You seek harbour, just like a ghost of yourself that imagined being some place to breathe - even if you couldn't do that all the way anymore, like the people on their hundred vacation, or in simple uniform mid-tier fealty, seem to do.
#harbour #vss365

there she was
the gilded sunset girl
lost amid daydreams
of her hearts poetry,
painting a canvas of hope
of his beautiful embrace
her harbour of happiness
her sanctuary of dreams,
creating an oasis of colour
transforming her melancholic soul
into a haven of his love.

Old #Harbour let go of her anger one day,
She shuttered the docks to the storm and the fray,
Where grudges had stood,
She planted the good,
Now warmth fills the quay where cold was at bay.

You, I whispered, are my harbour.

And before we knew it, we had a home in each other.

No matter where we ventured

“Gravity’s not an element,” I scoffed.

The Priestess smiled at me. “Such silly thoughts you #harbour about the universe. No wonder you flew so high.”

“That wasn’t normal?”

“Most pilgrims cleanse themselves on the path and only float to the top row. They land up there & simply walk back.”

Now that I’m Kraken’s
Siren lure
For me
There’s no safe #harbour

The Sirens
He has caught with me,
Like me,
He treats with ardour

To the Kraken
We’re collectibles…
He keeps us
On a shelf

Storing me
With angry Sirens, tho
Ain’t been
Good for my health 😬

The coast stretched northwards
Shoaled and stippled
With light of sandbanks
A dour landline
Graceless and low

Where it shrank back
Scowling under cloud
Prow nosed inward
Mudflats lifted
White birds shrieking

Water's outwash
Beckoned inward
To marsh and reedbed
Secret #harbour

#vss365

Morning's solid resolve
wears a self assured grin
that come nightfall soon falters
when temptation sets in
the best of intentions fall wayside to habit
convinced your safe #harbour
tis innate to grab it

white breakers rear up
seaweed lashes through the waves
who wants the #harbour
its berths and the iron chains
when the sun calls out to sea

Even after all that, all the scheming and betrayals, I found I didn't #harbour any ill will towards him.
In fact, I realised that I did not have any feelings, good or bad, towards anyone.
It was as if, since I died and was summoned back, I'd left my heart behind in that cold, barren place.

So I was just sitting in the dark, free-associating to the #vss365 prompt #harbour, and I had an epiphany.

It occurred to me for the first time, that I was born in a harbour town.

But in my case, it was a “harbor”town, New York.

It was a harbor, before it became a city, and it remains one! 💡

Metal Breach

black sand
no gulls
just iron filings in the air
harbour water yellow with tannery drain
a dead battery bubbling in the bilge
taste of tin
eyes soured
throat salted
the water doesn't wash
it stains

another #harbour night
rocking, breathing

I enter the silence
between crashing waves 

I am water
Not even his hands are safe harbor
To keep me from spilling.
I flow unbounded,
Inadvertent,
Soul leaking, stretching, breaking,
Evaporating
Before he finds his cup.

Once I've spilled it's too late.
I cannot be put back.

Only disappear
And rain again.
