'people come in your life, and people go,'

that phrase is sinful, that phrase is brutal.

if you come across a gentle soul, one that touches your heart,
don't let them
go.

if people move your soul to dance,
keep them there with you.

Maybe the good in your life is meant to come in,
and
stay,

for more than a little while.
in 2013, a few months after I was released from a long term treatment facility that tried to heal my depression, my want to die, I met a boy. His name was Zach, and we fell in love. We didn't fall sexually in love, but we fell into a slow progression of an understatement for one other. We became connected spiritually. However, after a few years, our love for one another faded. He wrote me a love letter in 2014, sprayed it with perfume and colored the paper in water colors. That was around the time we stopped talking. Now, years and years later, he's gone. Like a ghost of a dead person. All of his social media is gone. I don't know whether or not he is still breathing . It hurts terribly not to know, though. I should've kept him closer. I regret the loss of him more than almost anything.

...
a dance of sun waves,
the silver crescent shadows of a fearful moon.

under the open sky,
under the multitude of colors from empty rainbows.

we kissed in secret,
hiding behind the big oak tree.

g
we are the wild youth.

with lungs full of ocean water and ribs stained red with sunsets and roses

we have lilacs and honey dripping from our frozen fingertips

with watermelon smiles and candle wax eyes, we pull at our star dusted skin

and howl to the moon.

and with heads full of midnight and our veins swimming in twilight,

we dream our big dreams and pull down the stars, begging for our wishes to

come true
thank you for the daily! im so thankful and in awe of all the lovely feedback, i cant thank you all enough

Small enough, curled upon your lap,
I grip your skin, struggle to dig my way inside.

You smell like leather and medicinal gin,
You smell like stale cigarettes and dissipated tears

with you, I feel sea-girt.

You call my name,
like a quissiental redolent of living.

this abuse of desire,
Is something I crave.

desolate, raging waves,
breathe in and out,
like a philippic of breaking glass.

fragmented pieces of water,
sharp and hostile; a parallelism of one's own swain.

“I could drown with you,”
I uttered, “I could fade away like these waves soon will.”

you kissed like a starving child,
you kissed like it was your last.

heated bodies,
malnourished, swollen tongues,
begging hands, digging nails.

the performance of hungry ***,
the dance of darkling seas.

evanescent, like the two of us,

we began to understand the fulminate of storms.

Fall bloom, summer falling eld.
The crisp kiss of a pleading farewell.

The first hello of a cantaloupe dream.
Fading leaves; shedding its skin.

The kids in trunks,
hands tied together, a vowed bond to last a lifetime.

Jumping into the forbidden lake;
A hurried plash from wet, parading feet.

Flaxen, cold skin,
A gaze to the wuthering sky’s of storms.

Shy smiles, first kisses.

Fall,
She lives a Dive in our dreams.
"Dive" in this case, is referring to a rich man. I hope I don't confuse anyone with that.
