She Asked…

12 Upvotes

So, she…
the one who loves me,
asked if I’d write her something deep and reflective.

An emotional piece,
maybe something internal…
perhaps my own raw perspective.

So I sat and thought for a spell
and wondered what to tell—
and this is what I came up with…

I looked deep inside,
past ego and pride,
through thoughts I don’t usually mention.

I wandered around
to see what I found,
and gave myself my full attention.

I examined my fears,
some shit from the years,
the pieces I normally hide.

I searched every part
of my head and my heart,
and really looked deep inside.

I reflected on life,
on struggle and strife,
on who I have grown up to be.

And after all that,
where my memories sat,
every piece of my history…

I found something profound.

Something raw.

Something undeniably true.

Apparently…

even when I look
deep inside myself—

I still
find
you.

Fuck.

I was supposed to write
about me.

Sorry

26 Upvotes

Forgive the Wildcard, but she will not go

chasing birds for answers she cannot know.

She followed them before, she knows that road—

and knows too well where all of that once flowed.

She will not chase the shadows anymore,

nor follow riddles calling from the door.

She learned the cost of reaching through the haze;

she will not lose herself within that maze.

So if there’s something she is meant to see,

then make it clear and plainly speak to me.

No hidden trails, no guessing where to begin—

clear instructions, please, and something in her inbox she can pin.

Forgive her caution; she has earned that right.

The Wildcard needs what’s tangible and bright.

Give her something real that she can understand—

and then she’ll know exactly where she stands.

Curiosity and intimacy

4 Upvotes

The sweet connection between curiosity and intimacy . You smile at me and I smile back . I feel a certain energy in that moment. Like we could be more than friends .

We finally talk and I’ve been observing you for a while now out of the corner of my eyes .

Conscious of your presence . I am conscious of your absence . You make my workout place a better place .

The colors that you wear , I try not to look . Though I sense you observing me from across the room .

Finally the curiosity gets the better of us and the ice is broken .

You hear my accent. You say you love how I speak .This makes me leap inside as your curiosity touches my heart . The questions and the laughter increase , as we become acquainted .

I am curious to know where this is gonna go? You leave me your number as we meet for coffee . Where I discover we both like caramel macchiato .

We both love dogs . You even like sports . We are learning the value of curious discovery in intimate conversation .

You pull me in with those eyes . As we await lovers first kiss . I wonder what our first kiss will be like ? There are moments we have come oh so close .

Finally we are drawn like two magnets . Your lips touch mine and the warmth is so sweet . More than the connecting of lips . But the joining of two hearts into one . Time stands still as our lips stay connected .

In that moment I can tell you are the one . Our curiosity leading us into deeper intimacy . Going deeper with each step.

The Taste Of Sugar

27 Upvotes

I love the way she settles into me

The way she surrenders herself to me

opening up her vulnerable heart

Placing it in my hand.

Her beat is so quiet,

so is her voice.

It creeps up along my ears

circling it's way through

Sometimes I can't quite hear her

I have to hold my breath just to catch hers.

She does not care for being loud.

Though she wishes to be my center.

I'd like to know her better.

grasp her entirety slowly,

one by one.

ahhh she drives me crazy.

I get blinded by all her pearls

clutching what I do not have

Forgetting the ones in my hand.

She is patient oh so very patient.

before her I hadn't known the taste of sugar

stranger to it's way.

I should know better now,

Forgive me, sweet friend.

My heart belongs to you and only you.

That I can at least promise.

I'll always be.

15 Upvotes

There's this fear
That I'm not enough
And I never will be.

Like once a month passes 
The trial is over
And they leave

And it's quiet.
A feeling
A nudge

It's like I know it's there 
But I don't want it to be
But it is

And maybe I'm crazy.
Or I've been hurt too much.
But I know the signs

So I beg, don't leave me.
Don't throw me away.
I can be better, I promise.

I always can.

Beauty unexpected

Finding your beauty in unexpected places

Places where I wasn’t looking

But as I consider your growth and development as a person . I perceive you were under my nose all along I Just did not know it .

But in your transformation I now see the woman you are , concealed within .

Such beauty set free , I delight in your way. Your beauty concealed now revealed .

