There is a
Collision of
Galaxies,
Fire and gravity,
Constellations
Shifting,
A becoming
That I cannot
Subdue.

#poetry

There will
Be such
Poetry
In the grave,
More than
These meager
Words could
Ever convey,
The hymn of
Decay in
The dark.

#poetry

In spite of
The silence,
Since birth,
I have never
Stopped
Screaming.

#poetry

Every single
Poem is an
Incantation
To heal a
Wound.

#poetry

There are
Men who,
Reduced
To bone ash,
Still carry
More fire
Than you
Ever will.

#poetry

Gravity is a
Constant
And, oh,
There’s proof
Enough in
How hard
I’ve fallen.

#poetry

Each breath
Eulogizes the last.
Twenty thousand
Deaths and rebirths
Every day.
Every one a new
Chance.

#poetry

A bewilderment
Of stars behind
Your eyes,
It’s no surprise
You light up
The dark.

#poetry

Bloom bruises
Wild like nebulae,
From destruction
Comes new
Beginnings.

#poetry

There has been a lot of grieving in our home lately...beloved dog...Uncle...A friend. I try to bring comfort to myself and others through my art.

Colorful tree and grief comfort poem by artist and poet Sharon Cummings.

How dare
The crematory
Be the last
To hold you,
When I have
Just as much
Fire.

#poetry

Time turns
Coal into
Diamonds,
Mountains
To sand,
Stars into
Flesh,
But does
Not heal
Wounds.

#poetry

I asked
The stars
To tell me
My true
Purpose,
And they
Answered
In burning.

#poetry

May the
Daggers
Of truth
Sharpen
Their blades
On the bones
Of your lies.

#poetry

Love comes
Easy
When one
Remembers:
Each being
Is a point of
Light, each
Point of
Light a
Universe.

#poetry

Time is a
Adorned
By you,
A faceted
Jewel
Made of
Starlight.

#poetry

I inherited
My mother’s
Hell, and
My father’s
Silence.

#poetry

Tell the stones
My name,
Then let the
Eons slowly
Forget it.

#poetry

You are a
Thing most
Wonderfully
Bright, built
Wholly of
Stars.

#poetry

Every wound
Is a proving
Ground.
Every scar,
A victory.

#poetry

Let the
Alchemy
Of your art
Transmute
Pain into
Gold.

#poetry

Say your name
Knowing that
The yawn
Of eons
Roar inside
You, the
Riotous
Fire that
Will not
Be tamed,
And do not
Fear.

#poetry

Give me
A heart that
Loves without
Taking,
Bends without
Breaking, and
Mends without
Aching.

#poetry

You’re a
Breath held
Under water,
I’ve finally surfaced
And exhaled.

#poetry

May we
Dance
Upon the
Leaden
Coffin
Time tries
To pull us
Into.

#poetry

Nine Word Poem

Art is the
part that blows
your head apart.

©2025 David W. Jones

#poem #poetry #art

You found
Me with
The crypt
Behind my lips
Empty,
The shallow
Grave of
My lungs
Waiting to
Be filled.

#poetry

I will open
Like the
Morning glory
To welcome you
Like the Sun.

#poetry

There is light
Within you,
Borrowed from
Ancient stars,
That sorrow
Cannot abide,
And joy
Surrenders to.

#poetry

Today’s rain
Is tomorrow’s
Blossoming:
The secret
Knowledge of
Sleeping roses.

#poetry

I will drop
The dead weight
Of your name
And ascend
Again.

#poetry

Let the
Memory come
Quietly,
Unarmed.
Let me let it go
Without guilt,
Without harm.

#poetry

We still have butterflies in the garden! So I do feel blessed. :)

Colorful butterfly on white with poem by artist Sharon Cummings.

One day
I will inhale
Without
Razor blades,
One day
My breaths
Will be
Bloodless.

#poetry

Hope is a
Madness,
Driven to the
Edge of reason,
And I am sick
With it.

#poetry

I do what
I want.
I’ll do it
Again,
Wearing only
Your antipathy
As a crown.

#poetry

Such starlight
Lives beneath
The skin,
Beloved, you
Illuminate the
Dark.

#poetry

You sought
To extinguish
The mad embers
In me, but ended
Up only getting
Burned.

#poetry

All full of
Endings,
Entropy on
Fire. With
Arms full
Of ashes,
I begin
Again.

#poetry

We are the
Reignition,
One hundred
Billion stars
In a Galaxy
Of flesh.

#poetry

Let people
Misunderstand you.
There are
Constellations
That will know you
By your burning.

#poetry

Lament in the field
Of vivid mistranslations
Livid linguist lore
