James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Kiss the stars Their spark the light That hastens me To join the night A waning moon Enlightens me To leap for joy With alacrity Take my hand For a fanciful dance You’ll never know A better chance To spin upon This spinning orb A world of joy Within absorbed #UnchainedSymphonies 011
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Each day I come back Tired, broken drained Each night I find The strength I need To face the morn again For I know beauty Stronger, stranger Than the fairest morning skies I know the gleam of brilliance waiting In her evening eyes #vss365 030
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Stand on the edge of reality Look into it If you dare Indescribable truths await To terrify you there A world on fire Lit by fools & fuels Fed by fabricated lies Skewed beyond all sense of right I’ll step back now Behind the light To lose myself In rhymes & night #OurPoetryX 021

James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Once more Through breaking clouds Gray & heavy with rain A light shone in To brighten my heart Forgotten storm Discarded cares All that mattered The sound of laughter shared Of roots well watered Swelling in their earth All shadows fled When souls are met & fed 000
Reposted by James MullenJoshua Walker @bigjosh84.bsky.social · 30/09/2026As a kid, I thought adults had everything figured out. Now I get excited when the store has my favorite bread, I have no idea what I’m doing half the time, and I’m pretty sure everyone else is winging it too. Here’s some poems. 💙💙💙 #poetry #blueskypoets #writingcommunity #BlueSkyPoetry #SkyPoet 66716
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Thoughts in flight On a stirring wind Dancing with leaves Tossed freely about It’s bite It’s chill touch Each joyful laugh Recorded In lines writ light With ease and motion Matching the rustle Of leaves and lives Come alive #OurPoetryX @ourpoetryx.bsky.social 033

James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Years grow long Leaves once fresh & green Are brittle, brown & falling free But for a week or two They glow in thanks For another year Blessed with rain & sunshine A rainbow of love To delight before The limbs are bare Skies grow gray And color fades away #OurPoetryX @ourpoetryx.bsky.social 161
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Silent promise In the space that night allows Consulting with my demons Remembering your heartbeat Racing in the summer sun This fall, I vow to dream a little more Daring to believe you’ll stay Wanting to find better days Under blinking stars And falling leaves #kaytpoemprompts 010
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Cushioned floors Under majestic pines Lined with fallen needles A cathedral for the soul All words land lightly Praise precipitates With a glance Welcome hands wield Power in soft touches As hours drift away And no one minds #FoxProse @FoxProse 020
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Hard looks in soft moments Hands calloused from the oar Follow currents tested before Eyes low with our hearts We each know the score Let’s try not to drift away, not again Into the mist, down the long reach Around on our wake, limp & sore As we’ve labored before #kaytpoemprompts 010

James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Feet stumble on the shore Eyes failing to follow Foggy paths Waves weave their sorrow Steady rhythm plays Heart breaks Without reason She’s drifted away Faint echoes of laughter All that remain Light shines through a mist Distorted & cold Calling her name #OurPoetryX @OurPoetryX 010
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Flow with feeling Follow its lead Deep into meaning Chasing the need Mischief in evolution Smelling the rose Coming together, coming undone Wherever she goes Thoughts fade to shadows Fall into this mess Taste the flavors becoming Among all the rest 📷 Unknown @Amatoryq #Amatory 000

James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 25/09/2026She likes his feel Hot breath on her neck Cold teeth testing her flesh Bringing her to her knees Cue the growl from all four More monsters, pretty please Lift howls into darkness Piercing the night Take your time, dear boy Get it right #kaytpoemprompts 120

James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 25/09/2026She infected my mind Driving me to madness Before calling me home Endless nights through the forest Trees dwarfing stone walls Abandoned to memory Knees weak & eyes heavy Ready to fall Propelled by hunger Feral & keen To taste her lips again #OurPoetryX @ourpoetryx.bsky.social #vss365 0124

James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I meant it to be A watershed moment One day in the sun One day in her arms It lit up my summer With radiant beams But Daedalus flies too high Wings unfit for this sky Hopes melt like my heart As she turns away Another dream for tomorrow Another lost way #OurPoetryX @ourpoetryx.bsky.social 151

James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Those silent seams Of fading summer Of autumn slipping in The faintest hint Of red-tinged leaves Appearing down the glen They call my soul To years gone by To days upon the road My mother pointing out to me Where deepest rainbows run Alight in fading sun #OurPoetryX @ourpoetryx.bsky.social 022

James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Years ago The last impression of her touch Faded away I carried that ache too long Working nightmares into song Only to find As time crept on Memories don’t last as long as you like #kaytpoemprompts 000

James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 18/09/2026If only… After night runs long She could be here To greet this dawn It doesn’t need words Just eyes & sighs An open palm On the small of her back With time to stand Breathing in cool air Recalling promises in the dark Imagining the day ahead Then diving back in bed 000
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 18/09/2026There is more to these kisses My attention in the night Than simply getting close Stealing pieces of you To hold & remember Through the day With your skin brushing mine Behind the moment There is passion for your mind Hear me Devour these words 📷 Unknown @Amatoryq #Amatory 011
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Go to a happy place To escape the hurt of the world Go to a dreamy place So you can remember hope Take me to your special place There we will become one We all have our own Take me there Make sure mine is wooded With waves laughing in the distance #OurPoetryX @ourpoetryx.bsky.social 022
