City dream, ravel rave, shining, never dulls.
Street!
Matching mode's, strange with flurry.
Street!
Strange outlets, starring without intent.
Street!
A new beginning, sought soothed sight.
Street!
A crest filled, lot carried, philosophy reared.
Street!

i’m not humble and kind at all, —
why do you think i ported my sky
on the translucent membrane of your eyes…?
…
to force you to (dream), (dream), (dream)…

✴✴✴✴

your diabolic mind created a journey, —
this journey pushes someone else’s thoughts
to some possible destinations for healing
the deceitful promises of tomorrow

(to force you to wake up), (wake up), (wake up)
…
(in my beautiful world)

I use the mute button frequently. In my view, it is the right way to deal with content you do not want to see for whatever reason, sort of like a killfile on USENET.

My guess is that with Threads most of us will not need to worry because Threads will defederate lots of interesting instances, so those are going to split off into the #freeverse.

@wjmaggos

Or it's a simple equation... people use FOSS when it is comparable to paid alternatives or close enough that the price differential is worth it.

#LibreOffice still sucks ass.

I hope the #fediverse or better yet the #freeverse takes over, but I think Meta's 100m users are going to clobber it.

The #Fediverse is dead.

Long live the #Freeverse!

Mind spent, this weary and blistering day!
Setting with a renewed yawn,
Breath deep with a sleeping moan.
Looking forward to the shadow's,
Sleep bestown.

One of my favorite nodes on the #freeverse.

The #Fediverse is now dead. The entry of Threads will kill it, and give rise to the #Freeverse, at which point we will all be better off.

Finished the anniversary #poem for the couple from my last class. Think it turned out pretty solid.

# Home of Two Open Hearts

You asked me if I love you
And I fear that the words that escape my lips will never do my truth justice

How do I tell you that this love is a rainbow view
That it’s like seeing in color for the first time
What was once just a monochromatic hue
Gave way to dianthus lime
Vibrant anemone rouge
And gentian blue

Or that I know you understand the language with which I speak
To a depth, unimaginable
—Intricate, often winding and unique yet never discrete—
Indefatigable
Even when you can’t translate to your mother tongue
I still see you hold the fire of my insides in your hands
All the while, you’re cradling the inner younger you, yet somehow none of our feelings go unsung
In those moments, I won’t lie, I still don’t know this withstands
My whole being screams you’re leaving
But you stay

What I mean is, I feel you here when it would be so much easier to go
That I know there is space grow
That we can heal here
That we can make a home here—if we want to
And I think that’s all we’ve ever wanted—everything we’ve been searching for
A home without limits
A home of two open hearts

So when you ask me if I love you, I say:
I do

The frontman of one of my favorite bands, #Listener, lead #poetry classes during the pandemic when he couldn’t tour. I took all but one of them and met a lot of great people.

One of them met their significant other during one of the classes and is about to celebrate their first anniversary. They asked if I would write and perform a poem for them based off the prompt “this love feels like”.

I only just today had a chance to dive into it. My free writing produced this #FreeVerse. It’s still has // LONG // way to go, but was a decent enough first draft to share and of course #FeedbackWelcome:

So you ask me if I love you
And I fear that the words that escape from my lips will never do my truth justice
How do I tell you that this love is a rainbow view
See my world was once a monochromatic hue
But this love feels like seeing in color for the first time
Or that I know you understand the language with which I speak
—Deep and intricate, often winding and unique, yet never discrete—
To a depth unimaginable
And even when you can’t translate to your mother tongue
I see you hold the fire of my insides in your hands
And i won’t lie, in those moments my whole being screams you’re leaving
But you stay, unwavering
What I mean is I feel you here when it would be so much easier to go
That I know there is space for us both to grow
That we can heal here
That we can make a home here, if we want to
And I think that’s all we’ve wanted—everything we’ve been searching for
A home without limits
A home of two open hearts

I swing and sway
Music caressing my soul
His voice like spun silk
Touches my soul
In every word my story
Songs written for me
Light on my feet
As I moved to the rhythm
Notes danced through the air
Like a cool summer breeze
Dappled afternoon light
As it dipped below the horizon
My dance card is empty
And nobody is watching
She is not there
And the memory fades

I used to do a lot more free writes, I may start doing more. I enjoyed writing this.

Just released! My newest poetry book 'Reach for the Stars'! #poetry #poet #poetrybook #haiku #senryu #freeverse #poetrycommunity https://www.etsy.com/.../reach-for-the-stars-collection-of

Every day I reset
The whole world in my head,
Because it's easier to live
In a time when you were closer
Than it is to live
In one far away.
Every year I rebuild
The whole world out of my body,
Not worn down enough yet
To trade the axis and its heartbreak
To spin a winter night closed.
Made from sticks and feathers,
Strong as sunlight but fragile
As a gossamer insect wing,
I am light spun out of all
Those untranslatable songs
Fragmented on the wind.

To the #RecoveryPosse
Thank you for trying
So hard every day.

You are beautiful and
The world needs determined
And vulnerable humans
Like you.

Why do we love poetry? It paints vivid pictures, and carries us away...
take a little journey with this piece

#poetry #poetrymonth #magicaljourney #freeverse

the dream has come
and deeply sigh
while in my bed
unknown to me
she whispers softly
with breath's desire
and brings me to
nirvana's place
where dreams do die
and then reborn
in waking embrace
