#Angels circled the #valley like vultures.

One descended, trailing fragments of light, curious about the coagulated crimson blood below.

I shooed it off. I needed #room to think, dammit.

God was dead.

And the feathers were messing up my crime scene.

The sideways glance? it wasn't the look of love so what did that look imply?

Their eyes relayed unspoken and unwritten goodbyes.

And the lies spoken delayed an opportunity to get it right.

Rules? broken when fools spoke on things with their insight.

#WordedArt, #thepenflows, #OurPoetryX, #vss365

Tranquil servitude provided from those with a demeanor..

..that's zombie like; or maybe they're just a lucid dreamer?

Lost out there in sundry galleries fooled by fragments of light.

Mad about promised yesterdays but still not ready to fight.

She carried the stars in her eyes and the sun in her smile
Finding your soul in her love with kisses that immerse the passion within
Her depth fosters a life of desire
A sweetness that will leave you craving for more

What's really going on? negotiations occurring for a piece of your mind?

Soon you lost it! with plenty of unwritten goodbyes from the shady kind.

The stippled architecture hid loopholes!

No participation trophies for the lost souls.

She didn’t give me life, but she gave me love.
The kind that heals. The kind that holds.
This poem is for my mom, Linda Ann Kennedy—
who never once let me forget I was hers. 💗
Even now, I still feel her arms around me.

One of these days,
a shadow will bloom
with petals of light,
unfolding in silence—
turning darkness into dawn,
breaking the night’s tight hold,
where absence breathes color,
and the unseen traces
become radiant,
softening edges
of forgotten dreams.

#ThePenFlows #prompt #oneofthesedays #amwriting

burnt brush strokes
my onyx angel conjured
from timeless kisses
inside distressed frames

a dangerous seduction
savoring the sting
of masculine desire
against feminine fire

freedom designed
sensual seeds planted
to restore through love
grow where deeply set

Trefoil blossoms

trefoil circlet 'round her head
protecting all these dewdrop thoughts
her feet on grass have duly bled
all battles done, the dark was fought
with fiery balls of passion true
her enemies never stood a chance
and while they're fading into blue
all that she cares about is dance.

#poem #ThePenFlows

Summer thunder drums
behind the hills—
a war no one wins.
Dust lifts like old flags.
The trees hold their breath.
Cattle turn eastward.
No blood, no flame,
just sky breaking its knuckles
on silence too long kept.

Bare feet press
into chilled blades of grass—
each step discovering dew,
small worlds shimmering,
whispers of earth waking slow,
toes tracing unseen trails,
silence held between steps—
a quiet journey begun
with no cares or worries.

#ThePenFlows #prompt #bare #feet #amwriting #writingCommunity

Rise again—
quiet as earth cracking,
a small fist pushing
through dark weight,
unseen beneath cold stones,
the stubborn pulse of green
against silence,
proof that beneath stillness,
life waits,
patient,
to break open
and begin anew.

Nicely done, Raymond

In autumn’s amber hush,
three deer tread,
silent wanderers
in twilight’s thread.
Their bond, a cipher
of fragile grace,
woven in time’s
elusive trace.
Through shadowed woods
their spirits roam,
a fleeting rhythm,
where roots find home.

This is so beautiful!!! 🤩

You've stolen my heart
The moment you set your eyes on me
You give me a longing for more of you
A mutual obsession of intimacy and desire
Our souls entwined in starry skies
Seeing the beauty in forever
