La Universa
Landon Keys Nov 2021
The vastness and beauty of the cosmos
Pales in comparison
To the utter magnitude of your wonderful soul  


"We are all made of stardust!"

Never believed it until I met you.

"You're beautiful."
"Oh please, I didn't even try and look cute today."
"Not your hair, your soul."

Death?
Landon Keys Nov 2021
Not just a bridge
But a vast expanse
Not a straight line
Wherever, whenever
It is time.
Death is emotionless
But it's not quite the end
What is death?
It's not the finality,
But beginning of eternity.
Response to Naceur Ben Mesbah. Inspired by, and a response to his poem titled 'Death.' All credit to him for the structure and idea.

No matter the pain you cause

Let me bring you flowers
Let me have your time
Let me know you now

Let me tenderly surrender
Let me give myself
Let me try forever
Let me prove oneself

Let me love you

3am
A curious hour, 3am.
No one awake
but the Heartbroken
and Devils of the Night.

A powerful hour, 3am
Depressive
with a crushing weight
against your soul.

A maddening hour, 3am
bewitching you
with the thoughts
of her.

A bittersweet hour, 3am
No one awake
but the Heartbroken
taking solace in the twilight

I see it in your smile
I see it on your face
I feel it in your touch
I feel it on your skin
I hear it in your laugh
I hear it on your chest
I smell it in your hair
I smell it on your breath
I taste it in your kiss
I taste it on your lips
All my senses tell me
My heart knows how to feel
With all my being I know
My love for you is real

Stuck on the precipice of life and death.

So now you know
I was in love with you
Before I hit the ground
Don't be sad
It's not your burden
Why'd I tell you?
I really didn't want to
But my heart needed it
I want to disappear
But I don't want to
Is that what you want?
What has this come to?

The crushing weight of uncertainty
Can certainly be
The end of me
But why lie beneath
The lies and heat
We've lived and died
In subtlety
You're ripening
Now it's time to see
Him playing for pipe and string
He's not the type to sing

Hanging from the rafters.

I'm going to miss you
Your singing
Your dancing
You pretended to be happy
To make me happy
I'm sorry

I'm going to miss you
Your laugh
Your way of copying my speech
You would come on Wednesdays
Even though you were sad
I'm sorry

I'm going to miss you
Your brownies
And cookies
Things made in love
Trinkets from the store
That were just you thinking of me
I'll never be able to look at my wallet
Or wear my sandals
Without missing you
I'm sorry

I'm going to miss you

Has me feeling some type of way

Loving you is easy
Landon Keys Nov 2023
To me
Loving you is easy
I think more about breathing

You are not hard to love
Simply because you feel
Deeply

Not loving you
Is the true
Impossibility


I love you loudly
I love you proudly

Because..

To me
Loving you is easy

I can love you
I can feel the vibe
But the answer is no
I can love you
But you'll never be her
And to you that's not fair
I'd rather be alone
Then cause another single tear

Is this the end?
The great finale?
If all is quiet and well

Though if calamity still lingers
It cannot be so
I'll stay
Until the wrongs have been righted
This is my promise to you

To caress anxiety

When you see me
Landon Keys Nov 2023
"What do you think when you look at me?"

"That I feel safe.. Like I can breathe. My gaze always pauses extra long on your eyes, and I want to run my hands through your hair and beard."

"My eyes are simply a reflection of yours."

It rained today..
Not much different
Than any other day.
Only this time..
Maybe
More self-aware
It's hard to care..
Must persevere
To preserve
That perseverance

Isle of Yew
Landon Keys Dec 2020
I dream these dreams
On an isle of yew
Either day or night
My soul is blue
Through firelit skies
Or moonlit nights
I dream these dreams
On an isle of yew

The night so dark
On an isle of yew
I'm lost and found
Where souls bound anew
Their faces so right
when faced with my plight
The night is so dark
On an isle of yew

I'm just not happy
On an isle of yew
My heart is stone
But by soul- it flew
In the shade it's cold
Or so I'm told
Underneath these trees
On and isle of yew

I wander in splendor
On an isle of yew
Neither here nor there
down an aisle or two
The trees grow high
and so do I
I wander in splendor
On an isle of yew

I am elated
On an isle of yew
To face another
Whose beauty so true
Your face loved me
And love crushed me
So I end this thought
On an I love you.

I haven't written in a while
For I've not been sad
The love of my life
Fell in my lap

It's a weird feeling
that is, appreciation
For all you do for me
It's reciprocation

You are wonderful
You are worth it
At least to me
You are perfect

Velvet streets and
