do u want the good news or the bad news

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.

Robert Frost

What keeps me up at night

You are stuck unto my retinas

A blue reflection of you

Floating and dancing

When I close my eyes

Enticing me closer

With light and looks

You are burned into my skin

Long streaks of loving strokes

Tight ropes of safe hugs

Redhot onto my lips

Almost white on my hands

From grazing your skin

You are an echo in my ears

Soft whispers at night

In a desperate embrace

Hoarse, hushed words

As we get closer

Loud laughs with twinkling eyes

You are etched into my soul

As much a part of me

As the blood in my veins

Rushing to my face

[Untitled Haiku]

pressing spring is here

mood not lifted, like blossoms

stuck to the wet ground

[purgatoryofmymind-blog]

Heartbreak is such a cruel muse,

Both prodding the heart

(And brain)

To feel profoundly, seeking and finding

Metaphors

While simultaneously

Making it impossible to do

Anything with the fire it starts

In the very depths of one's soul.

i'd rather see 1000 graffiti penises than 1 product billboard. i'd live in dick city if it meant i could avoid advertisements in my daily life.

YoU

Your eyes float in the corners of my mind Looking over my shoulder or Finding my eyes accidentally When I don't want them to I worry I worry that you're hurting as much as I am Or that you do not hurt at all Or both, but in the wrong way I gave you poems, flower S, and unconditional love You gave me hope, a playlist And a broken heart Understand, please, I do not blame you I understand, that I was not good for you, However hard I tried... You YOU you You

Angel

You called me your "little angel", My heart fluttered Like the wings of a bird You called me "sweetie", My skin felt as though It could start burning any minute now You held me close I wanted to stay there Forever in your arms You gave me hope and love Just by being around me And I swear to God If you would crush that hope You could crush me And I would let you

Safe space

Your eyes enchant me When I see your nose - O God, that sweet little nose of yours - I want to plant soft kisses on it Like the seeds of countless wild flowers That leave little freckles for the bumblebees that are my lashes

Your lips - O God, those nice luscious lips of yours - I could kiss them all day If you let me I could be with them and rest Like I would my head in the grass When the sun shines through the leafs

You are My Safe space

When she looks at me She really sees When she talks to me She listens When she touches me I can truly feel Our hearts connect within us If I could tell her how I feel (that would be a dangerous act) And if she felt the same 'bout me (which I really don't expect) We would be in heaven We could share two lives as one For now, for then, forever Eternity won't seem so long

Secret

That one song… When I hear it I can feel your cheek against mine. That one moment… I saw you and I knew you are the one I want to share everything with. You are the most beautiful, the sweetest, the smartest, and the most talented person I know. I absolutely adore you, but I have to be patient. Patiently waiting for you to realise that we belong together. We would be so perfect, and everyone knows it. I think even you do, but you’re not ready. So until then, I will love you and go on, but you only have to say the word and I’ll take the leap. Hand in hand. And if that moment never comes, I’ll keep it to myself and I’ll love you, and you’ll love me, but it’d be a secret. A secret everybody knows.

it would kill me

if I die today

and have to live

with the fact

that you never knew

how I felt

[purgatoryofmymind-blog]

Whuthering Hairs

your hair curls through my head

tangling, through my thoughts,

and now and then, it winds

it’s dangerous tentacles around one

wrapping it in your smell

like the way it pours down your back

it pours through my body

I can almost feel how it’s getting closer,

closer to my heart

and I try to push it back

but when I look at your eyes, your smile,

I simply do not have the strength

for they promise me love and protection,

so I let each golden string of light slowly,

but surely, get deep into my chest

and I know, that now, I am your Heathcliff,

and Cathy, I will go mad for you,

I know now, that I am lost,

lost in these Wuthering hairs,

ready to die, next to you.

one simple question

my answer unexpected

those eyes

that always smile

clouding up my mind

a flake of ash

on my finger

reminded me

of lashes

darker than the night

your lips

full and luscious

but manly

are recurrent in my dreams

chocolate sweet

you have an effect

I had never thought

someone like you

someone at all

could have on me
