notice the fluidity of my unbackspaced fingers -
no that’s a lie I need it to be perfect you are perfect and I am
trying so fucking hard to be - you are
the scent of winter mornings, musk
of intimacy, smooth-scratchy whispers
of broken French and
mine. I never need to erase the only truth as unworthy of denial
as the uncertainty of grass behind the fence
we’ll never see past.
you
are mine and your body
utters it, shapes its lucidity
around it. when you see this fluidity
in my clumsy, flimsiness
do you smile?
do you pride yourself a puppeteer
or do you let gravity fall victim
to your contentment’s excuses?
don’t
read this aloud, I have yet
to teach you how to tongue meaning out of my words
till they submit to your vocal intent.
your arms have learned
intimacy in my accents all over again;
I am a woman of so many words
I will drag you with my uncertainty
till you take it from my unkind sights,
nurse it back to insatiable
thirst and burn our throats enough
to show novice windows how it’s done
show me how it is done.
walk fear to the cul-de-sac and make it stay
so it never comes back and make it remember
that these embers cry for firewood when all we’ve done
is chop trees when we forgot
you are mine and there is no forgetting
remember that seeing you feels like
watching a drunkerd spill his thoughts into a microphone;
I can’t stop snapping my fingers around you
where were you standing when the ground
swept from beneath these piscean feet?
yes I still believe in stars and yes
I will ask you to name constellations and yes
I am taut like locks in hairpins and prim
the way thoughts are conditioned
but it’s only because I’m missing the ease I had
to hate me. when you call me beautiful I want
to keep my eyes open, I want to watch
warmth tickle your pomacious cheeks as you
digress and insist
I will not resist this
I am calculated to chaos, a storm
in its humble wake and you have made
peace with my rumbling quakes.
Our Dream, One Perfect Reality
I Love The Way You Love Me
i only ever write when i'm half asleep now.
sweet jesus...I can't leave dA. writers like you and others who hold the potential to be as brilliant as you or are already reaching their brilliancy need to be fucking told how amazing their work is.
/rant
so of these newer poems of yours I've read, you rock the endings. like, I thought it was beautiful as a whole but those endings always grab me the most. I think why the endings are so stellar to me is because maybe your style is becoming a post-rock song? what I mean is it crescendos. you are mastering that art of build-up and wonderfully satisfying release. as I read I am like, oooh I like this line (ex: smooth-scratchy whispers of broken French) and then you step softly to the next great line (ex:
don’t
read this aloud, I have yet
to teach you how to tongue meaning out of my words)
and then I reach the last couple of stanzas where every line is dependent on the one previous and the one to come. the whole end is just one big tidal wave.
great work ^^
