reverie Nov 2018
i'm stretched out thin
covering a thousand places
with the sun shimmering through my skin

rushing
with flushing
and burned out cheeks
hollow underneath my eyes
dried up tears like river creeks

trying to be the best
trying to stay afloat

weary bones,
i never rest

saltwater flooding inside my chest

this is not what i had hoped
reverie Aug 2020
without time
i discovered myself in my prettiest prime
clouds raining down flower showers
and only with you
heartbeats turn into forever hours

without touch
lingering fingers and such
physicalities straight redefined
incapacitated mind, I’m turning blind
rational thinking now staying behind


and still
without doubt
i cite one thousand whispers,
all that I‘ve vowed
all of my love
my whole being throughout
reverie Jul 2018
no matter
how high i stride
how city neon lights blind my ride
how my blood pumps all and every night

you
come back around
howling hound
cerberus
surmount
reverie Nov 2020
deep inside these aching bones
shattered where I feel them most
muffled, troubled, heavy groans
roughed up tears and tears exposed
reverie Aug 2018
green demon
disclosing
exposing
your sin
sometimes it sneaks out while wearing my skin

you love me, so you wouldn’t
or would you
i trust you, so i shouldn’t
or could you

accusations
fermenting built up frustrations
is it me or is it her you’ll *****

speculations
overbearing calculations
mass murdering the trust we grew
reverie Jul 2018
they were like two black holes
circling
dancing
so erratic and impure and rich
their union would’ve meant the end of all time
reverie Jul 2018
some
place in space

hidden deep
in a starlit haze

where the veil
meeting saturns howling gale

breaks the void
and the place
and the phase
and the endlessly turning wheels of fate

intertwine, realign

just so you
can set your eyes
like a million crashing skies

on me
reverie Jul 2018
all i wish
is for you to know
that i love you with all my heart
and the thought of letting you go
makes me feel like i ate too much on a ride at the amusement park
reverie Jul 2018
and so i close my eyes

wrapping my skin
around the horrors inside

around your hands in mine
under a twisted, incandescent
dying light
dog
reverie Nov 2020
dog
after all this time
all that’s left of me
twisted and shattered spine

I’m right here
on all fours
just below your gaze
I‘m sorry. I promise.
I will remember my place.
reverie Jan 2019
after all my good intentions
all these honorable deeds
countless tender indiscretions  
that’s just me, I aim to please

i still get left behind
that’s when I feel so deaf and so blind
that’s when the usual dread creeps back
and again  
as usual
i go down on my knees to beg
reverie Aug 2018
your eyes
remind me of ashen fireflies
with circles around them, almost like
a monochrome sunrise
and your voice  
fills the skies
with clouds of coal and ice

your touch is made up of lies
am i not right
with your castle build up so high
it counts as vanishing disguise
and in your flesh, this demise
it should suffice
am i not right
to have you pay this price
the worst of all goodbyes
grr
reverie Jul 2018
grr
there's this fluff
on my forehead
where my hair starts
- yeah, right there

i like to look tough
not only a tad
so it's pretty hard
to be like that anywhere

when my hair is curly
and rude
and I just wish
i could go somewhere

without looking
like a goof
this isn't funny
i'm serious
I SWEAR
that feel when you realize you can actually write poetry about the absolute weirdest most hilarious things
reverie Aug 2018
in a world filled with
hypotheticals
and ethical dispensables

we learn what's right
trusted, tried

still doing deeds
unjustified

it's okay, you know
it's alright
making mistakes is part of the ride
everyone lies
running off in fright sometimes

doesn't make you less worthy
or less qualified
you see, putting those
so called
imperfections aside:

the concept of failure is an illusion
taught to you by people trying to prove things
it's time to wake up from this delusion

you're lovely
and worthy
even amidst all confusion  

so fail on forward
hang in there
with fierce resolution
reverie Dec 2020
sometimes life comes easy
in-between the longing and the dreams
days passing by taste kinda peachy
rose-colored picture book scenes
reverie Jul 2018
stuck in my body
we are as one
come closer
help me
this is his home


i find
splitters of diamond
stuck in my eyes

i knew
when i saw him for the very first time
that this man would cost me a horrendous price

i find ashes and iron
etched into my skin

all of these traces
carrying him
deep into my bloodstream and straight to the heart
he’s my holy drug
my lord
split me apart

i find
succulent tongues
like rumors at night

ensnaring
revolting
neither fear nor fright


i find
that
in every mirror
i see home
and as much as my love for this man
breaks me and builds me all at once
i cannot forget
can’t overcome

but as long as i’m his
and it’s his hands carrying me
i know i can be strong
i promise you
he’ll set me free
reverie Nov 2018
red blinks of light
streets hushing by
at the corner of my eye
somewhat out of sight

bodies intertwined
sounds and lustful groans
no matter how much I seek
i never find

