i have decided
that i am re-writing my own story
and i’ve cast us as the protagonists
i hope you don’t mind
i’ve painted us in this
electric blue light
and we kind of just
glow
and we don’t even do much
we go to the zoo and
you call me monkey
and we lie in bed
for days
and my eyes trace your hair line
and my mind wonders
if our kids will have your jaw
and somehow
what we have
is all the world really needs
to keep on
keeping on
and we have saved the day
again

lately i've been finding myself
forgetting to inhale
reminding myself
to breathe about you
and lately i've been finding myself
thinking
drinking
about you
and in between sips
and trips
i tend to think about
the way
you maintain that certain amount of distance between us
when we wake up in the morning
when you watch my face
like you're waiting for hints
like you have no clue
that all i'm thinking about
all i ever think about
is that i wish
you would pull me
closer
it's just that
i remember
you hated it when i was cold
and i remember
that when i woke up
you did too
to hold me
and remind me you
were still there
now
i wake up
and you're not
still there
and i
am cold
all the time
and it's just that
i tried not to write about you
because if i didn't
it meant i
didn't love you
but here i am
words
disjointed
and mind
disjointed
and i guess
i guess i did
i guess i loved you
love you
cloaked in universes by singmelovesongs, literature
Literature
cloaked in universes
i want to feel the air
and touch the sky
because it's so close
i want to wrap my fingers
in the clouds and
drag
them down around my shoulders
i want the universe to expand for me
to eat me up whole
and i want to touch the sky
i want to tear open my lungs
and saturate them with atmosphere
i want to stand
with my arms wide open
and feel the sky in my fingertips
i want to touch the sky
and i want to know
that even if i am alone
i will have the sky
i will have touched the sky
i want to touch the sky
i want to wear a cloak of universes
and i want you to feel all of them
i want the stars to touch your nerve endings
and explode
i want to feel th
you have brought out every inch of crazy
i am not a jealous
nail biting bitch
singing swear words in cabs
and punching bedroom walls
i am
nonchalant
a little too good looking
and funny as hell
but you bring out
all shades of insanity
and i am officially
salivating at the thought
of ripping her tiny shorts
to even smaller shreds
and giving her
a bald spot
because she rubbed her ass
on your cock
do you care?
no
do i?
fuck you
benign essential tremors by singmelovesongs, literature
Literature
benign essential tremors
a shaky hand to hold your drink
a quivering finger to point out your flaws
a pre-earthquake rumble through your limbs to spill your contents
fragile
handle with care
a shaky hand to spill your drink
what's benign about a tremor
a warning
a rumble through the jungle
a menagerie of trembles
what's benign about losing control
i'll tell you
maybe
just maybe
it won't kill me
oh goodie
thank god for that
thank god for benign essential tremors
maybe i should lose control
surrender to benign essential tremors
hear your voice and feel you
a pentecostal experience
where your nerve endings
become my nerve endings

you are a flower of wrath by singmelovesongs, literature
Literature
you are a flower of wrath
you are a flower of wrath
a poison laced with beauty
a melancholic love potion
waiting to be drunk
a poison laced with beauty
you are havoc in a sunday hat
waiting to be drunk
to be relished just one more time
you are havoc in a sunday hat
your petals fall one by one
to be relished just one more time
you explore you consume you destroy
your petals fall one by one
a melancholic love potion
you explore you consume you destroy
you are a flower of wrath
lover dressed in ink by singmelovesongs, literature
Literature
lover dressed in ink
you are
a walking piece of art
ink fed dreams of clouds and skies
merged into breath of dragons
and when you cry
the crystalline salt
lights up the eyes of the
woman on your chest
and she dances across your sternum
a slow sweet cadence
seducing the dragon who breathes
down your ribs and
into your pelvis
where a single rose
a single rose for me
sits and blooms
and dies
one petal at a time

oh! to lose ones mind!
to have it sieved and filtered

to have it condensed

what a joy!
to lose a trail of thought three words long
to forget the name of his favourite song
oh! to lose ones mind!
delusion is a pretty powerful drug and
it will tell you
that dreams and
aspirations
are attainable
and is it weird
that i'm more worried about
not having dreams and
aspirations
than not being
able to attain them?
delusion is an attainable drug
for dreams and
aspirations
and is it weird that it
makes you worried
about dreams and
aspirations
having being attained?
dreams and
aspirations
are
delusional drugs
to be attained
and it is weird that
they are everywhere
but nowhere
and entirely
unattainable.
