her body
a warmth // a mouth open // a curtain pushed back
her body
a wound in my breathing

Trees
He's as tall as the trees. Redwood. And I walk by him, almost always next to him. He holds my hand and keeps me safe under his shade. I feel the soft wind brush against my face as it invited my hair to waltz. The sun shines on me so bright, I sometimes wonder if I'm in a dream. But I look before me and the path is so clear, I know my eyes aren't deceiving me. I see. I'm alive. I feel hope soar through my bones, as love rushes through my veins; an undeniable euphoria. It's as if the trees orchestrated the rest of nature to open up to me, to envelop me in daisies and happiness. But the sun got too hot, it ignited a flame and burnt off the leaves of the trees. He let go of my hand, and the wind blew harder, turning a small flame into a forest fire. I see it swallow up the path, spitting it's ashes at me. The trees, my tree, ran and took his light away with him. 060317 @papershredder

Fall/Fault
I crumble at the sound of your words
the movement of your tongue as it hits the roof of your mouth, releasing towards the teeth
Sweet sound of sorry fill the air as you will yourself to cry
Yet I can’t help but get hypnotized when I look into your sad sappy eyes
I crumble
Under
You
‘neath these sheets
from the way my hair stands up as you touch my nape
My heart splits to molecular pieces every time you forget I’m a human being that tears when pulled apart
Love is a wretched thing.

truth be told
i am still unsure
what about you
that makes my heart glow
and grow beautifully
like the stars
is it your eyes
that silently worships
in the temple of my body?
your ears that love
my every single moan?
or your mouth
craving to taste
my south?
but just like the earth
without its twinkling stars
my temple is hollow & empty
i beg you, baby
you’re my only remedy
so come here now
and fill me

there are plenty of things
about you that i could list
things that I love about you
ones that annoy me, too
i could take the cheesy route
and say you have
the most beautiful, most expressive
eyes I have ever seen
or try to be a hopeless romantic
and tell you that
i love you
because
you make me
the happiest, the luckiest woman
even at 2:30am
when i daydream of you
neither of them is wrong
in fact
i meant
every
single
word
but you deserve more than that
you deserve more
than a freeverse
written at midnight
after over an hour
of talking to you on the phone
you deserve more
than a silly, little compliment
that gives you
nothing more than a giggle and
a snort
you deserve more
than a girl like me
who can offer you
nothing
but all of me
but because
i love you
i will become the girl
that you deserve
the girl you’d want to
spend every morning
and every night
of every day with
i will become the girl
that would make you feel
the happiest, the luckiest man
even if we’re simply
spooning together
i will because i want
to be the girl that you deserve
the girl that you need
so that i would be worthy enough
to deserve you
because
you are all that i need

movie on a loop
cinematic, poetic
for a moment, I thought
we’re a fuckin’ indie movie
low lights, muted colors
music neither of us recognize.
poignant and true.
someone gave the pen to Hemingway
‘cause hills and elephants
were crowding our way
except this time
it was all me.
six weeks
and x days
distress clearly painted on my face.
you flooded me with apologies
and for a moment
i believed you
were leaving me.
but you stayed
regardless
of the one way conversations,
sudden bursts of tears,
pointless self-loathing,
of finger-pointing,
and eating for two.
you stayed
even after
it’s all done,
responsibilities over,
dues paid.
you said you are staying
unless i ask you to leave
and I won’t ever.
if i could
i would let this movie play forever.

next to your eyes
i adore your mouth the most
covering me in kisses
whenever we’re together
reminds me that a flawed
woman like myself
deserves affection too
hearing your contagious
infectious
laughter
makes me feel at ease
like i shouldn’t worry
about tomorrow
cause right now
i’m with you
and the things you say to me
remind me of
how lucky i am
to finally rest my head
on someone real
you

He’s in my bones
I’m in his head
I guess it hasn’t really sunken in
that this could just all be
in my head
That maybe I am
thinking about him
of him
too much
so much
But he is in my head
in his unmade bed
Georgian, born and bred
He touches me and
I fall under a spell
His mouth reaches mine
and I lose all my shit
But reality bites
and it’s time to go home again
to close my eyes and fall asleep
Fingers crossed
he’d still be there
even after I dream.
