Every night, it writes off as a loss,
whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose.
Each night, it burns the remains of the day
If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours...
With the tongue of an angel,
and a body more than capable
of doing the devils work,
my soul contains
more than enough beauty
to comfort you for eternity.
light glowing through the curtains at as dawn breaks. confetti sprinkles. wind blown hair, brush it out of their face. slow breaths on a cliffside. feeling the sun on their skin, but it’s not overwhelming...it’s perfectly warm, and it feels like home. birthday parties and funny hats. silk ribbons. nightlights, fireflies and streetlamps. dancing in the street. the softest laughter. hope is the balance between light and darkness, and they know there is time enough for both.
Sometimes I cannot write for fear of my embryonic thoughts spilling on to the page like roadkill. Raw and fragmented. Flesh sprawled out. Real and provocative, yet unfamiliar...
- Time.
It’s like a movie.
We are all watching it beginning to end. Some of us fast forward/rewind to our favorite parts, others are stuck watching terrible acting. Some of us are directors. Some of us are stars.
But in the end...
-we all get cut from the script.
being alone, luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice. aware of the fullness of your own presence rather than the absence of others.
solitude is an achievement.
You see, some things I can teach you. Some you learn from books. But there are things that, well, you have to see and feel.
messy scribbles on polaroids. memories tinted with gold. 80s music. a road trip with your best friends. the sound of cracking open a cold soda. a shell from a beach five summers ago.
We were all humans until media blinded us, race disconnected us, religion separated us, politics divided us and wealth classified us...
illusion deludes us into believing what's not really there. it makes us mistake faith for projection. disillusionment is a prerequisite of modern living that you seldom meet, until it's too late.
Flight control to ground central,
identified object within view.
Locked and requesting permission to engage.

First impression:
unknown appears hostile,
possibly rational.
There’s a response to probing signals sent.
Object is sentient and non-violent.
Agenda undetermined, pending contact.
Heartometer shows abnormal passion level fields.

She is both, hell fire and holy water. And the flavor you taste depends on how you treat her.
No matter how much time we spend with others, we’re all strangers until our souls are connected. Time doesn’t affect our souls in the same way it affects us. Souls live forever. It doesn’t matter if you knew a person for a day or a decade, it’s the soul that dictates your connection.
When I walk, it’s not alone. My angels and my devils walk behind me, no—with me. And when I turn to talk with them, I see they are one in the same. They can be vile, or they can be beautiful. It’s up to me after all.
Growing up, I played by the rules, until I learned to question their existence. It was then, that I was truly free.
He flashed a smile and said, “Darling, please forgive me for not remembering your name, for my mind was thinking about the divine things your body could possibly do to mine.”
I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait, and you take away the very essence of who I am. You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize, my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my deep awareness of others’ pain, and my passion for it all.
There are two kinds of love in this world—one that makes you forget the life you live, and one that makes you want to live your life all over again.
Let me empty your thoughts, and slowly undress your soul. Lay yourself bare to me and let me see your raw feelings, your unfiltered naked emotions. Then, and only then, when you're ready and feel that I'm worthy of your trust, I will make love to you without a single touch. An intimacy that others only know of from hear say. An intimacy so intense, our souls will merge.
She is a paradox. She is committed and yet relaxed. She loves everyone, and yet no one. She is sociable and also a loner. She is gentle and yet tough, she is passionate but also platonic. In short, she is predictable in her own unpredictability.
Nostalgia is our blanket.
And we huddle ourselves
closer to keep warm.
The night is freezing,
and we only have this one.
Snow won't come,
and neither will the stars.
So we daydream
of all but the future.
Sitting at the edge of the world,
we just might watch it end.
Two things prevent us from happiness: living in the past and observing others. Quiet that.
Making someone laugh after they've just finish crying, is one of the most beautiful things to ever exist.
blowing curtains. spring breeze. a cup of coffee and early mornings. bright smiles that are always genuine. freshly cleaned mirrors. gentle whispers, they never raise their voice, nor do they ever need to. doves nestling together in trees. always honest. classical piano music, and frames with colored pictures from kids. clouds bringing just enough shade on a sunny day. the only way to treat another person is with kindness, and anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong.
Some may wonder where I get time to think of things to write. Thets easy. I don’t need to go out of my way, because I think and feel deeply by nature. All that’s left is to record it well. Of course, I could hold back from sharing these writings, but would I rather be the bottle, or the wine?
The things that are just within our reach, the ones we are almost going to get, and then they slip from right between our fingers, those are the things that truly make us wonder who we really are, the ones that truly make us question our worth, the ones we just might think about, forever.
