“Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.”- Leonard Cohen
i hope one day my life and poetry are nothing but ash.
a petite firestorm
who's a bit
brash
with a mouth
that gets me
in trouble and
was made
for it too
i'm unapologetic
about being
who i am now
because at one
point i let the theys
have a say
and it damn near
destroyed me
#poetry#writing#vss365#brash
adoration for the
chuckle in the way he
says damn baby has me
dancing on the rainbow
of pastel sighs
but oh the way he
draws out the fuckkk
has me aching in the fire's
of hell to consume it off
of his tongue
#poetry#writing#moonmystic
lights flicker
in a mirrored hall
and at the end
of shadows
i have my demons
on a leash and
stare down my ghosts
i'm the owner
of this house of
horrors and if
it burns down to
my foundation it's
because i was the
arsonist who threw a
match on my kerosene
scars
#turningthephrase
showing off
a constellation
of s c a r s
beneath a
battered and
bruised sky
he looks at
me like i am
something
everything
anything
more than the
nothing
i feel
i am
