writers + poets

[image] The #villain of every story I have lived wore my face. By the time I recognized him, he had my voice. Most of his work was already done. #vss365

[image] we stay quieter than silence a gliding breeze passes through us fishing the space between your hand and mine something almost happens #vss365 #uropoet #love #fishing #FoxProse #Amatory 📷 from X

[image] disgruntled i filed another complaint with silence life returned it unopened #disgruntle #uropeot #vss365 📸 from X

[image] The string of love, stretched but not broken, when he questioned my love with silence. I waited with patience, for words to come my way, but #shrewd quietude handed me only another episode of wait. #vss365 #foxprose

[image] You are a decadent #temptation— chocolate laced with orange, nutty bites of love; rich cocoa melting every inhibition, creamy, promising forever; caramelised craving, a flake of salt on my tongue— yearning. #vss365

[image] There is a kindness in between, the pause before the step. I stood where I had always been and found I had not left. The threshold asked for nothing more than that I know I'm here. I put my hand against the door and felt myself appear. #poetry

[image] They said he fell. The window remained open. The meeting continued. By evening, his name had been removed from the minutes. #defenestrate #vss365

[image] Darkness handed a piece of #fruit grown in a garden no map shows; I took one bite and felt the root of hunger hell itself won't know. It didn't taste of sin or shame, just embers dressed as honeyed sweet; a private, unrepentant flame, too dark for hell to ever eat. #vss365

[image] At the #summit, where everything went silent— no thoughts, no words, just nirvana— I found my peace beyond the dark, the fear, the doubt. #vss365

[image] ennui of water undone by a whispered “us” nothing holds its form #vss365 #water #love #uropoet #haiku 📷 from X

[image] Dear you, be the poet, I’ll be the poem, unfinished, waiting for you to name what I am. With metaphors and adjectives. of being looked at like I matter. Yours, Miss #Supercilious-in-Love P.S. — your love is the ego I can’t apologize for. #vss365

[image] #Balanced on two parallel lines, they dreamed one destination, believed in a love of their own kind, gave partnership a new name, a new meaning, steady as a pair of scales. #vss365

[image] #vss365 not overt, always gentle she mourns, not the lies but holds her truth #blatant gilded in gold scars her breath spiky no scorch no smoke just a vow, to make devotion out of damage. 🖤 #ωнιѕρєяѕ

[image] the crow caws loud, raw, lamenting lost love the raven waits hushed eulogy a refrain of nevermore kins in black the raven and the crow a choice that turns to noise or fades quietly in shadows 🖤 #ωнιѕρєяѕ #FoxProse

[image] Few of them land. Most evaporate before they reach anything. Rarely see the ones that fall. You find them later, in the cloth, in the grain, in the way a room smells after the unsaid finally leaves it. Words fall like rain. Only some of them find ground. #FoxProse @FoxProse

[image] a breeze flowing across a picnic waiting in the sun a drive through the hills a walk through the rains a night full of music snow peaked mountains and a warm fire what was stunning was how every one became ours #vss365 #uropoet #stunning 📸 from X

[image] Let your pride #waver - humility is private. It cannot be taught. #haiku #vss365

[image] angry at life i walk into the mist breathe with me with this strength i conquer patient until the fall unabashed i begin again #vss365 #uropoet #Amatory #conquer 📸 from X

[image] exalted radiance cosmos pulling inward she becomes it #vss365 #uropoet #exalt #haiku 📸 from X

[text] Hemingway quoted: he said to write about life you have to live it first.

[image] #evenfall is the hour they keep, when shutters close and voices blend; they bless the dusk and call it sleep, as if all hungers found an end. I wait where no shadows stay; the night is deepest before dawn, when light arrives to strip away the dark the others carried on. #vss365

[image] The wind plucked the harp, a melody so sweet they swayed, mesmerised. #Tailwind and the night’s restless spirit conspired, pressed them close into love. Caress met inhibition, and left no space between them. #vss365

[image] #vss365 #ring #FoxProse #uropoet #love #life slide down the rainbow like it was meant to save me colors blur before they settle on hire life, its anxieties take hold even in the brightest fall a hollow ring echoes through the light i smile where i should shine but something

[image] In the non-fragrant #garden of bougainvillea, love was one rose, so full of fragrance, it alone claimed the whole place. You are that rose, who makes me whole in this brokenness I grow with. #vss365

[image] beneath the storm i enter the pause a quiet destruction within still the sonnet waits #FragmentsFriday #uropoet Much gratitude to @MatthewMCSmith @blackboughpoems

