“The Same Language”

When we talk, I want it to feel like home,
Like La Bohème looking for candlelight.
Nighttime touch that kindles romance,
Each phrase a chance to bring you back
To some train track of your forgotten youth.

Truth wiping away amnesia like…

Here we meet again—
My heart’s in your hand
My soul’s long gone

📷 by Cat Salley

Tattered pages
Hold my every thought
My diary where my soul’s caught

In black and white I pour my heart
My secrets safe never to depart

These words a fragile little key
Unlock the door to inner me
My lifes’ #biblio , through the ages

Sonnet: Brides of Dracula by Neil G
(from The Vampire Sonnets)

Undead we are, we sup with spirits dark.
For with the night, we are close allied.

Come, boy, with me. My thoughts are ripe in mischief:
I’ll sacrifice the lamb that I do love
To spite a raven’s heart within a dove.

Confessional breathes

insomniac night
eyes like a geisha
one long dark kohl line

the boulder of me
carefree
downhill
tumbling
knocking lesser things askew
what a to-do
till the wear and tear
of sullied brazen air
strikes at the core
of a thing so made
turning it to
a helter-skelter cavalcade
of stones

every #monolith
in time
a handful of pebbles #vss365

It was the tree
first spoke of this
crooked branch
reaching towards
the vanishing island of the Sun

Dark will come
O yes!

Crashing water wild
against the maidenhead
of our stupidity

Broken skin
blood
then a flood

Why did we
not listen to the tree

Neil G - Poet BattleBorn This one tugs at the heart strings 💜🖤💜

the pendulum swings in flux
cycles rotate in the expanding gyre
with my spirit I was out of touch
in this deepening earthly mire

rooted in materialism and greed
it's core ideo exploits the weak
but from this paradigm I was freed
hearing the voice of dharma speak
