writers + poets

[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] The overture unfurled, note after note, a magical realism, you and I turned protagonist, living what could be fiction. No #brooms, no witches, no tyranny of time, only what held us together— love. #vss365

[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] 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] A postcard from 1994 showed up in my mailbox this morning. Separated by time, addressed in my own handwriting to someone I haven't been in thirty years. Three words written: "Don't look back." #bionicanadian @bionicanadian

[image] Their life was no soap opera, aired at prime time, just a quieter story of struggle and challenge, of love and forgiveness. They weren’t lovers, but destiny bound them in marriage’s stubborn knot, they built a life together, though forever stayed a stranger to them. #vss365

[text] ☕ 12時型・3行のつぶやき いたずらにつけられた キスマーク 久しぶりに… ⸻ A playful little kiss mark, left on my skin— it’s been a while… Three-Line Whisper from Japan

[image] The #glove was already on my hand when I woke up. I could not remember putting it there. Black leather, buttoned at the wrist. I pulled it off slowly and found my palm marked with five bruises, as though someone had been holding my hand all night. #vss365

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

[text] ☕ 12時型・3行のつぶやき 歓びは　笑顔を描く 私は　あなたを笑顔にする あなたの　スペシャリスト ⸻ Joy paints a smile, and I’m here to make you smile— your very own specialist in happiness. Three-Line Whisper from Japan

[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] In the cracks of the wall, In the chipped cup, and termite bitten wardrobe, I stay put as a fatigued yesterday; When I #comb through days & memories, I realise I have lost a whole lot of my valuables, I stay put in your apologies in the joy box, safely guarded. #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] Crushed man can still stand. I answer when spoken to, eat, sleep, laugh when required. No one sees the verdict I carry beneath my tongue, repeated so often it no longer sounds like a sentence: It was my turn. You took the keys. It is my fault. It is my fault. It is my fault.

[image] I stood at the edge of the sea and watched the #moonglade tremble across the water. For a moment, I thought it was leading somewhere. Then I remembered you standing beside me and understood why I had never followed it. #vss365

[image] I remember my mother holding my hand that afternoon. I also remember her letting go. Both memories are perfect. Both contain the same double exposure. Only one has me in it. #bionicanadian @bionicanadian

[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] Reality dreams in the voice of the dead. It borrows their faces, leaves rooms untouched, and waits for morning to return everything except the people. The waking world becomes the crueler fiction, and sleep the only place that still tells the truth. #bionicanadian @bionicanadian

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

[image] distorted, hammered illusions curdle within this passes as life #vss365 #uropoet #hammer #haiku #life 📷 from X

[image] hidden silhouette she sings, almost unhinged veil pierced flutters #haiku #vss365 #sing #FoxProse #life #uropoet 📸 unknown

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

[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 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
