All this time
After all this time
My muse
Has not left me

I gained and I lost
All from the same palm
Without even one
Slight caress
Of your beautiful face

I carry an invisible satchel
Full of nothing
But heartbeats of you
Close to my heart
Close to my no-sense
Keeping me warm
Glassy eyed and weirdly quirky

Sometimes stagnant or
Suddenly volatile
Still my pen
Is my lifes’ harpoon

Looking into your eyes
I have become a poet

Lost footsteps
Search in the
#Great_wide_somewhere
Here there and everywhere

Following the susurrus
Of starlight whispers
Haunting all knowing
Of meant to be hearts pounding

Signs all around
Tho’ darkness surrounds
Perhaps their path’s
Epic not tragic

in october's embrace,
leaves dance in the breeze,
crimson and gold,
a symphony of trees.

autumn's magic whispers,
in every hue,
october's grace,
a painting anew.

Walls without mirrors
here no looks are deemed lesser
your blossoms not judged
by earth surrounding your roots
steps on your lifeline matter

Kill them gently
Kill them violently
Or not kill them at all
It makes no difference
The bloody things
Still crawl back out
They never go away

The scents of the garden
Perfumed her hair & shoulders.

The night gave her a sequined gown
Made of its own beauty,

Crystal earrings,
& necklace infused with moonlight;
& she was full of stars.
& the moon was jealous.

& when she loved me,
She was beautiful,

& she was mine.

Another Saturday awakens and with it a new #LandmarksVSS #prompt :

Hope you enjoy writing as much as I enjoy reading.

You died
It happened
Months ago
But here you are
Tainted breaths afire
Under a bloody sky
Ghosts aren't real
So you can't be here
It's a trick of the light
Or some hellish joke
We won't fall for this
You are dead and gone

As destiny weaves
Its enigmatic web
Of possibilities around
Us our rebal hearts
Grasp at threads of
Desire that caress our
Souls into a galaxy
Of stars of the forbidden
Fruits hanging on the

It all began with a cerulean tree,

a quiet storm..

in the distance
soft rolling thunder

bringing change

I ask for mercy…

Full fathom five thy father lies
Of his bones are coral made.
Those are pearls that were his eyes.
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea change
Into something rich and strange.

As the sun
fades beyond the horizon
A mist
delicately veils the lilies' bells
A gentle frost
blankets my chilled mat
Glistening
like countless mirrors
In the soft glow of lamplight
I #probe
the shadows of night
Endlessly seeking
you
And longing grips my heart
