I cannot sleep tonight – the moon's too loud.
The midnight sky, deep as loneliness, is talking to me in an ancient language that sounds like grief.
I am an aching void again, desire itself – cutting darkness, breaking through time & space.
But never quite reaching your sun.
I need to find
some space
between the words
the sighs
the breaths
show me the way
to the secret place
where love abides
I searched for you
on the outskirts
of existence
but you have always been here
waiting for me
deep within
quietly knocking
on my door
#poem
#poetry
hold me gently
like the last
rays of sunset
whose soft radiance
tastes like the afterglow
of love
not much
is left of me
on these alleys
where
#shadows
forgot
how to dance
your hands are leaves
& your voice is water
& I'll catch your name
with my breath
#vss365
do you see me
behind these words
can you sense
the spirit of fire
the heat
of a thousand suns
that never belonged
to this world
but I'm there
right there
with you
in the flickering flame
of a
#candle
that quietly burns
on your desk
#vss365
#lust
devastating
like a desert wind
you promised me
a flight of delight
to lands of exquisite beauty
and I believed you
lured by the mirage
but you burned my wings
and threw me
into the lifeless sands
where no flowers bloom
#vss365
old prairie tree
beaten and bent
by years of storms
and seared with countless scars
with a silent moan
deeper and deeper
you dig your roots
into life
#vss365
Dear friends.
Due to health issues, I'm taking a break from Twitter. I'll be missing all of you and will be back as soon as things get better.
Wishing you all happy holidays. 💜
I know
I'm throwing words
into the void
but maybe
you'll hear me
this time
this
#connection
can never be repaired
but maybe
just maybe
the hearts
will humble themselves
to hear each other
and say
what's needed to be said
to end it well
#vss365
Your words are made
of morning breeze.
Gently,
they carry my thoughts
to evergreen meadows
where hope
never loses its wings.
Let me tiptoe
along the edge
of your existence –
noiselessly,
like a fleeting shadow –
& kiss your footprints
left on the path
full of thorns.
i want to lay my head
upon your chest
& listen to the heartbeat
of the universe
it tells me
how the galaxies are born
& how light travels
secretly within
lulled by your breath
i slowly close my eyes
& see a newborn star
inside my heart
#FlexVSS
If I were a house
I would leave my lights on
All night
So the weary stranger
Could find
His way in the dark
I'd recognize the quiet
Sound of his knock
Among a thousand sounds
In the world
Open my door
And whisper
Come in, I've been waiting for you
All my life
#FromOneLine
spring arrives
with a beautiful scent
of hope
& I'm glad
for surviving another winter
new day
although without you
is light & warm
no waiting
no
#anticipaiton
my sun is with me
I know that loving you
was no mistake
& no matter what
I'll always
wish you well
#vss365
I am not me
Without you
My words need yours
To make a story
No one else can fit into
This aching hole
In my heart
Because
It is in the shape
Of you
#vss365
Let her into
Your sky
She's the madness
Of sunflowers
Silently weeping at sunset
Words dancing impatiently
On the tip
Of her petals
Sad artist
Pick up
Your brushes
On the palette
Of dying summer
Mix your blue
With her yellow
Giving birth
To a harmony
Of evergreen
scattered on the wings
of midnight
my thoughts are stars
that have
#lost
their orbits
no bottom
to this sea of sorrow
no light
no warmth
no helping hand
only one name
can save me
from drowning
& I cry it out
from the depths of this darkness
that is called my soul
#vss365
forgive & forget
so simple & yet
so hard
broken things
are they like
broken wings
or?..
she doesn't know
(& he doesn't show)
what he's feeling
but
in days of old
(as we've been told)
they used to mend
things
instead of throwing them
away
scattered on the wings
of midnight
my thoughts are stars
that have lost their orbits
no bottom
to this sea of sorrow
no light
no warmth
no helping hand
only 1 name
can save me from drowning
& i cry it out
from the depths of this darkness
that is called my soul
#vss365
hold me gently
like the last
rays of sunset
whose soft radiance
tastes like the afterglow
of love
not much
is left of me
on these alleys
where shadows forgot
how to dance
your hands are leaves
& your voice is water
& i'll catch your name
with my breath
#FlexVSS
I'll make a necklace
Of fallen stars
Put them
Around my neck
Like dewdrops
Each a reminder
Of pits
On forbidden paths
I'll drink them slowly
One by one
Like the steps
Of a pilgrim
And their bitter taste
Will burn the mirage
Of a false sky
#poem
your words
light as breath
I wish I could hold them longer
the deep & rich notes
of your voice
washing over me
again & again
the call of a
#distant
ocean
so close
yet so far away
with a trembling hand
I press the seashell
closer to my ear
so I can hear
your soul
#vss365
A thought is just a thought. No matter how loudly it's banging on your door.
Until you open it.
You think it's a guest. A stranger that's come for shelter. But as soon as you let it in, it takes over & becomes the host in your home.
Keep your doors shut.
Guard your heart.
i knew there was hope
when i saw a rainbow
after a downpour of tears
bright
upon the wall of an old church
it spoke of a new life
and a blind saint
looking right into my soul
nodded to me as if saying
you will be fine, child
#FlexVSS
The fragility
Of peace
Once again I hear your voice
Speaking to me
In unfinished phrases
The gentle whispers
Of the trees
And the slow
Dance of shadows
On the grass
I lose myself
In birdsong
And it returns to me
The forgotten pieces
Of my soul
#poem
in the dark
of a winter morning
you walk like silence
tall figure
dressed in black
beads on a thin wrist
light step
& life measured in sighs
between prayers
before i'm left
w/the scars of your footprints
on pristine white
tell me
how many miles
till we reach the sun
lust
devastating
like a desert wind
you promised me
a flight of delight
to lands of exquisite beauty
& i believed you
lured by the mirage
but you burned my wings
& threw me
into these lifeless sands
where no flowers bloom
#FlexVSS
I lie on my belly
Rivers of life
Flowing through me
Gentle currents
Of peace
Soothing energy
Washing away
My sorrow
Someone has prayed for me
Thank you
My unknown
Friend
#poem
I'll make a necklace
of fallen stars
put them around my neck
like dewdrops
each a reminder of pits
on forbidden paths
I'll drink them slowly
one by one
like the steps of a pilgrim
& their bitter taste
will burn the mirage
of a false sky
blanketed
by the cloak of the night
the world is asleep
and I sense
the foul breath
of the coming imposter
killed love
& broken friendships
on his way
poisoned plants
in gardens of kindness
& dust on the ruins of trust
that I long to rebuild
but I've run out of tears
#vss365
He found the words
That unlocked her
Now he's in
Her inner rooms
Each corner lit by the soft
But steady light
Of his torch
She longs to hold
The whole of him
Capture him
Between her heartbeats
And wash
His tired soul
With her tears
#poem
i'll write you a letter &
burn it
word after
word after
word
releasing my pain
removing
all those
inky clouds between us
that used to shadow my path
untangling my feelings
setting them
free
with my heart still
waiting
here
within a word's reach
from yours
in the
#prison
of silence
she writes letters
& throws them
through the bars
of her own
mistakes
still hoping
not for an answer
but for understanding
& peace
though her weeds
grew taller than roses
she never
meant any harm
late sorrys
bloom in her garden
