There are no words to describe the growth from always imagining death as escape into accepting this as my chosen life from which running's unnecessary I am very sad to say goodbye to that neural pathway the universe is conspiring and I'm sobbing wow what an ache if only I had words #poetry

#poetry There's a glimmer A certain twinkle, glowing Like starburst Or fireworks With every glance As we lock eyes An inaudible expression Decodes, each wordless cue Disarming or unlocking In those moments Where all time Seems to cease Darkness meets brilliance & our obstacles Become shadowplay

#poetry I stop to ask a question As I linger most abruptly For a daffodil to answer On her varicolored country But absurdly she refuses In a field of wild flowers To comprehend my query When at home we talk For hours

Molting I cradle this old fragile heart That still finds it necessary to break During these tender moments Where the love I feel outgrows it Letting the skin crumble away And in its place, delicate new skin That life will toughen once more #Poetry #WritingCommunity #PoetsOfBlueSky #PoetrySky

#poetry We tried to find common ground That land of shifting sands beneath A quickening of more steady hands Couldn't save us from the deep So we fell together, in that spot Funny though, how fate will plot For mortal enemies to sleep In hallowed, common ground To struggle against What they reap

#poetry The singularity is here It's just unevenly distributed They shouted, at nobody near As a world economy traded Biological consciousness For philosophical zombies Which was quite amusing When it seems pretty clear From the zombie apocalypse We need a new philosophy Not something new to fear

#poetry I glimpsed it once Eternity, all folded Like a ball of bands Not made in rubber Nor by string, but Loops that close On everything It shone gossamer As if superposed In topology, not Bounded by any Particles to orient While I gazed in awe So suddenly it went

Mirrorpools #poetry There's a certain glee When I recognize In someone else A part of me As if we tuned in To the same frequency From some confluence Of shared reality You, a looking glass While I contemplate Our mirror symmetry It's so nice to see That you recognize me As a looking glass too

#poetry There's something here beneath The code of life, repeated Complex art in random walk, bequeathed To us, as if entropy was defeated In a vacuum, nothing's broken Symmetry, contained annihilation Virtual pairs in metastable energy Collide & cancel out each action What ratio is life's fraction?

#poetry My methods are madness I take quantum physics Formulate wavefunctions To watch them collapse Calculate path integrals To hang them with strings Create axioms from math To trace out the Laplacian All as entropy increases & Maxwell's demon laughs

#poetry #mpprompt #strange #rock They dug through the plate By machines built with grace As Earth gave way to a great Bifurcation of space The crust hewn in two Both sides fell into place So beneath, plain in view Was a bottomless void This invalidated theories & was rather hard to avoid

#poetry #wildwalkprompt #shoots There's a classic grammarian issue That changes depending on skill From description of how pandas eat To a food patron panda's next kill You can probably discover What changes these meanings If the answer strikes you as pleasing Post it Quill

#poetry In parting with hierarchy We smash subeconomic particles So each rational participle dangles Where any particular designs Lead to participation in Dismantling the partitions Of a tripartite world Partnered in capitalism To partly enslave us With ideological parties Or partisan politics

Bunnies They’ve formed a parliament inside my shed passing laws about crumbs and declaring me dead. One stole my left shoe to use as a boat, it paddled round the birdbath while requesting the vote. And last night I caught one wearing my coat, and hosting a séance with a neighbouring goat.

#JumbledJuly what nonsense?, go on then Your prompt is

#poetry I fell out of step Which synced out of time With a thousand new moments That could have been mine A proximal jump Not so hard to align But the path wasn't right On nine hundred ninety nine

#poetry We only partially choose The paths we set out to take With a million separate pulls From the choices others make While another's proven path Isn't always something true For anyone but themselves There are still things you can do Try to replicate what works But also recognize what hurts

#poetry #ekphrastic Staring at the tracers Watching them take flight As they launch another volley All our hopes & dreams alight In the distance, way in back I spy a child steeped in wonder As the fireworks fade to black With some artificial thunder #art #photography #digitalart #photoediting

The rumours are true. This #villanelle bug is catching. Nobody to blame this time but myself. #poetry #5amclub #poetrycommunity

O what power this poetry has To render a reader in deepest misery Or extend their heights through euphoria Dependent simply upon an author's choice Yet, the paradox presents: You, the reader, choose your feelings I only present to you The opportunity To feel. #Poetry #PoetrySky #PoetsOfBlueSky

#poetry #ekphrastic She rose by convection Like a flickering flame But mostly in conviction That nothing's the same While the fire consumes The heat will transform All to ash, she presumes As she's suddenly born #art #photography #digitalart #photoediting
