the ocean batters
reckless waves and constant storms
but the rock is still

It does not matter
anymore but that does not
mean it does not hurt

23/6/23

i admired you from afar.
you’re completely unaware,
of how lovely you are.
i can’t do anything but stare.

you catch a gaze,
our smiles soften.
my heart is set ablaze.
i wish i could feel this way often.

although this just begun,
i’m falling fast.
i’d pick you over anyone.
i hope this feeling lasts.

a.b.

Salivating, you swirl around my tongue.
My taste buds drown in your pleasure.
My teeth stand strong, knees weak.
The moment is gone.
Draining down the throat.
My teeth rot. My brain begins to frenzy.
My tongue longs again for your affection.
Clammy fingers fumble the bag.
Salivating once more,
Hand comes to mouth.

An itch I cannot proclaim
Through the salt and remains
That drips through my eyes

I yell, I scream and I beg
Entombed forever in your silent
Disregard, so scared

Of making the waves move.

Close and shut, these pearls
They are but a shame
My weakness and your fragility

All on display for everyone to wear.

Covering up my tones with your
Sand infested ears
You shamble away in rage and disarray

I am still your pearl, still

You let the ocean take my name.
