the whites of your eyes
shine like virgin snow
as
the fleeting kiss of sunrise
washes over us -
an attempt to shed light
on the silence
stretching between us.
my tongue is burdened
with words
that I cannot speak.
simple diction,
with a millennia of meanings attached.
I am burning to tell you
so much, as the sun
drowns your face in morning.
this, I will say;
you mean the world to me.
how many fleeting hearts
are silent casualties of
your hooded
eyes?
your voice echoes in my mind
like rolling thunder,
eradicating me
its innate beauty,
wretched and sweet.
waist-deep in your coy
smiles, I am tainted
by your mystery
wading through murky water.
your milky skin,
shadowy whispers
lull me into a deadness,
so true and calm,
that for the first time
I breathe,
I kiss,
I shake,
without fear of what I cannot
foresee.
willows murmur
sweet rumors about my heart
and its shy, demure
enchantment with you,
in love with your gossamer flesh
scintillating blue eyes
so
completely
annihilating.
I'd gift you with vermilion lips
swollen from a thousand
violent kisses, white horses
shrieking beneath the dusk.
I am a child of the streets,
of city lights and catcalls,
sky scrapers I'd slip in
and out through the alleyways
to find you and take you home,
but here I lay
wet-haired, weeping,
jilted. your heart, your mind
is closed, you are a mystery
that I must tear apart
but your secrets are guarded
by walls
far too sinewy for me

Literature
you've got a hold over me.
I could spend these lines
comparing you to natural disasters
like hurricanes and tornadoes.
but I'm no John Green or
lovesick indie band,
and you are simply
more
than an act of nature.
you are far more frightening,
but captivating just the same.
you are just as dangerous,
the cigarette
that I perhaps shouldn't have
taken to my lips, but here I am alone
remembering those hands up
on my hips
can't shake the fact that
you've got a hold over me.
I want you to
own me like a toothy grin
when we wake up next to each other,
the sun spilling in through the curtains.
I could write and tell you
that your love is like an

things I can't put a name to by Kingdumb-Cum, literature
Literature
things I can't put a name to
are we kidding ourselves,
or is this something more
cause when you're gone
the silence grows tenfold.
I feel like a monument that's burning down
but sometimes I'm a fire that needs to be doused
with wet fingers ready to come put me out.
I don't want to eat anymore,
don't feel like writing anymore,
I'm just the tattered welcome mat
at your back door.
feels like we're strangers again
with the same young anticipation
of a telling whisper, a kiss,
in dark rooms where you missed
my eyes as they
clung to your clothes,
wishing the boundaries were
erased, instead I let you
deface my heart with your
pale hands, sweet words.
but I
when you look at me
I feel the whispers
of autumn nights
spilling from your eyes,
incarcerating my body.
just when I thought
that the spark had withered
to dust and ashen cinders
fibers of young
love pull together, become flesh again.
inside me, something like fire,
red like the blood in your veins
awakens.
you and I, we're nothing more
than unspoken words, but
could be so much more.
and I want to burn you
with all that I have,
all that I am.
we're at it again,
we're endless.
I've wanted it all
since I can remember.
I'm in love with your stupid hair
and skinny legs, your band t-shirts
and oxford shoes,
it's the fuck
I can no longer differentiate
between dreams and reality
when you speak to me
lies come undone,
unlaced like a summer dress fallen
on the floor.
behind closed doors I felt
free alongside you
warm thighs and hot breath
I should never have given you
what righteous men
and black-clad virgins perceive
as innocence.
and how naïve I'd been
to think a voice as dulcet
as yours could save a
wretch like me.
which way
goes the road to joy that
I've searched so long for
in
fast kisses and lifestyles
at the bottom of bottles,
in welcoming bodies, literature,
inky words that flowed from
my pen?
