[cemetery-fox]

I'm back In a dark place My descent Is a midnight haze My disgrace Has a cherry aftertaste Like a fern that was Glazed in slick rain I'm tilting and wilting I've been made Wispy by weight My gaze stains Like maroon paint I'm flattened in This spell of gray Was I ever alive In wild violets? Have I ever Smiled?

A Word To Israel

How does a string not break Against a chain and a stone We say none But they go on I’m so sick of this song This isn’t made for no one But when the ground shakes and the lights go out There will be no doubt Revenge is coming about A pierce to the ear The blinding of an eye Flames coming up your thigh Hoping it a bad trip and just high Maybe if you ask forgiveness The Lord might be nigh What you done to another Didn’t think it matter This world for you You were sure But it never were It was for us Take you away on the bus To the place of dust You’ll stay there till you Rust May someone make a fuss But no one must You were made up Built on a lie Now look at you You missing an eye

I'm putting together a couple of anthology books for publication.

So far, I have finished "Made with Love" and I'm working on "Malfunctions".

Made with Love is a collection of love poems.

Malfunctions is a collection of mental health and chronic illness poems.

Can't shake that holiday spirit, baby 🎄

[kittyp333]

the flutter in my chest spins around encased in flesh. it loves me, it’s sweet; every time it’s wings flap, i get the feeling of an eyelash kiss inside my throbbing heart

poetry makes me sad thats why I read it

it helps me heal

The poetry I found on tumblr as a teen made me feel so seen and validated.

I was at a very low point (for a very long time) and as I have grown and healed (or at least begun to process what has happened) I decided it was time for me to contribute. To be the tumblr poet for the next generation.

If sad poetry helps you heal, read as much of it as you can! One day, hopefully you'll move on to lighter poetry that makes you happy ♡

The Tradwife or The Porn Star

The men annoy me. The men destroy me. The men are boring. The men misunderstand me. The men abandon me. The men can't handle me. The men treat me like candy; They grab me by the handful, They swallow me whole. The men treat me like I'm only A series of holes. The men are easy to fool. The men are something to do. The men are harbingers of doom. The men paint me in dark blues. The men ruin my soft moods. The men are simplistic. The men are animalistic. The men are all the same. The men play a rigged game. The men want to impress me. The men want to undress me. The men want to confess to me. The men depress me. The men try to categorize me: The Madonna or the whore. The nag or the floor boards. The wild wave or the safe shore. The tradwife or the porn star. The detective or the getaway car.

Shoe Polish Reality

And my God, I know it was given in

good faith,

But this reality tastes far harsher than

anything I can take.

When Jesus Says What Did You Do

Gaza a busted place Rubble in place of flowers Where once were towers Israel just wants a clean shower Remove the people Bulldoze the dust Build back a must But you won’t get your clean shower The people will stay The people will pray Build back they may They will

Justice may take time But the debt will be paid You’ll find Would have been better if you had been kind When Jesus comes and says What have you done Try to speak But your answer will just be a shriek You who killed the prophets With bombs and rockets Blessed are the meek They will rule You thought it would be you

When the ground shakes Your temples collapse You will be left in the street In the cold Without a blanket or even a sheet Naked At his feet As it is written So you shall see Life God has given Is not yours to take Wishing for a storm To wash away the guilt and shame Hope that when you pray Forgiveness might be given that day

Literal poet 💅 Missing Houston (and my apparent lack of shame) lately. I've lived in many places and always feel on the hunt for "home." 

Where feels "home" for you? 🏠
