i am scooping up stars. packing galaxies into open pores. attempting to eliminate the void. year after year, the emptiness stretches. you ask me why i’m sad. and my response is...how are you not?

we breathe in waves of courage of strength while treasonous clouds rain anxious doubt nightfall beats a chaotic melody but moonlight brings peace we wake anchored to the earth, dandelion worries taking flight with the wind we flow with the flowers, curiosity alive in our veins

lose yourself in a field of flowers. stand in the rain. soak up the sun. sleep beneath the stars. there will be days everything feels like it’s falling apart, but i need you to remember there are good things too.

I lost the words a long time ago.

it’s in the crash of salty waves, the hush of the forest, the little crackles of ice - that soft rustling of poetry that only nature knows how to speak

listen to the trees whisper poetry

you made red flags read like a romance language, and i devoured them like poetry

she is poetry and nightmares, sweet songs and haunted places

poetry built out of freckles and scars

sit with me where the water ends where waves wash cool against the skin of a body still burning fever rush and drugged delight

angel in her eyes, devil on her shoulder
