24 Hi! Welcome to my personal outlet for poems, jokes, and whatever I feel like writing :) I hope you enjoy <3

Whenever I am traveling

I get a rush of nerves followed by a selfish joy

Because today might be the day when the best thing will happen

Because there’s a small chance that my plane will go down

1 in a million are good enough odds

For a coward who’s eager to lose

Nobody blames you when the plane goes down

Nobody shames you when the plane goes down

Who would blame me for fucking my life up

If the universe takes it first

sometimes people ask me about my gender and I get to talk about feeling like a man in a woman‘s body, not in a dysphoric way, but in the way where a guy switches bodies with a girl in a film and then looks at himself and goes “awooga!”

so to answer the question, I guess my gender is slimeball?

Happy pride 🌈

[northernlightsav]

I‘m glad that I exist in a body that gets to touch yours

[northernlightsav]

me writing lyrics: there’s a beauty when nothing changes, the paper routes, the same old faces, I know you and you know me…

me talking with my girlfriend: brookie brookie good good

Orpheus’ wedding toast

My dearest, Eurydice,

I love you, and I have been in love with you since we first met. Since then music has come alive for me, I have come alive.

Every whine from my violin has started to feel like a declaration of love, for I too have become pathetic out of love for you.

You’re the type of love that everyone longs for but is never lucky enough to have. But I get to be that lucky. I get to be the man who calls you mine. And now that I have you, I don’t want to spend even a moment without you.

Eurydice, I love you; I love you; I love you.

I think there‘s something so beautiful about love

it‘s so visible

no need for explanation

it drips off of our (not so) sneaky glances at each other

and slides over our glowing smiles

into the words I say to you,

into the ones you use to reply to me

culminating in the wondering thoughts of others

“If I didn’t know any better, I‘d think you two were in love”

[northernlightsav]

does anyone else experience this weird phenomenon where time goes 5x as fast as normal when you’re with someone?

like normally time flows pretty normally, sometimes a little faster or slower, yeah of course being around some people/doing fun things makes it go a bit faster

but I‘m talking like 7 hours pass and it feels like 2, even if you’re not doing anything

[northernlightsav]

me after sex: so do you know the song Bang the Doldrums, right? Oh, you‘re not that familiar with it? It was the summer of 2005 - Mikey Way and Pete Wentz…

[northernlightsav]

I smell you on my shirt and sheets

I can still feel your warm breath against mine

your nails gently grazing up my arms

for your fingers to find home in my hair

every minute with you deserves its own play-by-play in my head

from the mundane moments to all that’s far from it

your beauty, humor, and wit are unmatched

even when you’re unshowered and unmasked

naked before me

even then

especially then

is when I know that I love you (however you want it)

[northernlightsav]

I‘ll never be a poet

I’ll never claim to be a poet

for to claim that, I would need to learn how to not tell but show it

to recite Kafka, to know the classics

to write poems (not just for sapphics)

to have a clue of rhyme and rhythm

to develop the wisdom

of knowing where to start and where to end

how to let each line effortlessly blend

to write things that can be overanalyzed to hell

and on top of that, to write words that can potentially sell

as it stands all that could be has already been said

and all of the professionals are dead

so while I can’t be a poet I‘ll settle for a lyrical hobbyist

while accepting the label of an absolutist

something vindictive but ultimately harmless I do at work is that if you’re at my register and you’re rude to me and you pay with cash I am finding the most disgusting desolate fucked up unspeakable coin I can to give to you. oh you were mean to me? you’re getting the yucky nickel bitch

[northernlightsav]

listened to classical music today at work and realized how full of love violins sound…pathetic

[bugdotpng]

very much a fan of this post so i felt compelled to make my own. print it out and give it to your coworkers or hang it in your cubicle and go "don't make me tap the sign"

cute, cheesy lyrics from songs I’ve started and never finished:

“you snuck into my heart when I wasn’t looking

and eventually all I was looking at was you”

“I tend to be obsessive

it’s just hard to be objective

about you”

“why should I have to wear my heart

on my sleeve

It would look much better

in your hands”
