Turn the static up.They keep sending negativity—I keep finding better uses for it.
Wake up with the weight still crushing my chest,Another damn morning, another damn test.Everybody's got something they wanna say,Like throwing their hate is gonna... [read more] |
Teytonon posted a new Poem titled She wants a holiday, getting a holler day 2 weeks ago
Recently, I overheard a conversation
It wasn't my imagination
Between a husband and his wife
She said 'I'm tired of our humdrum life
When are we gonna go on vacation?'
At that question, from what I saw
Her husband got... [read more] |

roaming wild without reply,
until I feel your gentle tug:

whispering from my fingers,
and in your faintest sigh ... [read more] |

"Boy in Process"
I kept close without saying why,neither for beauty nor for bravery,but because something in me watchedthe steadiness with which you movedthrough rooms I had not yet learned.
You saw the unfinished parts,the rawness I carried,... [read more] |

shadows deepen, stretching
reaching out to the night
to become one with the dark
as lonely stars peek
through the azure dusk
evening alive with her mysteries
solved by ear and less the eye
and I sink into the darkness
becoming... [read more] |

what you did to me....
The Earth will tell the flowers,
The flowers will tell the bees,
The bees will tell the trees,
The trees will tell the birds,
And the birds will whisper
in the ears of many.
The rivers will carry... [read more] |

Bet you're dying to know how I know
About a love between a hippo and rhino
It occurred at the zoo
Every word must be true

A Tupperware of salad, sealed and stacked.

Of blurred geography and borrowed light—
An endless march of "... [read more] |

Easing down your cheek, it took its toll.

Tender moments shared, made us feel whole.

One of the benefits to being an early riser…
is I am blessed to hear and see the interplay
between the night as she clocks out
and cedes the mountains to the day.
There is a lonely owl who, if I’m early enough,
from her spot hidden in... [read more] |

" lurvable"
Mess with this heart,
you always do,
Oblivious to love
that’s true.
Swagger in,
head askew,
Slurring, “I lurv you,

Why burden this heart
with sober disdain,
Hardly meeting my gaze,... [read more] |

looking back to meet my fluttering

Shadows gather, touch grows warm
. Breaths slow down, the heart finds rest.
Lip meets lip, touch yields a shiver
. Stars drift above, sleep carries us under.
Stars drift high, warm touches glow.
