. marooned in my arms by the wind wandering deserts and oceans, he saved my life kept me afloat hella spectrum of emotions midnight moon intoxicating— orgasmic fantasies otherworldly dreams ecstacy & sorrow linger in my chest his ghostly essence still haunts me #inkmine #poetry

Morning.

this fascinates me

in blue liquid sapphire dreams shipwrecked upon his shores, a true love waits on golden sands of tides and time the shape of a heart tattooed on his arm with our initials #vss365 #poetry

. the way he made his light bend through the prisms in his eyes, reflecting upon my heart the most beautiful colors of love I had ever seen — having no parallel in its affect on my soul #vss365 #poetry

. apocalyptic thoughts running through my mind, trampling on all the peaceful imaginings and dreams for the future— and especially the now #poetry

. the future holds for us dreams and questions an obvious clash of fantasy and reality and since we met your name has been a daily prayer creating visions of us together— doing things we might do heartache lives in my ribcage my soul misses you #vss365 #poetry

. hanging on for dear life when the tide rolls out desperation in abstraction‐— being exposed and vulnerable when I fell for you #vss365 #poetry

There was a dream she had of holding hands into the sunset of our life, a dream of laying in chaise lounges in Portugal after all our hard work, a dream of owning our forever home on the sea, a dream of walking each other to our ends- I grieve for the dream that is no more #vss365 #poetry

. our dreams to be together are neither nascent or promising— they have lived within our hearts for lifetimes and have died a quiet death of lingering anticipation #vss365 #pennedreveries #poetry

it was only a matter of time the symbiosis would evolve the pain of apart becomes too hard to survive I'd like to believe it was as perfect as it all seemed that we wrote a beautiful story borne of a truly wonderful love that if the dreams were just too much it's because we couldn't touch #vss365

. looking through rain-streaked windows watching paths raindrops take on their way to the ground... wondering if he will walk up the sidewalk to find me one day or if we'll meet through a different doorway in time— shoot for the moon in another universe #vss365 rv #poetry

recovery becomes a temptation only when direction disappears as your legs part in welcome I seek the silence where guidance sits on parted lips for the moment I can only see where light pours lowering my tongue to hover where secrets balance uncovered I savor redemption's taste

We shape our world with our minds…time to leave the negative thoughts behind 💖💝

. if there was ever a love divine it was with you it's been a struggle to let you go your name echoes in my chest— barely a whisper now #vss365 #poetry

Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas :)

. the fruits of our labors lessons learned humble pie disappointments we've survived staying alive people we loved who dearly loved us back— these ghosts haunt us daily #vss365 #poetry

of course she was always melancholy she was a feel you girl in a see you world

. our story never leaves me it was vulnerable deep & real— I felt it in my bones it was my greatest wish, my heart's devotion... I could not let go even though in the end truly understanding why it didnt work it wasn't our time and I've no regrets #vss365 #poetry

Gentle Reminder

"The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters." – Antonio Gramsci [from his Prison Notebooks, 1929-1935]

. there was a certain something about him that sent electricity through my body a natural sincerity between us in the poetry he wrote when I was his muse and he was mine drifting away hurts more than words can say #pennedreveries #poetry

Going through the old phone notes tonight...✍🏼 A comfort that can’t be undone Essence of the purest love- Free, no chains or shackles Yet we are each others key Eyes wide open kind of love ~M. Mann #poetry #writingcommunity #leaves #photography #heartsinnature #love #eastcoastkin #imageandverse

. looking through windows of time, replaying memories of our illicit loveletters... their innocence their fire— slowly I morph into a chemical reaction feeling the power of love's fascination our affinity and a deep understanding #vss365 #poetry

peace this holiday season 🎄

. separate rooms in a chaotic world spirit seeking peace and shelter from life's storms— feeling alone yet safe being in a place on this earth that draws me to it and feels like home doesn't mean I don't love you #poetry

you have fallen asleep again these days, you just get tired being awake I found religion I thought you should know for I believe strongly that I color your dreams it is a prayer every night before I sleep you do not need to worry of my dreams for you color my waking world & that is enough #poetry

. he was chivalrous to me & I felt it his words were his armor different personas pen of gold he knew how to touch me love is still there filling a vessel in my heart etching his name across my chest— with every breath it rises and falls in love with him over & over again #vss365 #poetry

. we should have stopped— I knew it in my mind but heart & soul hungered for a man to make me feel the kinds of things you made me feel again #fromoneline 367 #poetry

. we've been round the circle the pounding heart kind of love— a desire I felt only for you never quite got to the place we wanted & when we touched... there was always distance between us #foxprose #poetry

. reckless in seducing each other fascinated by their sensual attraction, losing themselves in poetic expression while making love on a straw bed in a glass house built on sand it didn't matter to them— anticipation was its own sin #vss365 #foxprose #poetry

. do our souls hold the ghosts of all the versions of ourselves we have been— in life's glorious and harrowing life situations speaking to us of the pain learning truths that scarred them, how they miss physical touch and warm arms around them #vss365 #poetry

And it's up! 💚

. grateful for all of you this holiday season and always. mean it.

. pent up emotions monsters & creatures aching inside— yearning for the presence of his energy the way he could exude excitement so easily missing past loves and lovers where love existed beyond measure on this melancholy day #vss365 #poetry

. bruised egos and broken hearts when they finally gave up on passion's journey starcrossed lovers holding on dearly for an endless time— silence sealing their fate #bornbattleready #poetry

. one goal in her life was to find a man who shared laughter and mirrored passion throughout a lifetime she met a few— the one she wanted was an illusion #vss365 #poetry

my plants getting a little break from the rain. more coming tomorrow and Tuesday ☂️

give me the faith of your matter give me the #science of your soul give me the astronomical equation to explain this serendipity give me the serenity of belief accepting the miracle of this bewitching fate show me whim show me wisdom just let my heart burn as it will #vss365

I watched you fly into the past or future, I know not I now hold the threads twigs, & twine you were a universe and I could have been more curious but there was too much know and questions were best left to science everything now is looking back I remember your warmth always on cold days #vss365

some fires never burn out

Beautiful November~ In all its shades of foreboding absence ~M. Mann #photography #november #poetry #writersofbluesky #trees #leaves

let me feel your breath arms collared around me I want your lips a whisper away my hands at rest on your hips still. listen. it's a heartbeat that speeds and slows just by the way your eyes move now I am going to move a little closer for nothing shall come between us #vss365

Drops of November rain mingled with my tears— I missed you, and the clouds responded to my pain I was grateful for their empathy & the comfort that they gave as I grieved you through those long November days. #BedroomEyesPrompt #NovemberRain

just as gravity has its law your allure is as irrefutable to me pulled drawn powerless against the undeniable force matter to matter hearts to hearts the proximity of particles the closeness of you #vss365 #law
