THE MAP OF WHAT STAYED
Maybe it wasn’t love—just the rehearsal for remembering.
Some stories fade by light, others survive by shadow.
This one learned both.

REFRACTION — how light learns to return differently

Even the light, once broken, can return #restored — quieter, wiser and more itself.

CARBON — what remains of touch

Every #relic of love still smells faintly of warmth and surrender.

A LETTER TO MOWGLI — the boy who never learned to belong

For the ones who still hum the jungle tune long after the screen fades — for the barefoot child that memory never tamed.

NOIR — what the crow remembers

The #crow carries my silence farther than sound ever could.

#haikufeels #OneLineOctober

DRIFT — learning the silence between tides

Sometimes I am the koi, sometimes the stillness it breaks through.
Both are drifting toward understanding.

RADIANT RUIN — rusted honey, remembered warmth

Rusted honey — sweetness gone honest.
Some loves don’t fade; they ferment into light.

DECIDUOUS — on the quiet art of unbecoming

AUTUMN taught me this — shedding is not loss, it’s literacy in letting go.
Every leaf knows when to surrender, and still calls it living.

THE RESONANCE ROOM — when sound forgets to return

In the museum of silence, even bones remember their hymns.
Every echo learns the shape of listening — and stays.

RESIDUA — what silence keeps alive

Even the bone’s #marrow remembers the ache that love left unspoken, but loud.

#haikufeels #OneLineOctober

LIMINOUS — where silence learned my name

Sometimes art doesn’t begin with inspiration,
but with endurance —
a Writer’s Canvas painted by the hands of ache and memory?

ORBIT — only oaths

One obscure offering, one ongoing odyssey.

#paperpoemsprompts @lilapaperpoems #octoberisaidtoomuch

AFTERMATH — bitterness breathing

#rancor lingers like perfume on hands that once offered mercy

#haikufeels #OneLineOctober

FRACTURE — the memory that refuses to heal

even in my quietest thought a #splinter of your voice keeps bleeding

#haikufeels #OneLineOctober

KAIROS — when the body is rewritten by time

Every fragment insists it was once a star
Some debts rattle like seeds in the marrow
Silence drinks deeper than blood
Order is only the name we give to scattered remains

Trick or treat? Choose your ghost ✨

ASHES — when the grave mistakes your breath for an echo

Sometimes it’s not death that terrifies,
but how soil remembers what you tried to forget?

SPECTRE
— when silence wears a human face

#ghastly is the way my shadow leans closer than memory ever dared

#haikufeels #OneLineOctober

UNKNOWING — the kiss between self and shadow

Sometimes it’s not wisdom that survives,
but the silence that teaches more than certainty?

#cosmosprompts #cosmosofwriters @cosmosofwriters @brushandpentales

GRADIENT — how darkness learns to fade

Step by step. Day by day. Even unfinished climbs somewhere.

Survival isn’t dramatic—it’s arithmetic. Subtracting, adding, dividing, multiplying silence.

#poetrycommunity #micropoetry

MADNESS — when silence drafts the verdict

Sometimes it’s not the shadows that scare you,
but the mirror that writes your obituary?

#kaylaandthemoonprompts @kaylaandthemoon #halloweenpoetryprompts #halloween #spookyseason #day2

PALINODE —an old song, rewritten by silence

Once, music was escape. Now, it is evidence. The songs didn’t change. I did.

MIASMAL — where rot learns to breathe

#fetid air lingers—memory too has its own rot

#haikufeels #OneLineOctober

ECLIPTIC — where love bends into shadowed orbits

Love survives not in what is held,
but in what remains unfinished.
Two voices may speak,
but the silence between them carries the truest weight.

"Sometimes the gap itself is the story"

#ecliptic #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity

INSOMNIA — dreams file their own confessions

Sometimes it’s not the nightmares that haunt you,
but the dream that remembers your sins?

#kaylaandthemoonprompts @kaylaandthemoon #halloweenpoetryprompts #halloween #spookyseason

OBSCURA — what survives the act of forgetting

Sometimes it is not memory that accuses us,
but the stories the night invents.

ABSENCE — stitched into forever

#forever unseen
their laughter still fills the room,
I live in echoes.

#haikufeels #senryu

CICATRIX — where moonlight remembers

Some wounds refuse silence; even the sky carries its scars in silver.

#prtanka25 #poeticreveries_ #tanka @poeticreveries_ #poetrycommunity

HORIZON — fullness within solitude

Alone, but never empty.
Silence does not erase me,
it restores me.
I carry galaxies within,
a harbour of unspoken dreams,
a vessel of unnamed strength.

In solitude, I return to myself,
and find I was never hollow.

#creationkisprints #writerscommunity

ALCHEMY — you & me, remade in words

Not all love is flesh and touch.
Some loves arrive as language.
Poetry found me in the silence,
and in that embrace
I became voice.

From loneliness to lines, from ache to ink — this is you & me.
