My life kinda feels like a romantic musical right now
Every time I think about him I sing and dance
I sing Sinatra
I sing Etta
I sing Whitney
I sing Lana
I sing Stevie
It's like all of a sudden I know every love song by heart
Serendipity
Or repeated mistakes
Concurrencies in synchronicity
I don't like to question it too much
What we have feels like God
Enough to make me wake up every Sunday morning
And sing praises
I hum when singing is an inconvenience
But I like to whisper a few lyrics when no one is around
Someday
When I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And I'll hum the rest to fill that void
I created a secret playlist of every song that reminds me of him
And I daydream of singing every song to him
No stimulate needed
He gets me high
He's like the coin to my jukebox
That last line is corny
But so is singing love songs every day

We are all cursed with emotions unable to withstand
A evolutionary feature gone out of hand
The moment we ate the forbidden fruit was the moment we all sunk deep into guilt and fear of repeating the first of our many sins.
self flagellation was our saving throw, but it made us sink deeper and deeper into the abyss of hell.
every action made us sink deeper and deeper until there was no air to breathe.
we thought we were demons, but in reality we were just their puppets.
There's nothing left here in this fevered mind.
I can't go to heaven when these demons are whispering to me all the things they think I am.
please understand

16 was the age I discovered feminism.
16 is the age I became a vegetarian.
16 is the age I decided I would never read another 17 magazine again.
16 is the age I realized I had been indoctrinated to hate women, to hate myself.
16 is the age I was diagnosed with an eating disorder, not because it started then, but because it was then that I decided to get help.
This isn't a poem
or anything it's just me
me at 16.

"Just The Way You Are" by Billy Joel is the all time best love song. Ever. In the history of love songs this is the best one. Frankie Valli can't compare, and John Legend can't touch it. Bruno Mars can only dream to write a song like this. No other musician that I've listened to from rock, to R&B, to pop, to country, to jazz, and so on don't come close to this song. It's raw, authentic, passionate, and real. It's the one love song that doesn't act like it's all up in the clouds; or that it's all about the person's looks. From the instruments to the words this song is beautiful.
#and yes i know this song is about one of his ex - wives and they both divorced later but it is still the best love song in the world.#best love song ever#this isn't a poem#random rant

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry
#ramblings of a lunatic#dc comics#Jason Todd#batfamily#it's just a fun quirk! it's a fun lil detail and I simply cannot slight ppl for enjoying and incorporating it into works#like obviously jason isn't the only one. I'm a big believer in the batfam having over lapping interests they refuse to bond over#i know dick canonically used the robin hood stories (which are pretty flowery in their language far as i can tell) as inspo for Robin#and i know babs was a librarian and even tho her area of nerddom is characterized as more computery she probably knows quite a lot-#-about literature as well#duke is a hobbyist writer i believe? i saw a fan mention that- which if so is great and I hope he's also a nerd#(i mean he is canonically. i remember him being a puzzle nerd in his introduction. but i mean specifically a lit nerd)#damian called Shakespeare boring but also took acting classes so i think he's more of a theatre kid.#Tim's a dropout and i don't think he's ever shown distinct interest in english lit and i can't remember for Steph?#I'm ngl my brain hyperfocused on musician Steph i forget some of her other interests I'm sorry (minus softball and gymnastics!)#and then Cass had her whole (non linear but it's whatevs) arc about literacy and learning to read#went from struggling to read in batgirl 00 to memorizing Shakespeare in 'tec and is now an avid read in batgirls!#she's shown reading edgar allen poe but we don't know if it's his short stories or his poems#point to all of the above being: i know Jason's not the only lit nerd in the batfam#but also i do need him to be writing poetry in his spare time and reading and reviewing it#jason at the next dead robins society meeting: evening folks today I'll be assigning all of us poems based on laika the space dog#damian and steph who have been kidnapped and brought to jasons warehouse to hangout: LET US GO BITCH#speaking of^ random poem i think jason would like: space dog by alan shapiro#wake up one morning in an unfamiliar more mature body with a profound sense of abandonment. the last four lines. mmm tasty

Teaching the Dog Not to Nip, Jim Moore (2005)
[text ID: Do you think it's easy, not biting the one you love? Try loving someone so much your mouth is only at home in the place where your teeth meet the flesh of your beloved. Try not tasting the flesh, not taking in your mouth the beloved, not going all the way.]

Le sang coule à longs flots de sa poitrine ouverte ; En vain il a des mers fouillé la profondeur ; L'océan était vide et la plage déserte ; Pour toute nourriture il apporte son cœur. […] Et, regardant couler sa sanglante mamelle, Sur son festin de mort il s'affaisse et chancelle, Ivre de volupté, de tendresse et d'horreur.
The blood runs in slow waves from his open chest In vain has he plumbed the depths of the seas The Ocean is empty and the shore deserted To provide food for all he offers his heart. […] And, watching his bloody breast drop On his death-feast he sinks and staggers Drunk on pleasure, on tenderness and horror.
-Alfred de Musset, La Nuit de Mai

[the hunter’s son watches the hunter. the hunter paints more rings on his glasses. everything is a target, says the hunter. no matter where you look. the hunter’s son says nothing, and closes his eyes.

SKAÐI
"Wife of Njörðr, woman of cold. She the wanderer of woods; the huntress in the snow. The winter's moon calls to her, with the wolves that follow her. With her bow and arrow, she aims ahead on a stag with no place to roam."
