In your body I can breathe, your fragrance, my exhale, your voice, my internal sigh. The bed is our familiar, so hard for us to go. To leave this oasis, where we fit so mosaic like cherry blossoms in spring or rooftops filled with rain. I hate how vapid I become as I stargaze at the sun. Leave me dozy, laughable at best, dumbstruck devotion. You are my only. Tu es mon amour.

Vapidly dumbstruck
Words like water, oh how the speech can delay. Dripping eloquent but lost to rivers, indulged in deluge, overwhelmed in expression, comments and decree. I want you here, oceans away. How can I touch the chatter, be diluted in a voice. Move me with your extract, alluded, trembling from afar. Waking up to different sides of the moon I need you here, sunshines away. and the blades from petals still stabbed like it was torture though it crumbled in effect why the trouble for pistol flowers when aching is within a splinter. Something so beautiful, lost to an operating system. Quiet rumbles, not big enough to make a sound. Even if I screamed, my vocals typed to characters, you would not, could not hear my strain. Efflorescence, our love it blooms. Flourished in email, video plays, stills. Across the ocean I came, to wake up in the sunshine, with the moon at our side. Sprouting up new love, greater than we thought equip. Even through storms, snow, rain, I am ecstatic here, your body I call my house, your smile I call my home.

Your smile I call my home.
There's nothing like, that heart breaking feeling of realising all your work was meaningless. The time and effort. The thoughts imploded. Cheeky grins  and hidden sighs, wasted on an evening. Nothing like utter failure, to take you back to gloom. Heart in your throat; choking back your stamina. What felt like a real connection, turned into just another bottle. Perhaps tomorrow you'll think of me, sober and agonised.  Steal a kiss between coffee breaks, and admit that you were scared. But I doubt that'll be the case, unsightly girls like I, never get to relish in their feat.

Lucked out
How they move, skin aching. Tenants weeping; Sudden. Their bodies outcry. Dance and frighten each other into their skin. Turning bones into shadows, Light into darkness. They leap, Falling into colour, into hues; Saturated. Two girls; short hair; linger. Lustfully. Eroding, Over dessert suns from each others body heat. I wanted to tell them, It would all get better. That gloom might start to overlook your love, But soon the luminescence will radiate the dark, While you crumble into one another.

The art of young love
Excited fingertips Tapping high notes Just outside my door. Their parallel delirium dithered unshackled in the air. “How could it be so funny?” So many long years together to snigger at the joke. Such an extensive lifetime; he still manages to makes her laugh. Caught vague and ****** I am the troll sullen in my cave. Decrepit The cave-dwelling brute, scowling lone amid her haven. Their cackles won’t stop And my retreat is just a shelter That that keeps out all the rest.

Let me take a dip Among all your fevered kinks. Leave me saturated and tense. Swallow whole; your hysteria and guilt. Walk the night without a change of view. Sleep noble decadent, Providing you leave before daybreak sets the scene. A quiet night Of internal sighs; Ringing in your ear. No need for an act of pretence; Make sure to quit while you’re ahead. Don’t fool a heart with flattery. Nonessential encouragement Only further stretched the blame. Just let me domesticate the beast, And for an instant live inside its pain.

One night soon
Feeding my fetish whims through compromise; He dangles right in front of me. Such an easy task to slit his throat and watch him bleed. But like a cat I prefer it utmost when I play vicious with my tea. Wearied tedious without a mouse Between my claws; Let me gorge you just to mollify a need Fruitful *********** Foolishness at best. You’ll leave me empty handed But my teeth marks left a mark And my fangs still made you bleed.

Power struggle
You were a saturated colour against an endless field of grey. Florescent beauty; You wore your smile like a crown of roses. For months I watched you try to find water in a *** of dirt. You just blossomed so quickly that I could not feed you fast enough. I’m sorry if that made you weak, or made you wilt. I’m sorry if it made you feel like you weren’t my evergreen. You were my evermore, my everlasting, my everything.

I am a self-made machine. I respond to admiration and attention. Selfish being unsure of the right response. Wires tampered; my mouth a dribbling mess. proclaiming my love to everyman and hiding as soon as a retort. There is no love within my jaw. I often ponder, am I fueled by normality? Doing what we're designed to do? Perhaps the world whispered to me that women need to be a constant yearning; Hungry skin under ****** bones never satisfied. thought churned into mush but still so hard to swallow. I find desperation. Mere affectionate action, making my stomach bleed. Though as they waltz away, I thirst for their hand to cup my shoulder blade hand to their shoulder seam. What is a girl supposed to do. Love pushes itself against me and I find myself ungracefully turning all that pleading for appreciation straight into the void.

It's international womens day, here's a poem about being one
So many times Trying to turn reasons Into rhymes Newest muse Desperate attempt Only to fall short As soon as attention Noticed Wide eyed girl Obsessed may I Lacking depth As soon as Emotions copied Or furthermore Replaced Gravity With weights and stools Climbing higher Reaching further Grasping air While the painted red smile Walked further north And the Abled girl With wide frames; golden bay Lingered patterned Against broken scooters and watched While I made a fool over feet In autumn leaves and new beginnings You held my arm While minds wander Of heavenly thought Of what it would be like To hold your hand And not mess it up With my idiotic tongue And presumptuous lip Always rushing Like one constant race When the rules Clearly states Walk not run Try to slow my tracking feet From making another big leap Intensively driven Pretty glass eyes girl Did you want me to admit my defeat?
