I said “maybe” you’re gonna be the one that saves me

Waiting for the heart to get up again to finish breaking

the world is smaller in the dark, the universe is evermore vast; still I search for a whisper in the din of #chaos, and kindness in the shadow of humiliation; i tend the deadheads at the foot of my gravestone, hoping beauty will sooner grow from disaster #vss365 #emoetry #humiliated

It's hard to be a feather when the world is a rock #poetry

temptation is the bane hope is the torment realization is the agony submission is the torture devotion is the delusion death is the release #vss365 #temptation #emoetry #devoted

I don’t want my innocence back. You can’t restore something taken with so many types of violence. And I quite like who I’ve become— fighting upwards and out of the hole I was left to die in. #Poetry #BlueskyPoetry #MythicPoetry

Hanging baskets the sun recoils the soil is quietly grieving a measuring tape a kidney bean

sea of memories reflecting from its grim coast to drown is easy #vss365 #coast #haiku

Planet today, the audacity of the sun punk-sprung and deadly, like the glass lamps we couldn’t stop touching. Free to a good home, it sank down the side of my face, and I cried like a planet, while the sun like my eyes were free and to a good home, while the it shone.

the #cadence of his footfalls descending seemed to slow, but only as compared to my heart stampeding to escape its cage, and to my mind racing to disassociate; both being better off in the shadows of #weepy nightmares, than in the light of violence promised and violence done #vss365 #emoetry

viewing old pictures thousands of hateful words mirrors of his past #inkmine #picture #haiku

ascending moon, what's the point of this & me ...she doesn't answer #vss365 #ascend #haiku

one more taste to chase the tremor a #needle records the lie a #turn of the screw masquerades as life the pain of it swells w/ pleasure —leavetaking is the path of least resistance to choke on the #rotten seeds of a garden in ruin as the pupils are wide w/ the truth #vss365 #emoetry #wildwalkprompt

I pray to touch, to hold, to keep what is aflame. I am changing, transforming, aching. Flowing, pausing, pulsating cosmic trails. I am, I tell myself. I am, I repeat. I am but life replies that dawn is an illusion. Hands outheld to the wild, trees hear this fall and re-invent my call.

This photo cutting a metal train a smooth spark this morning he wants to run and he’s crying everyone I knew was onboard catch you everyone And I’m running and I’m running and he’s crying and I’m not ready and I’m flying a bus home it hurts to look at

a feast of marrow so thrives his balance of sins until nothing's left #vss365 #balance #haikuhorrorprompt #marrow #haiku

these dreams #depart like webs on the wind in a tangled bramble of silkless litterfall even the final hope cannot free the straitjacket - bedazzled by bloody bite marks and thrashing scores - too tight, too small like a throat in shock scars screaming in the darkness without a word #vss365

It fell on us from the rafters making us half tar-blind dripping into our coffee at the neighbours’ house we flicked as cigarette ash onto the carpet left us where we fell walked to work the usual way shaking hands with a dust bunny turned this into a bitumen river itching to burst the bank

the beauty of a #rose lies not in its petals nor in its fragrance, but in the single-minded devotion of its thorns #vss365

peeling back the skin from fingernail to knuckle from temple to growing smile it's the only way to reveal where the guilt lies feeding sin through bloated veins that spill and stain to black the soul where eternal rivers flow #vss365 #revealing #emoetry #guilty

For every time you told me your sigh is a frown and your girl is a woman with your downward face your face so drawn I am moving with it down down with salt lips that is, I am making a note in my palm and a soundless sound across a soundless salted living room, that is I kiss it to you.

#vss365 #poetry Amber hues dance in delight Reflected in the silent shimmer Of the moon and its stars Across a velvet dark sky Within your eyes And so I #swoon A little love drunk Forgetting the break of dawn Time stopping to swoon too In a galaxy just for me and you

i've sat in the shade while ages passed; friend only to a puddle by my side. everyday, she shows me the sun #swoon to the moon's sultry shimmer, and the folly in the sway as this mighty oak withers. patiently she plies her ways, until i too am reduced to a puddle engorging our loneliness #vss365

The wind is fierce I need such ferocity to talk to the elements to hold my arms wide embrace the wild I want to howl bare feet dappled here it roars again caressing my awe 📷 by me #poetry #photography #trees

the kiss of frost light tips blue the easy pasture I wait for you #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #pasture

you, an insect lie there benign and suffocated in the sea’s upsetting knuckle clicking her ghosts are immaculate throats full of your long dead grass

pedal down, I play notes on a drowning surface, scatterbrained a primordial hum of silt and undersea I press a key to hear what one hand says to the other to drown, in whispers #supercilious as our hemispheres #vss365 #emoetry #poetryprompt

on a good day, the present is numb. an #appraisal by dissonance and fire, trapped between time's weeping entropies. sorrow was never meant to be a synecdoche for life, but i fail to see a future blessed without unrelenting tearfall. today is not a good day. #vss365

what is a will to live but a dalliance with #apprehension just one more tattoo of slender sliver just another sleepless night at the whim of dissatisfaction life and will aren't coterminous when its maker is met, so too is mine excuse me, i have a will to kill #vss365