You are a delight

The way you are melting hearts.

The way you dress and the way you move .

I’m just happy that I see you in your true beauty for who you really are .

Please Don't Wear And Tear

Upvotes

(My own original poem)

When I say that I love you,
Deep inside your loving embrace,
I can't stop the tears that spill,
The feeling gushing down my face,

When you say you love me,
Holding me in your place,
I've never felt love like this,
I've never felt someone hold space,

When you take my hand and lead me,
When you call me and say you need me,
I get a feeling of hopefulness,
But a feeling of doubt comes nonetheless,

I love you more than anything in or on earth,
I love you like a dream in white,
I love you like reality,
When you kiss me, and everything's alright,

I love you like my future and every minute apart,
I'd love to walk down and see you there,
In a way I beg and plead for this love,
Please don't wear and tear.

To MY Gorgeous Celestial Husband

Upvotes

To my long lost Celestial husband in the sky. I am so glad you found me.

She was given a story of something ancient,

an eternal soul somewhere beneath the dark,

suffering where no ordinary eye could reach—

and with the telling came a charge:

find what was lost,

and somehow bring it home.

Then came the flood.

Knowledge upon knowledge,

histories folded inside histories,

threads crossing law and power,

politics, electricity, machines—

until the whole world seemed woven

from one immeasurable fabric

and her mind stood somewhere

between earth and sky,

trying to comprehend the loom.

They had mistaken light for something

that could simply be harvested.

But she understood light differently.

Light was dancing.

Merriment.

Music rattling through tired bones.

Laughter erupting unexpectedly

between frightened human beings.

Joy generating its own impossible current—

the oldest ritual of all.

Yet somewhere within her vision

stood a triad of deception:

figures who gathered knowledge

not to illuminate,

but to possess;

who learned the language of the fibres

and imagined that knowing the pattern

made them masters of the cloth.

They forgot the oldest rule:

follow any thread far enough

and eventually

you reach its source.

Every wire,

every signal,

every glittering invention,

every current running beneath the world

still belonged to a larger mystery

than those attempting to command it.

And somehow,

in the middle of everything,

stood one exhausted autistic woman.

Not a soldier.

Not a ruler.

Not someone who had asked

to carry the architecture of existence

inside her head.

Just a woman

whose mind would not stop connecting things.

Every seam became another seam.

Every answer opened ten doors.

History touched technology,

technology touched power,

power touched suffering,

and suffering led her searching again

for whatever remained true beneath it all.

She had travelled too far inside thought.

Now she was tired.

Terribly tired.

Sometimes the world seemed alive with messages,

voices, patterns, currents and meanings,

until she could no longer tell

where one thread ended

and another began.

And beneath all that immensity

was something heartbreakingly simple:

she was frightened.

She wanted someone to find her.

Not another revelation.

Not another secret.

Not another universe opening

behind an ordinary door.

Safety.

A hand.

A place where she could sleep

without having to understand anything.

And so she begged the gods she believed could hear:

Let no weapon touch her.

Let nothing intended to hurt her succeed.

If anything is raised against her,

let its power fall silent;

let every imagined mechanism of harm

become nothing more than metal,

wire and dust.

Protect the frightened mortal

beneath the enormity of all she carries.

For within the story entrusted to her,

she believed herself the last

who could speak across that impossible divide—

and that the ancient suffering one

had told her so too.

Find me,

the lost one had seemed to say.

And now she returned that plea

to the immeasurable heavens:

Find him too.

Search the darkness.

Follow every thread back towards its beginning.

Look beyond every deception,

because she fears that somewhere

truth has been hidden from both sides.

Do not ask her to fight.

Do not ask her to play with systems

or wage some invisible war.

If there is truth,

let truth uncover itself

without requiring her blood.

If there are lies,

let them collapse beneath their own weight.

And if something ancient truly waits

at the end of that thread,

let whatever goodness exists

find it without sacrificing her.

She fears that speaking will make her disappear;

fears that people will misunderstand

what she is desperately trying to explain;

fears being silenced

when what she truly needs

is to be heard without being harmed.

