About a girl
#poetry

Performing for an audience
Reality rehearsed as act
Obfuscated scripted pages
Break a leg but not your back
Applause or jeers all the same
A playbill or an epitaph

To turn a bat into a moth
To make it fly towards the light
Denies it of its right to live
Accept the truth

It likes the night

#poetry #blueskypoetry #writingcommunity

A quiver full
A sword unsheathed
Arrows rain
Like falling leaves

A battle hymn
A song to kill
A place to die
Upon the hill

From blood to rust
The angels weep
Death is just
A dreamless sleep

#vss365 #quiver #poetry #writingcommunity

Thorns along the stem
Keep me from picking petals
Still I want to know

#poetry #blueskypoetry #writingcommunity #haiku

Only fools rush in
And that's the point
Ignorance is bliss

Dumb from touch
A silly thing
Stupid from a kiss

#poetry #blueskypoetry #writingcommunity

What wanes once
Will grow again
From a crescent moon
To broken hearts
The tides turn in our favour

#vss365 #poetry #wane

The day has been a drawn out fight.
Patiently waiting on the cusp of a quiet evening.
As the sun begins to sink
I can't help but to think of you,
And suddenly all is right.
