A rough drawing I did of the moon smoking a cigarette. Because surrealism. #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #surreal #surrealism #sketching #untwineme #untwineusa

She came to me before she was born. In the stillness of nighttime dreams. She is my moon star. ••• #poetry #poem #wordsmith #stars #moon #moonstar #dreams #night #light #destiny #fate #soulmates #quotes #verse #madewords #bymepoetryamerica #bymepoetry #omypoetry #poets #poetsofinstagram #untwineusa #untwine #writings #sayings (at Phoenix, Arizona)

This is not me, broken. This is me having a moment. Yes, it's a moment on my knees In the Kroger parking lot. In tears. But, I am not broken. I know a lot of the time, people see me that way. But I am not the shattered man they think I am. They have no idea the strength it takes to fight the battles, I have to face every single day. Today it was a simple one. Fight a panic attack while forgetting the most important thing you went to the store for, because requests on the phone sound like mortars on the Battlefield. All I wanted to do, was get In the truck. Get home. And fight in silence. Then when I got to my next stop, I realized what I had done. It might sound funny when I tell you how terrifying the drive back to Kroger was. But, my mind was in flames. I could barely hold the wheel in its proper place. And my eyes were pushing out water in a futile attempt to cool it all down. I ran. Blurry. Halfway across the parking lot. With the truck still running. Hoping. Praying it would be there. The only medicine I have been prescribed That has helped at all. And it was. So I dropped to my knees and took this moment. Horrified. Thankful. With more shit to do. -James Kelley 2017 #untwineusa #bymepoetryamerica #penguinpoetrynyc #deardiary #poetry #prose #letter #mentalillness #anxiety #bipolardepression #makingit #writers #blogger #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #prosecco #menwhowrite #poetsofig #poetsociety #poetsofinstagram

Here, in this place, tonight- we’re wrapped up in cosmic tendons, pulsing and threatening to sway. To become slack like the ancient piano strings Mozart left behind with God when he had his first dream of symphonies born in the heart of bursting stars. We’re going to fall loose, and spiral down into the swelling storm of potentiality. Swirling in the faintest wind, pushing down on shoulders so used to shrugging. Instead of pushing forward. And, I’m here to tell you. For a long time. It will be quiet. There will be no music; The strings have broken. Because too many have forgotten how to sing; Too many have forgotten to appreciate their suffering. They’ve forgotten that it’s the way chords are made. Why music has always been held so fondly. Why it pushes us forward. Because we are the threads that bind. And our music is the storm. We will remember, again. Calloused fingertips will hold vibrations close. Acoustics will sound off cedar, and remind us why burning isn’t always the answer. It will happen again. Just wait for the rain. -James Kelley 2017 #poetry #untwineusa #bymepoetryamerica #penguinpoetrynyc #poetryofig #poetrycommunity #poetrygram #blogger #writers #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #artilixirpoetry #books #bookstagram #liveloveburn #jameskelley

my poetry isn't meant for the halls of academia, it's meant for the streets, to be soaked up in gray matter where it matters the most, and to be adored in the hearts of gold where she said I had the richest gift of all. #poetry #poems #typewriterpoetry #typewriter #wordsmith #poetrycommunity #poets #spilledink #spilledthoughts #abentley #alexanderbentley #madewords #untwineme #untwineusa #omypoetry #bymepoetry #bymepoetryamerica #words #text #poetsofinstagram #writingcommunity #academia #streets #streetpoetry #streetphotography #streetart #hearts #gift #adore (at High Street AZ)
