Maybe what makes a guy attractive is that he doesn’t want you.
Maybe that applies to everyone. Not just men.
But people gasp into the desperation of finding someone
Scavenging on the apps
Leaking their life force into these phones
They know it’s wrong
But they’re reassured by others
That’s it’s the way ahead
Like a beggar
Telling another beggar
Where to find some bread.
Get out of the cycle
Get out of your head
Drink up life like it’s water
Life like you already have someone
Instead.
His eyes dart frantically, his palms are sweating as they slide against each other He grits his teeth trying to keep them one He looks up at the old man The sun is in his eyes, He hears voices around- Are they talking about him? Are they saying he shouldn’t be here, That he’s not worthy, That he’s not worth the soot they sweep off the temple floor His jaw clenches and he swallows. He can’t show the master his fear He’d rather die than prove everybody right He exhales and open his eyes.
Birds chirp. The master smiles. So much emotion So much desperation All just to say hi.
My eyes squinted with laughter. I loved the story she was telling. Her blonde hair flowing like a river, now white and salt and peppered, framing the crevices in her face. She smiled and coughed, her hand reaching out for support. I held her as I read her eulogy, the rain mingling with the dirt above her tomb. The rain hits the back of my neck, my eyes blacken when my time has run out too.
smiles in the sun splashes on their feet rays in my eyes but I’m grateful for the heat
this place people come to to simply just exist a stream and a rainbow & cliffs sea salt kissed
laughter is the clouds in a sky gold and red kids jump and run and adults they play pretend
time has well clocked out and life’s become its friend but shall I ruin the moment by fearing it will end?
When I look in the mirror, I see someone I love. her exhale is my parachute as I fall into her skin.
her hair unfurls as the tendrils in my neck melt. her breath is the sigh of the sea on my ear Urging me to relax allowing me to be.
it wasn’t always this easy trusting her
but now i do
because I know what she likes i know what she doesn’t
i’ve always wondered how to know. but what I didn’t know was… she was telling me all along all i had to do
was listen
