your name is the only thing that makes the alphabet matter,
I knew this was real when you told me to stop dreaming
and start living. I love you.
it'll never change.
yes, this is about love. because everything is and I'm glad I've finally come to terms with it. shameless self-promo but I just decided to make an instagram for my poetry (@deadtalksx) follow me if you want I guess.
after looking in on how
Jen's selections were faring
they indicated that they'd
be very nicely squaring

was pleasing to see
most of them reaching
the front cover's face
only the odd one
was put in another
compartment's space

it so gladdened Jen
when her options
got colossal views
she has a consistency
in this area which make
for better reviews

those pieces she's
given a re-showing
are set to be bathed
with a bright glowing

oh yes dear Jen
can't be beat
on choosing
something real neat

Ive spent so long without love
I forgot what it felt like
It isn’t always there
But sadness is consistent
Its always there
Maybe thats why I feel so empty without it
Love me

consistency is all I ask for:
like a river flows
and stays consistent,
I need someone’s love to flow
through me all year round
to remind me that like water
I can be soft, yet strong
February 26th~han
To this acquaintance,
A rendezvous with midnight.
A gentle Déjà vu and in some sense
I wonder if an unspoken invite
Has played a part or two.
Does the past ever ensue?

Words do become an addiction.
Layer upon layer of repeated satisfaction
Interjected, felt and spewed.
Silken sheet’s confessions are
Best made in the ****.
These words, why are they so bizarre?

Oh let me write it right
Let me dream tonight
Upon this unarmored stage.
Let me free the fight
All through the night
Releasing it from its cage.

With a candlelit smile upon a face
The sheets do gently part.
What fills my heart
Is the gentle art
Of a finger painting slowly traced.
It has not been done by the ones
Lessening love absent of these notions.

What lies beneath must lie beside
As the past becomes renewed.
A gentle kiss a midst a torrents tide
The naked beach subdued.
Wet sand shaping dry demands

Déjà vu be wooed.
Have you ever had that feeling that you had been somewhere before but you knew you hadn’t? Or met someone that you somehow knew yet had never met? Well this piece tries to deal with just such a feeling.

it’s large and soft and full of memories
now tainted by the thought of her
countless nights spent soundly sleeping side by side
comfortable and safe
but those nights have ended
will never return
exchanged for awkward glances
and menageries of bugs in my gut
i miss that bed though
i miss the closeness and the warmth
of her body next to mine
the routine
the sameness
the consistency

but life isnt consistent
unless the consistency is change

so i tell myself
there will be other beds
better beds
other girls
better girls
far better than she
better faces, better smiles
better memories
stronger feelings of comfort
and belonging
and acceptance
and love
for myself
and someone else.
inspired by a boy to write this. wrote it from his POV because he told me how he missed sleeping with his ex girlfriend in her bed

Sipping on OJ after ***, after ******* on a cigarette
   Night outside grows frozen as Autumn slips into Winter
She the Fire sleeps deeply, deep inside of me
   She's determined to hang moss bangs over Her face
      Block Her view from death's stony stare
         She's determined to sleep forever

What if I cut, what if I dig the skin to wake Her?
                   What if I starve the stomach?
Heave the breast toward the hand upon the chest with razor?

We all need Fire in the coldest days
Don't tell me   I'm in control
As you speak them, I speak too
We all say
   We all say
Don't tell me   I'm in control
We all break
   We all break
We've all broken ourselves

She's determined to sleep forever
   I'll
      wake
         Her
i'm ready

Months are far spent and with you i still cannot break words
I must say, you and i have spent this lost time in two different worlds

During which i was about what would be termed infidelity
Faced with guilt i became scared of the consequential reality

I began to search for words excuse my indecent behavior
But non was good enough as words became blur

Eventually i lost my sight of words for expression
Then my train of thought derailed into chaos of volcanic eruption

And even now as i pen down this confession
i cant say much because my mind and hands has lost connection

i was carried away by **** distractions, oh! dear poetry
i am sorry for committing adultery
If you leave anything that thing also leaves you

Graduation is for degree
Like knowledge is for brain

Innovation and discovery are the two ends of a thread

Innovation comes from within
Discovery comes from surroundings

Now its up to individual to decide
which end would they be willing to choose

Trees die
Flowers dry
Climates change
So will I

Animals extinct
Some lands sink
Worlds change
So will I

Feelings fade
Minds easily sway
People change
So will I
