It'll probably all be fine...

[Mark A T Bullock @MarkATBullock]

A handful of words for that moment when something just clicks :)

++

Telescopic life,
extended to the bitter end
in a search for answers,
fruitless
until the night our two lenses
slipped across each other
and everything came into focus.

To say I'm not a city person is a mssive understatement!! Give me some rolling hils and I'm happy

++

I may never split clouds
with the free things,
but with them,
and you,
I am home,
a world away from concrete.

It's these gaps in the noise that you'll remember :)

++

In a year with no motion,
this was a precious,
half-forgotten,
brand of stillness,
time marked
not by anxious pauses,
but by the gap between
heartbeats and fire cracks.

I managed to get some time with friends I've not seen this last year+. Didn't realise just how much I needed it. Take care folks x

an intimate bonfire
the height of a hard year,
doused with memories,
and watched it burn

Some wholly insufficient words for a friend's sister

++

A rose gone,
clipped in full summer scent,
the moon looks,
and weeps
and floods
a happy garden’s noon.

Sure it''s hot, I guess...

++
I walk with slow ease
along melting streets,
I am kissed every morning
by the girl-shaped star,
this suburban heat
seems cool to my touch.

Feeling that rose tinted vibe today. Memories are vital, for sure, but they're never everything and they're never perfect.

++

Times you half remember
are neither half as good
as it was
nor nearly half as good
as it could be

A little verse to those folks we're just not complete without

++

I sleep at last
and leave her
as the moon
leaves the sun
resting easy,
bathed in her warmth.

A slight rejig from yesterday, still figuring this new format out :)

I sometimes feel

I felt like the feed needed a bit of a refresh. Also aprt of a bigger project I'm mulling over :)

I look down and notice
I hold the flower
of wild nettle,
then feel the sting
of losing you
before I really knew you.

You taught me
how to laugh,
beauty, for you,
is more common
than uncommon,
and everyone
is worth a kind word.

We are a gallery
of blank canvases
considered hungrily
by other artists.

Give me the time of day,
give me the time of a day,
give me the time of a day
with her,
do no steal hours
as you so often do.
Give me all the time
of a day with her
and I would not ask
for a minute more.

I see your smile
and know you are whole,
see you find your way amid the dreary,
then soar with the free things
and know that you are home.

Speak softly
but give me then hard truths,
so I might better love
your kind words.

Quietly
through the singing woods
I step,
a muted, mumbling tune
in a grove
content to move
to its own song.

I return to the precipice,
looking over promised beauty,
what could be,
and then down,
broken parts of prototypes
I am older now,
can I still learn to fly? https://t.co/TIn0MdPgGF

[Mark A T Bullock @MarkATBullock]

Times we curled
I felt the world shrink,
and shrink until
it was no larger
than the boundaries
of the patchwork blanket
that covered us.

We were
the sprinter,
who tried to run
a marathon.
