James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Beware the eyes Rising slowly from the deep Too round for mortal thoughts Turned feral tasting rain Such delicate hands Draw you beneath Lips soft & sweet Take sips of you To hold to savor To recall at night Calling you on “Dive with me” They purr 📷Unknown @Amatoryq #Amatory 021
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 09/10/20262/2 Night drew to hold me Recalling your eyes My worst visions vanquished I drifted inside Here I’ll stay Here I’ll stay Tomorrow comes early Settle in by my side Tell me your secrets We need no more lies Love will abide Love will abide #OurPoetryX @ourpoetryx.bsky.social 021
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Morning came slowly Grey & raining Full of tears Left from my dreams How I loved you How I loved you Day waged its war Through sunshine & shower Sleepy eyes watching What no one could win No one could win 1/2 100

James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 07/10/2026We don’t talk about it Where it started… Likely no one knows I just sit & smile And slowly watch it grow We don’t talk about it But I knows it’s feel How it changed Across the years Deeper, longer One now of many We don’t talk about it That first wrinkle #OurPoetryX @ourpoetryx.bsky.social 043
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Soft pages turned Slowly, with gentle fingers Wary of brittle fibers breaking Faded ink settled into Yellowing pages Calls from the past Stretch out to be remembered Run your fingers Over rippled letters Warped by passing time Still clinging to meaning #OurPoetryX @ourpoetryx.bsky.social 032
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Losing years to time Beyond the stars Touches strings of sorrow In my heart that weeps Pain of flight remembered Bathes my soul with tears She has danced beyond my reach Lingering before me Last temptation for my need She smiles & drifts away 📷 Unknown @Amatoryq #Amatory 112

James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Travel the roadway Burning up miles Falling deeper into forest See colors grow richer Mile after mile Inside roots growing Spreading out with my smile Getting grounded in the best way So worth my while Thinking back over centuries Coursing time in my veins #OurPoetryX @ourpoetryx.bsky.social 052

James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Nothing parts the morning fog Thick concealment Of the world Best laid plans Opaque Beyond the measure seen Moving slowly Eyes roving round Afraid of the unknown Until stillness prevails Then calm bargains For attention Willingly given #OurPoetryX @ourpoetryx.bsky.social 022
James Mullen @narwhals9.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Step lightly through silence Avoiding the lonely words Escaping censure To be heard Each step is tricky We worry what will unfold If certain words are said Ears attune to peculiar sounds Some innocent at face value Our sanity slides through gaps Step true #OurPoetryX @ourpoetryx.bsky.social 021

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

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 67518
