time gathers itself then breaks with the weight of wings all things are changed by the ripple that never leaves 🎨 mine

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

You remind me of The faint cigarette smell In a car On the way home In the middle of the rain In the dead of night In the haze I find nostalgic #chaos Embedded in my chest It gets hectic inside me When I watch you go From screen to screen In a parallel universe You smell like me #vss365

You have no courage at all. #7syllablesentence

Wind-stirred leaf lifts a dance Crisp packet goes higher Excitement entrances airflow A bin lid skips clamour down a street The tree missing a leaf bows and bounces Missed by a set of red roof tiles Flying by Chaos swirls gyroscope and all fall down Ruffled feathers, beak soothed, end a day #vss365

#poetry We tried to find common ground That land of shifting sands beneath A quickening of more steady hands Couldn't save us from the deep So we fell together, in that spot Funny though, how fate will plot For mortal enemies to sleep In hallowed, common ground To struggle against What they reap

A bowing of the head, a dimming of the sun. Death passes by. #PoetsOfDoom #TankaPuente #Funeralforabard #GlenHansard #NothingGoldCanStay @phylogeneticsteve.bsky.social @jenthorne.bsky.social @sonnetsmith.bsky.social @daveashleypoet.bsky.social

oh, my darling your words are receptacles for light and other gleanings and your shadows have befriended mine in the loveliest of ways #poetry

Yellow once more and the mind breathes in colours. I miss the glow of such vividness, flat land where the crows predict tomorrow. I know this heart is beating tired and it'll always seek yellow. #poetry #photography 📷 by me

Do you believe in second chances? In love that never dies, no matter how time dances, that this isn't our demise? #poetry #quatrain

#poetry To the apartment I thought I’d get in NY. To the plans we made to move out of town. To the seat I thought I’d have at your wedding. To the chair next to yours when we grew old. To your dreams of living in a boat. Each of you, hastily buried in a drawer of things I can’t look at anymore.

Something fell out. There's an elephant stalking me Casting shadows on my mind #poetry

''Time is slipping away" by Romanian artist Darius Hulea.

liar, I’ve been humiliated enough, ink is not dry on my death certificate there’s time to create more chaos in my calm, call me crazy; Nonsense is my anthem, resentment my rallying cry, It lands on deaf ears, blind eyes #emoetry #vss365 #solseed #vssmagic #inkMine #cassiopeian #poetry

He always said we were created by aliens towards the end we would look at the sky wondering like my Father I reflect on this time to time I don't think he was wrong #AugustAnarchy @daveashleypoet.bsky.social

adam and eve left behind the forbidden tree and we have been polishing the leaves for eons only to discover the fruit had all along been ripening within us #vss365 #fruit #poetry #oiloncanvas #fineart 🎨Johan Wenzel Peter

#bakedrhymes Oh Mother Lilith Teach me the limits Of satisfaction I am not meant To wait and wonder My soul Is meant to flow

For today's #tankapuente for #Poetsofdoom I took some liberties with the #mythology of an old Irish goddess #poetry Thanks to @jenthorne.bsky.social and @vignettes.bsky.social @daveashleypoet.bsky.social @sonnetsmith.bsky.social @phylogeneticsteve.bsky.social

#vss365 #Imagination imagine yourself on a high hill, in the year 1000 A.D. before an altar ringed with wild #fruit at the time before planting 

after the swim the sweetest peach of the summer

rain walking the valley sides fell upon us