[image] An honest #appraisal of a life takes longer than the life itself. You need distance. You need the ones who knew you to be gone. You need the silence that comes after, when the only voice left is the one you least wanted to hear. ♠️ #vss365

[image] sometimes change comes unannounced the cadence stayed the same but the strides grew longer hope lingered a little more and so did the heart #vss365 #cadence #uropoet 📸 form X

[image] It rained today, so beautifully, as if you were pouring your love, unspoken. Was that drizzle your footnote on my dormant heart, waking what sleeps? This monsoon, just confess, #reveal, let the sky say what you won’t. #vss365

[image] illusive lover utopia feels like truth life breaks the spell #haiku #illusive #vss365 #love #uropoet 📸 from X

[image] You became the forbidden #fruit, A sin that I could not let go, I devoured and felt the poison run through my veins, you became my stubbornness— the one wound I refuse to heal, the only hunger I still trust. #vss365

[image] No warning comes before I act, I plan the hour, not just rage; this calm called #evil is in fact a patience built to fit the cage. I keep no anger in my hands, never raise my voice or blame; I build the order no one plans, a face no memory can name. #vss365

[image] a swipe and a slash stroke after stroke she masters the brush over burned pages a timeless rhythm of tender salvation ash lifts in quiet sighs, char remembering flame 🖤 #ωнιѕρєяѕ #FoxProse #Amatory

[image] keep the seed safe hidden in a poets heart plant it in the ink of a tale wait a day, a minute, a life and watch it thrive an emerald promise of infinite miracles 🖤 #ωнιѕρєяѕ #FoxProse @FoxProse

[image] #Tend the sapling of love, till it roots into the soil of life, and wait for it to blossom into an orchard to bring in seasons of shade, and strangers home. #vss365

[image] brief pause.. your shoulder became the place where i learned to rest to renew while holding moments steady against every headwind #vss365 #uropoet #headwind 📸 from X

[image] the uneven surface does not stop me my pen moves slower now learning you each line pressed between breath and skin ink fades; this stays beneath a warmth spreading emerald into ruby #vss365 #love #pen #uropoet #love 📸 from X

[image] some days assure us there is more to life a small nudge a tight hug someone next to you the little things quietly reminding you to breathe to live #vss365 #assure #life #uropoet 📸 from X

[image] unalloyed emotions enter clean then leave us fractured a man survives by diluting them but lives only when one feeling refuses to soften #vss365 #unalloyed #uropoet 📷 from X

[image] Their pain grew on #fertile soil of love — separation, a silent poetry of war and peace. She loved him like Tolstoy’s prose, he loved her like Neruda’s verse — a journal kept, called forever. They ached, yet loved. They pained, yet loved. They loved. #vss365

[image] Empty pages whirl. A #magnanimous approach soothes the story out. #haiku #vss365

[image] under your hands lines we don’t see begin to shift a stroke, slow, deliberate across the page my favorite obsession was ink until it became you #vss365 #uropoet #shift 📸 from X

[image] The sun stood at its highest point and began, at once, its surrender. I have always thought there was a gothic elegance in that. The brightest things are already fading when they shine the most. #bionicanadian @bionicanadian

[image] barren light the walls ache softly I answer no one #vss365 #barren #life #uropoet 📷 Anish K Gupta

[image] Last #batch of yellow lilies lay scattered on the pillow that witnessed our union, a nascent beginning, some withered, some crushed beneath the weight of desire, some still inhibited, some coy, some fresh, the silent story of love and lip sealed moans. #vss365

[image] life kept moving without asking then you placed your hand in mine and momentum became music every hurried step learning slowly the quiet dance of love #momentum #vss365 #uropoet 📸 from X

[video] feral longing, the bee bruises itself on closed flowers #vss365 #feral #uropoet

[image] They held each other long till time forgot to move, silence thickening into bond, #patient touch asking for one thing only: to call this union imperial. We were you, me, names borrowed from another lifetime, waiting still to meet forever. #vss365

[image] #appraisal of our story. strangers, then acquaintance, then lover, this is how we were valued. now, what remains is forever stamped and sealed, bound by time to outlast it. #vss365

[image] I twist, I #turn, restlessness has moved address, from my heart to my mind, the shortest journey, the hardest one. And with that, night turned in insomniac’s paradise, and day an overthinker’s heaven. #vss365

[image] Three crows on a gravestone. One flew away. Then another. The third remained until dark. #Quietus. Night took the witness. #vss365
