Trips around the sun
I no longer crave a fleeting summers romance passionate yet desolate , over by snow fall.but rather I crave an old love . A love of slow ,tender kisses leaking into the wee hours of the morn. Longing for slow as though time is ours alone . a romance of easy hellos and tender goodbyes

1205
Every night 1205 always wondered why
1205 the time you'd begin to snore so i knew it was safe
I could just be
Every night one two three four
1205 check for movement 1 2 3 4
You couldn't yell at me at 1205
301 different story i'd pretend to be asleep
It never worked
You'd start a fight id cry
The dog would hide
1205 stayed up till 4 then went to sleep sleep till 12 12 was safe
1205 the time you'd begin to snore so i knew it was safe
I could just be
Every night one two three four
1205 check for movement 1 2 3 4
You couldn't yell at me at 1205
301 different story i'd pretend to be asleep
It never worked
You'd start a fight id cry
The dog would hide
1205 stayed up till 4 then went to sleep sleep till 12 12 was safe

To my ex
Dad found your beer can today,under the driver's seat {{classy}}
I found it weeks past . Anger overtook ,no longer of my own accord,alas anger of my mom as she watched as you soiled her once beautiful home . Anger of my father as the life drained from his stoick face as I finally uttered that you liked little girls and I was one of them watching me as I grew ,waiting longing ,planning .I do not wish you the best
I WISH YOU KARMA .
Your name once uttered with ease now now burns me to my core like the venom from a rattler . You letters still linger around my room...

the state of the world
Land of freedom , home of the brave . at least that's what we say, yet at the same moment I lay awake wondering if my friends will see the next birthday . for you see this land is built upon the bodies of people like my friends poc , lgbtqia+ , disabled , poor . disarray and hatred is what this country has fallen to . the indisputable right to live should never have been able to be touched . if the god i prayed to as a babe is but the same as the one people like desantos pray to , then i denounce this deity ; and also this faith . America has always been dis-balanced, just now not a soul...

flame
As my room fills with the aroma of warmth and vanilla, the gentle glow pouring over me and my walls . the ethereal beauty of the flame as it crackles and dances in its glass . as the world succumb to slumber i come alive , haunted by words beseeching to be freed of my mind , entranced by the sound of the paper as the pen glides as if on its own accord, delighted by the sound of the keys in their rhythmic cadence . words flowing just as if they were alive all along . through the music of the night , and the light of the moon i become putty to my words allowing them to use me as their canvas .

91216
Haunted by your touch the way it felt the sounds of your voice guttural. animalistic , and void of empathy. The coldness of my body as you stole my voice , not to be heard for years, the pain of penetration . it has been 12 ,9 and 5 years yet alas their visage torments me
Fighting with no avail hiding the shorts under the tub never to be worn again ripping the skirt to shreds. The aroma of copper and pain in the air. sticky , empty ,silenced .
Contused and spoiled .
Years later I sit muted .
words that refuse to be freed 9 12 16 to escape is to depart of this place ....

sands of time
What is the meaning of life ?
Does anyone truly know? to know is to experience all life has to give thus
truly it is as unknown as why the air flows through our lungs as unknown as
as human kindness and empathy . while we as a collective search for
answers , love , and experiences the sands of time grow thinner and thinner .
do you become engulfed in the flame of want ?or do you just allow life . life
is ethereal and elusive when we try to lock it in a cage , to hold in our hands
like a domestic pet it slithers away falling through our greedy fingers...

crimson secrets
as my breath hitches in my throat,and becomes frigid, and sharp. i drag the blade across my porcelain skin . just as the familiar sting breeches the surface,intoxicating crimson pools well up in that beautiful line ; overflowing then trickling down.leaving behind hills and valleys

venom
its not always those who lurk in the shadows we must fear, longing to hurt you lying in wait . but those who cry love ,yet drip venom from their lips .those whose touch hides razorblades
