Hi, do you like poetry about mental health and healing from trauma? If so, you should check out my book - Life Undecided

Available on all major platforms plus Kobo, smashwords, etc OR you can purchase directly through me (just the ebook atm, working on physical)

A small study in distance, denial and cut flowers.

#poemsabout #rot #poetrysky #poetsky

STILL FLOWERS

The flowers lasted eighteen days.
I know because I counted.

By six, the water had gone cloudy.
By nine, the first stem bent.
By thirteen, they had started
leaning on each other
for structural reasons.

I changed the water anyway.

From the kitchen door
they still looked like flowers.

I tried the hallway.

Still flowers.

The sofa:
flowers.

Three feet away:

less convincing.

Up close
they had become
a collection of failures,
minor and major.

Apparently beauty
has a minimum viewing distance.

Nobody tells you this.

Museums know it.

Pointillists knew it.

By eighteen
I knew it too.

I did not give past me permission to assault my feelings like this while I flipped through my old song binder

The Mirror Lies

When I look in the mirror do you know what I see?
A face that is mine and yet not the real me
I stand there for hours, thoughts running through my mind 
And I can't stop this feeling that's building up inside, I start to cry

Will there ever be a day when I wake up and open my eyes
Look down and see that I've become who I'm supposed to be 
My heart can't break forever, there's only so many pieces left 
Seems like with every step I take forward, I fall another ten back

Will I ever reach the peak of this mountain I'm climbing?
Will I ever get to see the other side?
A million questions every time I look at my reflection
Just wanna break through and disperse this illusional life
Because the mirror lies

When I take a deep breath and close my eyes
I escape to a world where I can freely fly
I soar through the skies never once afraid of falling

identity
held together loosely

a person
as temporary grammar

the brief experiment
of being someone

I'm searching for the tallest tree
To climb, to struggle one last time
I won't soar, I won't be free
Just to become fertile slime

Eat me, giant
For I was always too small
To stand on your shoulders

That Siren (ROUND 4)

Let's workshop this poem about the struggles of a homeless drunk who, caught in a cycle of despair, finds comforting empowerment in the self-deception that he is just recharging his explosive energies

How it started vs How it ended

Completely sold out of my book of queer poetry at the Carroll Book Festival this weekend with fellow author @sillauthor.bsky.social

Thank you all for making this weekend a dream come true!

Nothing is moving, yet you're called to be joyful.
Spirit of God, help me.
Deep joy is winning and I'm leaning in.
So I ask:
Do you want to suffer,or do you want to drown in deep joy?
I say choose joy and let it all go.

Helfino how I got into a poetry starter pack but I'll take it (thank you!) <3 Like much of my writing, even my poems are snarky. Here's one about work.

Dreams of Dianne

Title: Dreams of Dianne

Dianne Wiest as the mother
In The Lost Boys
Is really foxy

I might be too old
For her character
To be interested in now

At the same time
I hear the clicking
In my knees
Standing at a film's end

My ankles don't bend
As quietly as they used to
And my shoulders have
Hair I didn't know before

Bed is warmly welcomed
Close my eyes
To dreams of Dianne

You can usually hear when a poem has put on its serious voice.

I try to leave the room before it starts discussing eternity.
