Minuscule

you would have been 96 today  had you lived, had covid not gotten you alone in a hospital bed  back in the beginning when  no would could be with you when you passed

for some people, their grandfathers are just old, creepy people who are annoying to visit and have to hug
to some, they’re a minuscule part of life
 but for a time, you were my world
you were my only safe man and maybe you’ll always be my only safe man and I sure do miss you even  after all this time

isn’t six years a long time?

crumbling into your arms

this whole world
could be falling to pieces
could literally be crumbling
under our feet
and i would still think
of nothing but you
and the way it feels
when i wake up
and roll right into your arms
so you can hold me

nothing else on earth
can soothe me like you do when
you wrap your loving arms
around me and
when i’m not looking
you put the heart back
that you ripped out of my chest
like i never felt it
in the first place

when only your arms
will soothe me
when only your hands
will hold me
when only your lips
will kiss mine
i am yours

and no one can
take you from me
because i
am holding on tight
and will never
ever
let go

Does anyone else at this point think we're just going to NOT have elections in 2028?

Here's a little #vss365 #poem and the word of the day was #quiver

i feel like a rather strong woman
yet i still quiver at your touches,
i still feel like i need them every day
to feel safe and loved by you

maybe, now, this isn’t a good thing,
maybe you’re tired of how much
i want to hold you and be held
and you’d rather i didn’t so much

but that’s like asking me to
breathe less air or make my
heart beat less beats in a day,
it’s not something i can control,
my wanting you so much

until, i suppose, you make me
feel unwanted and then
hands off, and we’re off-
i can’t live that way

Here's my latest #vss365 #poem, and the prompt today was #wane

#poetry #poetryonbsky #poems #lovepoems

unlike other things in life
my love for you will never wane

there will never come a time
when I’m not in the mood to hold you
and when you need me,
i will always be right here
to stand with you and for you

you may be the moon
who’s pulled my tides toward you
like the magic we need to sustain us
but you’re also my star
the brightest thing in my life
that I look up to and count on

keep shining, you sweetest pea,
i’ll love you until
all the stars burn out

I forget that to get people to pay attention to you, you actually have to keep posting things on social media and remind them that you exist and you're doing things.

we were both on different paths
when we met and veered off track
and you never would do this now
knowing what you know

if you knew then where we’d be today
you wouldn’t be here anymore
you would have been stronger
and you would have saved yourself

instead you feel the need
to save everyone else but you,
you always put yourself dead last
in any situation or circumstance
and frankly, it’s hard to watch

it makes me feel so sad
that you’re robbing yourself of joy

It's another #vss365 very short story and one that got dark real quick.

Please note - It was a long long time ago.

#poem #poetry #poetryofbsky #poetsofbsky

that night
when we were drinking
on your front stoop
and getting up to
other things we shouldn’t have

that was the closest i ever came
to taking my own life

i don’t know what made me
shut the car door and not jump out
onto the highway and
in front of the truck
but if i had to guess
it was the truck driver
who ultimately saved my life

i’m burden enough to those who
make the mistake to love me

Look at this perfect cat, Piper. There would be no reason to try to remember (see what I did there?) to post #apiperaday or #dailypiper which is actually better cause I’ll catch all the people searching for “daily paper” 👍

I want you
in the quiet way
hunger waits.
Desire pools
in my chest,
steady & patient.
You move through
my thoughts like
heat through stone.
Every choice
narrows until
you're the
sole direction.
I feel myself
leaning toward you
without permission.
Even restraint
knows your name.

My daughter was my Secret Santa and got me all the things I wanted most.

A new set of sheets is in the dryer and I can't wait to put them on the bed!

Wow, I'm old as fuck.

The thing I love about #bluesky is coming here and seeing nothing negative in my feed.

Nothing.

It's all gays and rainbows and kittens and #poetry going on over here and I love it, I'm here for it!
