I stand here, the #sole survivor,
proof that silence can outlive us all
And yet,
I have one more story to tell

at hour
when night is still brewing
cities & faces
pass through her
like radio signals
pain & hope
sharing the same frequency
with tenderness
she reduces noise
living with #ache
the way one lives with weather
in the pale light
the room is as it is
misfortune
stays outside

I map the spirals in your palm,
a star chart from my universe to yours

I’m pulled through darkness
until your #touch locks with mine

Two breaths,
synced across time and space.

She spins on rusted springs, a clockwork heart,
And legs that tremble and shake

With each turn, the #ache in her toes reminds her
She’s alive!
There is beauty in life, it echoes in every step

You’re more than sinew and skin
and muscle and #bones
that waste away with time.

You’re energy. You’re stardust.
You’re a golden thread woven through the fabric of the Universe.

You’re infinite.

Spirits still roam this valley of #bones
Tonight, a corpse-moon guides them through the trenches
Lost prayers litter the desolate ground
No songs survive
only echoes in the dark

Take a while
Take your time
Awaiting entry
What is it to belong
To never ride the fences
To be safe at home
Fire and a hearth
Not a rider faded
Accompanied by
Their Shadowfax
There are those who join
Bound by company
There are others few
Taken other ways
Will always be
Beyond the pale

I dance with my ghosts
the me of yesteryear’s hopes
have all but vanished

My weary guardian sleeps at last,
the demons of my world laid low

A shimmer of #pale light
washes the ruins of the past clean

Now I sit amid the quiet carnage,
As my brokenness learns to mend

Promises, as bright as #blood
Two shadows, dark as night
Sheltered in the cold rain
Warm beyond their simple souls

Snow falls
Each flake has a purpose
And a destiny

My porch glows soft and #lambent with memory
Long lost friends gather here
Sharing the quiet moment together

The young remember,
a small heart learning the shape of loss
A #ghost of what was …

Today this dove guides her
A quiet friend in a hard world
Showing her what will, and can be …

I carry all the things I should have said
Each word, a weight, each sentence, a verdict
This is the #pain I carry

I drift once again
a body of starlight

Melding my #soul with others

I am not lost
I am finally whole

When daylight fades, and darkness rules,
I search for my #shadow in the moonlight.

It battles my childhood fears,
Welding my adult dreams like weapons

The first time
I heard the #thrum
Low, steady
Like an odd heartbeat
Was the day
We first met
I was both
Overwhelmed
And underwhelmed
At the same time
I couldn't suss you
And it bothered me
I was used to being
The wallpaper
But not caring
For the other
Wallpaper
In the room

A pulse rises from the silence
The #thrum gathers our grief
Joy rains down,
washing our tears away

Shadows, once feared,
become refuge

Walk with me
our path leads us home

The Ace, a velvet lie
A #ruse searching for the next victim
I wager,
and the spade dug my grave

I wanted to believe
but I watch the year #slip away,
a season of old curses and close calls
My faith lies crushed,
bruised and broken
Another dark, foreboding story stirs,
and my words drip like blood

I carry my own storm
Emotions pour from my bones, cold and endless
Thunder owns me
Lightning is my curse

I pray for a merciful sun shower,
a thin, indifferent #drizzle
Even then, I move forward
Because stopping is failure

Stepping through the arch,
the tide of anxieties ebbs
Worries fall aside
I #unmoor, drifting
Free at last

For a price, she will #bend time
Minutes become days, heavy with lost names
You may go back and wallow in old miseries
Wear your triumphs like borrowed skin
Then return, with a face you no longer recognize
