dream state… by lucy dacus

Baby.com

You wrote me love poems on the back of my knees. I used to memorize them like I had to recite it in front of a crowd for a nickel and dime. We would say I love you almost every day. Even when bees buzzed inside your mouth.Now you watch me on baby.com fingering myself. Come on baby, let me tell you, I love you one more time. Say your name over and over.

If we fall in love

And the death embraces your soul

And the earth and fire and water and air takes you in

I'd find you in the sky,

In it's colours and rainbows

And clouds and the stars that shine

I'd love you till death

Because that's what you did.

The color of her rain is pink.

The color of her smile is grey.

Breathe in, cry. Calm down, calm down, it's over. [ slit, drip, cut ] Nothing too much, too much but never enough. Kind, give too much to the world

[ not to yourself never to yourself ] Write letters, write songs, write messages; comfort, advice [ while being torn apart slice by slice ]

rotten heart; rotten mind; rotten soul; rotten life.

step back and see [ all of this is bidding the filth you feed ] this is what was meant to be

scratch self, scratch hands, scratch wrist, scratch thighs [ slit, blade, uppercut, lower thigh ] you are now your own demise.

Toxic. Stoic. Toxic. Stoic. Stagnant water, moths, butterflies long dead, Flowers have been fed [ Life, long dead ]

Too strong, too wrong, [ wrong for her ] [Too much too much but never enough] Her name lingers on my skin, on my chest, Caricatures on my breast, wanted to be a painter she said, [ turned into a writer instead ] calls me her universe. [ but universe has turned into a black hole ] all I do is suck her soul, all I do is suck her soul, all I do is suck her soul.

Breathe in, cry, cry. [ Don't feed those thoughts they lie, don't feed those thoughts they lie ] You lie, you lie. [ you'll love me till the day you die ] you lie. leave me I will be your demise, I will be your demise, leave me. [ you love me, leave? you won't ] again, you lie why do you like to make me cry. why do you like to make me cry. why

         why

                         why?

[ sinking flying falling ] [ stir me as i sink ] [ hold me as i fly ] [ catch me as i fall ] [ n o ] love me as i fall love me as i f a l l love me as i  f

The Wild In You

The Wild In You

His idea of adventure called for the wild

He wanted a woman in his bed not a mouse

Someone who was happy to walk naked around the house

A woman without boundaries who knew how to play

He was not talking about Rummikub or Scrabble

Life needed excitement not just a little dabble

He needed a woman who defied convention

A woman who was clear about her intention

Open to exploration and invention

A woman who locked modesty in detention

One who would give pleasure both day and night

When they had learned to dance to the same tune

Who could share her life with great abandon

Where each learned how to bend in so many ways

More than the casual offering of a quick fuck

Whose flames were extinguished with a suck

Or services to be exchanged for a measly buck

Where is the wild woman

Are you there

Throw off inhibition

We need to share

Scream out the naughty thoughts

You have hidden there

Tell me you want to invade my lair

Don’t be shy

Don’t be nervous

Don’t be scared

Be the wild in you that must be shared

Light the wick

Let’s burn baby burn

ig saw it first

“I’ll never know if your eyes last focused on the stars or the space between them”

[eefrostpoetry]

with each passing day, i shed my skin and leave behind all that no longer serves my soul

[marigoldjesus]

We're in a lana del rey music video/We went skinny dipping in the lake / the ribbon in my hair drifted away/ under the waning crescent/ violet clouds fall low like mountains in the night sky/ your gaze hangs in my soul / wrapped in a pink starburst of our secret

[dutifullyteenagewitch]

And even after decades,

He still stares at me every now and then.

I could feel the warmth of his gaze on my skin; I would never look back

But if I don’t lie to myself I do look back, just to catch a few glimpses of him...

It’s a mere reflection of how he vexes me,

How he still has that power over me.

And I know he yearns to stare into my eyes too.

And to hold it:

For a few moments,

A few seconds,

Maybe for a few minutes...

Even some hours

For I know love isn’t a thing that could melt away in no time.