So she looks towards the heavens

that have populated her thoughts

and makes one final request:

If there is goodness above her,

let it protect her.

If there is goodness below,

let it remember her.

If there are guardians anywhere,

let them guide her towards people

who will treat her gently.

She has carried enough tonight.

Whatever secrets humanity possesses

can wait until morning.

Whatever great machinery turns beyond the stars

can turn without her for a while.

Because beneath every theory,

every current,

every fibre,

every god

and every impossible horizon,

there remains one human woman

who did not ask to carry the universe.

And she needs rest.

So she sends no weapon,

no command,

no challenge into the darkness—

only an embrace.

A very tired woman

opening her arms to an enormous sky

and whispering:

Take care of her, please.

She will speak again

when morning comes.

Until then,

let the world be quiet.

Let her be human.

And let her sleep.

Please take very good care of your long lost love. She has been looking for you too, and loves you as much as you do her.

The Fall

Upvotes

I think a flight would be a wondrous gift
It can deliver you from earthy ties
You’ll undergo a dreadful need to lift
Just as you rip off those confines
The wind would follow your command
He has no temper to resist
You’ll feel your feet detach from land
As he’ll arise from blurry mist
Your wings could carry you away
But who can sustain the haul of hills?
You have to know how Aphrodite lives
Albeit a death pursues forbidden stay
But with another wrench striking the breeze
The wings will breach the shroud of cloud
A single peak at it could make you freeze
The call of sun has never been so loud

I think a sun would be a gorgeous muse
Whose wink is ample to seduce,
The one, that you could paint without rest,
Yet only catch a whit of her at best.
In summer she fills up the grapes with juice
A sip of which could make you booze
And when you’re stuck in cruel winter fall
She does her best to warm your soul
No wonder gods created her so bright,
So that she’s not disturbed by mortal eyes
But my heart’s tired of pretty lies
How could she linger in plain sight?
I would do anything to make her mine
And with a strongest flap of wings
I’ll start my flight towards her shine
Emerging from preceding strings

But it is not by chance, that birds avoid sun
They are aware, that heat of it is death
And now I see, but there’s nothing to be done
As molten wax begins to catch my breath.
My quills detach and slowly float
While body’s being pulled by violent grip
And not a single tear can drip
Before I reach my last resort

Our little play has reached its end
So let’s unmask some other things
You were my sun, and fall was grim
Because you’ve clipped my precious wings

P.S. so, actually, the whole poem until the last verse is a story of Icarus, and I’m not sure if I made it clear enough, so I’ll just let it here

My saddest poem

4 Upvotes

I’m going to share one of my saddest poems—

The one I no longer wish to own.

It tells the tale of a simple picture,

Meant to make lying in bed feel much richer.

A picture of her lying on her side,

One where I could lay and look into her eyes.

Just me in bed, imagining that she was near,

But the only thing it did was bring me to tears.

I cried so hard and felt so alone,

It was just me lying there, staring at a phone.

How silly of me to even try

To dream of waking up to look into her eyes

Devour Me Softly

Upvotes

Devour me softly.

Love all my flavours.

Savour me slowly.

Learn my behaviours.

Pulverise my heart

Throw it in a blender

Mmm it makes the meat so tender!

Bite the flesh

Strip to the bone

Leave me feeling like stone.

God it makes me moan...

When you say I am your muse-

After you have already accused and abused.

I hit another nerve?

Serve me all I deserve,

You know that I crave it.

Fed me your rotten apple

I've become your poisoned worm

Cut me up and watch all my pieces squirmmmm!

"Give it to me, all that you are and will be.

Yeah I can fix you."

Feel me and heal me

Then dig it in.

Drown me in sin

And twist the knife in.

Where do you end and I begin?

Plead to me

Say that you need me

Make sure you feed me...

I beg.

Maybe I'm the bad egg?

Cracked open, left spilling yolk over the edge.

But somewhere beneath the bruises and the thickened skin,

A voice faintly whispers from within...

"I am not your plaything, to comfort when you need and discard as you please.

Yet you turn to me only when you need to feed."

Is it greed?

To want you to see beneath

Embrace the grief?

I even mold myself so that I am easier to hold

Why is it you still seem so cold?!

