As hard as I try I can't stop looking for your name your face on empty streets the music is silent these days I start to text then delete what is there to say already that isn't unsaid #poetry

Salt on the Tongue #poetry

Midnight Time ticks like heartbeats thrill in the veins the heart stops the heart sighs the heart lingers in spaces where I do not belong I want to remember your face the hidden words between heartbeats the reveries you claimed as ours but never were #poetry

I guess I should look at those notifications...

Poets of Bluesky — I built something small. You send a poem to a random stranger. They read it and write back with honest feedback. No profiles, no metrics. Just the poem. penpalpoets.com #poetry #poetsofbluesky #amwriting

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

My heart is young it's cracks yet to be made it blooms through lines in the sidewalk it's seeds adrift on the wind ready to land in a pocket to be carried next to your heart #poetry
