ROUGH MORNING

Every drop
of uninvited rain
falls into a flood

in which I fish
for sunshine.
Pebbles
become rogue planets
that pull me in

like the acid
that masticates my esophagus.
Better days
are hiding from the saliva

in glass and on paper

and I'm clawing
because sometimes
I don't have a choice.

Having a rough morning so I decided to write it out.

Two hundred thousand,
passing in the streets.
Faces drift by
as tears slip past my cheek.

Everyone there,
yet no one sees.

I can feel that for sure. I think the original intent behind the joke is made was more or less meaning a compliment. The piece has a delicate insight into that mindset or wearing a smile, wearing that persona of amicability as armor thats just stunning. Mad props.

the way in

walking here

it occurs

that the path

may not be

through the field

but through

the moment

that opens

and closes

without asking

a gate

made of air

the grass

still doing

its old work

of being

green

and not

remembering

how it got there

i step

and the world

steps with me

not forward

not back

only

further

in

Spring snows remember
dreams of flowers under frost,
budding bountiful
hope, the seed that defeats ice
when long winters reach their end.

Liberty

The gnome turned the dials
leftward then pushed forward
on the throttle, with no reply 
from the engine. Pissed
β€œHave you tried turning it off
and back on again?”

He asked the crowd 
that had rallied around
this, their broken machine
land, church, city, government 
entwined in a mechanical bird
thru called a home.

β€œThe elves would have you believe
that in order to have it airborne 
we'd have to give it a blow job
and pay them for the privilege 
or our own liberty, 
but I say nay! Not today!”

Just then a nymph from the crowd
raised her hand, β€œLet me try something”
She sauntered up, a swagger 
a step, and then THWACK!
She gave the engine at the back
of the bird a strong kick. 

Roaring to life
the gnome and the nymph
instant besties as they learned
that day that sometimes liberty 
Just needs a good 
kick in the ass.

The first of three gifts incoming for reaching 4,500 followers. I'm not sure it counts as a fantasy nonsense #poem as it wound up being more satirical and I couldn't title it well, but I hope it's fun. Enjoy πŸ€—

Where the Light Breaks is an abstract expressionist meditation on transitionβ€”the silent moment when darkness loosens its grip and the first fracture of light appears. Thick, textured strokes of deep indigo and black gather like a storm around the lower half of the composition, while molten tones of amber, ivory, and pale gold cascade downward from the sky.

At the center stands a solitary figure, small against the immense movement of color and texture. The figure is not triumphant, nor defeatedβ€”only present, caught in the act of moving forward. The surrounding paint appears to churn and erode like weathered stone or turbulent clouds, suggesting both destruction and renewal.

The painting explores the fragile threshold between weight and release, shadow and revelation. It invites the viewer to inhabit that uncertain space where hope is not yet certainβ€”but the light has begun to break through.

A lone figure stands at the edge of darkness as the sky fractures into light.
Not every ascent is triumphant,
sometimes it’s simply the courage to keep walking.
This piece explores the fragile moment between despair and illumination.

That is stunningly prescient and perfect. I saw way too much of myself in it. You sure you weren't looking at me thru my phone screen ? Lol, but in all seriousness it's good work. I look forward to your microfiction now when I see it criss my feed. Wicked stuff.

gray morning clouds, with wisps of pink

gray morning clouds, with wisps of pink

Winter, With Heart

another, gray morning

snug, in its cocoon
a coffee mug
warm, cupped between my hands

it's not a face,
not today.

and yet,
always,

the loudest thing
is the heart

it never
whispers
by accident.

An original artwork of dandelion clocks and yellow butterflies, created using acrylic paints on A3 board.

Without warning,
sorrow forms
a cataract -
life becoming
clouded in
a soft focus haze...
Time relapsing
in shimmering hues
and
hedgerows of memory
of long gone
halcyon days.

Escape 

A cocoon of winter’s fattening hangs heavy,  
swollen with the slow weight of days spent drowsing,  
silk stretched by the soft hoard of 
thick soups, thick jumpers, 
thick hours
spent curled like a comma in the dim.

Inside, lethargy pools 
warm as honey left too long by the fire.  
Limbs lie heavy, unhurried,  
dreams drift,
dust motes in a cloistered room. 
Nothing stirs but the faint, sluggish pulse  
of a creature who only remembers movement.

But the season begins to thin.  
Light slips in. 
First a blade, then a widening spill.
Its quiet insistence warming fibres  
until they soften, sag, surrender.

The shell, once a sanctuary of stillness,  
grows too tight for its own comfort.  
The fat of winter’s hibernation shifts,  
not melting but rearranging,  
becoming fuel instead of anchor.
A wing, creased as a forgotten receipt,  
tentatively unfurls.

The butterfly emerges awkwardly,  
carrying the memory of heaviness in its body,  
but lifting anyway. 
Each beat of its wings a refusal  
to stay pinned beneath winter’s slow hand.

"We Can't Keep Warm Alone".

This is the title of the wonderful drawing by the exceptional artist Jane Clatworphy.

The vivid rendering of her lines evokes a deep emotional sensitivity...her art style is deep and her technique astonishing..

Our beloved man can only be really warmed by our hearts...
