Can you feel the endless plight? Constantly twisting and turning in thai endless night
Come closer it whispers Cold hands wrapping i’m starting to blister
Choices have been made Can’t you come to my aid?
Claustrophobia is closing in Carcasses of my rotting sin
Come save me Come help me Come please
Miasma above will cling to our love. Match each movement, am I enough?
Mesmerized by your sardonic eyes—
murky and mysterious—
my demise.
“Men will come and men will go,” More I say, less I know. Minds apart in a slicing flow, Motion halts in a violent kiss, My mantra is this: Make me bleed… let it show. Make me bleed…I won’t say no.
Mirror my movements, concealed in silk.
Marks on skin, sharp as our desire.
Make me crave that metallic savor, Mimic the blood on my ruby, red lips. Make me unravel, silk by silk.
Miasma above clings to our love. My push, your pull—a final shove.
Chocolate and candies, Cats purring loudly, Candles unburdened Could it be Love?
Courage unbound Crystal clear truths, Clouds shaped like tears, Could it be You?
Castles of sand, Cupcakes too sweet, Coffee in bed, Could it be me?
Cities that burn! Circus of death! Cars hitting walls! Could it be War?
Crying for help Cruel as the dark, Compassion that saves, Could it be Life?
Carrying me Home, Celestial light, Creation renewed Could it be God!
“May I?”He murmured sweetly Maybe so, I replied jokingly meekly Mother will be watching, busy as ever Making herself look bustling and clever Man up, I teased and don’t be a sissy Mother’s kind, but fathers tricky Mind his size and move with care Meet his eyes? Best beware Marshmallow he is not be quick Mean and fierce he won’t miss a trick Make it fast if it’s a kiss you’re after Mark my words he’ll chase you with laughter Many have tried, mistaking his might Mistaken his strength at sixty’s height Missing in action is what was said Maybe just maybe they are all dead.
Bittersweet it is to glance up on you Beauty beheld in your eyes that perhaps I have only seen Breath up on my cheek I yearn to feel Brutal it is not to know the taste of your lips
Break after break I feel a piece of my heart fall off Blossom I wish we would But we should not even touch, or look at one another for too long Bodily urge to land to a flock of touch upon your face
Beast of my desire, growing stronger as the nights become longer Bursting into flames with each forbidden thought Beyond physicality, your mind bewilders me Born to be upon you, yet beaten back like a swatted fly
I messed up again Isn't it lovely to the dark, Inconsiderate to the light. I mean, how did I get here In one moment I'm laughing, In an instant, I'm back. In what world is that sane? Is this normal or what? Instructions anyone? I'm starting out. Is anyone hiring? (I say sarcastically) I guess this is what failure feels like. I know this is what failure feels like. In this moment I want to crawl, Into a compacted ball. Illuminating what I want to be seen by. • • • I'm ashamed I'd be lying for the plot if things ended there. I was down I felt wrong for what I put you through. In that moment you were hurt but you still said, I Quote “Sit with me for a little while” I'm happy since that day, Jesus held my hand.
Jam spilling off your wheat bread, Joke that you had too much to drink, Jar still sitting on your bed.
Jealousy’s fine, but so is trust, Just don’t let promises turn to dust, Jet-legged and high, they say we must.
Jackets are out of season, Jaded, I search for a reason.
Journaling with my head in your lap, Juice drips down your back, Jaw perfectfly in-tact.
Jail won’t be the end of this fight— Just don’t forget to say goodnight.
Kiss me until the sea runs dry Kneel with me and watch the sky
Keen eyes see feelings buried deep down Kind hearts fill with love until they drown
Kerosene surrounds us, engulfing us in flames Knots of my longing for you tighten, is this one of cupids cruel games?
Keeping you close, in the warmth of our fire Kind of knew our relationship would turn out dire
Knives cut deep, fire burns through, but nothing hurts more than all my love left for you
——————
Another short poem, I want to try and get my streak back but don’t hold me to that, I probably won’t post for another week or two as usual
Easy for you to say Enjoy, go with the flow Eagles fly free of restraint Elephants already move slow
Ecosystems they’re made for Elsewhere in this vast world Except I’m standing too close Edge of a cliff, my stress and Enjoyment are blurred
Enough I say, I relate to Endangered species too much Everything’s great until the Environment loses its touch
Emptiness doesn’t fit in my schedule Each hole only holds a breakdown Engage with your world Engineer life to fit, your Existence is an Enormous playground
