writers + poets

[image] The candle beside the pew had burned lower than it should have. I'd only been kneeling there a minute, maybe two, and already the #wax had run down past the holder, pooling on the stone, cooling into a shape of its own. #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

[text] ☕ 12時型・3行のつぶやき いろんなことを　打ち明けられるあなた 心のあたたかい場所 かけがえのない宝物 ⸻ You’re the one I can tell anything to, a warm place for my heart, an irreplaceable treasure. Three-Line Whisper from Japan

[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] The towel hung on the fence line and did not move for the wind. I wiped the blade on it same as always. Blood doesn't wash out of cotton. It sinks in. #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] even a flea tips the water over old grief spills #flea #uropoet #vss365

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

[image] Somewhere on these foggy paths I lost the sound of your footsteps behind mine. I have never once found the exact place it happened. No matter how many times I go back looking. Perhaps that is me, still watching the fog forgive the absence every time. #OurPoetryX @OurPoetryX

[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] I curl my bones into a bundle of monochromatic hues— memory, uncoloured. Barren, I fold myself into the winding asphalt, peonies blazing past me. Colourless, I dissolve into black canvas— a #silhouette of maybes. A poem, a memory, or a memoir. #vss365

[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,

[image] Maya carefully conquered hearts with quiet charisma— like glowing amber burning away the sin, like oceanic waves dragging flotsam to a #coast kissed by the wind, like upturned corners of a feathery truth. #foxprose #vss365

[image] Every life has one watershed hour that reroutes everything after it. Mine came the first time music made more sense to me than speech ever had. I have been translating myself through it ever since. #OurPoetryX @OurPoetryX

[image] “Two parallel thoughts, run along the same heart that beats for you and me,” she smiled. “What’s that?” “This #magnetism, the pull that won’t let us drift apart, the logic you keep chasing, that always ends in a question mark.” “That’s love, sweetheart.” #vss365

[image] #midnight is an audit. The noise has closed for business. No meetings remain, no errands, no excuses. The mind opens the ledger and begins itemizing the day: what was done, what was avoided, and what can no longer be blamed on lack of time. #vss365

[image] #Sanguine you, to all my flamboyant words. Cherry blossom you, to all my spring. Constant you, to my changing seasons, Fjords you, to my coalescent emotions. Adjective you, to my wooden prose. Fragrant you, to my July stillness. You, only you, to me. #vss365

[image] we understand so little of the fiend that borrows our voice while we blame twisted moments #FoxProse #Amatory #vss365 #uropoet 📸 from X

[image] the sunset gave everything to the dark yet by morning one thin line of light had conquered the horizon #conquer #vss365 #uropoet

[image] I don't know how many versions of myself I have buried along the way, only that several of them still visit me in dreams, asking why I left them behind. I never have an answer. Growing older means learning which ghosts don't deserve mourning. #FromOneLine @FromOneLine No.429

[image] They admired the ripples in time, from distance. “How long must we wait, each moment eternity’s own length.” “Patient, dear one. Someday we’ll map our constellation, build a paradise.” “Hah. This feels like another lifetime— rings in a tree, counting what we cannot see.”

[image] What leaves me #haunted has no face, no grave, no mark of where it laid; it is the outline of a place I nearly reached before it frayed. The unlived life needs no permission, it comes unbid, it knows the door; I am its only exhibition, the house it haunts forevermore. #vss365

[image] And the angst became my shadow, followed me through nights of silence, nights of chaos; days of hope, hopeless hours. It questioned my happiness till something shifted, and I embraced my shadow. #vss365 #foxprose

[image] one gentle look your appraisal leaves me worth believing #vss365 #uropoet #appraisal 📸 from X

[image] #inkMine #vss365 #orbital #Amatory #FoxProse #OurPoetryX #uropoet #life in the pink fellowship of initiation our dreamy mettle turns grand often twisted turns drift into you like nature’s dance learning our names we plant our breath in orbital silence between ribs and sky

