Big bad wolf.
Raven Oct 2015
I am in love with the big bad wolf that prowls my neck and howls between my legs.

He has big eyes made to see my reaction as those teeth bite into the tender flesh of my throat and my, if you knew what he did with those claws of his…

I've given up on you.
Raven Jul 2015
Remember him?
The one with the cute smile
The one with art on his skin –
a walking masterpiece;
The one you chased for years
only to give up
Because the truth finally dawned on you
that it’s pointless
going after someone
who will never notice –
nor adore you the way you’ve adored him
all those years.

Stealing time he wasn't supposed to give to her.

Madness. Art.
Raven Nov 2015
i have fallen in love with art
and can't help but wonder
what comes first:
the madness or the art?
it seems like
the two are tragically entwined.

Part-time lover.
Raven Jul 2015
Maybe what he felt
was nothing but a fleeting desire.
Maybe he just needed company
because he was feeling lonely at that time.

Rekindle.
Raven Apr 2016
I tried my best to rekindle our fire;
You just watered down all my attempts.


All efforts were futile.

Artemis.

A beautiful maiden
guided by the moonlight
hunting in the dark woods
with nothing but
her arrows and pride.

Before you take a bullet for someone you love ask yourself first if they would take a bullet for you too.

Too bad it wasn't our time.

Sad boys.
Raven Apr 2016
If I were a painter,
he would definitely be my muse.
But amidst the shades
of black, gray, and blue
there wouldn't be
a color dark enough
to match the sadness
in his eyes.

Ocean.
Raven Nov 2015
She is an ocean
But don't be fooled by the beauty
For she has turbulent currents
Flowing beneath her calm surface
And violent waves
That can swallow you whole.

The sinner.
Raven Feb 2016
My mind escaped my body
so lost along with the burning passion I was feeling

Stomach filled with butterflies
my cold fingertips tracing your warm skin
nails digging on your back
leaving satisfied marks

Lips swollen and quivering
moans muffled
and my heart on fire

This is how you make me feel
This is what you do to me
This is how you stir up the sinner in me

La bella casa.
Raven Feb 2016
She is a beautiful house full of secret rooms and intimidating paintings on the walls that would make you uncomfortable.

Only a few people get to feel like home.

Ignis.
Raven Mar 2016
The downside
of falling in love
with people
who make you feel
sparks
and fireworks
in your heart
comes
when they leave you
with nothing but
ashes and smoke.
all time low's "a love like war" inspired this piece idk

Daydream.
Raven Feb 2016
Sunday morning
all is peaceful and quiet
I was drinking coffee
while skimming the morning paper
Listening to the cars
roar in the distance
You came out of the bedroom
yawning, stretching
looking cute with your bed hair
Eyes squinting
Adjusting to the sunlight
You made your way to the kitchen
poured yourself a cup of coffee
and took a seat across from me
We just stared
Studying each other
Not a single word uttered
We sat still in silence
a comfortable one
Few minutes passed
You looked a way
licked your lips then smirked
Often
I daydream about
doing a lot of things to you
I wonder
Are you thinking
the same way I do?

Raven Aug 2015

Raven Apr 2016
Who bled first?
Was it me
or you?
Does it even matter
which of us

Safe and sound.
Raven Jul 2015
I thought I couldn’t be terrified or hurt anymore.
I suppose that’s how it is.
You’ve already been so damaged
that damage itself
makes you feel safe and comfortable.
Raven Oct 2015
Her body was a temple
but her mind and heart are in ruins.

Smoking kills.
Raven Oct 2015
I'm not the smoke that filled your lungs.
I was just the cigarette **** that you threw away.

Raven Nov 2015

Saying my name

I am not

Cry me an ocean.
Raven Nov 2015
she cries an ocean
every night
when she's in bed;
the deeper it gets
the more she forgets
how to swim.

The moon and the sun.
Raven Oct 2015
She would drive her white chariot of the moon across the sky each night. He would do the same thing each morning with his golden sun chariot.

The day and the night maybe in love but those stories never ended well.

Apollo.
Raven Mar 2016
he is the one
who brings the sun to shine

he is the ink
that dances across the pages
giving birth to beautiful poetries

he makes great symphonies
with his lyre he'll give you a show

he can bestow you great health
but try not to anger him
for you may suffer the plague he brings

it has been a great day
but it's time for him to go

he'll be back tomorrow
with more symphonies
and poetry for show

wielding his silver bow and arrow
while riding his sun chariot across the sky
you will easily recognize him
he is the god Apollo.
an idea about making a poetry book about greek gods, goddesses, and titans popped into my mind the other day but i'm not sure if i'll continue doing it tho.

so for the meantime i'll post it here.

indurate
Raven Nov 2017
i’m never going to be your dream girl
i have sharp edges
and bones too strong from all the breaking they did

but i like that you still try
i like that you still hold my hand
i like that still you look at me
and when you do
i sometimes see what i could be

Silent = Loud.
Raven Oct 2015
She’s not too quiet.
It’s just that you haven’t been listening carefully enough.
Look into her eyes and you will hear how loud her soul screams.

This is how he killed her.
Raven Oct 2015
"Goodbye", he said quietly.

Just like that, she was a ghost.
And he had walked right through her.

Armor.
Raven Nov 2015
Sometimes
I tend to forget
and become too careless;
I let my guard down
and let someone in
far enough
To break my heart

Each time
I tell myself
I will never
let it happen again

With each lesson learned
My armor strengthens
And I hope it’s hard enough
To not let it happen again.

Repressed memory.

Raven Mar 2021

years later we started
colliding and consuming each other

and after the impact
we faded to nothing
but whispers in the dark

Celestial.
Raven Nov 2015
He held her hand and promised her the moon and stars. Now she can't look up at the night sky because the moon and stars are still there but he's not.
Raven Feb 2016
He met her
and all the wars
inside him grow silent.

He loved her
and that's when he realized
she's the only thing
worth the pain of
****** hands, broken bones and bruised skin.

Library.
Raven Oct 2015
He isn't just a book. I can't sum him up in a novel with limited chapters or words. He is an entire library, filled with shelf after shelf of books of adventures and magic. And it would be the greatest gift to spend the rest of my life, reading every single one of his amazing books he holds inside of him.

I will.
Raven Oct 2015
I will love you in the same way
the planets orbit around the sun;
without any intention to stop.

I have this habit of starting wars with myself and sometimes in the end I don't know whether I've won or lost.

But now
your face is nothing but a blur,
a memory fading away.
