Not every line unread matters the same to everyone better to reverse into night be a moth silent rather than a butterfly seeking ripples #poetry

The lake stands still, seems like years ago I let the wrath of those beloved sink there. Words silence better in the grey, clouds press on change heavily but with sympathy. The lake stands still, after all these years, awaiting the next storm, like me. #poetry #photography 📷 by me

Surround yourself with the kind of people who make small talk with stray animals.

I sometimes wonder why I fall for these short story books but I do :) Treat for myself today.

This mind is beautiful I can say that now body is broken but my mind is wild and vivid deserves a highlight credit where due soul says I rest in knowing I can only do what is possible buttermilk soothes the sting #poetry

It must be hot today, my lip balm melted, soft rose mush. Like myself, I laugh. I have lived in darkness for too long, the light waving from corners at odd times. Realistically, when you let shadows overtake, you are reborn, craving to be who you are when the lights are off and no-one answers.

I think I have earned some sleep. Goodnight peeps...be kind to yourselves and to others 💛

I have heard quaking hedgerows many times by full moon bright ritualistic in fairy rings I've listened to their horror stories #BSPP52

I'll bring the dessert just bring the waves to me #SenseWrds

Pressing into the glistening roses apparent, a beautiful yearning, held back by a sigh seems it's always 9 p.m. when midnight fits better growls louder with clarity stars heave out of sight a new moon urgently invites the heart to shimmer #OurPoetryX

Busy aura of the falling night. Crickets are singing for monsoon to drown the skies and I join them with smiling lullabies. I feel alive in this season, aglow. Remembering the rain will wash the slate clean and new chapters can claim. #poetry #photography 📷 by me

When you look out and see a squirrel nibbling. What more can the heart say pleases it? Such fragility, such strength. The blessings of nature are many, the sweetness of existence a walk into acceptance that now is all that matters. #poetry #photography 📷 by me

It's been a month...today I received some news I had been praying for. Life is ups and downs but I am so grateful for the pauses and the energies that sail you through tough times. Have a lovely weekend everyone :)

You get tired of purging then what are words for a garland to remind myself #poetry

I skipped over broken limbs on my walk this evening parts of trees blown by wind from the wild storm earlier all the time thinking could it be me to blame confusion is a harsh play unsure as to the whys I kept skipping branch over leaf nothing more can be said flowers agreed #poetry

She's coming raw power unfiltered I whisper welcome #poetry

Pre-monsoon storm...what a belter and now the crickets sing 😍

Then let me share love with you my dear Sunlit

The slaughter merciless never having been the golden sun I knew nothing could hurt more condemnation lured liberation painful precision makes sense now nothing makes sense I let it almost kill me a wound still bleeding bonds burning may the Gods hold me some pain is too much to mourn #poetry

A cup of tea for anyone in shock after Bluesky went down, I'll go first 😅

In these clouds darkly ambient I see myself no longer wishing to be not I rather to drown before and in the fire #poetry #photography 📷 by me

A gentle reminder...

Is there such a thing as morbid curiosity or is simply the true self obsessed with a reality other than reality where they can be real the real be them #Weirdmicro

Who doesn't love a flower? #7syllablesentence

Goats in coats that would make my day as much as sharing strawberries beneath trees #BedroomEyes

I have always jumped in phantom puddles searching the deep for ripples or answers craving the water would soak to the bone wash away the harsh quality of being me a mother to everyone except herself such is a stinging Thursday epiphany rain always looked good on me #BSPP52

When you walk in the heat and overestimate just how hot it still is at nighttime 🥵

There's a point where life will shake you and when it does, it demands answers you have cloaked all your days. Those answers are best reflected on when you realise they are actually questions and how long you wish to burn. Would time be reversible, perhaps choices would carry more weight. #poetry

It spills from half open mouth crawling backwards leaving shards in a wake of blazing restlessness one more word slithers away before you know it you grab it holding so tight it dies before it hits the page #poetry

Monsoon is quite the actress from practice to performance a shadowy invitation looms breathtaking silence filters out the numb clouds whisper it's ok it's more than fine to be angry or cry let tears fall with rain #BraveWrite

You find lost voices in stone. The kind of voices that have never been heard or seen, the kind that have known ache and pain in life. So many voices. My own added to the list, circling the ether, looking for a place to nestle and feel at home. Old souls know Maya well. #poetry #photography 📷 by me

Struck by her face, I leaned into beauty for a while. A dazed week it has been, over brimming with changes and emotion. We all want to feel immortal, live pecefully until the next drop of rain finds parched lips but moments hang around for no-one. There's only now. #poetry #photography 📷 by me

Here, my prayers are held, given a home. Where hawks are ever present and guide my way, peace gives bones a moment to gather strength. Here, I am nothing yet part of the everything, a journey ongoing, paused in no expectation except love. #poetry #photography 📷 by me

Goodnight peeps. Be kind to yourself and to others 💛

Somehow this rose perfume when faded smells like cigarettes on pulse points hot and flowering #poetry

She has a healthy obsession with vampires, creatures that conjur surreal moonlight summon crimson passions she has a healthy obsession nocturnal hours hold her in seductive shadow nightfall is her time and theirs #poetry

Isn't she beautiful the gracious night birch sway so gently like my heartbeat never in one way they dance fluidly isn't she stunning the soothing darkness I can see better now #poetry

Which one are you? Life's too short to read a book if it is boring and leave it OR read it anyway and see what all the hype is about?

(archaic language but still useful) “cat-lap” = tea and coffee The WhimWham Man gave up alcohol years ago. All he has now is cap-lap but he’s not complaining!

"The Shape Of Water" Incredible visions Flow through the water Images from yesteryear Are created in waves A whirlpool of dreams Flashed through thoughts Diving into what we believe An ocean of imaginations Create loved ones not real #vss365 #water

Floating in the breeze Silk dancing in the whisper Heartbeat of the spring #haiku #photography #magnolia
