cigarettes after sex.
jules Jul 2020
the song came on and i thought of you
and our first time together in the tent
and those first few times at your house
when we were first getting to know
each other's bodies and souls

my hands would trail up your bare chest
my lips pressed against yours delicately
i was exploring your body yet
i wanted to get to know
every inch of you:
your heart, mind and soul

i never thought i could love again
i never thought i would open up
and trust someone with my heart
but you took away the fear,
helped me strip away the walls

i opened my heart to you
i bore my soul
completely and fully
i trusted you to not break it
and i trusted you to stay
even when things got hard

10 months later
you broke it
into pieces
you broke my heart
and didn’t even
******* ask
if i was okay

mango nectar.
jules May 2020
his eyes
the colour of
amber honey
looking into mine
the colour of
green emeralds

his lips
tasting of sweet
mango nectar
dripping
into my soul

our hearts
colliding
as the sweet breeze
of summer air
dances on
our bare skin

i still have days where
i can not accept myself
and i am filled with a collection
of broken thoughts

i still have days where
i can not move from the bed
or bring myself to go outside
and breathe in the crisp air
that i know can heal me

my spirit was broken for so long
depression consumed me for years
and although i have come far
from the dark, dark place
where i used to reside
i am constantly reminded that
the healing never ends

sunset sinner.
jules Jun 2020
i’ve always demanded more from the sunset;
more spectacular colours when the sun hit the horizon
they say a woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets
but maybe i’m just a ****** up girl,
looking for my own peace of mind

that’s perhaps my only sin.

self-love.
jules May 2020
i wish to cultivate
self-love, stillness
and harmony;
giving myself the space
to slow down and reconnect
while loving myself tenderly
for all that i am

i wish to spread
this love of self
unto others in my life
and to the collective
beings on the planet

in hopes that they too
will see the beauty
that is already within them.

you are beautiful to me
a soul crafted
made of symphonies

although you hurt me
i am lucky to have met you
it was meant to be

we’re going to be okay
that i know
within my heart
beating slow
the pace quickens
as i think of you and
i don’t want to be alone

can we start again?
jules Jun 2020
i hope to never lose you
even when the sunset
seems bleak
please don’t leave
darling
my heart is weak

even when you push me
and call me names
just hold me again
let’s pretend
this will never end

can we start again?

— The End —
