F/Brazil Poetry is consuming my life. I'm stuck between loving and hating the words that come out of me. This feels like a safe space to share my overly dramatic self, though.
It gets quite ridiculous      When you compare            Our uneven efforts I thought we could make each other asymmetrically happy I was wrong. There was no                _thrill_ There was a c t i o n

Asymmetrical
You only want me flawed To do what you cannot - Accept your own mess Love yourself to the best It's a selfish desire Dire wolves to be fed I am earth, not your soul Never plastic, I'm flesh Unbound by blinding lights Strong emotions, distress Insecurities, true But no fear I confess My weak flesh is now new Muscles, stronger, I said "Bullet-proof, self-preserved To feel nothing, I guess"

Flawed
It's so hard to stop So hard to let go Of happiness, of joy But also of the ghosts That keep Our sorrows _We find comfort in the familiar darkness_

Familiar things
the taste of your grass the feel of your silk in my mind, it lasts my hands on your hips my mountains are soft my branches have leaves they shiver in thoughts of feeling your bliss we stand as two rocks through caverns, we reach unexplored insides with fingers and lips the deeper we go the warmer we feel there're no greater joys than your sounds and your kiss

I write in this imperfect language Like many others, imperfectly fine These words are my choice; if empty They served my heart just right It's not my first, neither my last But the one I picked to try To find myself and then the world I hope it may survive The beauty of these phrases Is the freedom they provide

I'm so used to being leftovers that I wonder if there's anything left

You taught me how to keep my back straight How to believe, how to want more You taught me how to look out for myself To have faith, to hope _Care_ _Save_ _Love_ I still try to live by those tenets Even if they are now meaningless To endure hunger and thirst To feed my souls with better seeds But the soil won’t hold The wind is refreshing And, as with everything else It’s a memory of something I can’t have

Bad soil
Even in the dark blue light My thoughts still drip in red As this passion is consumed The tides rise ahead Even in the blackest hours of the night There’s a beacon of hope up there Blinking in its yellow glow Something to keep me aware But some things are not to be heard Or to be seen in the raw daylight I draw no lines between exhaustion and devotion My sins are not so big in the dark If they keep us enclosed, I won't mind Close, rising, then crashing from hights Cracking walls between realities Cliffs next to the water, breaking outside I know this is far from love But it’s close enough, somehow If I’m the fire that burns in red You’re the fireplace that contains my light

May our words be enough one day May we enjoy it while they aren’t
