december, 2008.
you're telling me what love feels like and the way the curve of my cheekbones feels the same way when your lips touch it, and i just want to grab you by the neck and thrust my heart into it because i know yours doesn't jump into your throat for me, like it would if we were in a fiction book.

 

 

 

march, 2009.
drowning in something beautiful is still
drowning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

children don't die.
they have all the energy they need
for seventy-eighty-ninety years.
sometimes they die when they're
thirty-forty-fifty years old, but that's
okay, because they're not children
anymore.


i watched my 4 year old brother die when i was seven.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

definition of background colours:

the yellow is really a dim, dull yellow. the bright electric blue makes it look bright, however, by comparison, opposed to making the yellow look dim because the blue is brighter. i found it poetic.

    teehee i wrote a poem about you. more like a poem about your name... (: care to read?

    your profile is amazing. i especially was touched by:

    "children don't die.
    they have all the energy they need
    for seventy-eighty-ninety years.
    sometimes they die when they're
    thirty-forty-fifty years old, but that's
    okay, because they're not children
    anymore."

    you're a lovely poet.
