in the pursuit of whimsy
everyone has fallen for its spell,
the shadows don't disappear
yet blind eyes remain turned

and in the quietest moment
of the night
when all the walls you held up
are crumbled down
are you satisfied with the person
in the body you inhabit?

What if you had a Beloved but could never reach them?

A poem about #love, #longing, #separation, #destiny and #memory. I wrote it in 1984, age 16.

your words of affirmation
that i belong and matter
just as much as you do
is the only #reprieve
that has helped me
save myself

if you have to be tortured to write poetry, then are my words of affirmation merely sweet nothings to the eye of the beholder?

the only way
to #purify your body
rid the demons that took refuge
is to exorcise them through your hand
and bleed it all out
through the ink

3:20 AM

feeling the weight of the world
crushing your delicate, frail body

when all I want
is to make my pillow feel
the weight of my sleeping body
on its delicate, frail body.

— Reckless & Gay

i believed solitude was the cure
for the hollow space in my chest,
when in truth it was your #nuture
that gave me the hope
the light
to save myself

#vss365 #poetry #originalpoetry #shortpoetry #love #warmth #lovepoem

and in the peak of this rapture
i devote my body and soul
to you

i am stuck
in this life
an endless
monochrome
metronome
and i'd give
anything
to shatter
this ticking
and tocking
and learn how
to start liv-
ing again
