Sink with me

[velaskies]

Hi there! I was just curious about your username and what it means It's very interesting!

Argo Navis - Wikipedia

It is actually in reference to a specific constellation, one in which I find a lot of personal interest. Vela refers exclusively to the sails of the ship, Argo Navis. You may read more about it in the link I have provided, if you wish.

Captured

High tide rushes in and pulls me away the foam in my mouth bitter as though some words could be better conveyed I am just a vessel of empty promises and when I try to speak a rusted fishhook grapples my lips endless questions, I ask myself, while I’m ripped through the currents from one emotion into the next pain is scarlet such beautiful ribbons running red and I suppose I’m now caught in a marathon though I know I must have missed the sign-up sheet despite the defeat your banner waves forever in my heart so twisted and tangled up in the nets I know you’ll never see I’m just dying to be with you, this tiny fish, one of many plucked from the bottomless sea

Autumn

In the fall I wake as the bitter taste of summer fades against my tongue and all is crisp when I feel the bark move between my fingers and toes God knows I’ve missed you so, and when winter’s fragile chill presses desperately against your lips remember I am wishing too for the comforting embers in your affection permit them to me please, and make me not a mere shadow beneath the glass do not leave me as a time capsule in this restless lake where I’ve kept myself with you for seasons past my heart locked in winter with you forever

Green

Does it intimidate you to watch her petals part and are you angry to see the way she lures the bees such wandering eyes you have while you continue to pick at all her leaves never have I known such bitter humans enraged by the confidence of a honey that tastes so sweet

[velaskies]

Habits

You don't know what kind of monster I can truly be the smell of acid and the haze of a silken screen beckons me into that fog again and again, beyond the veil of my broken dreams landscapes laced in hell fragments of my cells ache to forget again and feel nothing but the cold drip of the devil’s blushing hand

Persephone

She calls me a jealous raging mad man but what does she expect when the rain kisses her face with such exclamation or how the soil clings to her feet despite the mark of her pace the sky opens up and begs for her private exhalation the oxygen of a warm embrace Yes, I curse this miserable planet that breathes her in so heavily as though any of its oceans ever deserved the reflection of her face and just like the pale moon I gaze with longing too from hell below I burn in liquid fire forever wishing to stitch my sinful cells into the fabric of her being

[velaskies]

Worship

I desire your taste, the fire of bones, an angelic whisper wisps past me and I’m too deep inside to ever leave you now the body anointed and atoned alone at the foot of your altar on bended knee, I pray, so impatiently, that every inch of me is worthy for just a drop of you

[velaskies]

Nothing

I've lost the will to write or the courage to braid these strings anew this heart will never sing the same way again years flipped by like the pages of some dusty old book and I carved her tender deep into the fabric of my soul - she doesn't want me now and who ever could these hands are stained with so much ink and such bitter fruitless feeling

[velaskies]

Old Friends

They want to speak to me but all the birds are whispering violence in the trees I cast my words into deep shadow the darkest well of bottomless lament a past scratched against the stone surface begging for forgiveness love, such ardent love, bursting silently from my chest

[velaskies]

Restart

Some day, I will learn to love you whole, and in the night you'll drink from that cup and swallow the entire ocean all that salt and sea, I hope to drown you in every part of me

Peacock

"You're distant" she said as I moved around the globe and plucked out all my feathers forgetting the man she used to know

[velaskies]

Battles

There's a lot of darkness in me the soft waters trepid, as I wade and find myself in the station of time the sadness pulling an ominous violin across the fibers of my being such music ever blossoming truth yet she resents me now - a sinking man who failed to tame a quiet, yet raging sea

[velaskies]

Signals

She loved me when my hair was long chains and cords wrapped around my neck I was a wired child tied into the magnetic screens of digital fantasy and she needed me true dark and deep was the sky when our fingertips brushed and I felt her electricity overwhelm me such magic in her name the beautiful buzzing of the darkest symphony a cosmic melody I’ll be singing forever

[velaskies]

Feelings

Love always found me as a masked individual plaster pressed high against my cheekbones she wishes she knew me, God, I wish I did too purple eyes and the night's red wine I can't spill enough bitter truth I'm just a canvas stretched tight emotions tempered and waiting waiting for the stain of painted hands hands that make me feel something something just like you

[velaskies]

Appetite

I have a penchant for fragile things like warm breath spilled soft upon the napes of necks the flex in her back when she curves against me skin pressed tight tastes like fine wine and I'm a gentleman toasting with hellfire in his eyes lustful and demanding preparing to dine on what's rightfully mine

[velaskies]

Fate

I'm built for a love that's destined to take me down that unending swell, love, with passion that burns the ground I crave the Armageddon that comes amidst the fire in her kiss the anticipation and silence through the planets and all her distance Tell me, have you ever desired so feverish your bones shake to ash have you watched the sky rip apart dreaming of her hips in your grasp I'm starving and destroyed emaciated but how long will it last till I catch her flame and snuff it beneath my glass

[velaskies]

Seasick

The heart expands in matter of your absence lipstick clinging to my shore impatient waves back and forth thoughts of you swirl against my skull such restless sea your mouth kissing me along a peppered trail fragments of your feet sit still in my sand i'm stationed and stained permanent body and soul submerged in an ocean of hair dark like ink a masterpiece pressed in skin pretty and pink all the while to the bottom I sink begging you to fill me again mermaid of the moon cure the heartache of a man who was left far too soon
