Tricia Sankey

We were far from tame kitties
no, we were ocelots
stalking one another
with hazel eyes
transfixed on pain
ours was a love story
respawned – 9 times
Now, I'm
SOCLOSE
to the edge
can we stick this landing?

Catch
me
now#vss365#ocelot pic.twitter.com/Q8wv2L5fRl

In his eyes
there was
a list
of wants

And I was feeling
rather charitable#vss365 #want#WriteMap 120 pic.twitter.com/2q8iql8wLU

inside his eyes

I found the
theory of
everything

and nothing
existed
but us#WriteMap 120 eyes pic.twitter.com/OXER5MdqRQ

You touched me first
inside my mind

I changed my religion

and like a reverent monk
I hold your name

I release what is left…#vss365#change pic.twitter.com/6TeIno2doJ

laced between whispers
lust flows and loosens
my limbs
a choir of cupids
chant spells
in my ear
I SCREAM YOUR NAME
I've hid under tongue
and the tide
swiftly sweeps
me away#loveletters #poetry #poetrycommunity#YouTube#Subscribe pic.twitter.com/D8QF0r82Fg

a bad #love story –

A storm was brewing in your grey eyes. You told me how the government could hack our thoughts. I believed you. I wanted to sail away in those eyes, crash my ship in that storm, lie naked beneath those waves. But you never could read my mind. #BrknShards pic.twitter.com/dmUCENZUde

Your knuckles scattered stars
they startled the moon
sending dark #dust to the floor

And when I settle into the corner
and touch that golden carpet
glowing now
under velvet gravity

I'll remember your confetti face
and praise the ride#vss365 #YouTube #432Hz #poetry pic.twitter.com/DRV4IAXFNA

“To Know the Dark"

To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.”

Wendell Berry, Terrapin: Poems by Wendell Berry#Knowledge #vss365

The Moon Knows

Lonely Nights
Unanchored Breaths
and Cold Stares

Black Widow –

the science of
spells is to feed
her desires

so her eyes
follow him into
crowds far away

watch him now
slowly turn
slowly fan #wicked flames

at her nod
he’ll combust

underneath
fishhook moon 🌛

he's all hers
she reels in

a small bite
before noon! #vss365 pic.twitter.com/EYGRnTbntd

I walk eyes open
into clouds
into dust
there's a woman
who sings in elevators
her name is Sara
a funny dream
we reach the mountain
but slip down into
the valley
for fun#SenseWrds 553#YouTube#Subscribehttps://t.co/8kHIpEjOS3

I stand here now
by the water, by your grave

admiring the flowers
we planted and

lost in what-if's

whisper to me now

I'll cocoon each syllable with
silk threads that won't break

let enough magic rise
for one last story#vss365#losthttps://t.co/lDXZntuyYl

Crack the firmament
and release hidden #knowledge

Stand under
sharp shards
of truth

if you want to feel
something real#vss365#YouTube pic.twitter.com/3K3IZcIRCd

She let herself fall
into clear blue eyes
guided down
into glittering space
maybe they'd once met
in a saner world
under softer stars#vss365 #star#youtubechannel @micropoetrybytricia pic.twitter.com/3caUK8vrF8
