dew drops slide from tangerine eyes longing lost in torn cotton skies an ache that trembles on honey suckled vines dreams that drip from lilies lips never a misfit in nature #vss365 #misfit

over growth searching for you a phantom perennial in my fleabane garden #vss365 #phantom

quiet not a peep lest u anger dear commander in thief take stock of ur cruelty &hate the current currency of the state but careful how u deal ur own anger &rage only One allowed upon this stage as we enter the reign of the orange buffoon God knows, it can't end too soon #vss365 #dear sept25

eyes crack vision black i don't even like myself in this craven corner rubbing salt in places that bleed can't ease even simple needs fury at foundering fairness in fickle flesh & feckless bone soaking inside alone #vss365 #fury

these jaded lies i tell myself as i turn the other cheek begging for more #vss365 #jade

i know them the pack of #wolves always snipping at my heels telling me what I feel on this breathless flight wingless, becoming a free fall for things i never wanted heaviness presses in my chest vision obscured by fight or flight tendencies is one ever truly safe #vss365

trickery of dark dancing shadows belying true constants of light #vss365 #trickery #haiku

in hues of blue azure touches, stolen under navy skies moments of quickened breath squeeze tight in my ribs crashing seafoam on sun warm rocks becoming aquamarine & indigo sky in sapphire dreams the release in the softest shades of baby blues #vss365 #seafoam

endless looping scars form a map of human decent, is this what God meant, are some souls just designed to bleed #vss365 #loop

panic pounds pulsating pulmonary pathways, pushing past placid places permanent priorities plastered hard around positive possibilities urgencies pressed in paralyzed presumption #poetry

imagination fuels dreams #7syllablesentence #fuel

constant drumming low & steady feeling a million drops playing staccato on skin water running rivulets down finding stillness pooling around warmth resting on shallow ground a spring storm giving something real to feel a shift in atmosphere #vss365 #water

my pen constantly filled with sin & sorrowed hopes becomes a teacher of how to cope to loose feelings deep within leaving space for love again #vss365 #pen

my life a revolving door around you exit and entrance one and the same a forever trap of everything you #vss365 #revolve

the tempest of man self fascination, hate, greed never dissipates #vss365 #fascinate #haiku

a familiar voice blackbirds trill at my window bearer of springs song #HaikuSaturday

isolate, ignore a meditation in the mediation of meaning where truths translate to mirages in the vastness of the maddened mind maybe god can understand these overcast skies #vss365 #mediate #overcast

i fold you into my softest corners away from the hard sharp angles of my heart a gentle love meant to surpass time & distance that separates a celestial caress entreating us not to let go #vss365 #entreat

to surpass all things blackened from winters frozen fingers the suns spring warmth assures new growth green promises of revel #vss365 #surpass #assure #warmth

loss of resonance absence of tone and tenor flattened notes world out of tune dissonant chords played on hardened heart strings lost harmony i struggle to find the key #vss365 #harmony written Aug 2024

gramma said #lightning only strikes once still i sit high on this mountain praying for rain to mingle with tears to cover fears another storm to set me free and still i wonder could a love like this really be real the swoon in my heart says yes, believe #vss365

tired moon, spellbound low glow rises, shimmering across these bare limbs #vss365 #spellbound #haiku

words becoming jewels pearls sparkling on your tongue the richness of love #haiku #vss365 #jewelry

thrombosing desire in dehydrated dahlias supplication for rain #poetry

to my sister, your tears fall sure disgrace stealing love from a sacred place you know it's wrong or why hide away? this love born in deaths &wishes you covet& steal hiding behind the penance of your own guilt you already wear the stain markings of shame just own it #poetry

forbidden hope an empty eye dying slowly timidity of truth ill gotten gains not a release but a keeper of pain #vss365 #timidity

these spaces i fall into time gaining velocity even as i stand still #vss365 #Velocity

grace of sliver moon subtle yet undiminished divided but whole #haiku

in a crazed minute belief and vulnerability died gravity presses weight of flesh & bone pinned to earthy ground eyes of stone once a field of stars burnt & fallen my hearts softest beat knowingly swallowed by your deceit #vss365 #crazed #knowingly

so tired goodbyes come quicker pieces chipped pried from my heart meaning becomes mystified clouding judgements even truths cease & flowers wilt missing a purpose #vss365 #mystified

sliding losing grip rain on mountainous terrain hard to gain traction #vss365 #mountainous #haiku

bouncy & flouncy you know the type, petaled up lace loose in the wind #vss365 #bouncy #haiku

becoming flat a floor without a door an effort to survive, to find proof that i'm alive enchantments & other fanciful things elude in these days of gray & darkest nights yet somehow, i do still believe in light #vss365 #enchanted

disenchanted moon moody illuminations reticence in clouds #vss365 #enchanted #haiku

miniscule just a small movement a shift these sour grapes products of broken stones griefs ugly face this weakening of fabrication to tired to hold or to have just feeling meh, sad deplete an unblooming #vss365 #miniscule

sweet clematis dreams mornings glorious kisses under cotton skies #vss365 #kiss

a lacuna of time becoming fluid slipping from the silvered moon a breath exhaled into space surface tension breaks ripples from a dream awake, love is never as it seemed stitched in dreams #vss365 #lacuna

these aching bones held tight in a shallow shell #vss365 #bones

ready to step out of the pale a need for vivid for real ready to step through the veil back to living back from dead a place where, sun shines thru the vines &blood turns red in your heart &mine #vss365 #pale

amber waves of grain wear an ugly stain corruption &greed lady liberty kicked to her knees an open #wound across our land open hearts &hands hold neighbors make it real help heal overcame hate demand liberty &justice demand truth deny the hypocrisy ruling our land #vss365

longing lingers long after lambent light lifts lilting lemon drops lost in litanies of loving leaving little left but lustrous leavening #vss365 #lambent

arid days dehydrated dreams dusted skin parched lips ghosts of words wants slip dry of meaning #vss365 #ghost

i've hollowed my heart a trend not to bend to hide the pain the stain i've closed my eyes so as not to see the emptiness surrounding me waiting for nothing #vss365 #pain

behind mounting clouds line the sunken moon with ash softening the dark #haiku

shadows cling formed in half light years lay heavy reordering, relabeling a retractable soul mantels dried in time become cancer to this heart of love #vss365 #soul #shadow

colored in wildflower fields indigo rivers flow through mental ravines bathing delicates in sunshine gold birds simple songs soothe softness this, this a piece of bliss don't wanna miss #vss365 #soothe

the width of a butterfly wing brushed to light in dreams a space in between where knowing is, all it seems slow the thrum loosen the weight a soft reprieve from hate a special place to keep my ladybug heart #vss365 #thrum

#cusp of day stillness thrums on dragonfly breath dreams #wane reality limits glow aching need stays this butterfly #quiver deep in my breast but a #ruse of love #vss365

meaning slips away nothing but plumb over peach your hand warm in mine #vss365 #slip #haiku

unmoored loose in water life storms change tone and terror yet never lose momentum these lies i've listened too my whole life the drizzle never ends no sunshine in this space i've been left to bleed a matrix of unmet needs #vss365 #drizzle
