HOLE

There's a hole

in my soul

still cut to your shape

that all the world's wonders

cannot erase.

Pas de Deux

Let's get lost and twirl under the moonlight I love you just the way you are This three AM drunken madness A pas de deux upon my heart Please do not remix/repurpose this poem

Soft Pink

Soft pink feels like... A hat knit with care The walls of a cozy home Roses in the backyard The blush of a sunset Holding hands with the ones I love Please do not reblog to NSFW/18+ blogs

CLEAN

After all

was said and done,

I wished for rain,

the kind that would

pour down

drop

by

drop

and wash me clean.

This Unholy Temple

You stab me so sweetly Is this love or is this pain? My name falls from your lips in the temple of your bedroom, but I can only leave you again Please do not remix/repurpose this poem

Author’s Note below the cut

This poem was done as a writing exercise to get into characters’ heads as I plan out future stories and for my prompt on Instagram “The Ides of March”. The opening lines are meant to reflect the emotional journey taken through one of these future stories as well as refer to Julius Caesar.

Hi, everyone,

I’ve been debating whether to post my next poem here or not, but after some reflection and consulting with my friend @neoninkstains​ I have decided to do so. With how I intend it to be read, it has a PG-13 rating for some implied sensuality but nothing explicit will be in the poem. If you would like to avoid seeing this, please block these tags:

cw: implied sensuality

tw: implied sensuality

I also make references to Julius Caesar throughout the poem such as stabbing, though it’s meant to be in an emotional sense in the poem. If you would like to avoid seeing it for this reason, please block these tags:

cw: stabbing mention

tw: stabbing mention

There will also be an author’s note below a cut that will summarize some of these points for anyone who wishes to see it.

Take care, all!

And if I had a bird's eye view, I would watch the world turn green as dandelion dreams float on the breeze and the cycle begins anew Please do not reblog to NSFW/18+ blogs

Who We’ve Been

And perhaps time will steal all things before the end, but it'll never steal who we've known and who we've been Please do not reblog to NSFW/18+ blogs
