Sands

Night come gently
widen the day

Slowly
lights fade
linger & delay

Let soft lustre
illuminate
where nature’s
#harmonies flow

Stay
let the ambience rise
& let the amber glow

Twilight is spreading
slow & Night begins to play
I pray you stay
I pray you stay

Look, my love! Spring's here!
It chases away winter ...
Reminds me of you.

we touch
the #lightning surges
a frisson of hope
and rightness
traversing my skin
feeding my soul

Good evening!

Life has a strange way of reminding you when you’ve left your keys in the wrong house.

What’s meant for you will eventually return….
if you want it badly enough.

A nation drowned
in skin #lightening creams

Trading brown & gold
for chemical dreams

Taught to loathe
the skin we wear
trade "natural" for "fair."

Faces young & bright
Bleached in rose & vanilla light

Strike a pose erase the tan
Now the dose is doubled for the man.

#vss365

Thank you 🙏 🧡

#vss365 #poetry

You’re a little bit of #lightning
At the back of my mind
Giving my blood hiccups
Everytime I have a flashback

My heart jolted by little hammers
Pumps my inner red ink into words
Spilling onto pages & screens
The good bad sometimes funny
& sure as hell ugly too

I seek her face,
the steady grace
of her warm embrace.

The light in her smile,
the song in her voice,
the depth of her
#spellbinding eyes
and the silk of her
flowing mane.

If you’d share
the last square of your
chocolate with me
also your kindness,
your #magnanimous heart,
your Wi-Fi password
and a little bit of your time.
Chocolate melts
too quickly anyway
but good company,
strong Wi-Fi and a kind heart
lasts a lot longer over time

Moonstruck I am
#spellbound by your charm

Enchanted by the magic in your eyes
Your love has me wrapped in its warm arms

My heart soars like a bird in the skies
for in this love a true philosophy lies

That lifes greatest surprise is a love in disguise

A swan delegation
The water sleeps beneath the moon
The white form gathers slow and grave
Obeying the unspoken will The passage toward the pale starlight
He's the first one to the west
He plots his course to the east
A nighttime message is given
In a pale procession of the tide

#BluSkyPoetry

In the garden where our laughter blooms,
Two hearts entwined beneath the silver moon,
Your love, #magnanimous as the endless skies,
Embraces all that time can never prune.
So let us paint our days in shades divine,
With colors bold, our souls forever twine.

Dylan tried to be #magnanimous about the citation for gallantry in the face of The Enemy, but he wasn’t the only one to have fought in that battle. Most of his crew had suffered, but only a few got the recognition they deserved.

He hardly did a thing, barking orders, nothing more.

#vss365

Speak to me now,
while the air is still warm.
Say words that hold weight….
#bountiful of love.

Let not the hollow ones
ever hold space,
nor the hurtful ones
slip thy lips again.

Let me paint the sky
A #magnanimous blue
With words that won’t make you cry
For more than a few
The heavens may wish to pry
But like morning dew
They’ll disappear with a content sigh
& I’ll continue to paint the night sky

Despite all we've done
Nature is #magnanimous
Hope shines like the sun
#vss365 #haiku #poetry

There's no #bounty
In these grey lands
Only broken promises
& #lethargy

& those too weak
To mock the sanctity
Of tyrants who bleed
Copper, not blood

When will you
Wedge that coin
Between your teeth
& bite until it breaks?

Sic semper evello
Mortem tyrannis

Wake up.

when one of us is resentful
towards something the other has done
we argue and make peace

when one of us wants to escape
from the ropes of responsibilities
we share the problem and go on

when you feel #lethargic
may I be patient enough
to carry the candle of relationship

Lethargonaut

Morning unlids one eye
then shelves it.
I trug from bed to chair,
half‑fermented drone
inside the Department of Lethargy.
My pulse on standby,
spine a soft‑strike ladder.
Even light misclocks,
punches in late.

I adjourn myself
for alertness deficiency.

The sun didn’t rise
#Lethargy crept filling us up
From our toes to our eyes
Like a moonflower maiden i stood still
When the air had hung silent
I should have known it be an omen
The dark side of a love spell
Sent by the moon
Falling commets crashing stars

‘Get your room cleaned,’ Mum says.
Alice slouches further into the armchair.
‘What did I just say?’
‘But Mum, I’m so #lethargic.’
‘Lethargic, my backside.. You get up them stairs and get that blooming bedroom cleaned before I swipe you one.’
Alice slumps, and huffs loudly #vss356

They gave the surplus
what they had to spare
loose change
silver jingling
through the air

like a paper boat
riding the ripples
on a shallow pool
drifting nowhere

#Lethargic thoughts
scattered & scarce
Just hollow shells
for an insatiable soul

Deception fools the best of us
Undermining honest tries
Duality grows unchecked
where cruel games defines

Truth falls silent
Essence curdled into vile
Harrowing patterns
Of unbroken lies

Hidden behind
#Cataract walls
darkness devours the beauty
Within their lives
