Nervous
Jenovah Jun 2016
Nervous; When I think about you.
Nervous; When you touch my skin.
Nervous; When you look me in the eyes.
Nervous; When you kiss my lips.
Nervous; When you hold my hand.

-Weak in the knees, I tremble thinking
about how much I love everything about you.
From the the freckles on your ear
lobe, to the way you sing in the car.
I bite my cheeks to keep from struggling on my words-


Nervous; When I want to tell you how I feel.
Nervous; Because I want to cling to you.
Nervous; When we take off our clothes.
Nervous; When you tell me I'm beautiful.
Nervous; Because I don't want to lose you.

numbers
Jenovah May 2017
I thought the only way to be to **** was

The length of our hairs

Or the width of our torsos

Even the shape of our fingernails

And most of all, the digital weight

Of our entire being

Two decades have passed

And the surest thing I know in this world

Is that I never liked math.

Sunlight
Jenovah Feb 2019
Sunlight coming in through the window and resting on my inner thigh
The warmth reminds me of the soft kisses
That your sacred lips once left behind

Feels like
Jenovah Apr 2015
Have you ever just felt entirely small?
   Has your heart beat so fast you were sure
           it was going to explode?
Did your legs tell you to run but you couldn't?
                            
                                                 Does your head feel all light?
And your eyes a bit blurry?
You're not suffocating yet it feels like you are right?
  
             Do you have OCD? Or ADD?
   Does the style of this poetry,

                                                        ­             give
you
                          Anxiety?

I Would
Jenovah Mar 2015
I would still kiss you when you wake in the morning.
I would still hold you when you fight me.
I would still smile at your mother, even when she says I'm no good.
I would still laugh after hearing the same jokes.
I would still hold your hand when it's warm out.
I would still love you at your very wost.
...But only if I could...

Do you
Jenovah Oct 2017
Do you want to have it all with me?
Reflect a sunset in your eyes?
Breathe in salty sea air and watch the moon rise?
Overlook a valley from a mountain?
Warm yourself from a fireplace
In a cozy woodland cabin?
Laugh on rooftops under city lights?
See the world for all its sights?
Love me tenderly and dream it with me.
Away well go, where we are free.

Fears
Jenovah Apr 2019
Rooted to this place I am
Stuck in my own head space
Drifting on a thought
But I never settle
On just one
It is far to vast in here
The voices sing
Me songs and
Tell me my fears
Lay them out on the table
They tell me to get the ****
Over it and face them

Water
Jenovah Dec 2016
Fingers that laced throughout my hair;
Fingers that held me under water.

The rhythm of calm waves through my follicles;
The crashing of waves onto my body.

Feeling of being sea-sick on a small boat;
Feeling of being sick with thoughts of you.

Smell of salt in the air on a windy day;
Smell of salt from the fear in my sweat.

Picking up seashells under my feet;
Picking out shattered glass within my feet.

The sounds of the wind and the sea;
The sounds of yelling between you and me.

In the moment I think of apeaceful ocean;
The moments before I slip under the water.

Grasp
Jenovah Jul 2022
Reaching outward
Fingers spread
Like  a wing

The primitive fruit
Just beyond grasp

A worm surfaces
whom which a bird plucks;
For the fruit is
In its reach

I am envious

ships
Jenovah Sep 2016
We had the world at our fingertips.
We were gold plated and heartfelt. In an open sea, just two ships.
We got lost out there from the world but it was the same horizon day after day.
Soon, the  world felt small.We no longer had words so say.
Now we're just copper plated and the love has faded.

void
Jenovah May 2015
There was a void inside you.
A lonely dark hole you were eager
to fill.
There was nobody to tell you everything was ok; until you met me.
I listened and picked up your peices when
you were sad.
I promised to always be there for you.
And I only wanted the same thing, for
I to had a void.
But it was only for the moment.
Temporary promises, and temporary love.
Soon people fell back into your life;
you no longer needed me.
And I soon ceased to exist in your world.
...but I still needed you..

Jenovah Mar 2016
Your body pressed against mine.
Breath hot, panting against my neck.
One...
  Two...
    Three...
Your rhythm speeds up, and your panting heavier now.
                         Nails;
I dig them into to your skin and your hands wrap around my neck and
One...
  Two...
   Three...
You lay still next to me, sweaty and catching your breath.
                        Its done.
And I was only good for the moment.
One...
  Two...
    Three...
You're fast asleep.

