plains drifter

30s | lesbian | tired old soul | words and poems are mine alone | any and every lesbian can claim sanctuary here | men are not welcome

[miserablemodernsappho]

the injured fawn gets to die,

the heart is given no relief

she's a bleeding, aching, gaping hole in the chest

she must endure

[miserablemodernsappho]

I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you

[miserablemodernsappho]

your arms, my arms, your heart, my heart

copper, tin, silver, and lead

[miserablemodernsappho]

oh! the plains, oh! the valleys

smothered by poison smoke

flowers wither and die under black clouds

but life remains and the valley forgets the hurt

and the eminence of love stays true

[miserablemodernsappho]

Goodnight my love

[miserablemodernsappho]

peace is upon us,

just hold me tight

[miserablemodernsappho]

hopeless lover girl,

wherever the pebble falls

her leashed heart follows,

saint of suffering, saint of surprise

[miserablemodernsappho]

is it supposed to hurt this much? and should I love the hurt too?

I'm still alive, and love so much!

[miserablemodernsappho]

seated at my roost to weep another day

[miserablemodernsappho]

the most cruel day of the week arrives early,

mourning at dawn, hide your tears

[miserablemodernsappho]

we have to make it another day,

across the bridge and under the sun

until then i'll carry the moon on my back

and think of you anyway

[miserablemodernsappho]

garden of sincerity, trampled

let the men's blood spill,

they will not be missed by anyone

[miserablemodernsappho]

even on a perfect night,

i find myself weeping

aching and reaching,

joy and misery,

still i bleed terribly

[miserablemodernsappho]

i miss her madly, but i am happy

i will wither away without her, but i am happy

tears are falling, but i am happy

[miserablemodernsappho]

a hazy thought half-remembered,

in the morning, in her arms

glory

[miserablemodernsappho]

overcome with pride

we fill our cups together,

drink to our love and our future,

and slumber in each other's hearts

[miserablemodernsappho]

I LOVE YOU, I'M YOUR FOOL

DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH ME

I'M YOURS
