this is not a poem
          
          

                       *just a mere


image
consisting of

                                         straight lines
and curves
So it starts with your eyes.
A stare. The glare.
They shimmer on me like Christmas lights.
The moon is your maker, the sun works in favor, with you and your smile.
Reflecting light on what once was hostile.
A frown you once wore, but the crown "OH, IT'S YOURS."
I made you this crown from the skin on my bones.
Please wear it so that I know this was not in vain, and in my veins I feel the lingering pain of your fingertips touching her skin.
Please wear it because maybe then, I'll hear you say my name.
You struck the match and now the fireworks won't go away, but from you I will quickly..
fade. fade. fade. fade...
But you see you are not who makes me free.
That is ME.
And you are not who makes me see.
That is ME.
And OH GOD ALMIGHTY, he knows how much I have longed for your touch, because I wanted to see.
I wanted he whom I crave to make me feel free.
But I will no longer depend on the reflection of your sun to make me bright.
The moon still as beautiful, but OH NO, It wont remind me of you, remind me of how your hues subdue, me.
You are nausea and confusion.
Your words are poison and I'm tired of listening.
Your smile still enchanting, your eyes still gems.
But perhaps I was not the one to be blessed.
I'll take my crown back, "Thank You"
Not because I didn't appreciate you,
but perhaps now is not the right time for you.

you spin me up
expecting heads or tails

but I have learned to levitate

Lauren A Todd
In 1860
A lawyer stated,
“You are what you eat.”

He could not have known
How I ingest each word
As it falls from your mouth.

I devour each look
As you pretend not to see.

And as you laugh to yourself,
I find I've lost my appetite.

When you enter a room,
I’m lost in the feast
Of loving you.

And with each touch
I shiver with hunger.

But when you peek
Through the length of your eyelashes,
I am full again.
we are closer to heaven than we are to hell
because to rise up we must truly fall
you are worth it

we trampled on jewelry shops
in shoes of italian leather
we tore up people and places
justified
let other people clean up
the mess we had made
inspired by Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby
