Drink me like milk
in the morning
and
honey
at night
seb Oct 2018
lemon, sticky frosting, dry lips.
fingernails painted with nothing other than mustard.

toxicity measured in sweetness.
plummet into the acidic taste of citrus fruit.

when you finally kiss me, it's all marigolds,
and some dirt.

dream pop car rides, cotton candy skies;
like those songs with excessive descriptions about eyes.

the girls with green hair, and black boots
but you're all yellow, gold, butter, honeysuckle.

ma jolie citron.

my pretty lemon, honey eyes.

where i belong is
somewhere, submerged in your depths
lost with you, in you

s.q.

"I want to show you I'm a man.  I want to be your man."

come back to your home
you built inside my core
inside awaits your throne
upon a marble floor

I have the fire place burning
beside a glass of wine
the walls are heard yearning
asking you to come inside

no one else has the key
to unlock my internal door
my body is never for free
unless you enter wanting more

I’ve kept your home clean
with candles sparkling bright
all I want is my beautiful queen
to stay with me tonight

i'm sorry that i couldn't save you, save myself.
i'm sorry that i'm imperfect.
i'm sorry that i'm negative.
i'm sorry that i'm not you.
i'm sorry that i'm me.
i've been listening to what people say and think for so long that i don't know how to stop doing it.
this poem is for all of you who do the same <3

If my heart could beat
up to a thousand beats per second
it would still only ever beat
that fast for you.

If my mouth could sing
as good as Whitney Houston
it would still only ever sing
love songs to you.

If my arms could stretch
from New York to China
they would still only ever wrap
tight around you.