walking out at night  
withering inside my mind
wearing your clever
tender
skillful disguise

i lust for you
your nails and your deep end eyes
clinging onto my neck and
making me blue

i want you, too
don’t laugh like that
why won’t you trust me
i told you,
i do
hi
reverie Jul 2018
hi
i‘m
pretty rotten
pitch black cotton and
miles to the bottom
here, my *****
eyes uncommon
seldom
sodden
reverie Jan 2019
if I could tear you apart
reveal the pathway right there above your heart
if I could split your body and soul
you know this, don‘t you
- you’d still remain whole

you’re more than a mere work of art
to see you have to stop looking so hard
to know you must relinquish control

only then, you shall remember  
from the very start  
it was never yours at all
reverie Aug 2018
„do you still love me“
under a crimson moon rising
helplessly, turning into a banshee
with these pale red lips too inviting

„did you ever really love me“
under showers of sheer alabaster
limbs *******, dragging me down undersea
could you please make my burial go by any faster

„do you even know what love is“
each silver lining drowning out
god if you grant me one last wish
resurrect my bones, chant your name all aloud

i can tell there’s no answer
no spring and no shame
crystals in my eyes are now shattered
i can tell you’re not the one to blame

your soul must have ventured
into tundras so cold
forced your heart to surrender
so you sold it for gold
reverie Sep 2018
i sense you in the symphony
running inside my bones
when our eyes meet

and i taste you in
that ice cold air
slumber winter mornings
oh
how i wish we were
reverie Jul 2018
my armies are dead
foul ghouls
black bloodshed
my land? it’s ill
all dark, no harvest, so many mouths to fill

the sickness has spread
everywhere
especially inside my head

and all i can do
to sit on my throne
a tint of royal blue

my servants are frozen in time, you see
they’re my ghosts
my lovely, little parody

it’s cold within these walls, you see
you better keep warm
they might eat you alive, these walls
consider yourself warned

and if you wonder
after all this time
why i’m still here
claiming what’s mine

i dreamed this to be, you see
this kingdom is my fantasy
my youngest wish and sweetest sigh
it’s not so easy
letting go
waving goodbye

and as my castle starts collapsing
and the rubble begins to fall
i start to ponder
start to wonder
what if this all
wasn’t just a dream, the exception to the rule
dreamed up by me
a lousy, unworthy fool
who just wanted to be queen
of the kingdom inside my head
just this one time
more alive
than dead
reverie Jun 2019
was there ever a cure
for this spell you put on me

air on my skin feeling wholly impure
and around my iris, floating only debris
reverie Aug 2018
take me away
lead my light astray

scarring desert fire
out there, hell is arranging your choir

beat after beat
mighty razor teeth

pushing
ripping
stripping my skin
my neck and my body and all that’s within

turn me inside out
with your withered sunset drought

fill my mouth
so i can do just as i vowed

eating the sun

making all life
bow
reverie Aug 2018
me gagging at my washed out reflection inside your retina

real love means

your soul stripping inside my arms
unarmed
and me
welcoming you in
keeping you unharmed
reverie Oct 2020
my palm is cooling out
oasis turned into an arid drought
and as I lift my arm to reach again
you shapeshift into one of hundred thousand men
reverie Sep 2020
when I think of you
the skies between my thighs turn all shades of pink and blue
and then my heart begins and starts
god, I don’t know, what do I do?
till all my guards and well-kept parts
melt right into your skin and through
reverie Aug 2018
i wish to be like you
not see-through
eyes forged
in exquisite stygian blue

eating it all up
mouth full,
still
nothing staying stuck
in that sharkish smile
crunching jaw, grinning wide

you got claws instead of hands
human life a mere pretense
what i’d give to live like you
devoid of all and any sense
reverie Aug 2018
around my neck
your lilac mark

crown of salty skin and crust
rendezvous mute rush and lust

i am a wrung out work of art
reverie Nov 2020
high pitched ringing
all the angels in my head
they just won’t stop singing
my eyes turn drenching red

at least
the more I keep on clinging
the sooner I’ll be dead
reverie Aug 2018
sometimes
i don’t know what to write

yet you’re here
right
reading these words
i pulled them out of my head last night
tried to make it right
sounding quite nice,
rhyming should suffice
right

doesn’t matter that
i lied
and i cried
and maybe i died

- but blood aside

as long as you read these words that i write
i know myself to be alive
i know you will treasure this
all of the feelings i hide
thank you to anyone who takes the time to read what i write.
reverie Sep 2020
all I thought
you were
all I thought
that we were,
all that could’ve been
with the line so paper thin -

now
it’s just a blur
reverie Sep 2019
caught in space
with my heartbeat tumbling
infatuated with a lilac haze
luscious clouds roaring, rumbling