Forest witch shakes the bag
Which, holds the pliered-out
Teeth she’s collected

But we only heard the crackling

The belly
Jenovah Dec 2019
It broke me down into mere morsels
Which will eventually
Be consumed into
The belly of the beast
Which is my beloved
Close-knit “society”
Of friends
Or
Who I thought were friends
Anyways


they will continue
To thirst and hunger
For my selfless
Appreciation and kindness
And in the end when
I am
Only bones
-After they have already picked my
Ribs clean-
They will peer into my
Empty chest;
That is the moment
They will know
I am finally gone

Then the thirst and hunger
Will come again
And they will in turn
Consume each other
300 · Feb 2016
you are
Jenovah Feb 2016
The feeling when my stomach is sick.
You're metal grinding against my teeth,
and you're every cold , brutal winter.

You're a tumor in my brain,
and the life inside my pill box.
You're the very reason I won't wake up tomorrow.

Cement
Jenovah Mar 2016
You're the first drag of a fresh cigarette, and I know I shouldn't.
Smoke filling my lungs, like your words fill my head.
Heart  heavy like cement inside my chest, while I slowly undress.

Butterfly's in my stomach?
Or just acidic regrets;



Do I really want this?

what it's like
Jenovah Dec 2014
Loving you is like;
Watching my favorite movie for the first time.
Sleeping with the perfect temperature.
Coffee on a restless day.
Cake on my birthday.
Snow on Christmas.
Beating my favorite game.
And my god, I've never heard a laugh like yours;
voice smooth like honey.
And *******, your lips I want to taste;
over and over again.
And I want to feel this way, all the time, every day.
And that's...
.. what it's like to love you.

perfect
Jenovah Aug 2016
Your funny-sweet personality fitted with sweet nothings only we know.
It's perfect, you're perfect.
Eyes like  green exotic nebulas beyond the atmosphere.
Lips soft and mauve, teeth like ivory cut from sacred temples.
Hair a wispy brown nest I could run my fingers through forever.
Skin soft like the finest of silks;
I can't help but to want push mine against it.
A laugh that could reverberate for light years inside my head.
Contagious, perfect.
You're like a liquid drug in my veins and I'm entirely addicted.
I need you, I want you.
I feel alive with you, I feel right with you.
I feel perfect with you.
Give me another dose baby, let me feel that perfection again and again.

Blaze
Jenovah Apr 2019
You lit me up
When I first saw you
Started a fire inside of me  
The way you
Touched the flame
Of a cigarette
To his face
And burned him
The heat crept up inside of me
And sent my body buzzing
My temperature rising
Set my world ablaze and
I knew I had to taste to you
Had to feel you
Wanted you to **** me up
And burn it all to the ground
Wanted you to light me up
Like the cigarette between your lips
That you put on his flesh
Kiss me hot to the touch
leave me  scorched
Into a pile of ashes
Then roll me up
Into a smoke
And do it all over again.
Sorry if there’s typos tired; based on real life experience

Don't
Jenovah Feb 2016
Don’t…don’t tell me you miss me.
Not when I see it. When I see you and her…just don’t.

Don’t tell me you’ll always be there for me, please don't.

I love you, you say to her; I swear you had just said it to me, but oh god please don’t.

Don’t tell me you miss the memories with me and still hold it close to you’re heart.

Just…****…please don’t;
Break my heart any further, because you know I just can’t ******* let go…baby…just don’t.

I'll think about it
Jenovah Jan 2016
Undescribable emotions leading to spontaneous actions.
You were here with me, suddenly.
We were together, blissfully, like starlight against clouds.
...time...skipped a beat.
We didn't know each other anymore.
I only felt sick, and angry.
Fighting through tears and gritted teeth.
Gone.
Away you went and you'll never think about it.
Now you know you left your love behind the first time.
I was right.
...time...skipped a beat.
Here I am on my bed.
I feel it.
All of it.
The sadness.
The loneliness.
The  sorrow.
I'll think about it, but you won't.

Light
Jenovah May 2019
I radiate light my dear
Divine, milky, plus-size sphere
Mysterious femininity at my axis
Boys orbit my Atmosphere
But the brave land their ships
On my marvelous mountains
And equisite garden
I am an ambassador for
Mother Earth
Come taste the freshest rain
And view the prettiest flower
I keep secret between
The space where I can
Make fantasies come true

Tell Me
Jenovah Jul 2016
Hot heavy air, and I was wet all over. But I didn't care about the heat I still wanted you to hold me. I didn't mind if my makeup melted away, anything to stand beside you. But the nights were cooler, we could slow it down and absorb every bit of each other.
Tell me your thoughts, your wants, your fears.
Tell me underneath a starlit-midnight sky.
Tell me in your car while were lost in the moment.
Tell me while we lie in bed with our skin is touching.
Sing me your favorite songs and know that if I'm staring silently at you, I'm admiring everything about you.
But tell me baby, tell me.
Tell me you don't want this to end.
Tell me I'm the only one.
Tell me you'll never let me go.
Tell me.

