Phoenix And 🐦‍🔥 Crow Lily and a Evan

I think of you in sunshine. The chaos of the wind. I remember you in laughter. In softly falling rain. You are the salty tears. You come to me in darkness. Take away my breath. I hear you in the stillness As you softly call my name. But mostly you are sorrow. The face of all my pain #vss365 #poem

I think of you in sunshine.
The chaos of the wind. 
I remember you in laughter.
In softly falling rain. 
You are the salty tears.
You come to me in darkness.
Take away my breath.
I hear you in the stillness
As you softly call my name. 
But mostly you are sorrow.
The face of all my pain.

Lily’s essence Crow flew Escaping her Into another Of the Phoenix Witches Life’s I’ve tried, To drag her Back to finish Turning off The Landican lights Owl “Lily, you’ve not Said a goodnight, Nevermind your goodbye” #poetry #bluesky #writing The Landican fields and house By Kieth Gardner

The grass Hisses A snake’s leather, Slithers Over the fall Of Labour’s fruit The outcast’s The flesh in its memory The Adder Ties the master’s Nest of Vipers To virgin platts As the viper Wraps the knuckles Ready for Strange handshakes The Cobra, Hides in a Tempestuous wake #poetry

Silence is the starkest ink she fills her pen with it, and shooting stars become daggers aiming for her flesh What is real? Her heart plays fast & coy while she stacks flimsy dreams upon phantom shoulders Desire and reality growl at one another in a lonely room with no brick to conjure a bridge.

Dim room with two windows, a wooden chair, and a red rose resting on top.

Parents, Took out at The traffic lights The boy Was barely A tike Adopted life Phoenix Witch Knows all about A unloved life Stuck with nanny A crazy cat lady Grandad Sits on a bed Of smelly beer tins "Such a delightful boy, Ignorance from elders It's a terrible sin" The Phoniex Witch said #poetry

The skin of A familiar nose The fruits of her Black Rose Her teeth, At the skin Of his claws Facing her Kindred flames A black birds past Begins to strike Through her Lonely midnight “There’s the Red Rose The Phoenix calls, To cast more of your stones Now, show me the Lily I know” #poetry
