Such warmth can spool From a candle’s flame, Even as it’s life drains Into a pool of #wax… Light threads push back What darkness claims, So a soul can sustain Against the cold and black… #vss365 #poetry

As a Meat Cutter #Gloves of latex wrap my hands A second skin to stand before The death repurposed for Communities searching for A source of nourishing… But, only if the have the means To spend… #vss365 #poetry

Power swings as a binary… An invisible pendulum Indivisible from time’s tick… Verily, does it sit On the liminal Between another individual And your own grip #poetry

I am a hard man Sculptured by the hands Of principle Polished by salt and sand To round the edges of my ego Humbly was I made to stand Without shelter, bed, or #pillow To dream of a gentler land Where I could soften Around my people… #vss365 #poetry

Life is beholden to an unknown #Dice thrown in the ethos… We know not, as to those, Whom will roll past our paths… Some will leave us in disgust, Manifested through their cowardice… While others lift spirits up, Past the heavens, To where the dice crash… #vss365 #poetry #BlackSkyRelay

You set conditions for the world before you’ll agree to love it for what it is, and you wonder why it seems that Earth is hell. #Poetry #MicroPoem #BlueskyPoetry

The color of Solitude is Green, At least for me, In my #remote patch of wilderness… My hopes are in the overgrowth, My dreams are leafy thickets… Unbeaten paths holds no hindrance To a soul that sings of scenery… This Green led me to Solitude, Where remoteness holds me greedily… #vss365

How foolish it was to believe it was our right to judge when we asked ourselves a complex question but would only indulge a simple answer that assuaged our pain, our guilt, our shame, our fear. #Poetry #SkyPoet

At times a mind tries To fit #divine skin Over spirits akin To the hope held within A heart… Eyes grow dark To the very human parts Being idolized To fantasize a savior… For, it is all too human To want a savior #vss365 #poetry #BlackSkyRelay

Present to us a surface clear and clean With a mask that cast smiles like harmony Let us bask… Let us not ask of the #chaos Circling eyes above those smiles pristine… Leave us ignorant and blind To your thoughts #vss365 #poetry #BlackSkyRelay

I wish not to freeze at moments lost But my day dreams of your #temptation I lay awaken with your essence sought Sleeplessly seeking sensations caught Within the silence of shared sheets Lying vacant… #vss365 #poetry #BlackSkyRelay

We arrive at an impasse clear So near are we…so far are we With fingertips that brushed with fear The tentative words spoken dear… With love’s #arrival yet to be We walk…we step…on gingered feet Afraid to hinder dreams felt deep Or fall into the depths beneath #vss365 #poetry #BlackSkyRelay

Bells and birds Chirps and chimes heard Faith in freedom unperturbed By dissonance’s development #poetry #BlackSkyRelay

The #brakes could be disengaged… Progression could peddle ahead With ideas on fresher legs… I feel the coming trill Of brisk winds #vss365 #poetry #BlackSkyRelay
