See, Sins Make Us Who We Are

It’s fine to be swept up in a whirlpool of unexpected emotion at times and feel as if you’re being forced to walk the plank into a sea of unforgiving waves crashing against your chest threatening to crush your very insides because sometimes all we need is a little bit of a breakdown to spring back into the throngs of everyday life. Don’t be afraid when your heart bursts into flames and you feel the tendrils licking at your exposed throat. One day you’ll find the person who will drown you in their kisses and douse the flames and the smoke that expels from your lungs and escapes your mouth every day will be a constant r

they make a poet out of me

my lover is a poet not just with their words but with their gaze with the touch of their skin and their lips on mine my lover creates poetry just by breathing poetry of the world and poetry out of me in a way i can't believe (for fear that they may leave) my lover makes a poet out of me for i see stars in their gaze and warmth in their smile they're lovely and i want to compose them for the poet that they are but they, like a galaxy... indescribable

What Do You See

What do you see When you look at me A stunning face? A beauty? A grace? I see someone with a double chin Pants that slide down Cause she wears them Again and again A quiet look And dead, but beautiful, eyes Asking to die But terrified of that option Whether it be by her hands Or someone else's Calloused hands From simple work No longer soft Or carefree Only ragged The only ones Who have actually seen Or felt What's inside of me

i like to think you think of me

you didn’t come to the airport. i didn’t send the postcard. these are small defeats. easy to swallow, easy to look back at, to pinpoint what we could have done differently, things that would have yielded a different outcome. vary the variables, reset the experiment— you didn’t get me flowers. i didn’t remember your birthday. paper cuts, not amputations. too insignificant to be remembered past the day they happened. blame is a tricky thing. hard to hold in your hands. the first time you take cough medicine that hasn’t been sweetened. a bone that breaks and heals crooked. a load heavy enough that holding i

an open letter to my twelve year old self

one day you will cut all your hair off, and hang up a map of the world in your room and you will look at it on days you think your life is going nowhere. i hate to tell you this, but this isn’t your worst year. it also isn’t your best. one day you will cut all your hair off and realize that some poems need to be read out loud, to an audience, so you’ll take a hammer and some nails and build yourself one out of a girl whose veins look fragile but whose bones are strong, a boy who isn’t as tall as he thinks he is, but whose lifelines are the deepest you’ve ever seen, and a girl whose eyes remind you of the east

The Witch-King of Angmar

“Far from Angmar should thou keep Where foul and evil dragons sleep For in the realm of the Witch-King Do Balrogs slumber in the deep Master of the Barrow-Downs of yore His darkness extends across the moor The land thus tained unto Mordor As it shall remain forevermore In black fortress the wraith-lord dwells And hails his conquests with shadow bells Fear not the master only, he walks not alone For of dark and fell vampires do legends tell First of the Ringwraiths Nine Black in robe and armor with soul malign On great fell beasts the Nazgul ride Bearing the Eye, the Dark Lord's sign” -From The Witch-King Angmar

Regenerate Away

If you’re not the Doctor when you go, Then there’s no burst, no golden glow. Into that good night you gently go, And the past is what remains. But would you do it if you could, Regenerate like the Doctor would? Would you question if you should? Would you change or stay the same? We all have a choice to make when we’re trapped in death’s glance, Whether we can go in peace or if we want a second chance. So tell me now, would you go or would you stay? Would you Regenerate Away? Would you Regenerate Away All of the crying and the pain? Denying death on your last day? What would you do? Explode with the light of a mil

if i could refigure the universe in moral absolutes, i would take the cyanide from alan's tongue and the estrogen from his veins, paint him in the colors of hero and lay him gently in the garden where snow white awaited her prince amongst blooming wires and softly humming computers.

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

girls on a roof.

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

I can't see the stars when I'm in my college town, too much light pollution. I hope he finds a place to see the stars soon.
