I posit that genuine happiness
must always have a hint of sadness
or it risks being as empty as platitudes

I’ve been tagged by the lovely @wordrummager (thank you!) to: List 5 songs you like to listen to and tag friends…
In no particular order:
Chokehold, Sleep Token Romance, Varials Deadrose, Unprocessed Foxglove, Boston Manor Circle The Drain, Wage War
Enjoy the vibe, y'all.
Let's hear it, @smakkabagms, @maldarchive, @aftersalt, @lifeseenbyme, @purplemonkeysexgod69
I bluster through most of my days, but inside I’m crumbling, barely intact by the time the stars appear. I’m not sure I really want to heal. What would I do without pain? But I’m ok. Really.
consider the bodies held together solely by their mass,
wonder if I'm gaining enough weight yet,
the pressures building between these separating plates, my core all erupting, these shoulders, their blades all spread and raised in an offer of embrace,
or a shrug,
tidally locked in your embrace I'm one side aflame, and one side total darkness, if you're looking for yin-and-yang I'm really,
more of a big bang
@wordrummager gave a Jay the best fragment first line!
Like a porn star flossing A Jay is always tossing Bindings for everyone Shining like the sun Like clothes that don’t fit Teeth can oops up a bit But! It’s not a jaysome fact That mouths have plaque And the porn star flossing Is like a border crossing There is a train down a tunnel And mouths are just like funnels And a porn star is a poem star And every light burns from afar There is a dancer in the darkness And they are wearing less and less And every eye that sees them smile Knows they floss more than a while Like a porn star is a-singing This Jay is always dancing And the porn star is always keen To practise good dental hygiene!
If it’s not too late for an elfchen... how about for someone who sees a huge wave coming and is trying to decide whether to keep treading water and let go or try to leap above the onslaught.

@randomlyjay has learned so much today.
If you don't know who she is, you are missing out! Definitely one of my all time favorite poets on tumblr, and anywhere.
Please join me in wishing the happiest of Birthdays to Miss Andira. @wordrummager

Make peace with a swirling sky
Holding tightly to a vague memory
of a make-believe mountain
drenched in quiet color.
Angels plant images like these
to sinners who repent in sleep
so they don’t drown in groggy sobs.
.
Bone and stone, star and sight
all carry the same oath, a blessing
when released on northern lights
and let go over dark seas
