Splice

I find hollow screams of the sea caught inside their shells, the sandy shore awakened, pale and white to the dying, fighting light of the twilight sun that sinks, splits the world into two tearing circles. stars that prick pins and needles into my skin. and, time that slinks into unending grief, that comes  wave after trembling wave. that never lets me forget, a piece is missing from inside me since you left.

Thank You.

I just really wanted to say Thank You, to all who has sent a kind message checking up on me or helping me through this. It means so much to me. To have people I can trust to share this with, seek advice from or just be in the company of whilst being so conflicted and confused or hurt and angry from the pain of what happened. 

In all honesty, I always grew up thinking I’d always be alone to face what I had to with no help or support. Tumblr has allowed me to meet a few of the most incredible friends and people I could’ve never thought to meet. I’ve learned so much about respecting myself, internalizing their kind voices instead of the abusive ones I grew up with and being vulnerable and trusting because there are the very few people who more than deserve that. People I respect with my entire heart inside out. 

Despite what life throws at me, knowing I’ve had your company or presence in my life makes me feel ever grateful and blessed. I hope I can give something back to your lives too. 

No matter how much darkness or bad there might be in the world, knowing there are lights like you whom exist with your kindness and wisdom inspires me to continue fighting. 

I hope I can be such a light in another’s life in the future as you have been to mine. 

Love, 

L.Y.S.S

just boosting this :)

Not long ago I remember talking with my friend Matt @voidlightmoon about the passing of @barbaranestor2 and it was his idea to organize a poetry tribute for her. Never once did I think that I would be doing it now for him. 

My friend Matt passed away this morning after a brave fight against cancer. I just received word of this sad news from his girlfriend. 

Matt was an amazing person. I was privileged to have called him my friend, to have shared so many special moments with him , to have written with him. My heart is so full of grief it is hard to utter a word so my fingers, of course, write. 

I know Matt had many friends here. He was such a kind soul. I am comforted in that his words will live on. He was an amazing poet as he wrote from his heart.

He contributed much to our poetry community here  and to honor his memory I hope you will join me in writing pieces as tributes to Matt. I will be publishing them on Friday May 28 under the tag #forvoidlightmoon . I will be reblogging  those posts on my page @inspireamuse . If you want to participate in this tribute to Matt make sure to tag your piece. Hopefully this will help comfort not only Matt's family but all our hearts as well. Please join me in this tribute to the life of this wonderful man and fellow poet. 

Matt, you will be sorely missed. May you rest with the angels. I will remember and love you always.

e.v.e.

pause

Dear man on the train Please stop humming Please end the vibrations of your Vocal cords puffing their chests Within your throat Whose song are you singing, man? Whose song is that, white man? Who are you singing to? Me? Him? Them? Us?

When you hum I can feel your Thwarted voice travel below your seat Watch it lower on to the floor Crawl swiftly along the gray dirt ridden floor Glide like the belly of a ghost To the under of my chair Pushing on my cushion Pushing me up and off

Your decibel legs stretch over mine Your reverberating elbows crush my forearms The shoulders of your tune rest easily, heavily upon mine

What are we supposed to do? I put in my headphones First U2 then Rocket man White men Singing to me Sing it to me

love and prayers for @litglob

Today, I heard that my dear friend @litglob has passed away. He had a long battle with cancer and he suffered a lot through it all. I was there for most part and I hope that our friendship brought him some relief.

He passed away on the 26th of March, 2021. Its been three months of total darkness for me.

I hope he has moved on to a better place where there is no pain and only laughter. He had only a short life here, only a few days in which he touched many lives. Mine included. Sending him love and light and prayers. You were loved dear poet and I will miss you a lot <3

the sky is grey in mourning and I am here with my thoughts of you.

what was warm and alive has gone dead cold.

and there are tears where lakes were, my love will sink forgotten to the bottom.

Meltdown

Transformers flare In blistering winds Blacken and crisp To charred wisps Hell on Earth From Devil’s plow Sowing firey seeds Raked with burning steeds Thunderous gusts Of burning breath Splinters and embers Cauldrons of death Grab the children Start the car Pray the white-hot tide Can’t reach this fast Can’t reach this far Furies of flame Demons untamed Reclaim, reclaim In Satan’s name Meltdown to the ground Dreams lost and never found This is the wretched endgame Of our Earthly hand, poorly played. litglob © 2019

A wild violet found in a dappled glade, The way the rising sun gently kissed The dawn, the lilting call of the oriole Low and sweet in the forest mist. I just wanted to say--you are missed But nature herself is your memorial. She and I, we walk and reminisce. Beloved, your smile will never fade.

litglob replied to your post “Paris”

Thank you for this. We must be allowed to speak our minds. So that this kind of violence does not strip our freedoms away.

The events in France and Belgium hit very close to home, in a literal sense, too. Despite life as such being great, I do need to come to terms with what is going on. I'm glad Europe's response to this madness is one of peaceful, tenacious resistance. Those loonies must not win, and they certainly mustn't have the war they crave.

Nixon 2.0

Bring out the banners For the charade parade Evade the public hearings While crying that it’s “all in private” Public opinion is so easily Divided and conquered Democracy is the new crypto-currency On the Facebook chopping block “Truth is not truth” “Alternative facts” “Fake news” “Witch hunt” How easy it is to wear white hoods While creating falsehoods Giuliani signs on as the latest 911 terrorist No attack has been more damaging To the fabric of this country Than the inside circle-jerks In this insidious mob All hail, in lockstep with President Putin Foxaganda wins In a world where everyone loses. litglob © 2019
