[aureumaze]

i leave the door open, a little

enough for the light to spill through

never enough for you to step inside

i let the fire burns small

enough to keep your hand warm

never enough to let it ignite us

i try to let my river flow to you

enough for you to taste the spring

but never let you drown in my water

—a.m.

[alice-syndrome]

All shipping is okay.

If you don't like it go away,

Instead of ruining an artists day,

With a slanderous and hypocritical display.

[cpyyder]

I want to go out more. and I want to take pictures of myself. I want to be with my friends. and I want to hold hands. and spin around barefoot. on fresh grass. and we are laughing so much I need you to show me I’m real. you try to take your hands away from mine. I need you to tell me I’m real. and I’m clutching. and I’m shaking. and I’m begging. and you’re not laughing anymore. why aren’t we laughing anymore? but I never was. everything is blurry and my cheeks are wet. I am praying that I exist.

I forgot how to love

Now I no more feel those butterflies

The glint in my eyes lies

So dim , so dull

Almost as if it's gone

i do not know how to love

Perhaps my heart has forgotten

Forgotten ~ how to love

I always prayed to the once up above

To bestow me with a love

Which feels more than love

But now I stand in a hazy maze

When once my head was filled with craze

Craze ~ to love and to be loved madly

When once I would have

Sufficed my life gladly

Just to be loved by the one I love

Firstly I struggled to unlove

But now my heart has forgotten its own depths

Perhaps my heart has forgotten how to love

I forgot how to love

The only thing which kept me sane

But now ,

I forgot how to love ~K.Y 💗

You Love Her

It’s hard, isn’t it?

To love her in a world that expects you to be someone else,

to feel this pull

and not know how to explain it,

not to anyone,

not even yourself.

It’s harder still,

when every glance feels like a secret

you’re not supposed to keep,

and every touch

leaves a mark you can’t erase.

You love her,

but you can’t tell her.

because the silence

is safer than the truth.

You love her,

but she’ll never know,

and that ache inside

grows deeper everyday,

like something breaking quietly

beneath your ribs.

you hold it all in,

smiling when it hurts the most,

because loving her

feels like a curse you’ll carry forever.

You love her,

and it’s killing you,

but you stay silent,

because loving her

was never meant for you.

Poem by me

[cyberr-v0id]

One day this life will be soft to me.

I will live in an old house in a nice area

and there will be woods and fields nearby for me to roam,

and my house will have heavy wooden doors with locks,

but with gaps under the doorways

so that they do not catch on the floor

as they open.

And in my bedroom

there will be an old four poster

with heavy curtains that can be closed around it,

and the warm glow of fairy lights.

And I will curl up there one evening,

perhaps alone,

perhaps with a cat,

perhaps with someone I love.

And finally, I will be able to sleep

Core of Me

You think you know who I am, lover

You know me so well, you think

You see me as a passionate brave woman

And this is why we won't work together

I'm afraid of everything sweet lover

Everything and Everyone

I am scared of humans

And what they are capable of

That's why I wear this mask of braveness

While I feel fear of things that happened

And might happen.

I feel it till my fingertips

That used to dance over your hips.

I loved you a lot, but see I am a coward

And you aren't a wanderer

You don't wonder

The core of me.

My fears, lover.

[sweet-fox-mari]

I thought I met you at my best

At least, the best I've been so far

I knew I had some ways to go

But I really wasn't expecting you to show

Me all these ways I could stand taller

Or just how strong I could be

You were just the push I needed

To come full circle on my journey

Of self love and improvement

I don't know if I'll ever find a way

Just to express or perfectly say

How thankful I am, for you

[aureumaze]

the hollow space echoes the voice

louder and stronger than the open mouth

and the sound of my name becomes uncertain

does it ever belong to me, at all?

but the silence answers the questions of them all

it burns louder than the words

—a.m.

AAAAH i'm so scared to do this but here we go

"Midnight Muse" by me

~~~

Tell me I'm your midnight muse,

With me on your mind when the sky is wrapped in those dark hues,

Lord knows, you and I, will never have a truce,

Yet how I wish I were your midnight muse.

Tell me I'm your midnight muse,

To lay beside you I've made every excuse,

Lord, how pathetic is this ruse,

For the one that's truly your midnight muse.

Tell me I'm your midnight muse,

I'm the one that's there when all hell breaks loose,

The one that's there to blow the fuse,

Then why am I seldom the one you choose?

Seldom, over your midnight muse.

Tell me I'm your midnight muse,

On my tip toes, I've let myself go loose.

The things I've done to make you choose

My loveless soul to be your midnight muse.

Okay, I love writing but this is my first attempt at poetry, I have written a few others since but this is one that I like a lot and wanted to post. I am open to criticism. Infact, I urge you to do it as I want to grow into a better writer. That being said, please word it kindly. You are criticising poetry, so I am sure you can make good choices of words.

one day I’ll hear the first leaves fall. I’ll taste the sweet ripeness of the sunset as I watch it soften in its descent. I’ll be able touch the low fog as it spills passed my waving hands, and breathe in the smell of the deep breeze.

one day I’ll feel all of life sitting idle in my veins. I’ll have cypress vines grown out of my head and white rose petals formed at the creases of my eyes. the moon will shine from the gaps between my teeth and mushrooms will sprout from my organs.

one day I’ll die to become.

Praise be to the name of my beloved as my heart flutters at the sight of him, a shiver of delight runs down my spine. His curls golden like the rising sun, like rustling fields of wheat in the summer, like the sweetest of honeys. His eyes azure like the shore of the sea, like the clear, cloudless sky, like the brightest of sapphires. His jaw as if carved from a marble, his eyebrows furrowed in thought, his gaze full of wisdom and pride. His lips as full as two hills, leaking with desire against my loins, my skin like a silk under his tongue. His arms like a stone fortress, enclosing me in a ravenous embrace, his chest pressed against my back. His hands hot like heavenly flame, warming me as they squeeze my breasts, his breath heavy on my neck. His hips sinking into my wetness, his flesh inside me swollen with desire seeking the peak of our love.
