a ratio of freckles to starsvirginia,

you are floating away in
every direction:

a universe
of sunlight & marrow bones
i want to know

your touch
had vertigo then--
a certain horse sadness

i remember how you
would swallow the stars:
watch them glow through your cheeks

(no one told you
what they thought of light & dying
of being a constellation
drawn across your face)

you are the milky way:
a firefly drowning

but i will trail you--
hold your coat above the water

(a star
exploding a million miles away
with a number for a name)

This is my girlfriend.This is my girlfriend.
I found her all on my own.
She’s little,
And broken.
But still good.
Yeah,
Still good.

cool breeze across sultry skinorange morning
riverside
in the wind
reeds bend
like backs
yours arches
like a bridge
in my breath
and my two lips cross
your soft skin connection
to reach the end
the heartland
open and waiting for me

There isThere is;

Joy in your laughter, music in your voice
Dance in your step, confidence in your stride
Pride in your heart, tranquility in your mind
Sweetness in your smile, fierceness in your eyes
Comfort in your presence, tenderness in your embrace

Nothing quite compares

CountermelodiesWhen it begins,
it’s like discovering
the decadence of music.
Perhaps your breath hitches
on the cello carrying the countermelody.
It reminds you of their voice,
as they warm spices in the kitchen
and you’d wrap your arms around them from behind,
like the horns come up from under
and saturate the harmony.
Their body feels familiar in all different ways,
a second listen granted to a beautiful movement.

You can’t tell them you repeat
the first song they showed you
because it smells like their skin
If you listen close enough.
And they can’t tell you that
they try to harmonize with your
speaking voice on the phone

Dancing with the Fairies EnglandxReader

Emerald leaves, orange light,
Swaying bluebells, pink clouds,
Rustling trees, calling birds,
In the stillness of the forest.

We wandered from the gravel path,
Careful where we trod,
Not to crush the innocent flowers,
That tinted a fine fragrance.

Past the great oak,
Beyond the pine and beech,
Our fingers entwined together,
My hand locked safely in his.

Great gorges and steep cliffs,
We passed before an opening,
Where light shone through gracefully,
Catching on mysterious forms.

The rosebay willowherb seeds
Floated and waltzed effortlessly
Through the air and caugh

A Lack of EloquenceYou told me you wanted to be a writer someday
And I couldn't help but wonder if you'd ever written about me
I went home and tried to write something beautiful about you
But I couldn't find the words
I don't know how to describe the kindness in your eyes
Or the way your voice sends shivers down my spine
Or how you linger in my dreams at night
No matter how I string my words together
They never quite seem to do you justice
You must forgive me for my lack of eloquence
And understand all the things I'm trying to tell you
When at last, for all my trying, the only words I have are these:
"I love you, I love you, I love you"

You are a bittersweet beauty with hips that lie.Do I crave you because I crave a intense muse?

Poetry flows from my lips.

My heart bruises,

soul feels ripped.

I still want you.

I don’t need you.

I want you.

I want your flesh upon mine.

Whiskey lips and hips that don’t lie.

Bone against bone.

My body is my home.

Experience the bittersweet beauty.

BeautySmiling into the sunshine I go,
the warm rays on my face as I walk.
The world around me is vibrant,
every color rushing to meet my gaze.
The world seems as if it is waiting for me,
opening its beauty to my eyes.
A drop of water touches my face,
from the sky they fall,
bringing out new color and life.
I sit in the rain as around me it falls.
I would try to find the most beautiful things,
but you are the most beautiful thing of all.

It hurtIt hurt you know,
Falling for you.

I felt very bump and bang,
Every bruise and break.
I tried to hold on,
I tried to slow down,
I tried to stop.
But it was inevitable.
Gravity was too much,
It kept pulling me down
To you.

And when I landed,
When I hit the ground
At your feet
I could barely breathe.
It was too much
For anyone to handle
Let alone me.

But I watched you reach down,
And felt you pick me up.
You gathered together
All my broken pieces
And worked for days
Making me whole again.

It took time
But I finally realised
That for me to fall down to you
Meant that you
Had fallen too.

