in the corner of the picture you can't see I'm crying face burning like a bridge hiding behind abstract art &arms full of books heart so full of grief&love with nowhere to go it runs from my eyes a river carves a valley out of my chest erodes a home into the emptiness you left #poem #poetry #love

I am ship wrecked on the bottom of the life I thought I'd live my timbers shiver creak like old bones when the current comes in no windows close against the draft they shattered in the waves that sank me corals grow through my port side I bow to barnacles who say they always knew I would come #poem

Hindsight rides shotgun banishes my tendency to fall for unmet potential to the backseat saving me from their short sighted reach pulling rose coloured wool over my eyes every time a soft heart with tattoos who can't swim past the shallow end wanders into frame she's a loving bitch like that #poem

What do I want Not much Just everything Love that chooses me when chips are down or up or potatoes Belonging a forever home even if home is a metaphor for a friend's heart no shelter but solace some comfort not so small No one ever gets out alive So I'm doing my damndest to live #poetry #live #poem

It took astronauts a goddess moon crater naming love to show me feeling small can be a beautiful thing testament to how tangled together we are revelation like David's perfect chord so full of awe it soothes the parts of me that shrank for you stars look small &break darkness with their light #poem

I will hide your shadow in the shape of words I haven't found yet maybe a glib cliché or pretty paradox tripping off my tongue still more tender than I'd like to admit but lighter than the way I loved you easier to carry #poetry #newpoem #amwriting #poem #writingcommunity #movingon #lovelanguage

Broken shards of history hide in gardens of people no one remembers anymore... #poem #poetry #hiddenstories #freeverse #writingcommunity

Broken shards of history
hide in gardens of people
no one remembers anymore
I run a tentative finger along
soil softened
once sharp edge
what distracted the Roman
to burn their dinner so badly
they buried it pot and all
Did joy sweep in unexpectedly
hands overflowing with wonder
begging to be held?
Did love come dressed in grief
so harsh, so heavy
even to glimpse that burnt shell of what was
that shade of what could not be saved
was a wound they could not bear
only bury?
When their fingers tore at the earth
were the digging a grave for hope?
Or planting a seed
and laughing all the while?

-L.S.

I would've given anything sacrificed everything knew love a giving up for getting to have held too tight that fleeting bud one eye over my shoulder waiting for #love to realize I wasn't good enough to keep it Was love good enough to keep me? I would've given anything I know better now #poem #poetry

Don't you know, my love? Art is how we find ourselves. And save each other. (Full poem in the alt text) #poem #art #creativity #poetry #dare

Don't you know, my love?

We're all just saving each other
with our silly little crafts and words woven into poems, songs, prayers,
possibilities and impossibilites
sculpted from our souls &
traveling the globe at the speed of connection cobbled together by cables sunk to the bottom of the ocean
(and sometimes nibbled by sharks).

How strange, how sacred
to be strangers all tangled up in life together, finding ourselves and saving each other
with our wild, weird little artistries
and the magic we make
when we dare to share them.

~ L.S.

Tits out in the kitchen isn't where I thought I'd find myself but there are worse ways to start over than unbridled by convention or the clothes of who you thought you should be I choose naked & nourished in delightfully unexpected ways over playing placeholder waiting for life to find me #poem