Humans are fascinated by languages, people and places that they don't understand. It's as if they've tried to understand the things around them and they just want to get lost in things they can't comprehend anymore, just like the when they were kids. The childhish curiosity and fantasy, to find something completely new, to conquer more, to grow more.
i. there are days when my stars align just for me. my inner cosmos telling me to write about everything. my inner cosmos telling me to expand the universe within.
ii. there are days when my stars collapse. i am made of pure darkness. i am made of pure anxiety— terrified of not seeing the sun again.
iii. there are days when my stars rise— like the infinite suns that they are. illuminating my being.
You have so many layers, that you can peel away a few, and everyone’s so shocked or impressed that you’re baring your soul, while to you it’s nothing, because you know you’ve twenty more layers to go.
I am building a stairway to the stars. I have the authority to take the whole of mankind up there with me. That is why I write.
From the very beginning you are constantly being told to compare yourself with others. It’s a disease, like a cancer that goes on destroying your very soul because each individual is unique, and comparison is never possible. Fuck what society tells you. Fuck conformity.
soft shoes left at the door. the flicker of a lightbulb at midnight. coffee stains. pictures hung with pins on the wall, slowly becoming dusty, but they’ve always been there. a ticking watch. the musty smell of morning after a night of rain, and it may rain again, but the melancholy is too beautiful to wish away. they know how to let the rain come, and to love it when it does--to watch the light make patterns through the smudges on the windowpanes.
If you want to seduce my heart,
start with the eyes.
If you can’t get me to look at you,
move me with your words.
If I don’t listen, invite me to dance.
there’s no one who will love you more furiously. a fire in a heart- bursting through the veins. darling, I gave you immortal life. sewed your soul to the page.
He found me ravaged,
and gently tucked me
back into place.
That’s just how he is.
Unlike thieves who steal,
he saviors...
My goal in life is to occupy an abandoned castle in the European countryside, keep a giant rose garden, only wear long flowing dresses, and become local folklore.
Sexy as hell,
enigmatic,
unpredictable,
which is to say,
the absolute best.
Untouchable.
Uncaring.
God Damn Yes.
life isn’t going to go the way
you want it to all the time.
you can prepare, hope, and pray.
but your best bet is to keep
your fingers crossed and be open
to all possibilities life throws your way. release your need for control.
Love blinds you. It’s crazy because you don’t even realize it. You fall in love with someone and everything they do is beautiful. They’re absolutely perfect in your eyes. They could hurt you so many times and you’ll still find yourself making excuses for them. Love makes fools out of all of us.
Faking smiles is easy,
like slipping on jewelry.
I know what you want
to hear from me...
I free pretty lies
from behind my teeth.
Painting has always
come naturally.
My aura is brushed
in shades of purity,
a societal masterpiece.
But if you could see
what lies underneath,
I promise you’d never approach me...
We all are a beautiful mixture
of angels and demons,
it just depends on which one
you choose to feed.
“Aren’t you afraid of my darkness, darling?” he asked with mischief in his eyes.
“No,” she replied, “You haven’t even seen mine yet.”
i remember way too many
small details about people,
so i have to act dumb sometimes,
so i don’t freak them out
It's just human.
We all have the jungle inside of us.
We all have wants and needs and desires, strange as they may seem.
If you stop to think about it,
we're all pretty creative,
imagining all these fantasies.
It’s like a kind of poetry...
When men look at her, they are not thinking of dinner and a movie. They are not thinking roses and a moonlit stroll on the beach. They are envisioning their hands tightening ropes around her wrists, biting her neck while taking in the fragrance of her hair just before ripping her clothes off and fucking her mercilessly.
He made love to her on paper.
They spilled ink like passion
across the sheets.
He caressed her curves
in every love letter.
He kissed up and down her thighs
in short sentences and prose.
He tasted all her innocence,
without a spoken word.
He bit her lip and pulled her hair
in between the lines.
He made her arch her back and scream,
and it only took a pen....
I could never love
different people
in the same way....
My love has all
different versions,
all different meanings.
I’ve never experienced
the same love twice
and I never will.
Upon a blank page,
she wrote the depths of her soul,
secrets of heart,
and most honest words.
Adding finishing touches,
dotting i’s and crossing t’s...
it was then placed into an envelope, stamped and addressed,
“To: the man I never got to love.”
Lay here with me, I’ll pour you a glass of Bourbon. We can talk about the stars, the moon, the world and all of it’s mishap. Stretch across this king size mattress naked listening to the rain fall outside. You can watch me scribble in this pad, and I’ll look up every once in awhile with these lazy brown eyes, and smile at you. Because this is beautiful, this simplicity is pure...
you were scared
to conquer my body,
hands weak and shaking
as you touched my skin
and God how it killed me...
