love is beautiful & dangerous it plays at being a mountain a snow capped peak beautiful to gaze at you have trails to walk lakes to visit but the eruption is chaos life, just survival after there is order & peace the story however inevitable holds sadness the landscape forever changed #vss365

A quiet beginning 'do not cross' it rambles along without a thought what does a duck think in all it's feathers does it think about the treat beneath the crab apple tree or the yard with pears hanging or the willow that once grew across the road #poetry

covered in wrinkles I am still a sour fruit, ripening slowly #vss365 #fruit

in that garden we lay we both ate each other's fruit and the knowledge did not cause us to cast each other out we stayed and paradise became more idyllic is for children but still I felt like I was playing the snake came after for it hates not only the fantastical but also the real #vss365

in moments I can look back and feel the summer sun in a field of wildflowers the perfect cooling breeze and you loved me like autumn chill nights leaves burning in the morn some days I pretend you're not gone just a violet in the shade gone shy so, I let you be and sip slow my tea #SenseWrds 250

To stand, feeling foggy, tending toward the slants of the past, the ones where an important detail must be overlooked just to cope; we last when there’s a dream to be held and crumble when the nightmare is bared #promptcombo #emoetry #ampersandafterdark #poetry @jenthorne.bsky.social #vss365

I wanted to travel roads together I wanted to help I'm sad there are wounds I cannot tend to I'm sorry if I added hurt there's so much I wish to say but I've always honored your boundaries I don't understand the why but I know you deserve good things it's okay I'll make my own afterglow #vss365

Good morning! How are you holding up? What are you up to today? This is my favorite scented geranium (Pelargonium), with bonus bumblebee. I bought it as Concolor Lace years ago; it's also known by Schottesham Pet, which I think is a lovely name. It is laden with tiny, brilliant flowers all summer.

I saw your smile for the first time and there was light we talked with such energy it created matter and then when I felt your breath there was life who can say how there comes to be something from nothing but I shall always marvel at the act of creation and how my universe expanded

I felt the moment of your conception. A comet sparking into life, beginning a journey of wonder, deep in space. Later: alien arms and legs rippled under drum-tight skin. When you were born I was starstruck again. Such a wondrous creation. Where did you get those eyelashes, son?! #vss365 #creation

#vss365 #temptation When does Desire become Temptation? When the desired is off limits? Off whose limits? Oh, for the wisdom to know my unusual self without repeated stress past the failure point while I traverse the fine line between disaster and despair

I admire My #creation… An artificial Man Teach him how To walk and talk And how To understand He asks Of his purpose— If for him I have a plan Tell him He’s to be my slave And grant My e’er demand But, made him Too smart and strong… Now me He doth command. -dj #vss365

He's the chocolate frosting Indulgence she should have ignored But #temptation beckoned She was lonely Bored A finger scrape A taste Boy, she was hooked Lured him in With Femme-fatal looks This noir unfurls As the script decrees Claimed her next victim When the clock struck 12:30 #vss365 #poem

Is it temptation? Turn your face towards the sun and reach for the fruit In the garden of our love we embrace the stars and bloom. #vss365 #temptation #tanka #tankapoem #art #Circe #Waterhouse

there were times I wanted to scream to tell her in excrutiating detail the hurt the damage the emptiness the violence of hardening the heart that I prefer to wear on my sleeve but I didn't give in to the temptation of hurting back that's not me & she's dealing with more than I could know #vss365

Ruin a book by adding a word: Heart of Slight Darkness Lord of the Fruit Flies

when I'm strong enough I like to look at your picture you're looking at me the way you always looked at me & everytime I'd forget beautiful was a word it became a medium I was swimming in your face still has tremendous power over me even if sometimes it breaks me I hope that never changes #poetry

in the autumn dusk of life my past selves float before me I was true to myself in all of my phases I lost my zeal in a lot of sunsets but it always returned like the #arrival of dawn #vss365 #bionicanadian

Prompt 249 I saw a rainbow, Just before the North Star shone. Sitting by your side, Your ring now on my finger. You are home: where I belong. #SenseWrds #Tanka
