Fragments of eternity
that’s what we say we are
A new morning comes
without asking
The dark breaks
A few stars remain
tiny coals in the sky
The sun rises
Briefly
the world seems #magnanimous
Then the day returns
to its simple necessities
And we remember
less than we think

spring is nearby
beyond it
something burns
ringed with sea air
and orange groves
breathing bloom
today
she finally knows
the great reasons of madness
there are places
where one
#spellbound
may still hope
for the slow green stir
under the bark
yet it
will never come
#vss365 #poetry #blueskypoets
The #rain steadies young branches.

She keeps her dreams
in places no one
thinks to look
The wind of elsewhere
in her hair
Without trying
her soul makes small
private sounds
turning sorrow
& sleepless love
into something
that mirrors light
Years slip by
#Splendor of what
she guarded
refuses to bow
Or lie
#vss365 #poetry 📸Pinterest
The body she lives in
hours that raised her
sorrows that deepened her
joys that undid her
Time kept its patient hands
on her shoulders
like a blessing
she never asked for
Now she is fruit
falling through
a #cataract of suns
ripe with all her seasons

give the deck another shuffle
to steal a day
from time's linear march
for in its blind #velocity
fate feels too neatly dealt
borrow a hinge from eternity
bend the rigid line
so queen of longing
king of habit
ace of doubt
fall otherwise
into a round yet to be

they are late this year
how somber the spring would be
without tulip buds
#DailyHaikuPrompt #buds#haiku #poetry #blueskypoets #flowers #nature #photography
Leaving woods
stripped of promise
she prowled
no man’s land
in #quest
of the signal
that lay
between absence & vertigo
The horizon didn’t move
yet her nerve
had already crossed it
Call it the sweetest flex:
to outgrow the edge
while it still believes
it holds you

tense blackbird tests the still air

the cry & the tenderness
are no longer at odds
they move together
through the estuary of words
our dreams still cling
to old stones
life remains fragile as grass
our hands no longer know
how to hold
yet our heart keeps beating
#stellar

#vss365 #poetry
the desert
she has #seen
moves through her
like a mirage
settling into
unrepentant words
she speaks of it
without rest
its sands finely #crazed
with fissures
her unshielded face
lifted to the sun
as rare footsteps fade
in jealous air
above an oasis bearing
a woman’s name
like a vow

how long will we stay
calling love
a promised land?
what do we know of it
if pleasure is all we name?
it is touch
fever
the #bouncy pulse
of bare skin
but also dark & blues
madness fused
with wisdom
a door flung wide
past the senses
both the wings
& the abyss
