crumpled picture of you,
a black and white truth
torn at the corner.

its smile seems to tremble,
on the verge of vanishing
a longing, i can't #resist

but the regret of losing them,
now grows teeth like a
#piranha, waiting to strike.

one #haunted #lumen
all that’s left of us in the dark.

Your light is infinite,
my eyes savour the #taste
like hungry #piranha,
no measure of #lumen
to #caculate your shine

your body's #function,
to trap a glowing spirit
that cannot be tamed

some day you'll shed
that earthly suit
to gleam eternally
among the stars
with me.

Stop 7

Meet me on the hill, at the sanctuary.
The city below, spread out like cloth,
we will fold it around the sky-sent words
our lumen babbles out sometimes.

Lumen immeasurable,

My vote would go to C, and let’s place Mizz’s to A, so technically it is:
=> 4 votes for B @arwashington.bsky.social
=> 3 votes for A @jennnne.bsky.social
=> 2 votes for C @poetickunal.bsky.social

Let’s see if anything changes by tomorrow 😃🤗🦋

a momentary
pleasure
when all of a sudden
the sky bends low.

#sublime
it hits
and I forget my name
for all I know.

they are blessed beings
showered
by her quiet
and elusive gaze.

#clamor outside,
quiet within.
#raincoat tight.
she walks on.

#knee aches,
will holds firm.
She #unearths strength.
she walks on.

night hunters fades,
#giddiness blooms.
the storm ends.
she walks on.

The Visitor
The head stood in a tight #raincoat, scouting the students before her gaze landed on Antoni. She took the mic. «Students. Today we will #welcome an important #visitor. You are to take to your #knee and show respect. I will see no #giddiness today.» ms. Hall said, looking out over the morning assembly

«That means,» she continued, «you will not #unearth ungodly things, no #music, and for goodness sake: not another #opium #pageant like last year. This investor will determine if we exist at all next semester, so do behave!»

In the back, Antoni looked slyly at Chase: «This is going to be epic!»
«Yeah, it’ll be #sublime» Chase replied. Their scheming had begun…

That #thing
that I'm seeking?
Ah yes, motivation

while it pours,
#sublime ly
upon me,
I let it drip
from my #raincoat
of procrastination,
eking into the soil
beneath my feet

later I'll #unearth it,
bringing it back
to the #top

but for now
let me just put
my umbrella up

I’ve exchanged
the wretched
for the #sublime,
the grimy
for divine,
the pain
for sunshine;

I’m bartering
what’s left
of my soul
for a chance,
one
last
chance
at a life well led

#blueskyrelay #sublime
It's a wonderful thing
Sitting here
In the dark
Changing thoughts into words
Send them out and forget them
Others (maybe) read them
Then change them again
Not back exactly to what they were
But something similar
Taking water into wine
Taking water into ice
Then a vapor sublime

It is time for some
Sublime rhyme, primed for the crime
Of mould, slime, and grime.

Stop 34

Meet me at the point of the porch,
Furthest from the street. It pours.
It’ll be sublime in that small shrine, slowly
Peeling mandarins and roasted chestnuts.
