Cold sugar

The cold brings crystals to a jacket long forgotten. Freezing out in the streets, the days pass faster than the people do. Cities are cruel, with each person that lives to walk on concrete, come two eyes. Beads of life shining and telling stories of not just the day but the moment

My beloved
You treated me well
Told me when the sun would rise
And when the moon fell
Cold against my skin
You were worn without struggle
Since you were born without
Millions like you across the world
But you were unique
Since you were mine
Telling the time
I wasn’t ready for yours
Thank u #poem

Vacant
#poetry

Gaps between walks
Spaces between feet
Borders that won’t meet
Wraps of gauze
Paces of men
Mortars spelling defeat
Only walls to hold
No time to grow old
Eyes glued to gunpowder and sand.
They find each other, intestines interlocked.
In this #schism
Their eyes shut, patriotism. #vss365 #poetry

Stranded, abandoned and sanctioned
Off to be alone during the storm
Only capable of peering inside
Seeing the people ignore her, snide

The warmth she can’t be granted
The frigid soak she has no choice but to take
She tries to rest awoke by the noise of her freezing #feathers

#vss365 #poetry

This corner of reality
Big enough to be in
Shoulder to shoulder
claustrophobia
Has one way out
Up

I try to clamber
But the walls slide me down.
My arm can barely be lifted
A trap designed for me
Just me
No way
Down

Lost
sublimated in maelstrom
Not knowing left from right
Right from wrong

Morality is my compass
But for which map
I know not

Swirling tundra of crimson tears
Feel the pale horse before years
dealt an early blow

#poetry #writing #photography

Looking forward to what’s next with ambition and hope

Craning my neck to see what has already happened. A long winding pathway, destroyed, barely a #mnemonic of my history

I don’t remember how I got here.
Or even feeling around, where I am

Directionless pain

#poetry #vss365 #photography

the last thing I’ll leave
Other than these frigid breaths
Will be these frozen tears
On cold flesh

#poetry #writing #photography

The eyes of those above
Are blind to the depths I reached
Blind to failure
open to the future.
Their lungs filled with air
Breathing life with every move.

Black our hearts are
But she lets yours in
Where she basks in our #blood
Don’t tear that connection
She looks where you look
Sits where you sit
Stands where you stand

Her smiles bury dread
Her eyes remove your fury of red

And she laughs at your stupid jokes amidst the hyenas
