all the hidden rivers
in my hands of rain

he looks to her eyes
as awaiting for something
the very first time
lightning rains evening
her morning he brightens
thunder longingly
rumble

no one sat still today
not even me, restless
games were played...
blank spaces & pages
were filled with ink
drying in an inkwell~

smoothly penned once
tears moisten words...
memories stained in sanity~

first date
pretending I know anything
about flowers
#inkMine

stars in the deep dark
daisies drowning in streetlights
part dim part dazzle

~

Midnight distance fades in
whispered dreams—your voice,
a sensual thread

Each secret conversation
caresses me slowly, my pulse
races, aching for more of you.

Let’s meet where words ignite
like fireflies,

our need tangled in moonlit heat,
lost in the rhythm of
night’s desire

DIRECTIONS, a tanka
You can find my house
at the junction of hopeless
and hope, ten yards past
the grey fence of fear, across
from where the faith flowers bloom.

Practically produced
Lacking fanfare with
Artless austerity
Inconspicuously
No-frills

In love's cruel grip, we all dance as both prisoner and poet…..

Scissors Cut GIF ALT: Scissors Cut GIF

I always walk
Into rooms
I have
No business in

When I walked in
On The Fates
Knew I’d
Regret my sin

I saw Clotho
Twist my thread
And felt my Life’s
Daft spin

And as
Lachesis measured
Life flashed
Tween bright & grim

Atropos
Snicks her scissors…
I do not like
Her grin
#vss365

Standing at the edge
Watching the sunrise
She reflects on thoughts hidden deep within her mind
Revealing the depth of her heart
The water's a mirror to her soul
Cleansing her;
Freeing her from her past and who she used to be

a faded photo
smoky edges
memories form
shaping, shaped & reshaped
over time
bounced down
yellowed brick roads
the passing of time
passed
nero connections
snapped
preconceived directives
gone, all circuits
undone
or just begun

春空を
羽織る自由が

The freedom to wear*
The spring skies
The kite's luxury/wealth

(*羽織る Haoru in Japanese means "to wear" but specifically to put over everything like with a cloak)

I got down on my knee and proposed to the Daffodil.

the fate of Ilium
i leave to the rain
and the clung ferocities
of what Love can do
breath to breath...

from here to there,
in minutes. seconds and degrees
North, South, East, and West
in chains, rods, and poles
close, and yet, so far

Mornings, three twirls left then one #twirl right. Hop. The beat always begins on landing. I don’t hum along anymore. Rhythmic steps with purpose. Focused commitment. Amateur hour has passed.

The distance connected
Between blades shimmering
While flowers rise above
Watching landscapes blend
Toward ambers ablaze

Life's mini #ecosystems.
(Fungus * Lichen * Old Man's Beard)

Exposed thru nature's timeline.
Refracts a mycos concept.
Life's soul knowledge rooted deep.
Teachings that we must contain.
