You have a place in my heart no one else ever could have.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

[littmel15-blog]

I want someone who wants me as much as i want them. To fight for me when i want to leave, and hold me on days that are hard. I just want to finally be loved in the way that i so deeply love others.

"But I'm not perfect," she said. "And still," I whispered, "even the moon has its shadows, yet it remains the most beautiful thing in the night."

Am I deceiving you?

I said your hair was starfire,

Which brings to mind red hair,

Not blonde,

I said your eyes were tears,

So they would surely be blue,

Not grey,

Am I deceiving you?

Did you get too close, did I

Start to lead you astray,

Have I hidden Lies within rhymes,

Have I hidden the Truth from you,

Have I?

Or is this a Lie too,

Am I deceiving you?

You cannot trust me,

My silver words have been

Mislabelled, they are mercury,

And they will poison you.

No matter what I say,

You cannot trust me,

Am I deceiving you?

I learnt to Lie when I was

Young, half-truths spread

With sticky fingers

As I grew older I learnt

To lie with my face as well

As words,

Am I deceiving you?

Or am I Echo, throwing you a

Story to chase until you learn

It is not true,

Am I deceiving you?

[wildehedonist]

Be my darling, won’t you?

Love me

Hold me

Eat me

Until I am a pile of bones

Devour my scarlet blood that fills my cheeks, that fills my breast,

So maybe I can feel alive again as you spit me up and choke—

as I seep into the verdant strokes of grass,

so I can feed the organisms,

It all goes back into the thrush

And the organisms.

“For you, my mind will distort into a useless clump of nerves, blood, and tissue, unable to let go of your presence. My body will always sway to your direction in order to bask in the light of your smile, my lips yearning for yours. For you, my knees will have grown countless of bruises, and scrapes, being heavily disfigured from the excruciatingly long hours in which I had prayed, begged, for my affection to reach behind the wide cactus walls surrounding your heart. However, I shall halt my thoughts and tear my beating heart out of my chest, shattering my ribcage, all to avoid your acknowledgment. All, to avoid that look to stain your eyes, that gaze of disappointment and utter disgust as you begin to view me as a maggot clawing at your legs for a morsel of attention from another whose true heart is not mine to witness.” - Sophia

That elusive thing

[fleur-de-lamour]

Meet me at the spot where saltwater and freshwater mingle. Make me believe that someday we can make our way to each other, too

-until I met you

[clara-lewis3]

I want you to bite into me as if I were the most undeniable fruit. I want you to caress me as you would a sick dog. I want you to wear me as you do with your heart.

I wrote this poem about how it was love at first sight when I met my wife almost 20 years ago. We have been married almost 18 years now. We have been through a lot together, but our love remains even after all those years! Here is my poem, Enjoy!

Title: Eternal Love's First Glimpse

In a world where time stood still, Where destiny wove its tender will, I gazed upon a wondrous sight, A vision bathed in golden light. Her eyes, like sapphire pools, so deep, Drew me in, made my heart skip a beat. Blonde locks cascaded, a radiant crown, Her beauty surpassed all I had known. She possessed a figure, heavenly blessed, Curves that enticed, left me breathless. And oh, that smile, a celestial ray, Melting doubts, chasing shadows away. A flirtatious charm danced in her gaze, A playful spirit set my heart ablaze. Her Giggles and laughter filled the air, Her energy infectious, beyond compare. She was a goddess, my heart's decree,In her presence, I felt joyfully free. Every facet, every glimpse, perfection defined, A love so immense, it transcended time. If I could relive those early days, A single day, in love's sweet haze, I'd seize the chance with a beating heart, To bask in love's glow from the very start. For even after the first date's embrace, It felt like we'd known each other for days. Amidst skepticism, doubts others had sown, We proved them wrong, our love had grown. Differences whispered by naysayers' tongues, But love's power silenced their misguided runs. Nearly eighteen years of marriage, hand in hand we've walked, Together, forging a bond that can't be blocked. From that very first moment, I knew it was true, A love that would last, forever me and you. Through highs and lows, trials that came our way, Our love endured, growing stronger each day. So let them marvel at our enduring flame, As we dance through life, united in name. For love's first glimpse, a gift divine, A lifetime of devotion, yours and mine.

Defender of men

They slither off my tongue like soap on a bathtub. Words.

Every time I look at you, my world burns and my heart stabs my lungs open.

The chemistry I feel with you flows around us like butterflies in my stomach.

I want to keep you in my arms, like a dove. I want to give you the world like Gaia.

You tie down my tongue when I think of you, and you grip my soul in your embrace. You are more than gorgeous, dunnock.

I can’t muster a single word as I try to write this. my usual tongue and fingers, studious and sophisticated as the manuscripts of humanity, fall flat on the hard concrete as i describe what you make me feel.

I won’t metaphor my way in my words or subtly put my message.

You might as well be my doom.

But what do you call a man who will only damn himself further as he strays away from his doom?

You are like the moon. Reflexes of you pace around my room both in the shiniest and darkest of nights.

Like Hecate you are a mystery, cold as death as many may call you, your wrath? paranormal.

Oh, how wrong they could be, because just like her origin you are as warm as Helios, as diverse as a iris flower, as clever as Athena, as beautiful as Apollo, as strong and agile as Zeus and as hardworking as Hephaestus.

You mean to me as much as Psyche meant to Eros.

For you I shall become you most loyal dog, if you wish me to. I shall be the Cerberus of your Hades.

I am well aware my feelings fight against the infinity of probability built by the numbers of man. I do not expect of you to give the same back.

Even though you don’t share them or see me with the same eyes. Although you don’t love me I’ll surround you with my love and pray to the gods, even if I have to crawl back like a miserable tainted bastard to the feet of my old god, for your happiness.

My fear is not one of rejection, i have been rejected since i stepped into this land: the deception and heartbreaking essence no longer foreign on my tongue. But one of loss: even though you don’t love me, i do not wish for our union to cease but to move forward and evolve like nature. Even if it means to suffer in silence, to condemn my soul to eternal suffering? If it is for you, absolutely.

In the mist of the moon I say you, And you were lovelier than the moon. You were darkness.

Langston Hughes, from In the Mist of the Moon.

am i in your head as much as your in mine?

[piningpitifulpine]

Gentle

Today, I stopped myself from thinking about all the ways you move me. So, I walked firm on my predetermined path. There's something lonely about moving steadily forward.

I can't shake the feeling to look for it. On the wind, in the deep, refreshing sighs. Where memories take me to open rooms and restless nights. When my body aches and I find myself nearly satisfied, so close to being enraptured by living.

Today, I walked about with a clear mind, content, a little happy, needy as I've ever been. And purposefully, I found you.

My Love 🤍 Poem by: J

Paint my lips with water lilies

While your hand rest on my breast

Hold your breath as I breathe out

So I may breathe the air in your chest

Guide my spine as I curl into you

Like ocean water kissing the sand

Lead my aura towards your light

As mahina glistens through the night

Lead my spirit towards your heart

As the wind dances through the palms

Let my female essence bloom

As the spring flowers begin to blossom

Water brings life like you hold my heart

You are my mana, my sweet sweetheart

You are kanaka and I am wahine

You are my love, forever my mystery

Give me decadence, bring me difficulty

With vulnerable love

We’ll make history.
