To know your kiss...
an atom-splitting instance

cyclonic inferno in a
fiery blitz of synapses

the kiss of ancients
lives spent and ever-present

presaged in near-waking dreams,
in the sorrowed sighs
of hushed whispers in the mind

Definitely the lighthouse keeper, but I'm not sure my madness could be accurately described as gentle.

internet became
the social media
hunting incognito;

exes rant
like Wikipedia leaks
stalk, troll, lurk
routine work.

no life’s as #deluxe
as shown here,
where rude gets cheers,
and none sincere.

left unforgiven,
prefer to live-in
no fucks ever given.

You, with your large account,
muting most, no doubt,
believe you must be allowed
to glue your vaunted comments
to our thoughts?

And when impeded
you Hereby Decree
your plan to block?
I fail to see the logic...

But do as you may,
for as they say:
Rejection

Have you checked

No, you think you are exempt,

likely commit no offense

a story of watching divides
undertone crow caws, muffled cries
say watch what flies
be spirit beyond any worry troubled world
what calls us through birds
their morning songs
their buzz flying low
sparrows in the morning light
diving between rain skim worms
insects still Autumn alive #vss365

a close up still life of sorts
a rusted pan, rainwater, an old penny, a hag stone
and other assorted rocks on weathered wood

♡ Silence ♡

broke down Silences
loud voices Shout
is there a way Out?

her stare cold,
a gaze almost lost,
a trance pulling you
unto the quiet~

you wonder...
did you have a chance?

a kiss of silence
placed on her forehead~

her heart, laughter & pain you want all of them
to be yours~
