I want to get married, I say
and I want to run across every corner of the earth without stop;
but I think I have a soulmate
somewhere in Italy, sipping his after-dinner espresso
and I think I’ve probably got another, sailing around Greece
F_ck, I heard a Columbian’s accent for the first time last night
and—-though I’ve never been to South America—-
I’d bet there’s a few men waiting there for me too, and
How do you pack all the lives you want to live
into just one?


In one of our lives, we got married / bought a little house, down by the sea / played music in the mornings dancing wild through the kitchen / nothing but two sets of boxers and breakfast sizzling / retreated to our single studies in the evenings / slow jazz notes tumbling through the quiet hum / I gave you a couple of kids, so I could watch you be a father / and you were the most beautiful thing standing on two legs / teaching your son to ride a bike / cradling your newborn daughter / and every single day was enough / reason to love you harder


And still another, we were Old Gods
Intimately entwined of the infallible energies
Birthing entire planets and star systems
  of our chaos and of our joy

And time would pass
and we would grin
just watching
__
All of my demons stayed quiet
Because we all loved listening to you
My sweet darling, I am dying
Consume my flesh, bones & all.
Ignore my pain, and my crying
Ignore my shouts through the hall.

We are one now, drop the knife
I 'm with you, good times and strife.
I will comfort you when you cry
Together as one we will die.

Try to be normal, try to fit in
But in 2 weeks time you have to sin
The hunger consumes your every day
As you awake and as you lay.

We are monsters from the day we are born
The memories of killing, flesh that we torn
We can't help the demons that we are
Keep on moving, we have to go far
Based on the brilliant film, Bones & All.
Its an adult film but surprisingly it was based on a young teen novel.
Lets just say the film is more macabre.

i wonder what his hair feels like
as i comb through them with my fingertips

or how his skin feels, my dopamine spikes
when he traces down my spine, lips on lips

or maybe his breath on mine as i kiss him
just after he brushed his teeth, minty

could it be his guiding hands on my limbs?
as he looks so sweet and divine.

We collapse,
Eyes dilated to the size of a well,
Panting to catch a single breath.
Hot air exchanged as steam stipples skin;
Bodies tangled like twisting vines
Spent and scented with secret sensations
Secreted upon the sheets so shamefully sweet
As we catch the wave of calm washing over
In syncopated arrhythmia and bated breath.
Felt like being a little spicy 🌶️

I kiss the air between us, a breeze that lingers,
tracing soft patterns on your skin.
A tiny scar catches my eye—
a story I wish I'd been part of,
and suddenly, I want to protect every piece of you.

I study you like poetry written in touch,
my lips trailing every verse.
I am yours, entirely, undeniably—
and, darling, you have exquisite taste.
What were you thinking about
The night before?

Did you hold me as we slept
To memorized the touch?

Did you look at me
To remember my features?

When you said goodnight
Was that a prelude to goodbye?

Was the night before
The last time you loved me?

What were you thinking about
As you kissed me goodnight?

Was that kiss
The last we'd ever shared?

Were you thinking about
Our final night together?

Did you feel my heartbeat
Felt it whole before breaking it?

The night before
Were you mine?

The night before
Did you wish it was different?

Did you look at the clock
To count the last hours of us?

Did you feel asleep
Still thinking of me?

What were you thinking of
The night before?

What were you thinking of
Before you whispered "no more"?

Did you wait all night
For the sight of dawn?

Did you dream instead
That it would never end?

What were you thinking of
As you saw my resting eyes?

What were you thinking of
As you cried for the last time?

The night before
You said goodbye
I wake up every morning only to suffer,
The pain you caused will be forever.
With pain and suffering, I sleep,
Only to wake up, again to weep.

Fighting with my own emotion,
To ensure in my heart, there is no commotion.
The cut is so **** deep,
From your memories that I can’t sweep...

As a rootless tree, unable to grow
like a drained river, unable to flow
lost my shine, unable to glow…

You’ve ignited fire and left me to burn,
My mind has stopped since, unable to run,
Who do I complain about? as there is none…

A composition of words unsung,
Painful heart of mine that you flung,
Will hesitate with others to get along…

Pure souls leave this earth early,
As it gets attached with someone dearly,
At-last none to remember merely…

You are an ammunition, in every way,
No weapons required, just your presence will sway.
Your smile, a missile, soaring high
No distance can hinder its impact, my heart will die.

Your words, like bullets, pierced my soul,
Each shot, a memory which will haul.
In the cartridge of your kisses, I find sweet delight,
Every shot, a thrill, in the depths of the night.

You gaze like a torpedo, hits with force unseen,
Leaving me numb and serene.
And those sharp eyes of yours, like explosives they ignite,
Captures my heart, I will invite.

You're the propellant, igniting this fire,
Setting my world ablaze, with a burning desire.
And in your embrace, I find my warhead,
Ready to surrender, in this love we embed.

So let's embrace this warfare, with love as our guide,
For in the midst of chaos, with you, I abide.
No need for guns, pistols or bombs, I proclaim.
Reaching your heart was the only aim.
