Your lips tear easy,
a ripe seam splitting.
I drink the words
before they escape.

𝘐𝘐. π˜›π˜¦π˜¦π˜΅π˜©
Each kiss is a wound.
I keep your taste
lodged between molars,
a secret no wash can rinse.

𝘐𝘐𝘐. π˜›π˜°π˜―π˜¨π˜Άπ˜¦
Your words dissolve
like fat on flameβ€”
I lap at their smoke,
searing my mouth
just to taste you.

𝘐𝘝. 𝘏𝘦𝘒𝘳𝘡
I split the ribcage clean,
hands bathing in red heat.
I swallow the muscle whole,
and feel your rhythm
become my own.
cradling the muscle
that never stops
calling my name.

𝘝. π˜‰π˜­π˜°π˜°π˜₯
It runs like wine,
hot and feral.
I tilt your throat
and drink until
the night blurs.

𝘝𝘐. π˜‰π˜°π˜―π˜¦
White silence cracks,
splintering my jaw.
I grind the marrow
into hunger’s flour.
splinter by splinter,
until even your marrow
screams inside me.

𝘝𝘐𝘐. 𝘚𝘬π˜ͺ𝘯
Your body is parchmentβ€”
I peel it slow,
line by line,
reading you
to the bone.

𝘝𝘐𝘐𝘐. π˜‰π˜³π˜¦π˜’π˜΅π˜©
You sigh,
and I steal it,
pushing your lungs
empty into mine.

𝘐𝘟. 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳
I have eaten you allβ€”
the mouth, the tongue,
the skin, the heartβ€”
yet nothing fills me.
Love is the wound
that never closes.
this is a collection of poems i wrote because i like the idea of cannibalism being a metaphor for love, not that violently but also because loving someone sometimes means you want to be with them forever. ie, consumption

She never comments.
Never signs her name on my board.
She just sits quietly in my silence,
gathering something that once gathered me.

Now I find myself
hanging in her gallery of wordsβ€”
a whisper, reposted,
a breeze tucked between stanzas.

Each hush she curates
feels like a fragment of heartbreak,
a delicate recollection
made sacred in its echo.
A quick poem in ode to the one reposting my art.

Let's go back in time
Climb the tree in our gulley
And just keep climbing.
-------------------------
If you built a bridge
Out of promises and hope
I would walk it home
-------------------------
My bed half empty
I dream you back by inches
Each night, losing ground
-------------------------
Every day we sat
And I got to hear your voice
It was everything
-------------------------
Poems in my mind
Speak about you constantly
I can't write them all
-------------------------
Can we watch something?
Hold eachother from the cold
You can pick the show

Woke up inward bound
Angelic creatures above
Near enough to kiss
Door to the unknown
Energies of enigma
Revolve in mind wind

Working with the self
Organic evolution
Natural reflex
Defensive posture
Engage de-escalation
Reality check

Walking down the road
Actively minding business
Your shoes are not mine
travel light to travel far

I’ve collected many things in my life
But my favorite
Are the memories and stories
I share with you

Puddle.
           One day in the future I hope you open
            your eyes after it's rained,
            catching your reflection in the
            gathering
            water,
            and find yourself,
            free,
            alive,
            happy.

Youth.
            In an instant, her eyes widened,
             and I saw an innocence long lost,
             as tears began to form.

Blood.
           A stained white wood door,
            splattered in red,
            as the painter again,
            got lost in his head.

How to fix past mistakes.
           You can't. They're done.

Rope.    
          Tie us together,
          and hang out memories from the trees
          we used to climb.
          Suspend us forever with a infinite knot
          on fire.

How to Live with Yourself.
           With a song every morning.
           With change driven by guilt.
           A love never ending.
           A desire to be real.
                But all poetry aside,
                      With closed eyes,
                      deep breaths,
                      an empty mind,
                      and a wish for-

Coffee.
           A bitter taste,
            awakening touch.
           Sweet like cream and sugar,
           warm like cinnamon,
           I need you every morning,
           every day,
           all the time.

Milk Chocolate,
           stuck to my mouth,
           drying it.
           Always longing for something warm to
           wash it down with,
           but you just laugh and call it cute,
           as you wipe the stain from my face.

I miss you.
           Which you, I don't know.
            Whether the one I knew,
            or the one you are.
            I would die one thousand times just
            to see you again.
            It's harder still to know that others do,
            because you're gone,
            only to me.

Kiss.
When you kissed me,
With my eyes still closed,
I said to you:
"I have never had a first kiss."

When I opened my eyes to see your reaction,
You were gone.
And I remembered.


Beds.
Beds are dangerous,
Life-threatening traps.
The sheets: a barbed binding,
Encasing and suffocating.
The covers:
A panic-soaked hug
filled with hyperventilation. (Get off of me!)
The pillow: rocky ground and spinal trouble.


Dreams.
Dreams are non-existent nightmares.
Burning houses and drowning lakes.
Warm open night air in freezing water.
Being locked inside a trunk.
Fields of fireflies.
Cicada's friction.
You.
Always you.


Cafe.
Coffee reminds me of you.
The sweet warmth of cinnamon.
Cool refreshing milk.
Bitter richness of coffee.

A subtle hint of scented lavender.
A pinch of ***** chilli.
Honey, a name as much as a flavor.
Vanilla, pure.


****.
Vulnerable.
On display.
Exposed.

I removed my clothes first,
But you kept yours on.

Disgusted by the sight...
