RIP Bud Cort 💔 If you've never seen "Harold and Maude" you must watch it immediately. IMHO, it's one of the greatest love stories ever put on film.

It's hard to imagine a world without Rev. Jesse Jackson in it. Rest in Power, noble warrior.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

A Valentine's Day poem for those of us still in the cruel grip of unrequited love.

FUCK CANCER! 😥 www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

Cold settles into the quiet spaces where you used to be. Snow gathers on the windowsill like words you never said. I reach for you, but only feel a stretch of winter air. Nights are heavy with the weight of your absence. I miss you most when the world's white & there's no one left to hold. #poetry

Yep...<sigh>...yep...

OK, group recitation!

Gestapos opened fire, striking Martinez 5 times in the arm, chest & both legs 1 gestapo had body cam ... Martinez has said in court that it shows an officer shouting "do something b--" The gestapo who shot her, in a group text: "I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys."

Woke up with this sentence bouncing around in my head... "I knew you weren’t mine, but I still loved you in the spaces where hope and restraint quietly collide."

For my third poetry book, I'm considering a collection of erotic poems. What do you think?

Stay warm everyone! (Hopefully by cuddling with someone you love 😍)

I don’t ask for promises, or certainty, or a future written in ink. I only ask that you stay still long enough to let my love reach you and trust me to hold what you carry, gently. #poem #poetry #loveisanactionverb

Snow drifts down in quiet spirals, soft as unspoken thoughts. I watch each flake fall and wonder if your eyes are lifted too, and if somewhere between us this winter beauty is shared. #poem #poetry #snow #winter

It gives me hope when I realize my heart still knows what you need, that my presence can reach you beneath your sorrow's armor. I touch you in the quiet places, where truth loosens and tears arrive. And you let it happen, because you don't know it’s me. #poem #poetry #heartbreak

Reposting as Saturday's long-form poem. Enjoy!

I miss you in the quiet places where my thoughts slow down enough to notice the ache. Your absence presses against my chest like weather, unavoidable, changing the shape of every day. I carry your name through ordinary hours, and everything I do feels like waiting. #poetry #lonelyday

The calendar turns, bright and ceremonial, but my chest carries the same old fracture. January arrives with clean air and loud promises but never asked my heart for permission. I step into the new year with your name still aching, learning that time moves forward while yearning stays. #poetry

Now that I've finished the "poem a day" challenge I set for myself in 2025, I'll be taking those poems and putting them together to create my 2nd book of poetry (available in spring 2026). I'll still post poems here, but probably not every day. 😊💜🙏

Loving you makes me new again under clear skies. I breathe without weight. #haiku #poetry #clearsky

I don’t want fireworks or resolutions or a calendar heavy with promises. All I carry into the new year is a quiet dream of your hands choosing mine without hesitation. Let the months be ordinary and the days unremarkable. If they end with your love, I already have everything. #vss365 #poetry #dream

I can hardly believe it, but both my new poetry book and my first paranormal romance novel are finished! 😁 If everything continues to go on schedule, the poetry book will be published in Spring 2026 and the novel in Summer 2026!

Icicles whisper, your breath warms the space between us, winter learns our names. #haiku #poetry #icicles

I would cross empty cities and unmarked roads with no map but the pull of your name. Distance becomes a suggestion when you are waiting. I would travel through weather, doubt, and dark just to stand close enough to feel your breath. Anywhere becomes home the moment I reach you. #vss365 #travel

Your silence stays cold like moonlight on empty hands. My heart waits anyway. #haiku #poetry #cold

I want you in the quiet way hunger waits. Desire pools in my chest, steady & patient. You move through my thoughts like heat through stone. Every choice narrows until you're the sole direction. I feel myself leaning toward you without permission. Even restraint knows your name. #vss365 #sole

Pastoral fields wait for footsteps that never come, my heart grazes alone. #haiku #poetry #pastoral

I love you like a planet that never cools. My devotion burns red and distant, like Mars. You look at me and see only empty sky. Every signal I send drifts unanswered. I keep orbiting, loyal to the pull that won’t claim me. Even barren worlds can ache for life. #vss365 #poetry #mars

Wild heart, untamed eyes, but I get only heartache from loving a bear. #haiku #poetry #bear

Loving you is instinct, not decision. It happens without asking my permission. I reach for you the way lungs reach for air. Even in silence, you're what keeps me steady. Without you, everything tightens, grows urgent. With you, I remember how to live. #vss365 #poetry #air

Affection, profuse, falls where no hands wait to catch. Love still blooms alone. #haiku #poetry #profuse

I love you in the quiet spaces you never enter. My hope waits where your certainty already moved on. Every kindness I don't receive feels like a eclipsed sun. To want you is a daily struggle I never confess. I keep choosing you, even when you don’t choose me. #vss365 #poetry #struggle

Silent night lingers, one stocking still waits alone, cold lights blink for you. #haiku #poetry #night

The lights look sadder this year, each bulb a poor substitute for the light you gave me. Carols drift past like notes I no longer sing. I keep trying to survive this season on memory and stubborn breath. Another solitary Christmas passes, and I'm still here, loving you. #vss365 #poetry #survive

Merry Christmas to all! www.threads.com/@allyson.jou...

I tend the garden where your love never takes root. Still, I water hope. #haiku #poetry #garden

I line my hope along the edge of your silence, waiting for a sign that never comes. My love lifts its hands anyway, reckless and bare, as if devotion alone could change the outcome. I tell myself not to shoot, not to risk the echo of refusal, but my heart keeps aiming for you. #vss365 #shoot

No matter where I go, you’re stitched into my quilt of days, warm, lasting, always. #haiku #poetry #quilt

It would be so easy to reach for you again, to pretend the past has softened with time. Every look dares my heart to jump, to forget the nights it learned how to break quietly. But longing isn't the same as healing, and I can't offer my chest to another wound. #vss365 #poetry #jump

Your love, my overcoat, cold winter yields to your heat, I walk through snow warm. #haiku #poetry #overcoat

I'd stand with the patience of Saturn, waiting without complaint. I'd relearn my name if it meant you'd say it softly. I'd shoulder every doubt like a quiet vow. I'd choose you in storms, in stillness, in the absence of reward. If proof is required, let my staying be the evidence. #vss365 #saturn

I wait through long nights, your love hovers like solstice light learning to stay. #haiku #poetry #solstice

I'll stand here when the rooms go quiet and the easy exits start to look tempting. My love doesn't depend on your certainty. I choose yo even when choosing is a fight. I'll keep showing up, steady and unarmed, loving you without asking you to be ready. #vss365 #poetry #fight

Each time I see you, my heart forgets its own age, love always blooming. #haiku #poetry #blooming

I've learned to love you quietly, to carry my wanting like a folded letter. Your happiness matters more than my ache, so I keep my hope humble, unannounced, and patient. I want to stand close enough to warm you, not to claim you. Some love survives by asking for nothing. #vss365 #poetry #humble

Unanswered footsteps echo through the long winter, my warmth waits alone. #haiku #poetry #winter

I carry the bruise of your leaving like a pressed flower, still fragrant. You taught me how deep I could feel, even when the lesson came with pain. There's gratitude in knowing my heart works, that it chose love, even here. #vss365 #poetry #gratitude
