Night has come and the darkness has enveloped us. Think not of fear, but love. The night comforts us by slowing us down, relaxing us, so that we may lay down and rest our bodies, lest we burn up too soon, like fire that burns too bright. Allow yourself to sluff off the stress of the day. Sleep well.

He stands under the sky It seems like it'll come crumbling down at any moment The great bell tolls Calling him home Back to the start But this time it's the end #poem #poetry

Goodnight, friends. Tonight, I pray that the night carries you to the dreamland on gossamer wings that caress you and ease you to sleep. Let the night watch over you as your stress drains away, and you dream wonderful dreams of place you love, people you love, and activities you love. Sleep well.

beneath high cloud as the mid-summer evening settles I swim from the boat ramp toward the cut between moored yachts turning slowly on the switching tide breathing to one side glimpsing the shore I am thinking of surrender of solitude of letting be of letting go #poetry #4yearsof #daily #booksky

What troubles you? Sit down talk it out. I'll be here beside you. Speak your mind. Spill your heart. I'll just smile. Because it'll be okay. #poem #poetry

She stands between the earth and air, A tempest held within her stare. The universe, it pauses there, To find its home in her fierce care. #poetry #poem #art

Mist hangs on waves 'till they crash into the shore A blue so deep that it belies the mere human eye Vastly stretching out to the horizon forever more Beckoning me to leave the land and say forever goodbye #Photography #Poetry #Art #Pacific

‘Pulse’ My tendons tear, hand falls down, toppled senses chasing red. Retreat—autumn arteries, up left-hand sleeves, three ribs down, a beat. I feel it, royal purple fills your lungs—winter berries. The world distills to fruit at a branch’s end. Five fingers, ten, a circle. #photography #poetry

Vectored into iron and bone An entrail loneliness Your heart a crimsoned inland sea. I've spent a lifetime provoking  the universe to scourge me  and drive spikes into my limbs. And yet Some thorned happiness awaits. #poem #POEMS #poetry

A poem about immigration. My submission for #poemsabout #fromtheashes @brokenspinearts.bsky.social @alanparry83.bsky.social #poetsofbluesky #poetry #vss365 - cloak
Wednesday Morning
A poem about immigration.

Tired eyes brace at morning light
Then at screen light. 
First sight tense pupils absorb is
A man who deems my family “vermin”

Won.

I could have basked in honeyed ignorance
Just a moment longer.
Before rooting around for news
That makes me forget how to breathe.

Anyway, I have to go to work.
  At times I can almost steady myself.
A shield of gold is all I have for my family.
  Yet my bones shake, they will for a long time.

Mom calls.
Cheer almost cloaks her terror. I do the same.
Til her voice cracks.
She shoves it down again, way down, with chatter.

“Weather’s getting cold!”
“How’s work?”
“How’s your dog?”
And at the end,

“You should call a lawyer”
“Yeah.”
Likely in vain against what’s coming. 
Better than nothing.


Petitions lay unseen.  For decades.

So that.  Years from now.  A stranger

Can at last stamp my family.

“Not Vermin”.


Come January I always check the news
To know how laws are changing, how to brace for it.
And every morning,
Is a Wednesday morning.

happy friday! please be kind to yourself🫂 #poetry #photography #poetsky #blueskypoetry
A black and white photo of a tissue. The poem reads: wrap your warmest arm around that pejorative inner voice you know the one mouthing the catechism of personal deceits soothe it until it sighs and goes back to sleep gomp_art

When you next visit leave your skin at the door with your dirty shoes. Let's be truly naked, raw and wet, red and sweet as Cabernet. When we embrace I want to feel muscles, veins, and tendons thrumming the song of the butcher's blessing in a singing bowl. Otherwise just text me. #Poetry

The tide has rolled back The covers are on the bed Just reach out and touch me Whisper something softly And say my name I'll be sure to hold you dear A tender look in my eyes Just whisper softly And say my name #poem #poetry
