oui* is the most beautiful word-
it reminds me of us.
we are a temple
sacred creatures looking for love.
but is it love we seek?
what about love has such a sweet serenity to it?
the word itself flirts
with danger and pain.
why do we wish for love?
love itself is so complicated.
do we seek to be loved
or to be able to love another?
I have felt this only one time
that has been as powerful as myths.
unknowingly, you have granted this to me,
this unhidden lust for love.
although we remain mostly platonic,
there is a fire underneath, itching to be released.
every touch is a burn,
and the heat rises with a simple hug.
our bodies fit together perfectly,
as if  they were made for each other.
teasing, touching, needing, loving;
you are like a drug I just can't quit.
when my honored eyes
are blessed to be cast upon you,
your perfect imperfections
and angelic self,
"two blushing pilgrims ready stand,"
always eager for a kiss.
I wish I had a chance
just one kiss.
I could prove myself to you,
how no one has ever loved somebody the way I love you.
although you are not mine,
at least, not yet
I await the day
I get to look at you and think that I have come
*home
ugh

Cover my wound and I'll cover yours.
Protect what's healing;
Be the time that's needed.
Act as each other's waterproof shield,
guard what's bleeding under our sleeve.
Cover the wounds until it's time to show off the scars.
One day, I'll show them off with pride.
But until then...
Let's be each others bandaid.
I'll cover your wound and you cover mine.

They search
Within their shadowed halls
They search
Keeping their minds locked away
They search
For monsters that crave silence
They reach
The gallows their mouths traced along

She wrote stories
On the stars that
His every sigh let go
And they danced on constellations
With the song of the waning moon
And yet somehow their stardust trails
Seemed to lead where
Their hearts didn't lay

Yourself

Love yourself.
Your own happiness is important.
Worship your body.
You don't need a man for that.
Enlighten yourself
Spiritually and mentally.
Laugh, cry, scream,
Feel everything and anything.
Embrace life and positivity.
Accept your flaws.
Forgive your mistakes.
Rediscover your identity.
Say goodbye to all the poison.
You are strong.
You are beautiful.
Show love and compassion.
Fight your fears and the hate.
Overcome them but don't forget them.
Be a lady.
Be brilliant.
Do not let anyone own you.
You deserve the best.
You are the best.

Sweetest Kill

The pastures of my sanity lie between
the first kiss of my lips
and making macaroni and cheese for one.

I’m not fluent in French
but I can speak in tongues,
better than any linguist.

And lust.
My favorite word to say,
and be.

Touch my finger to my lip,
have I gotten your attention yet?

The more I pretend to love,
the more I love to hate.

A silly game,
I’m playing it,
with you.

But the more of you I kiss,
the less of you I like.

And now,
I
the object of your so called affection,
have poisoned you
with foreshortened importance,
and plead with you-
to please retreat.

Yet you still crave me,
like some ignorant child
who’s never believed in candy
until someone told them,
it’s quite sweet.
