A tongue that knows dances
thought to be lost to history
words depart soft lips
that vibrate through bellies
shaking away deposits
from calcified hearts
blooms grow within
constructing a garden
big enough to sustain all
grounded in #unearthly love
liberation from suffering
the human form

Glen nudged the plate toward Ian. The #brownie recipe he labored over for weeks awaited its final test.

Ian scraped a spoonful from the edge, almost missing the caramel drizzle adorning the top. He took a bite & paused.

“This simply misses the mark” he said before rushing off.

The clock is ticking
Can we stop the cycle?
Or are we doomed to die in it?

#vss365 #stop

The #vssdaily #prompt for 6/5/25 is #wolf

The winter tears at my heart
The cold stillness of it
Pockets of my life
When stagnation occurs
But then comes #spring
Life blooms and leaps
To spark a new birth
I renew my energy

I need both seasons
For awakening is as much
A part of me
As my slumber

Hazy grays
weigh down soles
Clouded mind
fails to find position
in lifes array

Belly laughter
electric strokes
#Spring me
back to life

She looked back one last time to see if he was anywhere on the horizon. Nothing but the soft whistling of the breeze filled the air. Her heart burst with longing for the life they’d dreamt up together. She took a deep breath in, filling her lungs to capacity.

Gazing up at the night sky
I’m reminded of you

#intimacy #vss365

intimacy is
not
about bare skin
but knowing
the depth
of my fears
soft pauses
between heartbeats
invisible
freckles and dimples
reading the
curvature
of the spine
flowers written
in her eyes

#vss365 #intimacy

sundays are for yearning, poetry
and self care rituals

Behind steel of #decorum
feeling disappears
love fades away
jousting is preferred
as the method
of exchange

Remove the armor
unsheath your sword
treat the wounds
that fester
return to
the lord

#vss365

Make love to life

The words flow so much better with pen and paper
