[image] life defies logic conducting what i resist i bend anyway #conduct #vss365 #uropoet #life #haiku

[image] the conflict was as old as time; mediation failed between heart and mind. no one would yield. all manoeuvres failed. at last, the mind was gently beguiled by the artful heart. #vss365 #mediate #inkMine #uropoet #heart #life #love #heart

[image] Regression rates what rises still, falls recorded, weighed, and known, yet upward strains against the chill, and finds a height it calls its own. #FoxProse @FoxProse

[image] I keep finding ethereal foliage pressed between pages. Leaves too pale to have grown outside, veined with what isn't chlorophyll. The house keeps insisting I'm the one who planted them. I know I did not. #bionicanadian @bionicanadian

[image] The anger never arrived. It #rose. Slowly enough to take my voice before I recognised it. Forgiveness belonged to someone else. #vss365

[image] Everyone she loved had a talent for it. The clean exit, the upward angle, gone before you could name what was left. She stood in the same place for years. Watched them fly. The sky never once looked back. They did not, either. #Amatory @Amatoryq

[image] The deed listed measurements, boundaries, and rights of way. It accounted for every wall, window, and acre. Yet none of it explained why the rooms felt familiar as I crossed the threshold. Some inheritances arrive as property. Others arrive as #mother. #vss365

[image] scathing memory time never stays still i claim it as mine only to watch it slip i reach for the rails of life and find quicksand fury unleashed, still defenseless against the laws of life #vss365 #life #fury #uropoet 📷 from X

[image] not every kiss needs lips some make the heart fertile #vss365 #uropoet #senryu #fertile 📸 from X

[image] Sun hung high, moon playing peekaboo, birds rushing home, a blue one asked if I was hiding in the shadow I said,only looking for a rest house, a few days to lay my tired limbs sprout of laughter broke &said, you’re like us, a home for a few days, & then newer skies #vss365

[image] The luscious lie was dressed in gold, and whispered through my door; I knew the voice was not my own, yet let it speak once more. By dawn, it knew my every name, and wore my face with pride; I tried to kill what I had made, but found myself inside. #bionicanadian @bionicanadian

[image] i asked you what was the most novel experience was it surreal or just dreamy you answered "us" it became the novelty the reality and the dream #vss365 #uropoet #novel

[image] …and there he #defenestrated all her poems, her emotions, her letters, her heart — love’s aftermath turned rebel… #vss365

[image] there was a majestic power in your #supercilious heart it never admitted it had already found home #vss365 #uropoet #Amatory

[image] How do you like your poems? Do you like them as seasonal #fruit, juicy, devoured before the season turns. Do you like them as night, keeper of allegorical light, shining through dark. Do you like them forbidden— #fruit you dare to eat. Tell me. #vss365

[image] first came life then love the falling was inevitable #vss365 #uropoet #falling #love #DeCrescent_prompt 📷 @Amatoryq

[image] #thief came dressed in my own face, knew too well what it should take; a touch, a room, scent of lace, the small mistakes we did not make. He left watches on the shelf, rings, letters, and the grief; only stole my former self and locked the years beyond belief. #vsstimetravel

[image] gravity pulls down snow gathering on lashes unfallen pearls #haiku #uropoet #gravity #vss365 📷 from X

[image] The flint arrowhead fits my thumb exactly. Thousands of years between us, yet the maker's hand had measured the same grip, the same instinctive curl of the fingers. #primitive suddenly seemed the wrong word. Familiar was closer. #vss365

[image] A #shift so quiet none would name, the light gives way, the hour turns, something settles, still the same; a truth, a nod, in quiet ferns. #vss365

[image] rose after rainfall one petal clings to your hair spring forgets the wind #vss365 #rose #uropoet

[image] the vile man always spoke ill he was not evil only sad with no language for what hurt everyone shouted back and he cried inwards #evil #vss365 #uropoet

[image] M ornings began to lean towards you O ur silences slowly learned movement M iles lost their meaning between us E ven distance tilted closer N othing remained where it was T wo hearts altered their course U ntil love gathered M otion into us #nonet #Acrostic #vss365 #momentum

[image] The starlings arrived before the light changed. One thought, shared by thousands of harbingers of twilight, turning above the valley until the sky forgot its colour. No one told the sheep. The grammar of the afternoon had shifted. #bionicanadian @bionicanadian

[text] Eyes, A short story, half written, behind those irises. A windowless prose where dark brown orbs become simile of emptiness. Quiet side of day, they wore endless night with a lid of eyelids. Beneath them shelters the paused dreams, resonating silence of #evenfall #vss365

