let these
#delta waves
overwhelm
take me under
so i can finally know
peace
away from
the visitors
that echo in my mind

learning to be happy again
when all you are used to feeling is melancholy
is an act of hope
against the self-hate you believe in

romance is never dead so long as you don’t forget to dream

#lovepoetry #micropoem #poetry #writing #love #bskypoets #shortpoetry

if only the hurricane
the tidal waves in my brain
could keep #calm
while i succumb to the qualms
that never cease
to let me be

#vss365 #shortpoetry #poetry #dark #sad #poetry #writing #mentalhealth #darkacademia #sadpoetry

if your kiss will be the death of me, then i would savor the taste of your lips as i will my last breath

#micropoem #poetry #love #lovepoem #writing #shortpoetry #bskypoets

please
let your love
be enough

the #quake
cracks
fissures
everything
everywhere
'til there is nothing left
but broken pieces
forever remain

day by day
moment by moment

#vss365 #poetry #shortpoetry #bskypoets #dark #sad #sadpoetry #mentalhealth

you intertwine my body and mind
threads of ivy i can't break free
but if this is the price of devotion
then i will succumb in the name of love

#poetry #shortpoetry #love #writing #bskypoets #romantic #lovepoem #poem

i let this fractured
heart beat for you
even if
it only
breaks me

#poetry #bskypoet #sad #dark #writing #shortpoetry #sadpoetry

your body is the #siren song that i will eternally find irresistible

After experimenting with different ideas for a while, we’ve finally settled on a fitting tagline for The Hoolet’s Nook. Sometimes the simplest words say it best:

“A journal for tiny things.” 🌸🌿

moongrass, honeybees
i go as i please;
crescent spaces, sunlit glow
dreams that come and flow;
stream of consciousness
is it cursed or is it blessed?
will these words leave a mark
or be seen as merely a lark?

honeybees
are only drawn
to the most
potent
of roses,

to you
i guess
i was never
strong
enough

#poetry #past #sad #love #shortpoetry #bskypoets #sadpoetry #writing

in the cracks of my heart
daffodils blossom
like rays of daylight
i've longed to see again

#melancholy #poetry #writing #sad #hope #shortpoetry #bskypoets

i could bleed out all the ink
and it still wouldn't be enough
to believe my words are worth it

#sad #dark #poetry #writing #mentalhealth #shortpoetry #darkacademia #bskypoets #sadpoetry

and so i #sail away
from the confines of the day-by-day
so i can let myself fade
into dreams made of gray

#vss365 #poetry #shortpoetry #sad #dark #daydream #writing

how much poison will it take 'til i either succumb to the venom or find it in me to make an antidote?
