Persephone has left
for the Underworld,
along with
the wildflowers,
she so gracefully
gathers.

Though their absence
is brief,
they are destined, each,
to return,
once again,
in the Spring.

Is there a list of Canadian cities with an average visit total?
If so, I’ve visited:
Vancouver
Calgary
Toronto
Montreal
St. Catherines (though it might be too small to be considered a metropolitan area.)

I’m from the US. Been to all except Miami and Honolulu.
Each city provided wonderful memories, dining and night life. But overall, San Antonio, Seattle, New Orleans, and Nashville would be my top four.

.
wanton & unrestrained
we needed desire
to live and breathe...

hearts throbbing
in our ribcages
pleasure in our veins

our lustful dreams—
an entanglement
made of words

Is in full bloom
Brisk and crisp days
For embracing change

Residue of smoke
Carried gently by the wind
Our love, the ashes

The fire made her flesh
and bone.
She felt the singe of fear,
battled the mythical dragon
of self sacrifice.
The flames
became her salvation.

Use your pain to fuel your art.
Let it spark to your becoming.

My mother’s kitchen is spotless,
no mess peeking from drawers.

Mine spills over
with coffee mugs.
Lovers sit at my table,
leave crumbs.

I splatter them across the counter,
turn every memory
into a séance.

A woman lives here.
And shame has
no place at this table.

A #HarvestMoon pouring out a flood of light, silver plating defined edges, causing a misty bridal veil of earthbound fog to glow, and creating shadows far darker and tenebrous than any the sun can cast🌕🍂

After stellar performances the last two mornings, the moon was feeling shy today and hid behind a curtain of storm clouds… so the sun decided to steal the show in a costume of audacious colors 🌕☀️

she forges folds
into her paper heart
crafting crisp creases
with fingers aching
to crumple

of shades and shadows

Repeat the lesson.
Some killing, burning, rewind,
‘Cause we never learn.

Together in the shadows

Autumn artistry
Painting Aspens
Bright golden yellow

Next steps obscured
Lost in the mountains
Hazy horizon

Evergreens in the foreground framing tall hazy mountains

Poetry doesn’t rebuild the world.
But it reminds you what was lost.

some part of me waited
for the sky to open
as if revelation were a thing
that needed clearing

I’ve learned not to chase clarity
some truths are meant to blur
like moonlight through clouds
or the outline of your face
in a dream I wake too soon from

Were We watching,
where We were going,
when our Souls converged
into each other?
Or was Our connection,
a predicted collision,
foretold amongst Stars,
gazing down from the Heavens?

Surprised the Pedo POTUS hasn’t sent the Army Corps of Engineers to begin design plans for the trump-gaza resorts and casino.

Of stone and lime each joining,
yet matter bears no weight when spirit dwells within.
At the summit of sky and flight I find you,
not beyond, but in the rising of my own depth.

City of wind,
There the Great Spirit abides—
not as guest, but as air one breathes.

You just know the racist prick in the White House is going to demand a perp walk with handcuffs and rolling right-wing media cameras on hand.
