#randomwords #poetry So sudden Lingering lightening Struck me empty Until Full They gripped my heart Favored with skin and soul I was lost and unredeemed Or so it seemed So sudden Flickering night wings Dark flies But my own thoughts betray Shedding lust Dawn the cleanser All the while So sudden

#randomwords I publicate too much Setting neon signs ablaze Darling is hurting! But I self subjugate Long slow remorse For temptations of grief Replication of the death of my son Harbored safely In my black cove With no dove to release No love to uphold Regurgitate Ad nauseum

#randomwords These are not your words Not your heart Or soul Desperately taking hold It's the whip and splash of blood The wound, self explained This tether to all the inane Avoid it Privatize it But it's your prison Your yellow ambition A chance to start a new tossed on the fire of whim For them

#randomwords Desert Folly This time of fleeing Hope of desert wandering Cacti blossoms And brittle grey bones Sun leaching inside Outside salt dried skin I taste the heart dust Feet walking, wide arms Am I not my own Sego Lost desert lily Hot deep red stones Spirit ticking Breezed chroma Alone

I'm a sliver of a tall idea I've lacked the luster Joy Pain Happiness it's clear. I won't linger Just the last river ice of winter releasing, melting Leaving you all to decide Who is worthy Who's word should grace the tides' Ebbs, and flows I am nothing In unbidden repose #suddenwords #poem #poetry

No glass slipper for me No queen, prince, princess, or king Fairly sure no magic Fairy, fae, you don't want That's more my way Rescuer? it's a ruse Keep my own mouth shuttered All to keep the truth held Make it muttered It's my mud Clutter Save Save me All from this self dug gutter #randomwords

#vss365 #cHaoS Dangling like harried sharks in a lagoon Baboons dance chaos from the rocks and trees. I shelter you under these gossamer wings Black as the sin they create But it's fun baby While the war begins Blood rain and cackled screams Welcome to this jungle Frenzy Wild Then silent Just life

#vss365 #fruit Sly garden snake Give me the seduction Fruit of knowledge I'll trip the god Change the rules And feather in life Linking hearts over spirits Challenge the old But we'll kiss Hold all in delicious regard Bold then and now I thought of Eve Naked, walking Hand in hand And he was gone

#vss365 #temptation Joy, exaltations You, temptation Mining my lust from me All shadows and dancing But I am invisible Free, stipulations never mind All this rhyming is triggering The day before when I shook Waiting for words and spit A combination you can't ignore! I'll tempt you You'll feel it

#brake #vss365 This is my subterfuge of love To show all the branches Plied and crushed A heavy brake My tongue in anger Fear Scared like a child of you Lashing out to push Your innocence My crime Will the sorrow in me bleach away My bones and soul? To my heart astray This foul called Broken heart

#coast #vss365 The harlequin spun and danced Waves and seaweed gathered at their feet A jest of us, meeting on the coast Grease paint dirty, smeared I kissed you until the next breaking Twinkling eyes like painted diamonds You pulled me further in The great Sea Circus Crab claws and fins Wet again

#RandomWords Time The bold insolence of aging. Seeing and feeling it coming Feeding on our skin and bones Sucking our candied marrow hungrily Hear now? There! At your knees Smiles replaced with plastic porcelain Eyes all contracts and clouds Limp dicks & Fallen uterus's Tongues clicking Eyes close

#descend Finding you again Thought I'd lost that heart Triggered to descend with you Our red abyss Blood and lust Fire of our passions remiss You dodge me now Feathered responses "I'm fine. How are you?" My fingers tighten on the keys Wanting to unload all of me I feel my disgust Stalling #vss365

#summit "'Ascend' my friend May the summit of bliss be yours" Tranquil, he bit the pill Clouds of Magellan's tides opened Crimson, vermillion drafting upwards He ate his toast now and took another sip of coffee The window speckled with tine water diamonds glittering Yet getting high; dull #vss365

#suddenwords I gotta stop dying on the inside to lie about getting mine. Cheating myself thinking I'm protecting you. See you there, growing I know. Punching myself so I don't let go. But that calendar ain't lying. Times aren't mine for buying. Sugar that you used to be. Became my diabetes.

#suddenwords #poem #poetry Glory and mountains Capitals of gods now dead Harbingers of dawn and dusk I would climb there Stepping up through clouds Not to rock or pinnacle Beyond a false saintly heaven Just to spy To smile To find that joy again To seed a future And not the empty dark

@arwashington.bsky.social Hint and salutations Breaking words like bread Touching synapse and hearts But what dark wall do I have? Shambles and torches Reverie and prejudice All signs beyond stars My planet falls like the sky So I ask Am I? Alive on a path uncharted Thinking I don't know you Yet

#taphophilia #poetry #suddenwords Her white hands slipped over lichen covered headstones. Bewitched by tomes of death written in slate and marble. As she weaved through them you could here her songs become drones. Weary faced spirits lamented from their earthly cradles. She longed for angelic kin.

#defenestrate #vss365 Strategic moment Sitting on a sill dancing seen below Music unwilling to make the climb You strain for notes, to hear Rhythms seen but unheard You perplexed, Vaguely vexed Close one eye I defenestrate you Just a finger flick You fall askew Just a twist Sitting on a sill, still
