It stopped working for me many years ago, but I do miss margaritas.

I no longer drink, Dave, but it's probably not too late to start drinking again.

heart aches and head aches
humanity feels its age
with self-inflicted pain
just looking for some relief
from its self-induced shame

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 10 is #ache

"I wish to run my trembling fingers long
Through the black tangles of your heavy hair,
To plunge my aching head amorous of
Your skirts as into secret, perfumed bowers,
To breathe your scent as from pale withered flowers"

'Le LΓ©thΓ©', Charles Baudelaire

#BlueSkyArtShow #sunlight #poetry #EastCoastKin
I am lucky tonight I have enough energy to walk outside The sky's saying bye to sunlight My heart also doesn't need to cry For the first time in a long time, I don't feel pain in my eyes I told you, didn't I? I didn't lie that I would borrow your eyes Now, I look way up high The clouds have shades, colors, lines, It's like you stand here right by my side, I appreciate you, my soul tribe.

β€” Beyond the Grayscale β€”

#vss365 #prompt is #pale

#EastCoastKin #poetry for #StunDay
"Beyond the Grayscale" The sun is so bright that everything in the sky is pale against the veil of fog. All I see is different shades of gray and if I may dare to compare my life to the sun and make a clichΓ© observation, then I say- Is it possible that the reason my life is also pale is because of the brightness of the sun... and not his absence? Is it possible that, at this moment, the fog might have spent enough time shielding me...and soon enough will allow me to run wild and free? I guess we will see. The sky might be pale, but I have lived another day to tell my tale and my love? My love that's been held and delayed by the fog...is definitely not for sale. Maybe the pale winter was a big inhale and now it's about time for an exhale and for the sky to expand her colors beyond the grayscale. 2/9/2026

β€” Much-Needed Miracle β€”

#poetry for #vss365 #prompt is #bones

#EastCoastKin #AmWriting
"Much-Needed Miracle" I haven't been touched in a while, I've been feeling so fragile, Everything just hurts, All the nerves are on alert! Sensations are bottled up inside, Holding tension throughout my spine, It's time to get vulnerable, It's time to get naked and get on the table! I found a new person, I'm not sure she's the one, She asked me to strip and climb onto the table, So, I did and waited for the moment of miracle! She had no interest in bonding, For the whole hour, she said nothing, At the end of the session, She told me my bones were cracking! She told me I needed to be touched more! I paid her and walked out the door! The whole thing was so transactional, I was touched, but I didn't find the much-needed miracle.

Why understand you?
The mind muddles your art,
for one can’t know without unraveling.
I choose to savor you,
to be the one unraveled,
to be your fevered verse
undressing from your lips.
Slow-kiss your notes onto my skin,
drown my #bones in your hungry dark sea.
