Sunset boy, show me your flames
Let me know how soft they can be
Turn my forest into ruins
And then put me out with your summer rain
Sunshine lover, tell me how it feels
To walk barefoot through the grass
Show me
How it feels to be safe again
To write with pencils
And not be terrified
^^^ I can FEEL THE AESTHETIC VIBES OFF OF THIS!!!

inktober #14 - armor
you wear your armor just beneath your stone-flesh
and gnash pearl teeth when you're frightened.
you never stop holding your gun to the spot between my eyes
and when you sleep you do it with fists clenched.
won't you tell me what hurt you, marble boy?
no one bleeds that red unless they carry a bony history
Bruh- I mean, beautiful

BREAKING NEWS
It only takes about 3 years to
make it to Saturn, if we leave
in the next few days and walk
at a quick clip, and with you
that's hardly any time at all.
Our sneakers will look neat
on the intergalactic sidewalks,
comfy quiet punctuated by
the clicking of suitcase wheels,
and if you get hungry we can
scoop from the air a meal of
nebulae and glitter and the
energy of our hands– holding
each other in the quietest way.
(It always works because my
hands are always cold and you
run warm). So pack your bags,
my dear, we don't need any rocket,
we can begin when you're
ready, and count blades of grass
and mushroom tops peaking
up from the cracks in the cement
as we go.
Dang can I go now? I’m getting tired of this planet
How do these poems just have pure aesthetic energy in them??

because we all just want love n that feeds very well into The Vibes tm
… fair enough, and that explains why my poems do not turn out that way….

Your smile
A glow unrivaled
against pure, unblemished skin.
Freckles like flickers.
Hair like the night sky.
A beauty I want to hold onto.
The beauty you hold onto.
Smiling together,
I just want to be with you forever.
But I can only hold your hand for so long
before my forever is gone.
And you sit around
for another 10 billion years.
Then die just to live on.
This fate is so, so painful–
falling in love with you.
Falling in love with a star.

There’s a bitter-sweet taste on my tongue,
A hellfire burning with rage in my throat,
My emotions are desert-dry wrung,
I’m drowning rather than staying afloat,
And my mind’s dark as charcoal,
Too far out of the realm of my control.

ah sick i'm glad to hear it! writing stuff about mental stuff is always a gamble when experiences vary so much.
two thumbs up Well you nailed it for me!

needed something lighter, i think
Ooooooohhhhhhh I love this. I’ve definitely felt something akin to this before
If The Lights went out:
If the lights
Suddenly switched off
Would you be afraid.
Would you be so scared
That you’d wrap yourself in your blankets
And lay on your bed
Cowering under your blankets
Hoping the darkness would go away
Or suddenly end.
Would you cry out for help
Hoping someone would come, and turn the lights back on.
Would you wait until your eyes
adjusted to the dark.
Until you adjusted to the dark
So much that the dark wasn’t so bad?
Until you were so used to the dark
You didn’t care anymore?
Or would you immediately pull your blankets back, and get out of your bed.
Even though you cannot see?
You’d trip over your stuff, and bump into your dresser
Knowing that
Would you stop.
Or keep going knowing you could trip, and fall.
Would you continue on.
Until you find your light switch.
Or would you give in
Fearing what could or could not happen?
And what if when you got there
Scratched and bruised
The light switch just wouldn’t turn on?
Would you stand there trying to turn the light on
over and over.
Or would you walk on
Tripping and bumping into things
Until you found a flashlight.
Then would you use it until you could figure out how to turn the rest of the lights on.
Would you decide that what you have
Is not enough, and finally give in.
Or would you use it anyway?
Even though the flashlight is nothing compared to what you had
Before, it at least is light.
So grip your flashlight tight
Do not let go,
And remember
Darkness only lasts however long it takes us to find the light.
