- star-filled skies lift the eye upward ever upward ever beyond while they wink then slowly fall, fated as us all to be born then unwind the rapacious hunger of time a last reminder that all moments fade away, and everything must die. - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky #read

- i almost believed tonight was lit by a will beyond indifference the sky gaped like it might reply but even the stars kept their distance each one a cold vagary aloof in their disdain for the prettiness of love - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky #read

- nothing sacred survives love’s fire only what it cannot touch remains unscathed your voice is a salve for a soul withered, scorched, afraid to face the starscape gleaming through the ash just beyond my closed eyes - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky #read

- dirigibles rise from a pastel sea seething in indignation we're abandoned to the waves clinging to trees on a receding strand the enigma of the moment defies words stifles our cries the violence is watercolor-pretty mirrored in your eyes so wide in resignation - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky

~ He was a guru of silence, his code unwritten, pulsing beneath the skin One vowel—bare, unadorned— was enough She read him like a prayer between breaths, where meaning moaned in absence She knew: every poem, a plea for her Kiss me. Hold me. His ink burned her name in every line ~ 𝓩𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓪𝓫

- the man in line at Starbucks quoted horoscopes denounced plastic straws called rage vibrational. i nodded as though i truly gave a shit. though the coffee burn on the roof of my mouth taught more than this self-anointed guru ever could. - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky #read

- you're the agony in starlight the unyielding gaze of night long dead, insistent you're the progenitor of every scream the terrors of daybreak you're the whispers amidst the sycamore leaves crow calls for the damned and i am your minion an unholy shadow awaiting - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky

- there is a silence between breath and intent between word and wound a liminal sliver where nothing is true and everything aches you said you never meant to hurt me but we were already caught in the pause that becomes goodbye - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky #read

- your coat on the chair frames the silhouette you left behind not a ghost, only the echo of weight lodged where love barters silence the tea cools while i fade to gray, the life we nearly shaped still breathes in a shadow’s pulse - parallel yet apart. - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky #read

- sometimes memory spirals rain’s ozone odor tangles in my pulse each beat dissolving into time’s forever silence ache orbits me each time i reach for you i falter at love’s event horizon until gravity claims me drawn backward into the vortex of all we lost. - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky #read

- gulls cry low over saltworn stone the sea forgets her tide and groans beneath the ache of time i see my soul pleading mercy along the crags drifting past realms the sea cannot explain where we summit our final peak and reach to see that first sunrise absent translation. - #vss365 #poetry #read

- your letter faded like moonlight in a rain-drenched field - no return address. deep in the breezes of midnight intentions the reeds murmur elegies for lives they’d only dreamed. only the susurrus of unspoken words, a final breath dissolving into silence. - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky #read

- carried in the blood a relentless current stirs inside me a primordial need, a bone-seeped hunger restless in the marrow so deep it can no longer be denied is that what love is? a viral ache that permeates the body, mutating, replicating - and maybe contagious - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky

~ The earth and self wore our wild, forbidden footprints—not dance but a ruthless interrupt You shattered my gaze with each burning step, like desire clawing through silence Stones moaned with wounded echoes each syllable set aflame The ground, trembling, screamed one word— Love ~ 𝓩𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓪𝓫

- night lies bare upon the sea within his arms surrender's sigh her starlight aches in pulsing waves a tide of silver rising high she melts inside his sloe embrace her luster traced along his skin in him she sees her boundless self a cosmos held yet never thinned - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky

- that wicked flicker in your eye salacious serpentine makes my mulled-heart comply with kisses bitten benedictions each the answer to the other's wishes like echoes ardent in hunger-laced hush like the slash of a thousand paper cuts each a poem bleeding my name - #poetry #vss365 #poetrysky

- breaths flow between liminal spaces two faces once so in love now fading toward a hazed horizon - looming less familiar what remains is the memory of ache, the heart's wake takes the shape of sunset - pressed gray by a gathering fog. - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky #read

~ As blue ink to paper, a song scraped from my lips— filtered through your moonlight, steeped in the blood of flowers you once touched Sealed in an envelope, buried in want Ink bruises my bones— I thirst to hold your paper-thin moon as stars scrape the dark to mirror your breath ~ 𝓩𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓪𝓫

- loneliness is cold an icy ache that only snowflakes know to be so singular yet caught in a deluge of freefall perfection to never be noticed afloat on a breeze briefly shimmering then seeking to scrape at a window pane hoping to be seen before melting away - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky #read

- O beloved moon, bathe me deep in your ruthless light scour my skin raw in such pallid waves that i transform into bonebright gloam that i may transcend the frailty of so much pain harden my heart in obsidian petrifaction erased from love no trace of me remains - #vss365 #poetry #poetrysky

~ I curse my blindness, my ravenous love This small, single ache consumes me unseen, yet unrelenting My eyes lower, in shame, but in hunger— Let me face you again, bare to your flame, to burn without mercy in your gaze, and slowly, sweetly vanish on the lips of your kiss, undone ~ 𝓩𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓪𝓫
