I tried not to think of you.. then the sun touched my face…
#TankaThursday 24 July 2025 skipping rope of fate swing by swing we jump & jump learning only now we are one genetic race breath of human consciousness
my favorite town has a wide main street that leads to the ocean shops with pink awnings and bicycle racks and grand old houses for bed and breakfast a quiet boardwalk with benches for contemplation and horizon viewing and of course the roar of the ocean…
There is a place in my heart where the ships come in the sailors return home Duffle bag flung over left shoulder And extinguish one last cigarette Before they pas through the sheltering Doorway and kiss their sleeping children A place in the fog Where nothing happens and We wait
All the things she never said tender words witheld & love fell over the edge of the world a heart burdened with regret cannot mend when it's too late to make amends heaving clouds burst weeping torrents onto far away hills where he pines blind to the #tears she cries #vss365
head hanging down a loud black bird draws my gaze upward deep blue sky
Hard to fathom a migration from Thunder Bay to Acapulco but the Monarch does it each Fall its orange and black majesty wings spread for all to see even a boy in his grandmother's backyard, trying to capture one in a bottle missing it again and again and secretly pleased

- she never cried, just moved the couch at midnight wrote lists in pen, let the chicken blacken in the oven. she said nothing while the dog shredded her wedding shoes tears, it turns out, have many forms. - #vss365
After shock after After shock magic Hit my lips a #violet hue My veins sparking to life Such was the passion Of the kiss burning crimson Thus I was created a monster Thirsty only for such kisses Without I cannot survive My eyes flash forever violent Violet #vss365
#vss365 #FoxProse @FoxProse #loveletters 💌 To his dismay, 'twas the watcher's discovery, that ocean's pool #tears under a moonlit sky, for he is the tides that wash in with the sorrowful waves. He dandelions one wish to be the flames in the night to passion her and explore her…
Our own home / planet / Earth heaves at the harmful wastes dumped in oceans & on land, for water levels rise once more of #tears from Nature's cries; the world would soon drown in filth left by human footprint. #vss365 #poetry
you never see the tears i cry, you never notice the hurt i feel inside, but, you should know, so i hide my pain away smile & pretend for another day, my forlorn feelings cloaked in umbra hidden from view, when all i've ever wanted was affection & comfort from you. #vss365 #tear
a violet grows through a crack in a stone wall bloom against the odds #vss365 #violet #Haiku #Naturephotography
never meant to be truly seen thrived as a secret a half-built dream and still remains kissing beneath the breathing sky held by a love that refuses to die defeated by our own ego and pride we stood at the edge of might we almost right, oh dearest... almost... right...
the tornado dropped while we watched and the new girl went inside. afterwards it was freezing cold and i had taken too many pills that froze my mouth closed into a rictus. #Excerpt
looking into your eyes like you're the inventor of love
The window reveals a violescent paradise— where you & I are lovers, whole&together. But here, beneath separate skies, we wrestle with fate, carrying a #violet ache just beneath the skin. Love was never meant to be fulfilled, it’s most beautiful unfinished. #vss365 #FoxProse
no one warned me that missing you would feel this tender like you were written in the margins of my being long before I could read sometimes I wonder perhaps God was smiling when He made you