choking on extra sweet sugar rain
falling in love is always the same
i‘ll never be able to stray from my ways
even when my world starts crumbling
reverie Jul 2018
somehow i knew it
somehow i guessed

that hell wouldn’t be gone forever
that there’d be one final test

and well
you know me
i really, really tried

but sometimes it doesn’t matter
even if i try with all my might
reverie Aug 2018
sealed under an iron oath
signed out by our own accord
nothing much we could be hoping for

dusted
ligatures of our time
dematerializing right before my eyes

lost
between desert outskirts
and your desperate, sobbing words

still
tides of love and warmth
wash me back to our earth
your shadow glazing
comforting
and open arms,
this time unarmed
leaving us bare
and for once
unharmed

what we were
and what will be
no mountain or sea
would dare endanger
you know this
we’ve always been of a somewhat stranger flavor

a bond forged with urgent certainty
and our skin melting as one
fevering in boiling burgundy
tirelessly
under this dried out sun
reverie Aug 2018
aren't we all simply collections
of our inflictions
and weakest actions

misguided directions
assuming perfection
trying what we can to
keep up pretention

i wish we remembered
breathing
to live with momentum

fearlessly
moving mountains
entering eden
with welcome
reverie Aug 2018
that smile of yours
rushing over me
like a spring breeze
fruity flower crowns and
fluffy
buzzing
bumblebees
reverie Aug 2018
**** me
undo me
slit me right up

take all my pieces
hurting like a papercut

cause all i ever wanted
all i ever longed to be

was to be broken and bent  
like a marionette on her knees

so infinitely hurting
untied like a bow

but in your arms, still loved
even though
i'm not whole
reverie Aug 2018
too cold for you here
don't look at me
my dress is too sheer
honestly

i fear

can't you hear

cause you
my dear
make my breathing sizzle
make my heartbeat fizzle

taking down my last frontier
reverie Jan 2020
bask
in molten glass
raise my palms wide to the mass
my time now to surpass
and take my throne in alcatraz
reverie Jul 2018
skin like ash
voice like cinder

trickster
linger

make me shiver
make me crash

slither
sinner
reverie Oct 2018
she‘s made up of strings
what a peculiar, bittersweet thing

hold up now - careful
don’t make her vow

you yourself are too full
if you untie her now
she might always bow
wouldn’t that be dull?
reverie Jul 2018
met you
don’t mind me
i liked you
tried hiding

held you
like lightning
my skin
to your liking

kissed you
like diving
no feelings
but sightings

left you
like blinding
for feelings
so striking

found you
residing
in a chest
filled with lining

and still
i’m here
surviving
denying
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how many times people tell you it’s not your fault. These feelings still linger.
reverie Oct 2020
lingering feelings of love
I‘ve had it coming, I think
your touch turned into something rather rough
I don’t even remember
when you started acting so tough

now it’s time to let go
to stop thinking and wondering if you know
time to step out
against all of my longings and all my doubt

wish I could’ve stayed
playing your game, accepting the trade
my soul for yours
so that our story endures

against all your lures
all the debts I paid
all the moments we shared
rose colored promises you made

putting a stop to our beating heart
a mirage I held onto so desperately, right from the very start
but if that’s what it takes
my sanity, my worth as the stakes
if that’s what you need
me on my knees while I beg and plead

if that’s what you need
then I have to take my leave
laying to rest all that I believe
I now choose me
I choose to be free
and all of what
I once used to be
reverie Oct 2020
I am sinking like a stone
in pitch black darkness
deep waters chill me to the bone
until I hit the ground unconscious
reverie Oct 2020
sometimes
i find no words
i find no rhyme
pouring all my hurt
in a leftover bottle of wine
reverie Jul 2018
sometimes

it‘s like the winds are taking me
but not really me
parts of me that i thought i‘d be
lifted away so easily
almost like it’s gravity

so why does it feel like
particles being swept away
somehow hurts me
can‘t they stay?

can‘t i be whole
just for once?

in this ******* life
this ******* farce?
reverie Aug 2018
watch wings unfold
tips of silk so tender

as you put forth all your faith
blossoming
into the soul of a stranger

the mightiest force of them all
soft like vanilla
providing a space for someone to grow stronger
taller

a better person
a bigger hope
now, thanks to you,
together
reverie Jul 2018
hearts flutter
whisper
stutter
moments shutter

and then
you’re
gone
reverie Aug 2018
i have long stopped crying
about the monsters underneath my bed
now i’m reaching out
to their levitating faces instead

last year it all began
when cold deserted the land
creatures crept in through the walls
patrolling the halls unmanned

they don’t have arms
or legs or feet
tall enough to reach the ceiling
smell of rust and festered meat

pluck my hair out one by one
sleep starved me trying to rest in peace
screeching whistles full of fun
plan to tear me piece to piece

satan sent them from hell
to bring me back from sleep
little did he know
they’re now mine to keep
