tide pools and sunsets
and furious thunderstorms
are captivating.

girls need to hear that
they can be like sunsets, tide
pools, and thunderstorms.

drop it

it's not so hard to let go when there's no reason to keep holding on.

Literature

it rained one year ago today.

so i thought i was invisible; and i could hide from you and your glances that cripple and break me. - so i thought you were deaf; and you couldn't hear me and i didn't have to hide my words along with my actions. - so i thought i was gone; and you weren't a part of me anymore, but you found ways to stay inside of me when i was inside out. - it is cold outside and i'm sitting on your porch waiting for you to come home again; i remember one year ago today, when we stood together in the streets; in traffic. we felt free. we felt safe.

Literature

ineffable

Most days, I can keep the wolves away. I hum happy tunes and pretend they mean something. I busy my hands with mindless work, my mind with shallow routines. But some days, I can't escape. The quiet house aches with your absence, echoes the emptiness of the years yawning before me. And when the sure knowledge that you'll never love me corners me in the silence, my pretense disintegrates, and I can do nothing but weep.

In Love With You

Your untamed soft hands touch me in ways I always crave for, Tease me in sweet ways I could never prepare for, Hold me in between like I am the only one, And always distract me unexpectedly when we kiss. I can feel your love in the movement of your lips, A total warm pleasantness as you cling to me. And maybe a small part of my mind actually registers the surprise, As your warm hands reach curiously for more. In sweetness your love blinds me, In my heart your love completes me, Come tomorrow I hope you'll still crave me, And oh, I think I'm in love with you, completely.

Literature

I know you, I love you

We fall in love with the microscopic, rough-edged details of people. We crave the knowledge of our lovers, crave to know them the way nobody else can. In a way, these idiosyncrasies become our own personal gift, a sliver of our favorite person preserved within ourselves. You love the way he licks his lips twice before saying something important, exactly twice, like he’s counting out two seconds to reclaim his composure. You love how her fingertips smell like turpentine and lavender when she finishes a painting because she doesn’t stop until her brushes are clean, and then she spends too much time trying to scrub her hands fresh.

dear self,

1. tomorrow is not worth waiting for. sure, there will be sunshine (with a slight chance of rain) and sure, some kid will be smiling, and yes, life is still moving on, but it's not like anyone cares. 2. you just want someone to love you, misery and tears and all. maybe you could spend saturdays curled up under the covers, memorizing the patterns of breathing. maybe you could count the seconds but the problem is that there would never be enough, the problem is that there's nothing there to love. 3. no one is listening. 4. i'd write you a letter, but you'd never read it. i'm stuck screaming into my own heart, wonderin

confessions of lostwithoutyou.

i'm not a liar. but i never told you that you always looked best in black. i liked how your skin would fade to a paler shade of perfection and your perfect teeth would glint a little brighter. and i could pretend for an evening that you were my black and white dream come true. and with you there would be no shades of inbetweens and no grays for us to get lost in. i never told you but it's true.   + i was never able to tell you, but i hate the way you cook your 'specialty' eggs. you always laughed over your shoulder and told me that they are the best food i’ll ever eat, that i was blessed to get the chance to taste them melt

i told you that i liked boys who smoked cigarettes, because then i knew that they needed something. i told you that i liked roses without the thorns, because then they wouldnt hurt so much when they got picked. i told you that i liked it when you held my hands because i didnt feel quite so lonely, not quite. i told you that i'd love you 'til the stars exploded and the clouds devoured us- and you said nothing. you said nothing. *** (here's a little history.) in vietnam people hurt other people. people burned themselves- (i wish i was that brave.) they threw chemicals and hid in the ground and laughed when the others cried. its

Closer

too close to see, you are too close to me, an eclipsing gaze, all arms across us, i wouldn't leave, if i could go but you know this - you knew of love once you want to know again, you try to kiss me, as if drawing love out, and breathing love in, die again and again, you'd rather, than death you've almost known, too close for comfort

Literature

Not For Me, For You

not for me to feel - nothing as far as i can see, nothing close to me, my heart is deeper under, the black wells of forget, tears are the only stars i see, why do stars burn to live dreams are mute walls; sky is lost to a vapor moon - i drift, not forever is a veil i will wear to cover me from the absence of myself; i will hide behind the anonymity of trees, for you to feel left behind

Literature

She Dances With Fire

She dances with fire, a dragon in tow. Twirling with flames; graceful and slow She dances tonight, in a city of ash. Her feet leaving footprints, where the sand will splash. Quietly mourning, as time goes by; Where once she beheld a home in her eyes... Yet naught but the barest of bones remain, And so she dances, to soothe the pain.
