You ink sonnets on my lips—
a predator cloaked in poetry

With a red pen,
you mark me.

Wayfarer of flesh,
what hymn do your hands compose on my magnolia skin?

Your scent—a verse,
your touch—fire

I bloom, half-open,
poppy-rich, thirsting

This isn’t sin
It’s the paradise we wrote

Serene skies,
beauty lingers;
stillness hums in warm air.
Soft wind,
quiet wonder,
earth and soul in gentle repair.
Serene dawn,
beauty unfolds,
in hush of morning’s glow,
stillness holds the world,
time suspended,
soft and slow.

Soft hush of rain
a blanket wraps the world in quiet,
each drop a whisper
calming the restless air.

In the silent dawn,
the sun spills gentle fingers,
warming the ache
of shadows left behind.

A breath,
slow and deep,
fills the hollows;
peace settles
like dust on forgotten windowsills.

A breath between worlds
rain silvering the surface,
each drop a tiny mirror
floating, then falling.

My reflection flickers,
a ghost among clouds,
while warmth hesitates
at the cool, clear border.

For Those Who Serve

Morning light spills across the quiet street,
where echoes linger
footsteps of those who walked before us,
carrying burdens unseen,
voices unheard.

I am just a wayfarer
footsteps etch the amber dawn,
heart a compass lost in swirling mist.
Bridges arch over rivers of shadow and light;
I linger in twilight’s hush,
listening for whispered echoes,
dreaming of lantern-lit homes
beyond the horizon’s edge.

The jungle’s hush:
a breath,
a pulse,
a shadow.
Eyes gleam
hunger,
not fear.
The hunt is silent.
Prey feels the air shift,
the world tenses,
waits for teeth.
Predator prowls,
night’s whisper.

Toxic whispers curl
like smoke in empty rooms,
silent but suffocating
a poison that lingers
beyond the breath,
etching shadows in daylight,
where healing hides,
waiting for the air to clear,
for light to break through the haze.

A lone wind hums through hollow streets,
carrying sighs of lost echoes
soft murmurs of memories stitched in shadow.
The sky, bruised in fading indigo,
leans heavy on the aching dusk,
where longing drifts like unraveling threads,
fraying into quiet.

Glowing in embers,
embers that remember
the weight of each spark
the way the fire once roared
before it learned to whisper.

Embroidered in the fire,
stories are stitched
with threads of light and ash,
patterns only the brave
can trace in the dark.

Prompt for 24 May

-Tender blush-

The subtle reddening that gives away deep emotion, but isn’t always noticeable… the faint rosy color to an opening flower. Embrace deep feeling through light gestures.

From the vault: Tenderness

I step
off the edge,
not into air,
but into you
a soft surrender,
a letting go.

Your presence
a current
pulls me gently,
not downward,
but inward,
into depths
I never knew existed.

She was a tempest’s heart
wild, uncontained,
pulsing with thunder,
her laughter storm-born.
Wind-twisting, whispering fierce echoes,
she bent the world with her breath.
Electric, untamed,
a force of nature wrapped in the skin of a woman,
her spirit vast as the sky.

Narwhal glides through icy blue,
a spiral tusk, a secret clue.
Beneath the waves, the silent call
mystery swims, enchanting all.
A unicorn of ocean’s deep,
where currents whisper, secrets keep.
Narwhal dreams in liquid night,
a silver ghost in filtered light.

Gentle waves wash shore,
Whispers cleanse the weary soul,
New dawn, fresh and bright.

Her first life she was a #narwhal
Second, a carnival
Gypsy queen
Third she became
A star in the big dipper
But everytime she’s in my heart
I am the sea the sky and cosmos
Whatever wherever she be
I follow

Tender blush unfurls at dawn,
pink whispers on petals,
soft as a sigh on cheeks.
A fleeting promise,
warm and shy,
soon lost in light,
fading gently into day’s embrace.

Fingertips brushing on skin
a slow, sweet river,
Each touch a whisper,
each sigh a promise,
Warmth lingers,
night hums,
Love is the quiet,
the gentle,
the hush,
A caress that never ends,
Soft as a dream,
deep as dawn,
A world in your hand.

Midnight’s call
the soft hum in the dark,
a voice like shadow,
whispers tangled in quiet static,
echoes reaching across the night,
lingering near sleep’s edge.

Soft hands cradle the dawn,
fingers tracing warmth on skin—
a whisper, a glance,
the world held in this quiet.
Love lingers, gentle,
like morning light through mist.

Birds still sing in the rain,
their notes soft as falling drops,
undaunted by the gray
melody that never stops.
Wet feathers, brave hearts rise.
Song lingers above the mist,
hopeful whispers in skies.

If you could see through my eyes,
You’d find silent skies,
Feel the ache, the broken,
Taste salt of secret tide—
Know longing, worlds inside,
Where shadows sing, untied,
In dawn’s surprise.
