Weight of old grudges like anchors bind but forgiveness a balm for hearts maligned
With open hearts compassion our creed, for in forgiving we find true freedom, but forgetting, maybe indeed

let the sun be my lips
warming the softness
of your cheeks
If I can't hold you
let a blanket be my arms
wrapped gently
around your shoulders
If we cannot talk
let the breeze be my mouth
whispering words
into your heart
Dearest one,
feel my love
all around you.

my tongue a bitter
field of dark poppies

in the hatred junkyard—
the smell makes my
soul wither
cleverer to hang out
in that half-way arena
where my feelings
can simmer
& I can take a look
in the mirror to figure out
who the hatred's about,
them or me?
That's my key to victory
when dark feelings
overwhelm me.

I'm sorry, you relent when
It's sealed with a kiss.

I saw you
standing
in the moonlight
you kissed your palms
opened them
to the stars
every wish
I ever knew
flew up
with them
body and soul
our hearts
broken into
a millard pieces
of stardust
fell as rain
flowers felt
how every day
when in Love is #vss365 #emoetry
I have been practicing
the art of gathering—
not people,
not apologies,
not proof.
But what remains.
The breath I dropped
in arguments that went nowhere.
The shards of laughter
that slipped between hospital corridors.
The small, feral joys

I owe some people hi-fives. ⤵️
Check my Wall 🤍
During my eyesight crisis and surgery, when vision went sideways and turned to haze, my #bsky folx didn’t just send well-wishes—you became my sight. Your art, your energy, relentless posts—reposts; creativity kept me tethered.

It's Valentine's Day, so just for you, I have really gone all out on the #angst
(I'm sorry, I just don't know how to stop it.)

window pane remains
covered in frost
tempted by spring
the heat of your kiss
melancholy weaves
tales of the heart
close to midnight
dreams are
all that remain

Into the basket of my heart,
I gather all the things
that bring you closer to me
so that when we're apart,
I may take them back out,
arranging them closely
as though
your very arms
did surround me.

Lately I've been obsessed with the word "gather" or "gathering." Write me a poem titled "Gathering ______"

I repost replies
