Flame of Firedrake

To be
Always part of me

Him

That look
That wanted touch
The need of his words
Upon my senses

My desire to know
His heartbeat
His skin
Touching my skin

Shrouded
In that moment
Our souls silent

Where
In the fire's warmth
Our shadows
Elongate

Fragments of eternity
that’s what we say we are
A new morning comes
without asking
The dark breaks
A few stars remain
tiny coals in the sky
The sun rises
Briefly
the world seems #magnanimous
Then the day returns
to its simple necessities
And we remember
less than we think

So welcome, my dear friend ✨ 🧡🫶🔆

You're so welcome, more than I can say ✨ 🫶 🧡

..you have to lose to win.. this i‘m certain of.. or at least risk losing something(s).. to win a little.. because wherever you’re at is a “safe” place.. even if it doesn’t feel it.. unless you already took the leap into 'an uncomfortable way'.. and if it feels hard.. it's usually right..

🩶🎸

..i think 'how do i want to be remembered?'
is something we should ask daily..
every letter written matters:
it's 'scared' or 'sacred'
every snub instead of love.. says a lot..
actually i think 'how we will be remembered'..
'is'.. who we are today..
we all likely can do better..

between your lips, silence sings
i kiss your name into my poem
your words on my bones

Red moon melodies move
through my open room,
like spirits learning
how to breathe
my skin

I write to you and leave
myself behind
outside your door

#RedMoonOnMySkin
#WhereInkBecomesMyHeat

my letters keep your name
the shape of us in silence
i turn to fire when i look at you

There is a dawn hiding
under this heavy sky
& I whisper it back into
my rain wet skin

I turn to fire when I look at you,
a quiet blaze moving through
my tired breath

#YourNameAgainstMyThroat
#MyLungsRememberYou

*
every silence becomes you
no keys between your breath and
mine
where your lips return to my lines

Every silence turns into you
whenever your distant gaze
returns to me

You move through my thoughts
like a quiet song rising from
the heart without a sound

#TheTrembleInMyPoetry

Oh my dear friend, this is sublimely beautiful ❤️ 🥀 ❤️ ✨

*
and still I wake as stars fall,
carrying
your breath, and wrapped
in the quiet of you

I had never seen within
the light a shadow
so quietly beautiful.

Night keeps me wakeful,
thinking only of you,
a slow longing wandering
through the stars

A spiral of blue water forming a circular tunnel.

A breath.
A breath rolled into a blink.
A blink touched into a sigh.
A sigh fleeted into a dizzying brush.
Such are the timid turns of life
beautiful.
incomplete.
gnawing.
splendor flush with #splendor.
pause me, love
when your mind becomes a heron
pulled beneath the salt
but hold me,
still

What a beautiful moment captured in verse and photo, dear Peter - beautifully done 🔆🧡🫶

Leisurely measured
steady flows
Life's rocked extremities
Long stretches saline magnifying levels
Leaving exposed barnicle's
Oyster catchers' delicatessens
As submerged seaweed waves
As surface dwellers look for treasures

Pacific Ocean's Trails
🌊💙🌏🌿🌎💚🌿

Clinging to rocky life's
Drying pooled exposures
Tidelines barnicle's carved creations
Naked cat's eyes sanded images
Where artists record waves portraits

Pacific Ocean's Trails
🌊💙🌏😽🌎💚🌿

She first thought they were
Insignificant baubles
But now the weight of
His Grandmother‘s jewellery
Felt so, so heavy.

The origin of being does not yield itself to the voice that proclaims it.

Within it, minds arise and begin weaving meanings…
Stars ignite and collapse into silence,
the ancient question of why there is anything at all continues to echo.

What dissolves when it notices it cannot stand outside it.