[image] lightning, thunder fade what remains, petrichor the smell of love after noise i wish it stayed #lightning #vss365 #love #uropoet 📷 from X

[image] I am a riot of furies, close enough to be normal, #remote enough to watch myself perform it. Nobody suspects the calm ones until the room's already burning and I'm still holding the match like it was always mine to carry. #vss365

[image] Wishes at moonlight come most clear to those the daylight hours worn- not grand, just less the weight of fear, just less than torn. No moon has ever known to give the wish the damaged bring at night- it shows them only how to live inside its light. #Amatory @Amatoryq

[image] We shared an #apprehension: love, with spirit of storm, and doubt hovering like nimbi. Breath and heartbeat, close enough to be one, but tomorrow’s fear crept between us. A vow for forever, was only ever the rainbow that made us smile through storms. #vss365

[image] The curtain falls on grief's show where painted smiles hide woe, a bitter jest, a sweetened lie, maudlin vaudeville; so am I. Applause for sorrows dressed as art, a bow conceals a broken heart; The show goes on; none see the actor drowning quietly. #bionicanadian @bionicanadian

[image] I wear you across my heart; #jewellery pre-selected. Weighted by desire, patterned in a filigree #spellbound with feelings too heavy, I agree, for me. #vss365

[image] Coast held still while I forgot what stillness felt, underfoot, no wave to fight, no storm or knot, just ground that asked for nothing but my weight, my weariness and my name, took them in without a price, no rescue owed, no debt to claim, land that never asked me twice. #vss365

[image] The dusk grows soft where moonlight starts, a hush that lets the sky unfold, it gathers what the day imparts, and keeps what light cannot hold. #bionicanadian @bionicanadian

[image] The sea forgets no name it drowned, it turns and turns without a shore, a wave, a voice, no sure sound, that seeks the land it lost before. Someone walks beneath its foam, not fish, not wreck, but memory's tide, it will not rest, it has no home, until the debt of depth subsides.

[image] #inkMine #vss365 #Amatory #FoxProse #OurPoetryX #blatant #uropoet #love #life a daunting cheeky act to find the hidden pearl to taste the moments that rest at the edge of knowing a code to be broken as i glimpse into her shell imperfect blatant the air shifts and something

[image] let life love me the way i have loved it cultivating length from brief moments and tenderness from every emotion softness invites me to surrender hard days ask me to stand still #Amatory #uropoet

[image] The beautiful wound is the specific angle of light that catches the scar years later, in a room you thought was safe. #bionicanadian @bionicanadian

[image] She's asleep, and I'm still awake, watching how still she gets when nothing's asking anything of her. That's the part I pulled back to see. Far enough to notice she's real. #Amatory @Amatoryq

[image] the old book after the rains carried my life story one alive one #carrion #vss365 #uropoet

[image] I have stood between cedar and oak for so long that I have taken on their properties. Aromatic with old grief. Immovable with the particular weight of a decision never made. #FoxProse @FoxProse

[video] every morning he swept the fallen leaves by evening the garden had corrected him #vss365 #uropoet #garden

[image] …. we became the finest #creation of God— do we deserve the post? we wage war, ruin the earth, erase the tacit gifts, forget humanity… still calling ourselves the finest? #vss365

[image] Our singular memory: a fracture of light that's been honeyed by youth, hazed by age. Edges dare to harden, a weighty anagnorisis lurks to shatter a life lived so long in love. But we're an #orbital wonder. Undelineated. Faith reframed in the thick dark as stars. #vss365

[image] Longing for stillness- a sweetened #ring dissolving into time well spent. #haiku #vss365

[image] a candle in the swamp where shadows know my name they rise slow, familiar mud clinging to memory i have worn them before but tonight this small flame does not bow it stays and that is how i do not sink #FoxProse #life #uropoet

[image] Lamp stays lit past when it should, not out of fear, but a simple choice; nights insist on being stood through, wide awake, without a voice to call for rest that isn't earned, not yet, not while the mind still turns old accounts, debts unlearned, the quiet keeps its own returns.

[image] Darkness found asylum in a streak of light, it paused here to breathe, while life, #ashamed of its own aliveness. We sat in silence, in love, watching the contradiction, with our life scribbled in darkness with light. We smiled. That was the answer, we sought. #vss365

[image] #vss365 #headwind

[text] I hold you in my #arms, and listen to your breaths, one quiet rise at a time, until it echoes into mine. Between each breath a pause, a stillness, a soft surrender, where I loosen my grip and fall, into something like salvation. #vss365
