you liked your coffee black
no sugars, no milks
just black

it’s sickening, you once said
bitter’s the only way to go

i didn't quite understand it then
but i think i do now;

i guess too much sugar
isn’t good for anyone;
much less a boy
already made of molasses.
his order has always been the easiest to remember
(and it doesn't hurt that he has a face like that, too)

Fell in love last friday
with a non-binary star
woke up and brushed my teeth
with sunglasses on thinking
of them

white shots of hail and the windows
jeweled from the rain
a hot week and hot nights
followed by a hot star
and sheets of rains from grey clouds
changing
they DJ’d at a party and i got rly drunk kayyyy

edit: thx angela for lighting this one up :3
writing a poem
in this virtual community
called hello poetry
is like coming home
after a long absence
ZULIET: (The BelovedZ)

Just for name-sake
There are million names &
Labels to relationships
In this world

The one who drowns
In LOVING A stranger
Is the real ANGEL of LOVE

LOVE has ****** martyr's honor
That lives even after death
With every passing moment
LOVE grows younger & youthful

Those who burn the ambers of LOVE
Within their hearts and soul
Are called real true LOVERS

I am just narrating
The LOVE story Of my experiences
My Dharma, My religion, my duty is LOVE
My Karma, my destiny, my fate is LOVE
LOVE is the only dignity I hold


ROMEO: (The LOVER)

Don't YOU pride of yourself
By calling yourself a true LOVER

LOVER is the one who understands
The sadness of the one who LOVES

LOVER is the one who feels
the sufferings of the one who LOVES

Don't even tell anyone
That YOU are a LOVER

Don't even pride within YOU
That YOU believe in LOVE

What you know what LOVE is?
Huh...!?

Whatever YOU say are
Just parroted words of others

YOU DO NOT know anything of "LOVE"

YOU haven't heard or seen
The real stories of True pure AGAPE LOVE

Why do you boast so much about
Being a LOVER?

ZULIET (The BelovedZ)

LOVE is my prayer
LOVE is my worship
LOVE is my chant
LOVE is my canticle

LOVE is my liturgy
LOVE is my sacrament
LOVE is my benediction
LOVE is my devotion

My fate is that of a LOVER's
That of excruciating dire consequences
That's how one enters LOVE's heaven

ROMEO (The LOVER)

Now I feel your crying tears
Now your LOVE songs cuts my SOUL
Now I see your bleeding heart

Now I believe in your LOVE for me

I chose night and regretted it every day,
I faked light and hoped you’d find the way;
I burnt my sins and tried to sell their bottled smoke,
but pretty ribbons made bare souls choke.

I remember when I was younger
I thought I had love figured all out
I would tell myself that if I just
Put my heart, mind, body and soul
Love would do the same
And all would be sweet as candy.

I lost myself.

I tried to change
Tried to be prettier
Tried to be smarter
Tried to be more smooth on the edges
All because I wanted to be enough for love
Even when I did all of that
Love wasn't satisfied.
I tried to change myself for the man I loved so that maybe, just maybe he would reconsider leaving.

I don't know how I got this bad
A depressed mother
A chauvinist dad

I want to run away and start a new life
To be someone's soulmate
To be someone's wife

I cannot cross my dad
He raises his hand
Going against him is domestically banned

And all this while I stand broken
An emotional mess and not well-spoken
But I'm told I victimize-
Myself, and then I'm criticized

So be my guest and judge me mate
But help me out before it's too late
I am looking for happiness and that is all
I would let love be my biggest fall
