writers + poets

[image] A string of clouds drifted through unnamed sky, lengthening the chain, blessing the tribe. They #frolicked, they turned to festival, rain becoming ritual. There, under a sky that owns no gender, love found its rite: a first kiss, unwitnessed, whole. #vss365

[image] Named was blood that felled the king, and kept the tale through fire; I inherited neither crown nor ring, but names that would not tire. The witches spoke; the kingdoms bled, while time made legend of the scar; I carry ghosts among my dead, and #toil beneath the star. #vss365

[image] i don’t stay at the surface seafoam between us with you, soft turns into pull i give way not slowly, not safely until even i can’t tell what held me together #vss365 #uropoet #love #seafoam 📷 from X

[image] one day i will fill your shoes sprouting shooting tall like you brave enough to face the world even when it stands against me and wherever these shoes take me your footsteps will remain inside mine #sprout #vss365 #uropoet

[image] On a summer-kissed night, monsoon trailing, #roses bloomed lilac, and they lay in love’s sultry embrace. Eyes locked, lips sealed, poetry overflowing, dreams a little too many. They caressed every emotion, dewy togetherness, till roses ornamented their frame, and stayed.

[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] villainous smile ravenous want rapturous eyes the room never quite returned to itself #villain #uropoet #vss365 📸 from X

[video] #vss365 #lion #uropoet lunar seafoam breath on my mouth, your cat-soft, fish-slow touch finding me my hammer pulse gives in as we drift undersea, tactician hands unlearning their trickery in a jade hush your lips stay, lightning once, and we don’t pull apart the dichotomous

[image] A poet sat down at the keys and played through the dark by degrees. The notes hit the air, the room held its prayer, and the silence itself fell to #swoon. #vss365

[image] music tethers my scattered soul the beat reminds me I am still alive #tether #vss365 #uropoet 📷 from X

[image] a weaver of lives he spun the tale the finest #tactician made humans gave them want and called it will gave them hunger and named it choice now he watches threads knotting on their own and wonders where the design failed #vss365 #uropoet #life

[image] most days add themselves to the calendar a few undo the count and add to life #vss365 #uropoet #undo

[image] luminous embrace, beneath your quiet heartbeat mine returned too #vss365 #uropoet #luminous 📷 from X

[image] #fleeting brushed the windowpane, a moth-wing touch, a breath of rain; it lit the dust, then slipped away, and left the room to its decay. I raised my hand and caught a gleam already thinning into air; the world was whole within that seam, then ordinary everywhere. #vss365

[image] cradle of love locked against the river mine hangs there still #cradle #vss365 #uropoet 📸 by me

[image] #vss365 #uropoet #ashamed a divine temptation to cling and tend the fertile garden of life to weed out the evil chaos and let creation sprout where our lips meet i am neither ashamed to call you mine too much in love to ever be shrewd about you the urge to be with you

[video] #stellar in his life, bright in his orbit. dopamine keeps him lit. adrenaline holds the seams. from afar pure light. up close, fine cracks running warm. #vss365 #uropoet #life

[image] Bound to you first by the umbilical cord, your blood still flows through my veins. I am your reflection, your love living in me. And now, a mother to my daughter, I carry forward the strength & tenderness you gave to me. The bond that began, will flow for generations. #vss365

[image] Their gazes met, monsoon drizzled down — if not love at first sight, it was attraction at first glance. Hearts #toiled, flirting at the edge, lips quivered, eyes spoke, hands found fingers, and with thunder and lightning — first kiss. #vss365 #foxprose

[image] I have learned to consume the night in small pieces. A cup of something warm. A page. Rain, if I am lucky. I do not look at the clock. I take the hours one at a time, like a penance I have stopped expecting to end. #Amatory @Amatoryq

[video] i could ask you for a dance i could ask you to swoon i could ask you to love me i could ask all this and much more but i can't can i? #vss365 #uropoet #swoon 🎥 from X

[image] pulled by a force some choose to call it love i call it divine #divine #vss365 #uropoet 📸 from X

[image] She picked the berries the way she did everything- quietly, without ceremony. I watched her hands. I did not know I was memorising them. The berries come back every year. I know which ones are ready. I cannot tell you how I know. That is the closest she gets to still being here.

