in the soft breath of day break
this, achievable

time becomes muddied
in half existence
#actions to be taken
while hard connections
break, broke, broken
nothing #specific
justa dream

burnt umber flying
floating, drifting, a slow fall
opining options

do the stars
still glitter
like fire
hot in your eyes
is your breath
still flamed in
the sparks
of fiery words
or
has dawn crept in
dimming the blaze
harsh lights of #reality
starkly engrained
inflicting pain
across the changing
topographies
of your heart

dark clouds, stacked mountains
such heaviness in this gray
still, waiting for rain

the fragility
issued by our
humanity
unwrapped of
youthful naivety
the truth of age
exposed
losing sight of
old goals

this discomfort crawled in
finding holes
where my joy
shoulda been

pronounced purpled veins
surface
the shine of summer
becoming plumb
a lost purpose

the freeze of winter
promising numb
little brown birds
still chasing
crumbs

moon plunging
night song sung
humbled
my heart
hung

the science of
your blackened sky
the numbers you spit
hard, in my eyes
pain continues
the sun still rises
still trying life on
for sizes

it's not science
how i feel
curled soft
safe
oh such hidden grace
or curled in
to hide from fear
praying with might
for ends
to near

hard measures
softened by staccato
heart beats
spaces of time, in a larger
piece, melody unbroken
over pauses
whole rests
this crescendo
but a steady lead
to the finale
coda

i lay restlessly
beside life
oh to sway in the breeze
free to be
heart full of joy
yet hurts overflows
i don't even know
how to be
me, or who i am
nonperson
living for others
built in long term guilt
shame from before
i even was grown
i disappeared
a vanishing
from the start

morning rituals
feline reverberations
tuning in the day

i stumble through
this life
i've lost my light
&perhaps the fight
life becomes darker
hills not worth climbing
in this dingy realm
of disappointment
where this reign of hate
& lies prevail
my heart fails

my susurrus
soft, tender
reassuring
across your ear
a gentle breeze
soothing your
fears
but who soothes
the wind
that always bends
caressing others
yet always seems left
loose ended

even as i close
eyes, heart so
heavy
a wish of
goodbye
of letting go
of melting into snow
not this continuous icing
crusted into peaks
crushing me, endangering
my tiny
spark of life
i feel the burn
primordial drive
to survive

shedding sorrows
tears fall
warm
as summer rain

wash me clean
empty my cup
fill me back up

#vss365 #shed
June 13, 2025 at 7:57 PM
my decomposing cosmos
shedding digressions
leaving a mess
closing mindless shutters
locking ludicrous doors
base my landing
on true success
cause
spells cast at midnight
never last

and there you are
true colors always flare
scraping my soul
with every word
my lesson of inadequacy
not yet complete
a continuous shaping
of me

ur words sutures
to my gaping wounds
loving applied
w/o exception
or expectations
i still bleed
but ur administrations
kept me alive
as i bled out
myself
new growth begins
under soft #skin
new ways to live
to love to give
i still keep u
within my ribs
now a part
of this caged
heart

it started slowly
small divisions
creating crevices
becoming caverns
now I look across the abyss
& wonder how
we arrived here
a precipice
the brink of destruction

we become
overfit with
societal norms
engraining us
with single mindedness
always trying to fit
in a box that doesn't exist

no longer
a speaker of my truths
i live through days
quiet
still someone
but not who
i once knew
