Wherever I look
There’s #mountainous views
I’m just sat breathing in, its O2

Crisp fresh air
Twirling my hair
Thinking of you
In my minds eye
You’re everywhere
Just not, anymore here

She twirls and steps in time
to Laendler
playing in her mind,
swaying close to him
lingeringβ€”pulling away

Eyes closed and damp,
she reaches out
to his side of the bedβ€”
kissing
the cold pillow
in the dark.

The rustle of words,
drowning in my blood
of things I’ll never say.

Our eyes of mirrored flame,
lost in the gasp of open air,
quiet sips of each other
once warmed our skin
like poems brushed across lips.

Yet I have no picture
to tuck into an old buckling box,
no echo of your heartbeat
burned into my chest.
Only a silent historyβ€”
our waveless sea,
our windless storm.

Affection, commemorated
in fading breaths
and the soft imprint
of β€œyou were here,”
dusted over my heart.

Inside each of us lives a quiet #lacuna - a hollow shaped by longing, by joy unmet.

Some fill the lacuna with prayer, others with art, some with music.

Yours?

Some days are nearly impossible. Today is one of them. Where my brain should be is a vast #lacuna, devoid even of the normally tumbling, whirlwind thoughts that chase each other through my head. My energy is depleted, my soul feels heavy. I am lost. #vss365

Editor: it seems like part of your book is missing.
Me: no that’s just part of my new writing philosophy.
E: Oh?
M: Lacuna Matata.
E: yeah, I’m going to need you to write that chapter. #vss365

when her gentle heart
is hurting
the sadness quietly leaks out
concealed within her tears
but her hope lives on
filling the liminal lacuna
residing within her beautiful soul
with poetic words & aspirations
of him
for him
& a wondrous love
that could never be

The fishnet clings like a lover’s hands, every diamond bead cool against my skin.
My nipples harden under the teasing mesh, awaiting warm palms to press, fondle, #touch.
Trace the net slow, deliberate; feel the shiver ripple through me.
Your need and want intensifying your desire.

Close-up black‑and‑white portrait of a woman’s face, with a visible tear.

Close-up black‑and‑white portrait of a woman’s face, with a visible tear.

She lost her #lambent sky eyes
in the crush of still life.
She could see it,
pursed behind irisesβ€”
a dying speck of sun, shivering.
She tried to pluck it from a memory,
but like the ghosted flicker of stars,
it was already light-years away.

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.

His eyes slow the ache
of a death that began on the brink of a new moon,
when promises, woven like chains, cauterized her air,
and she became a bird, spiraling.
She braces for the sweet relief of earth
on feathers soft,
but all that comes is a freefall,
writhing, relentless,
through hours and minutes shaped like her blood.
He spins within the same stifling night.
Where touch is ghost orchids and weeping blue moons,
she feels him.

Under a sunset on Laguna beach, I heard a sirens song. But, there was a long #lacuna within.

I think she was tired of being forlorn. So I dived in, saying β€œI’ll be your king!”

She said in a thick cockney accent; β€œ na luv, I’m 4 undred yrs old! Your too young, soz.”

I am the sun
You’ll never feel
To the #dark #lacuna you run
For any light~will kill

I am the #RareDisease
DNA chose you
1 in a million receive
Only way out~is through

I am the moon
& stars
In a vespertine garden you bloom
Glowing from within~not from afar

It’s a fusion
Of colours
Like rainbows
And shadows
Grey and black
Specks of white
That work
Together

Setting alight
My imagination
Though pages
Of a book
Are black and white

My mind sees more
That’s how the magic works
#Dark or bright

Freshly fallen snow blankets a winter forest near Centennial, Colorado. A large tree with glistening branches frames a peaceful landscape, sparkling with the sunrise's warm colors.

Gear: Canon R5, Canon 25-140mm lens.

In the solace of a forest
I dissapear
Into a beckoning gap,
A lacuna
Where unfulfilled dreams
Await their time ✨️

A lone bare tree silhouetted against a huge moon in a night field.

A lone bare tree silhouetted against a huge moon in a night field.

Letters and words misalign,
her thoughts shiver in tossed autumn rain.

She folds her paper heart into a kite,
and it dances above Cassiopeia’s tilted crown.

#Dark stars willow in her chest,
a garden of wounds that bend toward the moon.

A maritime lawyer from Yale
Feels his int’rest in law start to #pale.
He’s filled with regret,
For he’s drowning in debt–
So at sea in his field, he can’t bail.

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 9 is #bones

"...a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool."

T. S. Eliot

🎨 5D Diamond Painting

Come to me
At the edge of night
Where shadows
Become voyeurs

Witnessing our luscious throes
Screams & howls

Aroma of #blood piercing
Arouses heady intoxication
That first dark kiss
Had me craving for your depravity

More
And
More
