Whispers Untethered & adrift Weave between Lips & fingers Eyes #tenderly drink Too much wine From one vessel The pining comes Before the sting Before the heat Takes us in Senses rush to crown Each other King & Queen We grin The trees' bark Is worse than your bite At my neck #vss365

could you keep me just a little longer, love? not like pocket lint or those socks with the almost holes in the toes keep me like sacred secrets like the books you left pieces of yourself inside #poetry

You will find me, in spirit, one day, during a gentle breeze, and it will be something about the glint in the eye of a perfect stranger. Something about them, in an instant, not so strange. #Poetry #BlueskyPoetry #Connection #SkyPoet

Been thinking about this again.

oh, my darling be a shelter for this harrowed heart of mine a haven a harbour a home

Perpetuity in the pattern Is there really strength to be found in the knowledge I've done this to myself when I can't seem to stop soothing myself in dreams #emoetry #desperation (yeah I'm behind, deal with it) #poetry #sestina

I always love when this guy comes up in my feed, but this is just chef's kiss. "...Wokeness became un-American when you got everything you wanted..." 💯💯💯

One laugh At a time Your breath Stumbles into mine Who was the first To #swoon Who cares I'm rising For air Wondering Is this too soon I made acquaintance Again With your tongue It's all a blur In your realm Of fun It's our story: A warm body A cold shower & a heart Deflowered #vss365

Heard this today and it still makes me cry. It got my husband too though so I feel a little better about it 🤣

oh, my darling lick this languid lightning from off my lips be this storm with me #poetry

#poetry #ekphrastic Staring at the tracers Watching them take flight As they launch another volley All our hopes & dreams alight In the distance, way in back I spy a child steeped in wonder As the fireworks fade to black With some artificial thunder #art #photography #digitalart #photoediting

One morning I’ll wake up, his clouds won’t be in my eyes, his voice won’t resonate in my ears and I’ll walk like a peacock, tail in full flare, unashamed of my battle wounds #oddchallenge #poetry

The sky was orange, streaked with blue The grass was green, a verdant hue I bet it was a #stunning view But as we sat there, just us two, I couldn’t take my eyes off you. #vss365

Navigation fail Autopilot turbulence Didn't earn those wings #poetry #haiku #senryu

Nothingness inside swallowed up all the somethings I'm capable of #poetry #haiku #senryu

callous is not cold sometimes the heart grows armor just to stay gentle #emoetry #Callous #Senryu #Haiku #Poetry #Micropoetry #JustWrite #WritingCommunity #BlueskyPoets

I'm on the verge of suffocating . . . buffering let the moment pass Be here, be present breathing in really deeply breathing out again Let the moment pass notice the moment passing it will be okay #haiku

Choosing to survive one syllable at a time need like five more- ish #senryu

Yes my thighs touch and I have bags under my eyes and a deepening frown line that’s not so pouty anymore; my breasts aren’t 35 and my tummy is perimenopausal but I’m still here, not invisible still of value still of worth here, to love and be loved #poetry

The proverbial bull - isolation breaks against things of fragile make Wreaking havoc leaving naught but emptiness in its wake. #emoetry #berserk? #poetry #haiku #tanka #senryu (I might not be as engaged as usual, please don't take it personally. Having a time.)

Sestina: of moss and rust My first attempt at a #sestina, pretty proud of it #poetry

You are my secret adulation, I try to obscure my desire and fire from you, with apprehension, breath held, I wait for you, hot with anticipation #emoetry #cassiopeian #vss365 #inkMine #poetry

I'm not ready 😭

Distance We don’t live
in each other’s ordinary. I don’t know which mug you reached for this morning, or whether it rained where you are. #poetry

👏👏👏

oh, my darling this heart is a bruise in the flesh of my aching to heal would be tragedy of silent unmaking #poetry

Moss on the wrong side still adores the morning sun Had to let you know it's true, I'm afraid to say - but here it goes anyway:

oh, my darling swell your waves upon the shore of my breaking spill your brine upon the thirst of my slaking #poetry

We’d better pay attention to our past and what it cost, or we’ll live in #apprehension of a future that we’ve lost. #vss365

#poetry #ekphrastic She rose by convection Like a flickering flame But mostly in conviction That nothing's the same While the fire consumes The heat will transform All to ash, she presumes As she's suddenly born #art #photography #digitalart #photoediting

oh, my darling you are no Atlas you were never meant to carry worlds entire rest those shoulders now, love slip your burdens loose and lay yourself deeply down #poetry

A vulture dips her head Into the carcasses' mouth She's meticulous Stripping flesh from bone Peeling it back Like forbidden fruit Especially the tongue The #carrion Basks on her beak Like lipstick I feel a #disgruntle— A sense of envy Because no one Has kissed me like that #vss365

oh, my darling slumber is a softness into which even the sharpest days d i s s o l v e #poetry

"Won't You Think of the Children?" 🥺

Tonight's 'Strawberry' Full Moon rise! Yes, lots of wispy clouds and a tough time getting it exposed well but a beautiful sight nonetheless. #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social

Reminder: Heat Stroke is real! Make sure you hydrate and take regular breaks from being out under the sun

Per the comments: This Reichard character (AfD - ultra conservative) was laughing at this woman while she was advocating for women's rights. She returned not just a burn, but a whole as cremation. youtube.com/shorts/2YV51...
