r

I'll wake up
Mundy morning
dead tired
from restless
dreams about
the forbidden sound
of fish on ice,
a harmonica
full of ants,
cat paws that fall
in the night,
the breathing
of waterfalls,
the depth
of mountain roots
and falling soot
from the fires
of Viking pyres.

olive

the color of love

i told you i loved you
in a violet sea
under a setting sky

a magnificent orange
kissed your cheeks
before i could do it myself

we were intertwined
and the youthful night
lied before us

covered in our own colors
our love was even more handsome
and stirred between us

we were blind to the others
and halfway drowned in burnt sienna
when the sun had gone

we filled the empty night
painting the earth
with the color of our love

#love #romance #cute #beautiful #color #colors #freeverse #sunset

Simple

When I see that look on your face,
I smile and know there is space,
for you and I
to be safe.

White trash

I'm just
a bag of skin,
whirling,
in the wind.

I'm plastic
on the beach,
out of place,
and not unique.

I've been stabbed,
and ripped in half,
by some homeless man
picking up trash.

I'm submerged,
underneath,
unwanted things
that rot, that stink.

Anxiety

I keep telling myself
all of this will make me
stronger.
But every day crawls by
and ends with me standing
in the same place.
Dizzy watching the trains
rush by,
waiting
for things to be alright,
because this
chaos should
give up,
eventually
right?

Better

Anything that can be said,
can be said
better.
It's almost if,
it seems as though,
it's dependent on
the weather.
