goosebumps linger
long after hungry lips
are christened

and little shivers
still spark down the length of me

i let them, for the moment
take me.

*I don’t want to wrestle with the dark just yet

i try my best to take care of you but all you do is cry about how nobody cares

i feel like people forget that humans can die naturally.
i mean we're all so used to cancer taking our loved one's lives but
some people just sleep and don't wake up again and
i somehow manage to find that type of death beautiful.
is this horrible?  i can't tell

I've wanted to ask you
To marry me
More times than
I can count
But I know
*You'd say no.

pluie d'été
I want to be awoken
By a dream
At two in the morning
And miss him
So hard
That my entire
Body aches

I want to see him
In the street
Plagued by illusions
Over and over
Until I start to lose my mind

I want to write him love letters
That I send
Or keep in a box
Always ending in
‘I love you’

I want to cry
At the sound of his voice
When he can’t stand being apart from me
And I want to cry again
When he hangs up
(He can’t bare to hear
The sound of my voice)

I want to ponder life
With
And without him
At the edge of a cliff
As I walk into the tide

I want to love him
Forever
And jump
When you touch me
In a way he used to

I want to write poems about him
And read all the letters he sent me
When we were happy
And when we were sad
And when he was angry
And try find the secret
That was screamed
At the both of us
That made everything
Not enough

I want to feel his feelings
Across a room
And leave because it hurts too much to stay

I want to learn
About him
And people
But mostly about me
When he’s gone

I want my heart to be broken
By a love
That really matters

I cannot help but to write
Some fickle array of words
About the loveliest of girls
That I asked to dance one night

You stay on my mind all the time
And the sight of your glowing skin
Alights this heart of mine
Since that ball where we began

Many splendid summers since
You still put life into my soul
Pure and sweet without pretense
Is this our love of limits untold

My dear, I cherish ev'ry day
Of this love we share, free of dismay
This is a poem that would fit into the fiction of the classic novel "Evelina," and being written by Lord Orville, the love interest of Evelina, the protagonist. It's a simple sonnet, and the rhymes are cheap. Whatever.

beauty

i passed a woman walking her dog while on my evening stroll the other day.
her blonde hair curled at the ends, smile-lines appeared as if there were drawn in with a 2b pencil and her eyes shone like fresh uranium.
words like small, big, skinny, fat, ugly, and pretty shouldn't be used to describe beauty or lack of thereof.
******* it, people
