կերասի շրթունքներ
վարդագույնի այտեր
նուշի աչքեր
աշխարհի ամենավաղ պարարտ
այգի ես դուն:cherry lips
rosy cheeks
almond eyes:
you are the earth’s
most fertile garden.
Tag: love
oh, the way they lie
through glass lenses
for dollar signs
it isn’t true love
unless you apologize
show me something real
where the love hurts like i do
i don’t want fake tears
i want passion that burns
lovers to the ground
and dwindles down
and they emerge like phoenixes
from the dust.
am i going to be like
my favorite song in tenth grade:
the one i memorized all the words to
& listened to 347 times
which subsequently lost all its meaning?
or the quotes & photos i hang up
on my bedroom wall with the
intent to inspire:
the ones that i wake up to everyday
& seize to notice anymore?
will you see my face & hear my laugh
& look into my eyes one
too many times: will i
begin to become
ordinary, too?
time has eroded you
from my mind(like waves erode a sandy shore)
depositingyou into the delft
waters of the subconscious
where you sinkdeeper every time
i fall in love with him
a little more.
lost in space
& timethe look in your eyes
the static
of your skin
touching mine& like a universe
ever-expanding, this sense ofeternity pulls
at me, magnetic
& dizzying.
I was the ocean and she was the moon; pulling me in and pushing me away.
tucking flowers behind your ears
watching the sun dance in the sky
waiting for the air to clear
i never want to leave your side.from this hill we see the town
i twist my fingers between yours
to keep myself from falling down
because your love my soul secures.and when the earth begins to shake
fear will not grip my stuttering heart
because with you i know i’m safe
though the world begins to fall apart.
There was no hurricane warning the morning you hit me.
I will always want you, but I will never need you.
I Am A Tornado But You Touched Me Like I Was A Flower
I am thick thighs and a mess of hair
bitten nails and bloody thumbs,
clumsy feet and a mind on overdrive–
a tornado is not supposed to be
beautiful.
But you touched me like I was
inside out,
like you had seen my bones
spun from widow’s silk
and feared that
with just your lips you could destroy me.
