#teddybluesclues poetry

But, did you save Yourself enough change For the journey home? Or will you collapse at the doorstep of a neighbour's door in a pool of your own gemstone blood? Don't drive and run so far You can never reach home. The roads crossover only so many times till no one hears the calls for help.

Today's the day. The day I tell her I love her. Like, actually love her. A sun and moon and stars and lightning and thunder kind of love. The kind that shakes you to your core. The kind that makes you grow. Like water after a drought. I feel like a tree with her. Like a grand old oak tree against the night sky. Like I could reach for the stars if I tried.

did you?

perseids

[tagetess]

for those who have never been to space:

 the silence will envelop you

            let it

    there will be time to scream, but that time is not now.

  the cold will begin to feel real

            it is 

   sometimes you can feel the teeth gnawing at your skin.

 the smoke in your lungs winds around them 

            pulling tight 

      maybe later you can breathe. maybe someday. 

 the blood in your mouth tastes like the dirt you stand on. 

the light of the many suns illuminate more than can be seen.

the life you left behind sometimes feels like it chokes you.

not with a bang, but a whimper 

[hinatashoyyo]

Raw yourself:

Plaster up your love

And doubt; frame it,

Bolt it to the shelf,

Even if the picture ain’t pretty:

Framed in hair and teeth and feces,

‘Cause that’s your art baby,

A great big broken, beautiful human ugly.

Destiel poetry [15/?]  9 months anniversary special

tardiness

“Someday soon” is a feast for hope. Pepper it with a promise, maybe? Salt it with a longing, huh? Keep on adding some taste, keep on.

Until you find yourself sitting alone at the table. Hey, when did “someday soon” got “too late?

who's your top ten fave poets on tumblr at the moment? is it cool if i ask that? :) i wanna find more poets!!!

@barneswilson -Nathanial’s words are literally just, heartstopping, sometimes I’m just, I feel like I need my inhaler but it’s not an attack it’s just so much emotion my lungs ache from it.

@borrowedgods - Zach is just, his words are sort of like scar tissue over an open wound? I want to bleed, but I’m already healing.

@driftlight - Hannah is, well, there aren't words for the sun Hannah manages to capture, not really.

@blurrifies - Anna is just, one of the best, hands down. Every single word is just a punch to the gut, to the heart, to every vulnerable organ.

@teddybluesclues -Lexi strings words together like fireflies in the night, I don’t really understand how, but she does and every line leaves me craving for something in me that I didn’t realize was still hollow.

@dvoyd - like a toothache for my soul, his words just devastate me with how much they are. 

@fireandsteelofangels -Abby is ridiculously talented? Like, holy fuck.

@poetbitesback Could send the rest of my life reading Olivia’s words and literally never get tired of them. Ever.

@onthejellicoeroad - There’s something to be said for writing as if it’s the only thing you have ever done and the last thing you will ever do. Rika embraces that, fully.

@steebucks - I envy the gift you have, ahnika.

I hate doing this, most times, because I feel like I’m so often tagged in so much beautiful poetry I am always, undoubtedly leaving someone out. But, these wonderful, brilliant writers deserve to be recognized for their unspeakable talent. But if you’d like more poets, check out my blog under the tag, words.

My mother always warned me that monsters lived in beds, not under them. That eyes haunted by moonlight were always darkest the morning after.              But what strange eyes you have.

they will consume you.

[teddybluesclues]

everything we ever were                       was alight with gold. and when they asked us what love was,                  we answered, soft and bright, darling.                                soft and bright.

can you feel it?

[teddybluesclues]

The universe was blessed to have held you,                                                                and so was I.

i wish the universe was more kind

[teddybluesclues]

we burned too bright to last, my love.

such is the tragedy of stars (x)

[teddybluesclues]

Was it painless?                No. Was it necessary?               Always.

an ending always is

[teddybluesclues]

These hands are liars. These hands will hold you. These hands will hold yours. These hands will hold your heart with a gentle ease that you have never known before. These hands seek God. These hands will find God in you. These hands will love you. These hands are liars. These hands will hold your heart, but will break it because it is easier to break then it is to be broken. These hands will feel your heartbeat in their fingertips. These hands will find God in your presence, but will not know how to worship. These hands do not know gentle ease. These hands do not know how to be held. These hands are liars.

but they are seeking truth

[teddybluesclues]

maybe one day we won't feel smothered by our mothers' love. maybe one day we'll be able to hug without leaving bruises on each other's souls. maybe one day, it won't hurt to say your name out loud.  maybe one day, our love won't hurt so much. maybe one day, we'll let it live.

love needs space to breathe, after all

[teddybluesclues]

my blood blossoms with bruises under your touch

you leave me aching

[teddybluesclues]

Death smells sickly sweet. That's what they tell you.                               It figures I loved your scent.

you were the end.
