Searching for my way back to words, yoga, poetry and languages
You can't use that as your cover-up
How foolish can you be?
Who told you to mix all the colours
Are you a peacock under a tree?
What happened to years of learning
And carefully chosen pallets?
Have you forgotten the gist of our art -
The black and white sumi-e craft?

Well, it was nice, after a difficult day, to come home from work last week and find that the poetry book I won had arrived. #poetry Thank you, Children’s Literature Festivals and @colinwest.bsky.social. Don’t Look in the Mirror, Maud has made me laugh for days.

no man
could hold her heart

so she tied it
to a string

and from a wound
in the sky

that black-lipped oyster
gifted her
a dark moon

her midnight lover

a tahitian pearl
now resting
in the hollow
of her neck

a raven's kiss

A lacuna between the words
A lacuna between the thoughts
A lacuna between you & me
Eternity turned into myth
A mirage that ceased to exist
What we had was a pointless tryst
And inside of each bottomless void
We exist in delusional worlds

Lacuna,Lacuna.Lacuna,
I’ve only just learned your name
You’ve filled a hole in my vocabulary
What an ironical start to the day

3:17 a.m., the lights flickered.
And in the breathless hush that followed, a #lacuna opened where the truth used to live.
Clocks kept ticking, but the seconds felt hollow, like something had slipped between them.
Not gone. Not broken. Just carefully removed, leaving behind a smiling void.

I was birding alone in a park,
When it suddenly got rather #dark;
Though the forecast was “clear,”
Rain & hail were now here.
This was NOT my idea of a lark.

without a warm voice
in my head

can't keep those
inner demons
from feasting

they know all my soft places
know just the right words

"uncomfortable"
"weird"
"pathetic"
"unwanted"

and they tear me to pieces
until there's nothing left

just a #lacuna

where i can store
my darkest thoughts

Dark shadows, dim light
Snow mercilessly keeps falling
While I yearn for spring

hello, dark
we’re here again
I hate when you’re
my only friend
your wicked tongue
laden with lies
I eat up
every one

In the dark night, shelter.
In the dark room, light.
In the bleak gleam, winter.
In your dark times, fight.

in your brief
sweet waters...
These dark hands of life"

In a sea of solitude
Moon aches for Earth's embrace
Always just out of reach

ice crashes down
from my sun-kissed heart
with a terrible sound;
the change in weather
only to last a day
before the frozen
#ache returns to stay
winter is far from over

I wanted to touch the sky
But I failed
Moon was mocking me from high above
I broke its reflection
But it couldn't last
So I stayed on my land & wet grass
Thinking that maybe it can be enough
To feel content just where you are

#vss365 #touch

When life consumes,
When hate taints the soul
When wicked words weigh heavy on bones
When spite scalds and blisters form
Walk with me to the edge of the world

Here take a breath…
Feel the soft touch of sand
Trace salt in the air
Let waves wash your wounds
…it’s time to repair

I want to cry
Don't #touch me now
I've heard & seen too much
You keep pushing things around
Thinking u are wise & kind
Your hypocrisy
it stinks
U are a wile & nasty minx
I want to clean my life from u
Washing you down in the loo
Will bring relief & clear my view
Tonight I'm bidding u adieu

Shhh!! Be Very Quiet... Early morning. Pablo The Pine Marten, looking sneaky behind a snowbank. Don't let the good looks fool you. He's known as nature's most adorable assassin. A true predator. Very handsome. 📸🇨🇦

Just realized I've been on this platform for almost a year and have never plugged my children's book, which came out 12 years ago today! 🎉 I never could've dreamed how many places it would take me or how many kids I'd get to connect with because of it! 🩵 #booksky #read