[image] undone by words bare in the quiet between you drape me in love #haiku #vss365 #word #love #uropoet 📷 from X

[image] The first lie was small. Small enough to rescue a friendship, spare a reputation, preserve a marriage. Everything after that was architecture. The truth could not #undo it. #vss365

[image] the horror of life sweeps me through a thousand souls unmoored and unseen #vss365 #horror #uropoet 📸 from X

[image] supercilious and flawed even the cactus withered where it was meant to bloom #supercilious #uropoet #vss365

[image] I remember you as a midnight silhouette, standing by the window while the room behind you slept. I could not see your face, only the curve of your hair and the quiet shape of your hands. Years later, I still remember how beautiful you were to me. #bionicanadian @bionicanadian

[image] a dichotomy in how heartbeats behave one moment they arrive with a thud and when she is away they depart leaving a hole #depart #vss365 #uropoet. .

[image] They loved wordless, a silence so complete it read as verse. Then crisis came. He left in one breath’s leaving, and she stayed, learning to breathe the slow way glass #sponges do, alone, not lonely. #vss365

[image] love didn’t ignite the fire it simply kept revealing what had been waiting beneath the ash all along #vss365 #uropoet #revealing 📸 form X

[image] From lovers to forever, we defined the #divine union, love, not merely emotion, but sonnet, hymn, psalm, we became. Now, two separate lives, carrying the inchoate ditty still, we are night and day, together, never in the same frame. #vss365

[image] it wasn’t the mending that kept us it was how gently we learned to tend what remained #tend #vss365 #uropoet

[image] in stillness, we breathe like something already forgiven locked in your eyes, I forget where the night ends by sunrise, even silence felt tethered to us #vss365 #tether #vssromance #Amatory #uropoet 📷 from X

[image] There is a #magnetism in the dark that I know, in the pull of the thing that was never released, in the field that no distance has weakened or ceased, in the echo that keeps charging the longer I go. #vss365

[image] moonbeam inside the cracked bowl rainwater trembling #vss365 #haiku #uropoet #moonbeam

[image] a rose in the book among brittle whispered words you stay evergreen #word #vss365 #uropoet #love #haiku 📷 from X

[image] Colour & light, dreams & hope, all stayed entwined as part of their life, till doubt displaced love, and a tear thawed into pain. Still they held to forever till, giving it #quietus, he left, and she sailed on, the last passenger of a sinking ship. #vss365 @bionicanadian

[image] anubis, you passed me i wandered no rites, no weight to my name the dead refused the living recoiled i remain- between #psychopomp #vss365 #uropoet #life 📷 Unsplash

[image] Old photographs remember us in monochrome skin. It is as though the camera understood something colour never could. What matters beneath survives best without the distraction of surface. Every face in that box looks more honest for it. #bionicanadian @bionicanadian

[image] seven vows and they announced victory neither of them noticed the sentence had already begun #victory #uropoet #vss365

[image] in love with you peace is not a dove it does not fly it stays warming composing us #uropoet #vss365 #dove 🕊️ 📷 from X

[image] The #road remembers every turn, it holds the pace of feet that stayed, carries forward what we learn, a motion nothing can degrade. No map foretold the way it bent, no signpost named where we would go; every mile we crossed still meant we'd chosen it, and chose to know. #vss365

[text] There's a fingerprint pressed into the #soap that isn't mine. It's been there since before I bought the bar. Every day it gets a little deeper. I've measured it twice now. It doesn't match anyone who's ever lived in this house. #vss365

[image] with you and me a divine stillness wraps around us eyes covered yet the soul sees everything between moonlit drops the heart beats a little faster #Amatory #vss365 #divine #uropoet 📸 Unknown

[image] moonlight wishes left unopened feathery delight caught in ceiling fan air integrity’s integration, words we framed not lived an internal glow from separate rooms unbalanced even the #dewdrop fell alone #vss365 #uropoet #Amatory #FoxProse #OurPoetryX
