i kissed your clavicle again last night from light years away and wondered would you quiver at the touch as i do at the thought i kissed your hip in again last night from a million wishes away and you tasted like something between heaven and home #pennedreveries

. there is no glory in potatoes no majesty in garlic yet they please my palate make me salivate and the splendor of sharing a meal we cooked together would taste divine #vss365 #poetry

. how long will we stay separated this way, will we meet again in another realm to become lovers— or never look into each other's eyes for eternity #fromoneline #poetry

#vss365 #stellar

. these times so very different from all others... a fear never thought I'd feel chaos breaking out all over the world— hate & great anxiety reaching for memories of love to soothe me remembering the way he loved & his stellar poetry #vss365 #poetry

how long will we stay calling love a promised land? what do we know of it if pleasure is all we name? it is touch fever the #bouncy pulse of bare skin but also dark & blues madness fused with wisdom a door flung wide past the senses both the wings & the abyss #FromOneLine 406 #vss365 #blueskypoets

. you were everything I needed, but we met in a moment that didn't belong to us. —Internet

where soft winds sigh the swallows fly upon the cusp of light #vss365

I know of rising and setting I know the pace of a day though clouds obscure my need, I follow and wait for those precious breaks of blue, a slip of hope to my ever watchful eyes if you were worried about me don't my roots dig deep I always find water and the sun is as faithful as my love #vss365

When the old me died a new version appeared— you came to meet her on the shore, arriving on a wave that roared as I sprang from the foamy sea your eyes locked on to me in that moment magic occurred— an intertwining of you & I like the mingling of sun & sky now I flow in you & you shine upon me.

. give and take two way street smoldering together he gave me the breath of hope created electricity in my veins, kept my heart pounding exuberantly— I pray he feels the same of me #inkmine #poetry

Listening to the bird’s song Expertly woven, I inspected All the echoes that went wrong- And in my heart I was #dejected. #quatrain #emoetry #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity

. how we bend the rules of our heart & soul when falling in love, the insanity that overwhelms our rational mind— reason and logic lost to emotion #vss365 #poetry

I remember the music as words danced to & fro smiles were the sounds of birds twittering at the first light of day laughter rose to the heavens heralding a joy that no angel's trumpet could even match pleasure struck like lightning to passions thunder but now not even a murmur can be heard #vss365

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
