Time

A slinky stretched skyward,
Each loop a day slips past,
Its progress is wayward.

A vertical slinky,
It leaps without a lapse,
Stretching then collapsing.

I have five poems from my new collection This Joyful Interlude published on Fevers of the Mind today.
It's the last update there for the forseeable future - I feel honoured.

8. The Sky Stands Still Part 1: Life, Death and Love Walk Hand in Hand

#writingcommunity

This chapter speaks of the kind of heroism that leaves no witnesses.
Far from battlefields or applause, both Leith and Sean face the same quiet truth: sometimes to save one life, another must be lost.

7. The Roof of the World Link to previous chapters:

Where breath and dream become one—
Ivo rides with Tenzing across a marble sky,
facing the demons within,
and leaps into the moon.

Selective Record

Where every book self-censors,
When scanned, it denies its truth,
So truth it never sponsors.

A factory of self-forgery,
Where each widget is called truth,
Though it is but perjury.

Thank you,Victoria, for your kind words.
I wanted to say that joy and woe fill our lives—yet these states are both an illusion that fades—together with the part of us identifying with that.

Dear @victoriaspires.bsky.social,
Thank you for the #promptcombo on #dreamlogic.
This is a humble tribute to #Borges — and to #nonduality, with a little mystery :)

Ian sleeps in the ICU. Iseabail keeps living, half-broken.
Leith and Sean return. Lily faces the sea.
Three sisters, three storms — one love holding through the thunder.⚡️

Unseen


You can’t choose to Un 
the seen:
maybe time’s erratic winds
might slightly erode,
attempting to scour those long shadows;
the clouding of age helps too,
softening the details 
of any unrelenting 
focus;
yet whatever most needs to disappear 
seems always spot-lit
with an unforgivable 
and just searing 
sunshine.

Gravitational lensing is gravity’s effect on the backbone of the cosmos, bending light and spacetime.

"Lovers' Sky" by Marc Chagall is a mesmerizing piece that encapsulates themes of romance and dreamlike fantasy, characteristic of Chagall's style. The artwork features a tender embrace beneath a swirling celestial landscape, blending elements of reality and imagination in an ethereal narrative.

We Don’t Have to Run Scared Anymore

No reason to cower and hide
behind low expectations,
licking our wounds,
keenly awaiting the carnivore’s departure
when it is in safety that danger lies.

We can shake up this world instead
with glitter and sparkle,
courage and care,
the ghost of a kiss 
on a shimmering rainbow flag.

It matters,
whether we win or lose in life,
but little,
compared to the thought
of a life unlived.

What a beautiful album full of poetry by

The English language has a rare gift — the power to carry depth in simplicity.

I love the image of “fierce raging seas.”

The end of Fionn I had been going to post a ghostly little story today, and this one is ghostly in a way, but Wednesday is for warriors, I’ve been reminded.