Darling,
how do you ignore an addiction which knows your name and has tasted your soul in such a sinfully intimate way?
The words we read
and words we write
never say exactly
what we mean.
The people we love
are never just as
we desire them.
Be loyal to your present moment,
it influences your future.
Every choice you make is vital...
Her chaos is order.
I’m in love with her madness.
Make eye contact with me princess,
while we fuck like savages,
and forget about our humanity
for just a little while...
When she makes
your demons moan,
then she's the one,
and it doesn't matter
how innocent her eyes look...
She's the only one they need.
Even stars have their shadows. Some say if you hold your head up to the stars, you’ll feel the taste of their dark side. It starts of bitter, but slowly embraces your mouth and tongue in sweetness so pure, you’ll want more.
But the stars only show their dark sides to a chosen few. A swirl of rich, deep darkness that drips from midnight sky and melts into tongue and earth.
When you wake up in the morning feeling stardust in your mouth, you’ll know in your dreams how the shadows of starlight taste.
I love people who
have minds like libraries,
and books in their soul.
the kind of people who
have pages within them
that must be flipped slowly,
and read delicately,
to discover the magic
that exists in their bones.
Life is a play
without a script
or a a director.
In the end,
it doesn’t matter
if the act was
good or bad,
because everything was
based in constant plan B
and indistinct improvisation.
I like the idea that
we leave pieces
of ourselves
everywhere we go.
Like we are coloring
all our important places...
The Devil asked me
how I knew my way
around the halls of hell.
I told him I did not need
a map for the darkness
I know so well....
“You’re beautiful.” he whispered.
“Stop."
“Stop what?” he asked.
“Saying I’m beautiful.”
“Why? it’s the truth..”
“It’s not. You don’t see the real me. The me at the end of the day, tired and worn. You don’t see me trying to find the perfect outfit. You don’t see me in the mirror, so how dare you say I’m beautiful .”
He shook his head, almost laughing.
“You don’t get it do you? You have no fucking idea what you look like. Yeah you’re right, I don’t see you the way you see you, but you also don’t see the way I see you. You don’t see how you laugh, or the way you tell a story, you don’t see the way your eyes light up when you talk about all the things you love. You don’t see yourself wrapped in my arms, or the way you look when you wake up. But I do, and that’s why I have every right to call you beautiful.”
As they laid under the white sheets of his bed, he said, “I am not jealous. I am very possessive of whatever I own and I will fight to keep it that way. So be very careful of who you allow to kiss your beautiful soul princess.”
The conversation
between your fingers
and someone else’s skin,
is the most important
discussion you can ever have.
He calmly looks at her,
but his mind screams
‘fuck she is beautiful’
and his body groans
with a sinful savage
hunger that is dying to
be unleashed on her flesh.
She was fierce,
She was strong,
She was not simple.
She was crazy,
and sometimes...
she barely slept.
She always had something to say.
She had flaws and that was ok.
And when she was down,
she got right back up.
She was a beast in her own way,
but one idea described her best...
She was unstoppable and she took
anything she wanted with a smile.
Act my age?
What the fuck is that, “act my age?”
What do I care how old I am?
The Ocean is old as fuck....
It will still drown your ass with vigor.
Humble enough to know
I’m not better than anybody,
but wise enough to know
I’m different from the rest.
Darling,
your worst mistake
was licking your lips.
-I wanted to bite them
the moment you did.
Your best mistake
was talking to me
about chemistry.
Intense sexual chemistry.
-I wanted to fuck you
right that minute...
Smart is the new sexy.
My worst mistake
wasn’t undressing you,
-though I did undress you.
It was taking off not just your clothes,
but the facade you always wore.
My worst mistake
wasn’t kissing marks
on parts of your body
that no one sees,
but loving your naked body,
and your naked soul.
We are a notorious pair of sinners.
before we burn in hell,
let’s turn this bed into ashes.
We won’t plead for heaven,
—paradise is already ours.
We won’t plead for mercy.
We won’t plead for absolution.
We won’t plead for innocence.
We know what we are doing...
What perfect destruction,” he thought. “How blissfully, painfully poetic we are...”
with every person
you meet in this lifetime,
there is a specific reason
why your paths crossed.
they will either love you,
hate you, lead you, grow you,
influence you, hurt you...
and so on.
it’s all for a purpose.
every.
single.
person.
I was always told
God has a plan for me.
I have wondered when
this plan will start.
Did it start?
What are the rules?
Do I get a vacation?
Someone said I will
receive everlasting life
in heaven for my sacrifices.
Maybe this is true,
but maybe it’s all bullshit.
