let live. a poem by @luciblackanima
Two mourning eyes
dulled with the force
of impending doom
and the clouds stare,
they stare down
the abyss and wink
at the sadness
displayed in hard lines
and fine lives -
taking pleasure in
smacking lips,
readying itself to kiss
sullen pleasures
of dark tomorrows;
Let us not alter the minds
of the youthful, the carefree,
the dreaming -
let them live, let them breathe,
let them be.

Megan @mmr9212 wrote this and I sung it.
Dirty laundry
I picked up my pants off the floor
I noticed the cum stains from a few nights before
.You know I don’t love you
I told you while we stood connected in that parking lot
It made you clutch me tighter
So I shut my mouth because I felt the sadness in your touch
.I still don’t love you
It’s just you’re so easy to fuck
As long as I pretend you’re someone else it’s so easy
Just don’t speak and I’ll close my eyes
.I folded my pants and put them away with an old song stuck in my head
*He tastes like you only sweeter…
Thanks for the memories even though they weren’t that great…*
They really weren’t that great

As I’m sitting outside tonight underneath an almost full moons light
There’s a million stars in the sky with hardly any clouds obstructing my view
The sound of frogs bellowing across the river fill my ears
And the crickets playing their symphony
My cigarettes burning down to the filter while the smoke hangs heavy in the air
Hanging like that beautiful bright moon
Which makes me wonder… if you’re seeing it too
I wonder what your face would look like in the shadows of the moonlight
What maybe it would feel like to lose myself in you under these stars
To press my salty skin against yours on this hot summer night
Passion like a meteor shower lighting up the skyline
On fire until we disintegrate into one another
The taste of you on my breath can you imagine
…
But I’m just out here stargazing

Ilunga
written by S. E. De Haven @sedehaven
She was once a wife,
but he turned sour
like wine, warm on
a windowsill, to
vinegar. He became
poison, slick with
slime and calling it
~
“culture”.
~
She was twice a wife,
but he turned inward
like an eye, lazy
and wayward. He looked
so far inside himself
that the world fell
like tumblestones–
~
and her too.
~
She was thrice a wife,
but he blew away
like the wind, invisible.
Like sand, he sifted
through her nimble fingers
and into her eyes.
She cried him out,
~
out of her.
~
She is no man’s wife.
She is no man’s lover.
She measures her days
in cups of tea, and
her weeks in books.
Her home is quiet, like
her heart, and she is
~
undisturbed.

Trickle in the flood (written by Jinx, sung by Ryan Lowrie)
Her heart was too big
People’s minds too small
For they couldn’t grasp
Just how deep things cut
They see a trickle
When in fact it’s a flood
She’s drowning in herself
The riptide in her heart
She tries to warn them
Don’t open the gates
But they assure her it’s ok
That they want to swim
But instead
They just open the gates
And disappear
And the trickle becomes the flood

clamour of the divine
stand barefoot in the sand
wait for the soaking tide,
unfocus your eyes
as the waves rise,
peak, tip, and over the edge
of retched and preaching,
now is when you scream
—sustained and vulgar
your voice unhaltered
wail until everything sores
as the water cavorts,
swarms the cut on your foot
unhook your lips from teeth
bellow this unholy screech