[image] stoic expression, your eyes betray the love you never voiced #betrayal #vss365 #uropoet 📷 from X

[image] That rare thing cannot be cloned like a thing or two It is a #precious memory caught in the #harmony of this déjà vu You're a #bonny prize no compromise - simply you. (All caught up with your wonderful #vss365 prompts @CribbOwens!)

[image] When you lose your dream to destiny, an unease steeps — that; When lilting winds envelop you, warmth spreads — that; When the crescendo of heartbeats fades, love turns to #distance — that. All of it, sentences. All of it, stanzas. All of it, verse. #vss365

[image] almost still, wolves in the pause #wolves #uropoet #vss365 📷 Unknown

[image] lunar crescent the curve of her smile i forget the sky #vss365 #lunar #uropoet 📷 from X

[image] distant horizons we lean into one another night forgets its width #vss365 #distant #uropoet 📸 @Amatoryq

[image] A pressure builds below my ribs that swallows every rising urge; I feel the floor begin to bend, a scream with nowhere left to surge. My teeth are sewn behind my eyes, the dark has learned to hold me down; every thought I speak turns lies to pull me somewhere I can drown.

[image] your kiss undoes gravity and we ascend beyond every limit #ascend #uropoet #vss365 📸 from X

[image] your hand resting on mine the room still even the night holds its breath somehow this small warmth surpasses the sky #surpass #vss365 #love #uropoet

[image] intent, how softly love begins how brutally life edits it #vss365 #intent #uropoet 📷 from X

[image] In night’s #tender embrace, I rest my soul, In your arms’ slow gravity, I rest my doubt, In our silent togetherness, I rest my heart. In you, I dissolve— mind, body, and the space between. #vss365

[image] How #shrewd destiny gets, when expectations go awry, and love turns directionless. That was their story, he who loved her, she who sacrificed her love. But in continuum, they loved anyway, rewriting destiny, recreating their story. #vss365

[image] In the ethereal womb of the night, far from all #revealing realm of light, two pairs of flaming lips met in eloquent silence— your lips and mine. Our thoughts rethread, night after night, verse by verse, skin against skin, relearning every act of love. #vss365 #foxprose

[image] The #momentum, the movement, the gesture, all of it pushing grief toward the shore. Bubbles of pain surfacing like condensed tears, and now an earthy smell of love spreads through the newly opened chasm. That’s love for you. That’s love for me. Ache. Pain. Want. #vss365

[video] bouncy step a tune beneath my breath; no one knows why ✨ #bouncy #life #vss365 #uropoet #haiku #MyThoughts

[image] I'm tired, beaten, fatigued by the urge to flutter, dive, twist & #revolve further under, why? should I #conduct all alone, like a weaker, deeper #sprite of the unknown? when you're the liar, #illusive, #exalt on your own & I'm trying, I wonder, to be lesser grown. #vss365

[image] Sleepless nights tucked in quixotic eyes— an #ascend of aspiration, a descend of aching indifference; love gives wings to dreams, and dreams fly out to conquer the world. #vss365

[image] the needle toils between two torn edges each believing it is the one being mended #toil #vss365 #uropoet 📸 Unknown

[image] I am in love — proud of a love that homes itself in me. Not #ashamed of what makes me whole in my own breaking. #vss365

[image] #Temptation doesn't knock at night, it waits till mind grows tired, then offers rest disguised as light, and calls itself required. I treat it now like a regret, not sin, not fruit, no garden lies, a thing I never can forget before I close my eyes. #vss365

[image] I have crossed oceans of time to find the shore where all I was has gone. Waves have taken what was mine; and grasp at what the tide moved on. The self I was grows hard to name; the mirror holds a stranger's face. I fed the dark, and it became the only thing that knows my place.

[image] temptation arrived quietly wearing your patience not your perfume #vss365 #uropoet #temptation

[image] even a flea tips the water over old grief spills #flea #uropoet #vss365

[image] She was built to be sacred, and I didn't always know how to be in the presence of that. I loved her the way the untrained love what is holy - imperfectly, often from the wrong distance, rarely certain of the protocol. She forgave the distance. She always did. #FoxProse @FoxProse

[image] Do you see the sun and the moon, how they complete the cycle of day & night, a #balance, a trust, a whole lot of love.” “Love? They never meet.” “But it’s the sun that breathes life into the moon, isn’t that love? And it’s the moon that completes the sun. Isn’t that love,