Darling,
Dominance controls, restrains,
orders, and molds.
But it is in submission
where the real power is found,
the power to grant a weak man
the strength to dominate...
Things are always changing drastically in our lives, that sometimes it feels so good to be lost. We are forced to walk so many fucking lines throughout this life- that make absolutely no sense- so it feels good to get banged up and bruised, and totally disoriented to the point of impulsive panic. We smile and ache for that awakening. Thats the only way we grow.
Sometimes, setting yourself on fire is the only way to feel alive...
He grabbed my throat as he pressed me against the wall saying, “I never imagined that a sin could taste so heavenly, until I licked yours off the softest part of your inner thighs..."
It’s summer, which means my skin is all honey before noon. Which means I’m celebrating the anniversaries of lovers I never kissed and bodies I never loved. Which means the air is humid as an open mouth with all this wanting.
I’ll gently
fuck your mind
with a whisper
and uncover
all of your dirty
little secrets
with a kiss.
Together,
we will explore
all of your
dark fantasies
leaving nothing
to the imagination.
You have become
my living paradise..
“Come closer” he says, “I won’t bite you...yet.” As I try to look away, he gently slides his hand around my throat and pulls me in close to him. I can feel the warmth of his breath as he whispers into my ear. “One taste, and I promise to control myself, but you are unlike any addiction I have ever encountered,” His grasp tightens. “You run through my veins like liquid fire, and I want to overdose on the special talents that you have to offer. You wouldn’t dare deny me what I deserve, would you?”
Sometimes people come into
your life and all you can do
is appreciate them
while they’re there,
and try not to get attached to
the way they bring
light into your life,
and try not to miss
them when they are away.
There is nothing
so tempting
as the forbidden,
and nothing
more desirable
than the unattainable.
Words are my salvation.
And yet, I find myself
gravitating towards silence.
I love people who speak to me
with the corners of their eyes,
the curve of their lips.
I love subtlety.
It is an art, an elegance,
a way of life.
Darling,
physical attraction
is quite beautiful...
But it is the art of seduction
that is my weakness.
The power of authority,
of knowledge,
of body language.
Tease me with your intellect,
torture me with your words,
and fuck me with your mind.
i want to live
in Rome
and wear
flowing white
dresses every day,
and eat pomegranates
and risotto
and wine
and go to cathedrals
to see the art
and explore
the catacombs
by candlelight
my hand brushes his
and i feel all of his energy,
and i crave to know
what it is that occupies
his mind when the light of day
has faded and he is left alone
with his thoughts...
It’s disappointing
that we live in a society
that will shame you
for how much sex you have
and for the junk food you eat?
Like wow..
how fucking dare you
eat delicious foods
and have orgasms!
You're a fucking monster.
Enjoy your miserable life
filled with pleasure.
Your skin brushed mine,
and galaxies collided.
Iron, aluminum, helium, hydrogen.
All glowing around us...
Shimmering on my fingertips.
Glittering on your lips.
I pulled your head down,
and sang the truth into your heart.
You poured me all over your bed,
and undid my entire soul.
I won’t ask the universe of you,
just a little corner in your heart
where I can lay my head
when this world tires me.
I want to know you...
whether you’re afraid
of sharks
or spiders,
death or love.
I want to know
if it’s grammatical errors
that drive you crazy
or the people correcting them,
if you’re more comfortable
shaking sand out of your hair
or snow,
if you prefer coffee or tea,
bars or board game nights.
I want to know which of your friends
you’ve cried in front of,
if you’ve ever laughed chocolate milk
out of your nose,
or kissed someone
you weren’t supposed to.
I want to know you.
The you
beneath the layer of
small talk,
always kept shined
and smudgeless...
I’m just hoping one day you’ll invite me in.
I’d like to think that
I’m too old for enemies...
that the only hate
left in my heart
is a small smudge of gray.
But some days,
I can feel the pettiness
climbing back up my spine,
sinking its talons into
my shoulder blades
as it leans down
and whispers in my ear:
don’t you want to win?
when he looks at you
from across a crowded room
filled spaces while conversing.
communicating between a sea of faces,
a glance turned into a gaze
fixed upon you,
noise and chatter fade away...
pulled in, you’re drawn to him.
unable to shield his eyes,
he claims you with
his body language.
disclosing, exposing,
undressing your mind...
There are times
when I crave space
and I don’t contact anyone.
People who don’t know me
take it personally.
So do I narrate my feelings
to each and every one,
do I become what people expect of me,
or do I be me?
I think I’m going to be me.
Yet we still call ourselves human
when there is barely any humanity left.
We are tragically destructive
when all we need,
all this world needs,
is more loving.
