i get lost in the galaxies that paint your irises

i get lost in the galaxies that paint your irises
it turns out
that your love
was enough
to teach me how
to love myself
#lovepoetry #shortpoetry #originalpoetry #love #happy #poetry
the darkness sinks its teeth into your heart, its venom courses through your veins and bleeds out ink
and it would kill your soul if it was any other way

every piece of poetry
every drop of prose from the ink
is evidence of the journey i embark
to see all sides of my kaleidoscope
#embark #shortpoetry #vss365 #originalpoetry #darkacademia #melancholia
i just need to see your face
to know that my sacred haven
is still the only place i can
unravel

would it be enough
to find happiness
if i remain to be cursed
by my melancholia?

love is a sanctuary where you can let down your walls and know you’ll be held all the same
try as you might, you cannot change the will of the stars

how much do I have to bleed to know that my suffering matters?
#sadpoetry #darkpoetry #shortpoetry #darkacademia #micropoem
the all-encompassing essence of the hollow is a cutthroat beast
#darkpoetry #originalpoetry #shortpoetry #darkacademia #melancholy #sadpoetry
it turns out the agony meant
that whenever i'd find true love
i would just know
that my place would be next to you
#poetry #originalpoetry #darkacademia #lovepoetry #shortpoetry
even if our arms did not cross our bodies
your warmth enveloped my chest
and brought the colors back
in a landscape of black-and-white
crack my porcelain skin
i am merely your doll
designed for your pleasure
when the stars collide
and when the sky collapses
i wish that you will go know
that the love we shared meant as much to you
as it did to me
My #poem "unspoken baptism"

Grateful, as always, to the wonderful contributors who filled its pages and gave it wings. ❤️🙏
i never knew that the life of solitude
could be this biting
when i believe it to be the cure
the darkness sinks its teeth into your heart, its venom courses through your veins and bleeds out ink
and it would kill your soul if it was any other way
