It’s been raining for days
And the sun seems to be unfazed
Behind the clouds, it retreats  
Savouring a sun-time, free

The evening brought a surprise
It rained with some sunshine
A magical moment revealed
The breeze playfully chimes

Droplets of rain glistened
Long and short, like beads
As the breeze played along
Trees danced to a new song

A momentary dance
rain and sun chose
Magical moments froze
Green leaves quivered
On every branch on trees
This happened yesterday, it was lovely, that’s the least I can say  :)

Don't the colors orange and yellow make you feel warm inside?
They make My heart smile
Feeling of butterflies fill my stomach
A fresh crisp scent of **** apples
Invade my nostrils
When I see orange and yellow
I close my eyes and its takes me to the Fall  

Beautiful orange and yellow leaves
Dancing in the wind
Im Bundled up with my new brown chestnut boots
My leg warmers cream to match my jacket
Walking downtown with my pumpkin latte
Strolling slowly
taking in the beauty
Breathing in the freshness of nature
The smell of recent rain in the air
Making my heart skip a beat

Getting home and biting into a warm chocolate chip cookie freshly baked
Warm and calming.
Its almost fall

See you soon orange and yellow.

"I don't love him anymore"
I say with conviction

So then why does it sting so much
When I hear about him with her
See his "I miss you" text to her

And remember

That that could've been me
I teach your name to the breath of words,
to the folds of dusk, to the quiet cups of morning
then I turn inward to who we are beneath the surface of silence.
no thread of certainty but rhythmic pulses I feel  
the horizon’s glow is fading
I craft love from the certainty of unspoken fears 
I etch poetry into the air to sooth my eyes from absence
Suddenly, the 502s were back
those unexpected disconnects
that make posting whack
and my nerves a wreck

Like blank spots in time
that made me backtrack
unable to use rhymes
I felt trapped and  highjacked

Did the server choke on a bone?
Was 5G stalling me, wordless and postponed?
Did the firewall collapse, did DNS lapse?
Was it my laptop, was it my phone?

People watched me, on the metro,
as I frowned and moaned at my useless iPhone.
The issues seemed flagrant, I was becoming impatient
Was I some kind of nut? I was showing emotion.
We don’t DO that in Paris - have public implosions.

Did it happen to you?
Or was I one of a few.
What were the chances
that it only happened to poets in France?

BLT Merriam Webster word of the day challenge 08/23/25:
flagrant = obvious, conspicuously bad—too bad to ignore.
How to see things when i can't even feel it
How do you feel when you're surrounded by the blood
How does that make you realise on things? How to even open your own eyes?
When the first thing every morning, you see them taking and stealing your rights
               your rights to live
                                    to breath
                                    to exist.

It's scary, it's deafening
Cause no matter how much tears and blood we're losing
They just... don't really care
They just... think it's another war
Another one that happened everywhere
                                                    anywhere in the world

It is sad. didn't say it's not
So what do we do now?
     how is it even possible?
     when things never changed
     where things were always stirred up
     maybe that's why we should never closed our eyes
open our eyes #FreePalestine

title is in allusion to bruno major - cold blood lyrics
When I write about you, and I will,
I will have had a bath, and a

drink.i will have soaked in warm
tub water. Scented.  My best

musk and a sigh for a cigarette
that years ago would have signaled
the best

experience i would have known.

When I form the words and images
Which now I press to my Self

Folded forever, used only once,

a delicate whisper

a Gloria

Sung for me through

you

With wine I now know will
Must my

Forever.

Yours

isn't it strange
how people have changed
but i don't know you to well
so i try not to swell
even when it's not well
delphinium migrant blue,
and into night
we follow,
toward the residue
of morning,
where there's no time
limit to grief.

you wake with
electric intervals,
something's wrong
with yesterday,
in your head are
galaxies like grains of salt,
and they fill up the sky.

these red metallic balloons,
that come to you
when you are ripped open,
whether it’s by pain
and heartache
or you’re falling in love,
these you can’t close
yourself off to.

but what you actually want
is to bypass them,
and try to reach that
dawn serenade,
which is floating
above them,
as if golden electric ribbons
which don’t
demand repayment.
The smoke dissolves in my lungs. A constellation  of bright stars forms in the depths of your eyes, weaving a language of orchestral, luminous memories—one that cannot fathom the endless possibilities of your devotion.

Maybe if I write these words and keep them inside my dismantled heart, love will come to find me. Maybe in a thousand abysses that grieve love, the heavens and the earth will entwine their fresh waters and frozen tears; faint sheets of light will envelop my already soul-weary skin and thus will seep in like a sun gently fleeting its warm light into the night sky, sojourning in the consoling darkness until dawn.

And if I tell you, that I have so much love to give, would you grow thorns and leave me in the cold, barren night like a stray dog, or would you come running across the ends of the earth—tiptoeing in bedazzling stars and soft sands, rushing into me?
I’ve been productive for the past few weeks, and I don’t understand why there’s still room for me to long for something that I can’t have just yet. I’ve been spending my time writing in my journal for all the times that I feel like I’m yearning for something more than love. Something more than comfort, and I hate to admit this, but I’ve become a prisoner of fantasy, I long for my own fairy tale. That my own heart chokes me.
