sunshine and cyanide

my name is abigail i write for the heart and soul

[readasyoubreathe]

i whispered to the moon this evening:

“what do you dream of? when you sleep and the sun’s arms stretch around me?”

she laughed, and the sound dashed across a thousand twinkling stars.

“peace for you, my love. sleeping and waking.”

Like the snow,

The rain,

And the shooting stars,

You will fall for me

Deeply

Irrevocably

Mark my words

-Destined to fall

(Mark my words)

Marbles

In our tale,

Enigma shall be your name.

ーJust like soul of yours。

[mybeautifulbleedingpieces]

In another universe

I hope we already met

That we spend time

Talking,

Laughing,

Watching the sunset

I wonder if in that universe

I write poems for you

And if I do

I hope you love them so

For in this universe,

I do write for you

A lot

But my words just wither

In the corner

Frozen in time

Concealed like secrets

Never meant to be unraveled

Destined to stay in the darkness

In this universe,

I am just a writer

Who beholds you with a sigh

Suppress a cry

As I immortalize

Your heart that has always belonged

To someone

In another universe....

Someone in another universe ,

I Don't Sleep, I Dream

I don't follow, I forage

run up, into the hills

I explore forest floors

a hungry hunter, searching

overturning every word

every syllable, every verb

starving for understanding

seeking knowledge, I

am looking for wiseflowers

rarely seen wild flora

from mama earth's bounty

I don't lead, I follow

my spirit, my muse

poet wanderer, gypsy soul

my roots run deep beneath

the blue-eyed boy who seeks

whose passions, he keeps

I don't sleep, I dream

somewhere over rainbows

anywhere starry skies glow

I will go, where love runs deep

where treasures amid trees

magically hold my attention

I am not a writer, I'm an interpreter

poet translator, warrior of love

unearthing stories others keep

come with me and we can unfold the maps of each other, navigate the valleys of our bones, i’ll find the constellations god put in your eyes and sail by them, breathe by them. follow me, let’s find paradise together, plant flags in the sand, name islands after each other’s eyes, let’s sail the seven seas and sing shanties to the wind. come on, we’ll press our bodies together like tectonic plates, cause earthquakes, we’ll pack our lives into sandwich bags and go find where the sun meets the sea. i want the full moons of your eyes and the squeak of rusty bicycle chains and us, cradled by stars, i want to go skinny dipping and see paris and sleep on mattress on a floor, i want you, and the world, and a motel room. i’m ready. let’s go. come with me.

i’m sorry i’m not what you expect. i’m sorry i’m not the girl of your dreams, i’m sorry i can’t give you what you’re wanting. i’m sorry i get so sad so easy and i’m sorry for always pushing you away. i’m sorry for never having interesting responses, and i’m sorry for being sorry.

Book Recommendation: No One Ever Asked by Katie Ganshert

[sweatshirtsfromsatan]

a thousand tornadoes

there is a storm raging in my heart.

the screams are loud and thunderous,

and it scares away the flocks of grace that took shelter in my branches.

the anger is as painful as a lightning strike and tears down all my barriers,

like a tree succumbing to its own weight.

the tears streaming down my face flood the deep canyons of my soul

and fill my mind with a deep despair that fills the basements of every household.

while my mind rains down with its mighty fury,

i will tear myself down like a thousand tornadoes.

i’ll go into hiding and seek shelter in the dark.

i’ll wonder if i’ll make it out of this storm alive.