? (Just a thought)
Jenovah Jun 2019
I mostly miss
The space
  Where I
Pressed
My face
Into  your
   Sternum
And breathed in
Salty skin
But not the
Way skin is
    Salty
But the way yours  is
Mixed with
Old cologne
and smells
Like home
Your chin
   Hairs rested
On top
Of
       My
               Head
And
            The
One time
You said I was
Your soul
Mate
I felt
Myself leap
Out of my flesh
And savored the
Moment
Now the space
Where my head
Rested
On
         Your
Sternum
Is someone
Else’s favorite
Spot
I wonder how
You smell to them
And if you
Think they are
Your soulmate

Kitchen Sink
Jenovah Apr 2021
Pour me effortlessly down the drain
As if I were expired milk in the morning
Pour me through your fingers
Let me flow away like slippery
Ribbons down the void
In your kitchen

In the sink

In the ******* kitchen sink

life force
Jenovah Dec 2017
Take away my oxygen
And cradle my life force in your hands
The same hands that destroyed my walls
The hands that lifted me up
Off the floor when I couldn't do it anymore
Lay me down for my eternal rest
Hold me in those hands
Until I take my last breath
Let me feel you run them through my hair
While my lungs run out of air
Rest them upon my heart while I sleep
Let those steady hands run over
My skin, then repeat
.
.
.

Repeat

Repeat

Until the last beat

Jenovah Jan 2019
Her
But also me
She is there holding
All my confidence
Dreams and desires
In her hands
My hands
Our hands
Except I can’t keep my grasp
On the better parts
She sees  a pretty face in the mirror
Her face
My face
Our face
When I peer into the glass
I cannot see it
I see hollow eyes
My eyes
Her eyes
Our eyes
Enshadowed by sleepless nights
Within me is hate
Within her is love
Her love my hate
But also my love
And her hate
Some days she gets out
Of bed before Me
The day starts and she is happy
I am happy
We are happy
But if I wake first
The sadness prevails
I ache
She aches
We ache
Written about did and dpd

Shedding
Jenovah Aug 2023
Shedding my skin again
Dust off my bones
Beginning again

Crawl out of the cocoon
See new light
I will spread my wings soon

Wake from hibernation
Wipe sleep from my eyes
I’m a whole new creation

Crack open the shell
Taste newly fallen rain
It is time I prevail

Star dust
Jenovah May 2019
You are like raindrops resting on soil
Flow into me like water
Gentle, as I am still a flower in bloom
Give me sunlit skies
And hold me to your chest;
I am still healing
Tell me about far off galaxies
And how you gaze  at stars
Wishing you could hold them in your hands
For light years they live in the skies
Only to burn so beautifuly
In the atmosphere
And we capture the experience in our memories
And admire blazing star dust
For  only seconds at a time

Prism
Jenovah Dec 2018
I stared at the  walls that swallowed up our moans while
My body drank
Up the moon light
That poured in from the window
I could still feel the wetness
From your tongue
Like raindrops
Resting on the petals of
My feminity
I could see the map
Your fingers
Traced along my skin
like Fresh water colors on an open canvas
Pheromones coat the air
Like  the way  lilacs do in the summer
Soft breaths whispering
as your lungs
Inflated and deflated
You the resting knight
Who crumbled my castle walls
The knight who vanquished my fears
In the dark of my canopy bed
Where I had  surrendered
And let the moment devour me
We became a euphoric
Prism of passion
On silken sheets
Then we drifted away into sleep

Moths
Jenovah Sep 2019
While my life is mostly bleak
You are my favorite day of the week
My lips against your cheek made me think
I could do it again

These ******* butterflies again
They will soon turn into moths
And eat me from within

I will pick you flowers
place them in your hair
And listen to you sing for hours

But will they wilt?
When the days don’t feel the same
Will you fill up with guilt?

When you are sick of me
And I’m not the one you seek
Anymore, you will still be my
Favorite day of the week

When someone else takes up
The space in your bed
And the moths are all dead

I will collect their carcasses
And wilted flowers
Then keep them in a jar
With a label that will say

“Tuesday”
For a girl

Along the way
When I let the wrong people
Hold my heart close to them
Only to take it to places
That it didn’t belong

didn’t welcome me
For all that I am.
I didn’t belong
With you, maybe.
But I was and still am

Searching for

On days like today
Where lazy fog
Hangs heavy

Before I have to face
Another winter morning
I absolutely hate mornings, especially in winter

I just hope you
Are still here to
Welcome me back
From the shadows
I am just working through some things
