hold me more tenderly

guarding my peace with swords, kisses, and bite marks

Stop for a second, and just breathe with me

When only the hungriest of ghosts will do.

I’m pretty sure the key to happiness is knowing what enough is - so simple

you have to let your heart break all the way there is no other way out

Detail from Venus and Cupid by Jacques de Gheyn II, 1610

That’s gonna leave a mark.

his energy is hot blooded and caring

I like nice people.

The thread count of this entanglement.

lazy day

I’ll take my payment in starlight.

a tenderness so plain and mysterious you can’t name it

The window letting in the dreaming.

Dreaming aloud

hold me weather

Charles-Victor Guilloux, Clair de lune (1895). Nitess💤

a fire hot cocoa and kissing

babiest babe for you

The rain brushing up against the day.

to be his mess his sweetness and warmth all at once

it’s time I learn to be tender to myself

hold me tight but soft

🖼️ Sam Wilson

he calls me sweetness and I become

Taking notice of your beauty.

take my mind off my mind please

My peace, my quiet mind, my calm, is always in love.

To be seen. To love. To be loved.

quiet isn’t quiet enough, so I find new ways to soften myself

She’s the tear that hangs inside my soul forever.

love gives you music

how strange it would be to not love you

THE MOON

new hat same pup

The day with its eyes thick with dreaming.

he’s a tight hug in winter in the middle of the night

She’s the light reflected off the surface of the water.

the more good feelings I get the more I want

practice radical decency.

turns out clarity is hot

They’re not good poems, but they’re good drafts

how crazy life is and how beautiful

yes, I’m very babe for you

You can’t stop it once it’s started.

Don’t let love get away.
