I told my last lie
When you blew whistling truth
Through your lying eyes

I kneel in the silence of regret
wings heavy with lessons
each fall a shadow of growth
each wound a whisper of becoming
I rise not through light
but through the weight of knowing
like a child of dusk
learning to walk toward dawn

I flow from soul often skipping beats outside. I don't want my poetry so puzzling that I lose connection. I tend to write with multiple meanings. I am open to feedback to help my writing be more understood. No-thing shan't be too sacred, even for a poet.

So appreciate bluesky. It's become my safe haven and poetry outlet. There are so many amazing poets, artists, and photographers here. Endless gems! I'm inspired to create more in the new year! Thank you.

Snow has a way of slowing us down for reflection, as does a new year.
Happy newest year of all!
Keep it simple, keep it kind.

My surrogate stands bodyguard
Her quick vigilance slays
The seen and unseen
Into safe compartments
So I can keep believing
Keep tilling the hard parts
Into rich valuables to
Offer back to the

Oh to be wisp-ed
Would be breeze's delight
To join in winds ivory aether
Where netherland protocols
Join in untouched wings
Bing tight blush berries
Ginger grabs for travel
Wisked warm south
Led by ultramarine
Waving blue
Oh to be wisp-ed
Would be breeze's delight
To join in winds ivory aether
Where netherland protocols
Join in untouched wings
Bing tight blush berries
Ginger grabs for travel
Wisked warm south
Led by ultramarine
Waving blue

While on a misty afternoon walk, I came around a corner as a multicolored torch began to fire out of the clouds! Shooting in a piercing arch across the horizon to its full-blown majesty. I stood there like a child with tears streaming down my face.

The Bear Lives in the Suburbs Now
he walks the cul-de-sac
after midnight
past sprinklers and backlit TVs
he remembers glaciers
but eats from compost bins
and sometimes
dances shirtless at the club
a kid once called him
the ancestor
he nodded
