writers + poets

[image] Let me strike a deal, an #embrace for an embrace, a kiss for a kiss, a dream against a dream. But for one lifetime, I want all your lifetimes, a forever, still in the making. #vss365

[image] Dear you, #arrive— before the spring retreats, before summer camps around our seasonal romance, before monsoon brings its long wait, before love’s autumn takes its quiet leave. Yours, a flavour beyond love. #vss365

[text] I saw you sitting there and decided to walk over The bench was big enough for two, maybe even four people to sit down. I sat down and opened up my book while you just sat there looking at the water I still have no idea what you were thinking about But your energy just felt

[image] Betrayed by a #mélange of emotions, her carmine blush recited the sonnet she only hummed. Amidst the orange& purple sky, the dark pits of her eyes brimmed, nimbus-heavy, floats. The intrinsic pressure builds she, in her solitude, mumbles his name & sighs. #foxprose #vss365

[image] #Sanguine silence sweetly started soulful sojourn, selecting stories, spreading seeds, scattering serenity, surrendering sorrow's shade, steadily seeking sunlight. #vss365

[image] In the storm where #chaos brews, a story, I find myself dwelling in the sojourn that’s you. In every thought that leaves its imprint in ink and paper, it becomes you, a bedlam of my lawless emotions. In my existence, in my being, in my dwam, it’s you. #vss365

[image] I don't write to find you. I know where you linger. No lighthouse steers your steps. You only see those who shine. I don't shine. If we meet again, I'll see through you as you see through me. When you quit coming, I gave up waiting. #poetry

[image] Come, dream with me in these story-nights, pause, cherish the beauty of illusion. You hold me, #comb the rain tangled in my hair, hum a love song. I become your reality, I read your verses, kiss your words, all of it a dream I refuse to wake from. #vss365 #foxprose

[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] 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] After #exploring every hue of blue, twilight chose argent stars. Clothed in gown embellished by stars, night gathered lovers, poets, artists for a soirée, and there the poet's muse found out the colour of love: a melange of ache. #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] The #kettle stays just off boil for softening leather that isn't leather. Skin holds its shape better warm. I've worn three faces this week and none of them were mine to begin with. #vss365

[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] Coming into season, the yellowed hue upon the approaching winter sky. From the amethyst of warmth to the forgotten spring, a #reprieve of cold sighs, a shadow of autumn. No dins just ditty, that is season of love. #vss365 #foxprose

[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

[video] You used to tell me grief doesn't need managing, but company. I never fully believed that when you said it. I believe it now. There's no #console wide enough for what this actually is. No word big enough to hold it steady while I catch my breath. #vss365

[image] Is it a #marvel or deep desire, love sang the song, and every note augmented, and they swayed along, orbiting around one thought; … a moment to call theirs, a lifetime to be together… #vss365

[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] Forgetting was never the way through. The real trick is learning to carry the old life without it showing in how you walk. People eventually stop asking if you're alright. That is not healing. That is only telling them I'm alright. And it can't be further from the truth.

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

[image] I hide poems in random places. One waits in your cinnamon eyes, deep, dense, dreaming, reciting the verses we penned together. There, where the midnight moon turns muse to poets, we hid four lines on our love, before that goodbye.

[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

[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] the work the peace even the turns remotely controlled and all this while i thought i was choosing the road #remote #vss365 #uropoet

[image] How to #sustain the rhythm of words when ache outweighs the living? the poet answers— the rose sustains wearing its thorns, the moth burns for love, the wave keeps reaching the moon though it never arrives, the kite kisses cloud tethered still to ground— you can too. #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] I read your words when you preach silence; I seek your presence when #passion is redefined by your nearness. Tell me— how do I let you go when your absence still feels like your presence, when I breathe the very breath you leave behind? #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] Roll the #dice, start the game, wait your turn, then play. Sounds like any board game, but isn’t this life, isn’t this love? You play your bit, then wait for turn to come again. A beautiful game, rigged by destiny. #vss365

[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] Night had an incomplete story to complete, so it lent the dark a taste of smoke and cedar, laced it with Jasmine— and I, with pen between my lips mistook us, for autumn: you the colour that stays, me, the leaf still falling. And we became the #autumnal tale. #vss365