So once I was rebuilt
I searched for your missing p

Eternal LoveI never thought this day would come so soon.
And yet I always knew it was to come.
For we are nothing but another side of each other.
For all those years we were two sides of a single coin,
Spinning round and round but never facing one another, never meeting.
But those days have passed. We have joined in more ways than one.
And now we complete each other, black and white, white and black…
Different but the same. We will always continue to fly under the same sky.
Together. Nothing else matters but the connection we share.
This connection which binds us, it runs through our veins, through our blood, long before we ever met.
Eternal. Like the symbols that matched our colours and understood our souls.

let's play pretendplease hold me close and keep your eyes shut
i'll become the girl who broke your heart
and you'll be the boy who broke mine

ThiefCant you see she's a thief?
She stole your heart
And your breath
Now she's stealing your last name.

Happy Birthday Fox!Every moment spent with you,
Everything which we once knew,
Is now melting into the past,
You and I, our futures last.

Together our souls burn bright,
Like a hearth and candlelight,
Late night talks or daylight hours,
Poems about us, or poems about flowers,

Though we are so far apart.
You are forever engraved in my heart,
Each passing second with you,
Is worth a lifetime to me.

Eternity.Love.
There aren’t any words that can explain our love.
You smiles with your eyes,
You brighten the world with your laugh,
This love sparkles brighter than the moon,
And the burning sun.
You lights the darkness
You stand out from the flock.
Every kiss is the softest touch,
This love is a soft beauty.
The thought of knowing you are mine
Is like a time of magic
The night we met was endless magic
Dancing in the moonlight is a magical moment
That I always forever cherish
I will love you till infinity ends
Like ying and yang, you and me
Eternity

will always be

a piece
       of what may have been
because nothing is stronger than the imagination
and my imagination
is where you lived
where we loved

and where we will inevitably die
and all without ever knowing how it felt to taste another's skin

if death knocked on my door todaywhy didn't you come sooner?
sorry, traffic was bad. accident on M4. a couple of fatalities.

well, that's your own fault isn't it?
yeah, i suppose. sorry, darling. so ... you ready?

...
if only if it were that simple.
if only i had known that my death would come
in the form of you

dysmorphic weatherspring came late this year
snow arrived along with april
and i found myself wondering
if this was what the whole year would be like
it wouldn't surprise me
given the recent events
pathetic fallacy and all that

28.04.13hands cling like stringy stems around roots
water washes over my body
feel it jump around under my back
as if i were pressing down a storm i'd created
we moved in circles
circles we'd traced on each others skin
strands of hair stuck under our fingers
from where we'd held for nothing more than dear, dear life
crumbles of mud stuck between my toes
like souvenirs from a better time
i find it odd that the past will not let me go
when so much else of it has forgotten me
sun screams throughh my window like a cry for help
i roll over and fall back to sleep
my heart is lighter now than it was in february
but i still have bricks to carry and stones to throw
i don't know what will happen come may
but darling, i refuse to be the girl you used to know

A Privileged HeartbreakWould it be safe to say you broke my heart?
I’ve been getting questions from all my friends
And I don’t know where to start
Or what to say
These have been some difficult days

And I still hope
Though I don’t see you
And I won’t love anyone else since I have met you
And I still dream
Though they won’t come true
And I won’t want anyone else since I have had the pleasure of meeting you

Would it be safe to say you had all of me?
I’ve been getting question from my parents lately
And I don’t know what to say
Or where to start
There have been some easier days

And I still want
Though I do not need
And I won’t look at anyone since I have met you
And I still hope
Though I’m still me
And I won’t want anyone else since I have had the pleasure of meeting you

And it was my absolute privilege to be heartbroken by you

And I remember every look we shared
Everything you said to me
All my dumb replies and

heart attacki used to think that
the ache in my heart
was a heart attack
at 14 i was too young, really
but it was a possibility
the difference
between a heart attack
and the pain of heartbreak
is that it was fairly unlikely
for the first one to happen
but my heart was always
going to break over you

one day

one day,

all the tears that have accidentally fallen over you

will evaporate into the air

and wait patiently in rain-clouds

to fall all over again

but just in a different form

one day,

every poem written about your bright blue eyes

will be about 'no one in particular'

and they will be used for other people i love(d)

they will be nothing but words

and all the stories i forced myself not to write

will be half faded sentences in my head

i'm not sure if it's obvious, but the idea behind the lack of structure is that as time wears on, i will forget about this person and all the words i wanted to write for them won't be possible to be written.
^ whoa that was really bad english right there.

also, i hate uploading stuff too often, but this has been sitting in my sta.sh for ages and i thought it was okay to upload.

comments would really be appreciated <3
