forever & never
Underrated hallucinations of an untuned heart
your dusty curls slither through the prairies of my skin
your grey eyes are cracking, thrifting apart
ambling through the arid meadows of the past
yet your marshlands smoke sin
the fog unfolds
much too fast
and the fiery mirage of you
burns away
oh, the reverie of the downcast.

You ran away when you were seventeen sleeping weeping in blurry cars and in eerie inns with no address no name trapped in time bordering the highway where you wrote to me poems in Latin stamped from the basement of my mind inspired by a denuded flower whimpering in a glass bottle of Coca-Cola beside a clumsy kitchen sink. You’re a vagabond tragedy a vagabond prodigy dipped in the paint of a raw sorrow quoting Virgil sitting in a bumper car sleepily howling Roman odes at a hollow night sky with swollen knuckles swollen eyes from trying to twist a drain of logic a faucet of amnesia only to find a leak of pain. I see you lying on the thirsty sand your eyes closed your lips apart morose saliva trickling out onto your chin a ripple of water comes to stroke your feet telling you to wake up but you don’t. A broken vinyl scratched from loving too hard.

My Love
Here's another poem for you ♡
Who knows the inner workings of my heart even more than I
♤《》■《》♤《》■《》♤《》■《》♤《》■《》♤《》■
You're a thief in the night
You're a blissful remedy
Healing me in ways I never thought possible
Opening doors I imagined forever shut
And leading me through them with open arms
But, too, you're an inescapable, tantalizing fire
A storm, raging at sea
One that haunts
Stings
Fights to the bitter end, pursuing the unattainable
My storm, my calm
You've invaded my thoughts
Overtaking them like a commander at war
My love, you're victorious
They're on you, now, forever
But oddly, I enjoy it this way
You hold my heart - my everything - in your hands
Skin stained crimson as you wield your power over it
I'm at your mercy
Do as you please, my love, and I will pick up the pieces
Three Words
Here's another poem 💜 Hope you guys are enjoying these and taking care of yourselves. All my love 🌺

I shouldn't say I love you
Those three little words are so overused
Misused
Insignificant, compared to what I feel for you
They die out on my tongue, held there like a whisper never spoken
I refrain, for you're better than that
You deserve a new term
A new alphabet, even
A whole language dedicated to you
I've had a few ideas swirling around in my head for a while now and I'm finally getting around to sharing them. Enjoy. #writing #writersofinstagram #poetry #freeverse #imagism #inspirationalpoetry #originalpoetry https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXb_Y-LMLi/?igshid=10h5cl96h7uzi
Here we are
Drifting listlessly through a dark infinity
Tiny lights dazzle us with the dance of the cosmos,
Shimmering until the end of their lives
Far beyond ours.
A fog of stars light our sky
If we are still enough to see them,
They show us the beauty of the night that we’ve long feared.
That our fears are real,
That there are endless unknowns in the darkness around us
And that we are far from alone or unique in the darkness,
What lurks around us is far beyond what we could ever hope to imagine.
A flicker so miniscule among an ocean of lights
Lost among more brilliant lights if we look away,
Yet it continues to dance its gleaming dance
For all, or none, to see
Are we that lost flicker?
Spinning ‘round the black abyss
Ad infinitum
