There are places deep within your hollow being I see & feel but I do not disturb, for I know you dream instinctly of love as I do, the day we touched we became an inherent song written in each other's soul, no words needed for I cradle your heart wherever I go. #VerseAngel

When did I ever #sit quietly? Not even as a child, never as someone loved, for a pulse is heard through walls, across continents absence is a soliloquy between bare winter boughs I wait for blossoms to return & speak to me in the flesh, - an exchange of forgotten scent. #vss365

People change, trees lose their verdancy but the books, the intimacy of letters these go on forever for every season of pain, I'll show you one of magic that place where stars covet vulnerability time will turn, skies will fall but in your heart, I will stay ~ I promise. #poem

I listen with intent for a paradigm shift that never comes or maybe I've always been an outlier of this universe my matters too eclectic to be drawn towards a single constellation of thoughts in a plethora of broken stars, I drift observing how human love is taught. #vss365

To fall again into the stillness of a fading photograph where streetlamps guide the way along but never home relive the rains that fell lush in the spring of imagination we met here before in the renegade silence hands & hearts held in hope of one more breaking dawn. #vss365

It takes grace to fall silent to be inanimate, like a still life with so many things left to say, the vase of lilacs on my window sill catches sunlight teaching me to sketch expressions of moments together to hold you differently, on days that words can't find a way. #poetry

Who's going to drive you home when the city leaves you with unfinished dreams the scent of his cologne on your dress your soul flooded with a bottle of gin when day breaks along the West End I'll take the long route hoping to catch one more glimpse of him. #poem #londonVERSE

I rise with the morning star launched softly into a languid summer perfumed walks in sultry heat along boulevards of lilac jacaranda the present consuming me with sun the past fading in contrails of mist on this day each year I understand with clarity ~ what love is. #poetry

I'm ready for more but don't come for me unless you sound like summer, wrapped in wild roses and literature that never dies, I am feverish & too far from home, longing for a breath of sultry jazz & a Bloody Mary at ten am, - hungover from my so-called life. #vss365 #microprompt
