Infinite Loop The sun vanishes swallowed in a dark chasm a new night begins The sun reappears and it reclaims its throne eternal battle Darkness vanishes swallowed in a sun chasm a new day begins Darkness reappears and it reclaims its throne eternal battle #haikupoem #poetrycommuity #poetry

I once had a thousand desires, but in my one desire to know you, all else melted away. - Rumi #poetry #bloomscrolling #tulips #Rumi

I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying. Charlie Chaplin Photo by Friedrich Kunath, 'Storms Never Last' youtu.be/h-WPexVEujg?...

the light, the light is what remains when the night has taken all it can #micropoem #poetry #bonnenuit

we remain in place our heart whispers encompass our breath tracing our paths in the dark until the sunrise finds us #BlueSkyPoets #PoetryCommunity #Poetry #MicroPoetry

Dark ink of the night I come as a beggar Asking to be allowed To tip my pen into you To draw from your darkness The light of missing words To fill my mind’s inkwell With the velvet of your kiss Let me drown deep into you Let me drink you to the dregs All the way into oblivion #vss365 #poem #poetry

#undecided mind - uncharted bright, wide blue - the gale stole my breath, my grounding i did not mean to land here i did not mean to fall #emoetry #poetry

all that was left was v and e the rest of the #ink hate pushed out to sea tiny hands around crayons colored in L and O showed the world what it meant to be human and whole #vss365 #poetry

she tried to break a fragility in her chest where emotions pooled and dead loves gathered by red strings— until nothing was left but bone and tender ash #writing #poetry #blueskypoets

behind her eyes a knowing— the heart, having grown fonder, where the storm had run out of slashing, and salt remained, scattered for the healing. #writing #poetry

shadows lurking beneath #ink— pages turning— a heart ajar #vss365 #poetry

#vss365 #ink She couldn’t figure out why the ink kept smearing Then she realized her eyes wouldn’t stop tearing Saying this goodbye was hard Trying to write it in a card All of these broken feelings continued rearing

from the wreckage i once drew #ink from pain— now it draws me into abyssal depths, depressions rising in me #vss365 #poetry

And if you give poetry I shall sip word by word until darkness summons crescendo and stars burst alive and pulsing #poetry

bathing in an ocean of love hurling storms of grief into the deep but the bottom lies restless still tethered stirring old wounds in me #poetry

When you see how often the sun shines for you hard to not shiver when you dwell on the heat of it #poetry

Iris Murdoch

you cannot find the shore by staring into the storm nor can a wound heal in the shadow of the blade #micropoem #poetry

as a secret pulse that wounded me, the heart—i speak to it as if it were listening, entreating it not to break what it longs for. #poetry

Nurture her and she will bloom. #7syllablesentence #nuture

A day for crows and too strong tea, crackling embers, and you.

It is good to love as much as one can, for therein lies true strength, and he who loves much does much and is capable of much, and that which is done with love is well done. ~Vincent van Gogh (1878)

never was there a feather so clever as i armed with a quill, dressed in ink here i rest, here i spill line by line i lessen drawn thin to hush to finish no cry no flourish— just this: one last thrill #vss365 #arm #poetry

You said I was like a yellow flower, grown wild on a mountain 'neath the glow of the sun no, I replied I'm a graveyard of regrets, overgrown with dark roses, but you are welcome to flit with the rest of the spirits and you did. Then there at the edge a yellow flower bloomed. #sensewrds 206

his arms where love lives first: reaching, holding, refusing to let the heart fall alone, the place where longing holds like shelter, and absence— it bruises, undoing the distance in me. #vss365 #poetry

An ember in me Glistens with light, A small burning, That will become A storm of fire, Let inspiration strike. #poetry #writing

offering the honey of her soul, only he knew the way she gave #micropoem #poetry

gold-like lustre, thirsting for his love, longing to give a piece of my own— oh, the greed of this ache, a roaring in the depths— surging like a river. #poetry

cut to the bone, from the hollows of her soul, she closed her eyes so to see, opened her heart so to feel, for she no longer feared the night— for he, he is light laid softly against the dark. #poetry

Instead of flowers bring her rare books

I love you you are loved life's too short for word choices the heart should speak before mind you are loved I love you three divine words aware of time #poetry

as day drifts to sleep beneath a pillow lies a tooth no longer mine to keep a traded gift, now taken by gentle hands on fairy-winged hush not lost, nor left to be forsaken but held in rosy blush what once was flutters far peace remains, wonder stays keeping watch upon fleeting days #vss365 #hand

there’s a softness in the hands that held the heart while it passed through fire, choosing not to burn #vss365 #poetry

i no longer know where the wounded me ends and the rest of me begins

doubt makes the heart porous, filling the gaps where love once poured in— still, it listens for the beat #poem

the brain editing the past

a heart starved of love is a vulnerable heart

a feeling that slices the soul open

sometimes the water lands, builds just right near my eye its heaviness breaks, it slides, a tear - this, too, is crying - a cleansing of pain #poetry

i feel their pain eclipsing my own it’s a feeling gnawing at my heart, clawing at its surface, bleeding into bone #poetry

i called upon the sea to take my soul like sand taken by the tide no grain left behind, only atoms pressed out of pain take my soul, i begged, if it will take this hurt away #vss365 #poetry

intimate pain wounds intimately

let it be nothing let the silence hold #micropoem

measuring the depth of my heart’s folly

digging into my soul as though it were earth, to discover how much pain it can hold— #poetry

feeling the definition of madness
