. #HaikuFeels #haiku #poem #prompt

thunder sombers sky clouds close ranks rain charges earth grace falls between drops #haiku #poem #poetry

Love haunts me alive casts your shadow on my mind your last frame echoes #haikufeels #OneLineOctober #poem #haiku

The light on your tongue turned dark truth hidden by the moon's wanting your face a land I used to know by heart your love a place I once called home now your name is the myth I tell to explain why stars fall like tears across the face of the sky #poem #poetry #myth #love #lore

If I could bend time love you over to the end even now I would #haiku #poem #poetry #lovepoem

Maybe the cracks are how the moss & lichen get in reclaiming once wild pieces of you turned hard against hope terraforming barren places with rains of change & seeds of possibility planted in slanting sunlight turning you soft & vibrant green rooting you back to life #poem #poetry #vss #nature

A million steps away from you I've wept an ocean of our love been sanctified by salt water waves of grief cauterized the wounds you left into scars that bleach the past like a map on my skin in the shape of your name a reminder, a truth love would never leave me to drown #poem #poetry #love #grief

When you leave I lose my world & every word in it obliterate the language of my love turn my muse to ash leave me mute and faded bud to bloom to dust let this barren ending be the seed of a story I barely dare dream when I leave write a new world & my place in it mean every word #poetry #poem #vss

Give these tears a river run free the ache in my throat this smoke in my eyes every step I take they follow the bridges you burned stain the road I make through my solitude once I held an ocean of love now you're a trail of salt rung round my heart memory of an ache & watery eyes #poetry #vss #poem

You do not have to be whole to be holy some wounds cut marrow deep leave scars like lightning in your bones life practices kintsugi pours gold over what matters enough to leave a mark maps the making of you shines into your aching darkness your future lighting a candle in the window #poem #poetry

In the waiting strains of old songs echo like light on still water curious sunbeams paint a net on the bottom of the sea gather all my lost pieces abandoned treasures shine me back to myself lift me where the light beckons liminal sand still on my toes break the surface breathe again #poetry #poem