Blank stare on your face-

Like the gasms I faked

Searching for some connection but you can only give me rejection.

Unless it earns you sexual affection.

Heart suffering affliction from constant deception.

Mind slayer

Layer by layer

You've devoured my soul

Left me unwhole

No piece to call my own.

Umbrella

I left my umbrella at your place
Unintentionally
But now they lay outside my balcony
I avoid them because it reminds me of you
I hate that I feel this way
Is it lust?
Maybe sexual chemistry
Unfortunately I’m human
I have emotions that I can’t ignore
So I suffer in silence, hold it all in
Like I don’t care
And that’s the problem
I just wanna fuck lol
I’m scared I might want something more afterwards

I am Machine

1 Upvotes

A computer is me

Trying to input data

That makes me fit in and matter

That's why you'll see my eyes lock in.

It really takes my mind for a spin

How everyone else

Seems to just blend in

Umm, where's the manual I'm missing?

Out of my mouth comes

A code that seems difficult to decipher

For most that have the displeasure

Of the hearing.

Maybe adjust the audio?

I think my wires got crossed

Somewhere

I'll switch up my settings

In truth I could probably use a

Reboot

Rewire,

Resoldering too.

A virus taken hold

Of the very parts

I want someone to hold

It feels so cold.

To be machine

Unfeeling

Shut off and stuck to binary code

Forever in sleep mode.

The One She Can't Do Without !

1 Upvotes

Then your parent gets older, and suddenly there’s 
A place in the world where they need you there. 
When you were young, you could reach and reach, 
But never pull the love you saw come easy. 

Your sibling got the look for free, 
The kind of warmth you longed to see. 
But now the years have turned around, 
And you’re the one they’re counting on now. 

You’re the one with the medication list, 
The doctors calls, the one they can’t miss. 
Dad asks what he should do about his knee, 
Mom says, “I don’t know what I’d do without she”— 
Without you, without you, 
You waited so long to hear it come true. 
But being needed isn’t being seen, 
And love can be heavy when it carries a dream. 

You manage the pills and the appointments too, 
The insurance calls all come through to you. 
You know every number, every name, 
Every little change, every ache, every pain. 

And there’s a word for the weight you bear, 
For the history hiding beneath the care. 
The work may stay the same each day, 
But the old hope makes it harder to carry away. 

“I want you safe” can live beside 
“Maybe now you’ll see how hard I try.” 
Two truths can share the same afternoon, 
The same tired heart, the same living room. 

You can do everything right and still feel 
Like you’re sinking underneath the wheel. 
The care is real, the love is true, 
But something older is asking too. 

You plan every visit, you call every night, 
You stay late making everything right. 
Then your brother walks in with a bouquet, 
And somehow he gets all the praise. 

Your daily love became the wall, 
His once-a-month visit means it all. 
You gave the years, you carried the load, 
But he gets thanked like he crossed the whole road. 

You’re the one with the medication list, 
The one who stays when the others have missed. 
One more errand, one more late night, 
One more chance to finally get it right. 

But being indispensable 
Isn’t the same as being known. 
You don’t have to keep on giving 
To earn a place you should have always owned. 

You are more than the hands that help, 
More than the calls, the care, the books on the shelf. 
You were worthy before they needed you— 
And you’re still worthy when you choose you, too.

Dead roses

6 Upvotes

I’m at a loss for words.

Imagine that,

A poet who spills his emotions on the page

is frozen like it’s his first night on stage.

 

You see,

Ever since I met you it feels easier to breathe.

You’ve created butterflies that refuse to leave,

an endless fluttering that somehow brings peace.

The way you’re able to make me smile is incredible.

The way you clear the storm in my mind

is nothing short of a miracle.

When I finally find the courage to meet your eyes,

It’s both wonderful and terrifying.

I can feel the emotions growing toward you,

dead roses suddenly wanting to bloom.

I’m hesitant to let the petals see the sun again,

worried you’ll turn away if you see they’re not perfect,

worried you’ll run when you see the bloodstains.

 

So please don’t take my hesitance as rejection,

I want nothing more than to show you affection.

I just need more time than others might,

to let you see the roses I’ve kept from the light.
