.
there’s still enough time
so stop apologizing
for the heartbeat
between your thighs.
taste the want on your skin,
dark chocolate + cayenne,
a door kicked open
to a midnight hurricane.
nothing is lost
only made sacred.

i fed you from a plate i never filled for myself
i had not met the version of me who keeps some back

between your arms
all my wandering
comes to rest
like rain
returning to the sea

my yes came before you finished the question
back then i called it love and left it at that
i thought i was patient i was just emptying quietly
no one taught me where the giving was supposed to stop

Can you believe it's almost publication time for our inaugural issue?? 😮🎉 Once it's published, you'll be able to read the selected pieces directly on our website or download a PDF/epub file to read on whatever e-reader(s) you have! #writingcommunity #writesky #poetrysky #romancelandia #shortstory

The versions of me that have populated the year thus far all weep different. I weep for who I lost. Sorrow in sunken sunken-sins shadowed so slow and smooth. An unstable ego echoes resentment. I am not ok. Homeostasis eludes me. Acknowledgments. #PoetrySky #MicroPoetry #MentalHealthSky #vss #Dark

after the poem
the quill remembers
being sky

As we write this post, these three marvelous poets are wending their way to the Hotel Petaluma for the Petaluma Poetry Walk blast-off reading today at 11 am! Will you be there? We hope so! Poem on!

#poetrysky #poetrycommunity #poetnews #poetry #PetalumaPoetryWalk

there is no conflict
in the way
I receive your love

from afar
or near

the heart
has its own measure

and distance
is not one of them

i never asked what
was fair i just kept giving
i did not know there
was another way to love
