Impressionistic

Do I dare disturb the universe?
For I have known them all already, known them all -
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.

Just listen to this poem. I love it. Garden by Sierra DeMulder

Sierra DeMulder - Garden

If the first step in getting there is telling you I love you, I will carve it in Braille on your pillow so it’s the first thing you feel in the morning.

we came whirling
out of nothingness
scattering stars
like dust

the stars made a circle
and in the middle
we dance

This is sheer brilliance.

When I first read the dictionary, I thought it was a long poem about everything.

Because the microphone slouches like a bad boy
whose neck I want to choke.

Because sometimes the poem punches its way

I assume it’s because I usually find myself dedicating time to things that will only last a few moments
I guess that’s why I fall in love with things that will never love me back
and I know that sounds crazy but it’s easier than it seems
and to be honest I think it’s safer that way

relationships often remind that I’m not afraid of heights or falling
but I am scared to death of everything that’s going to happen the very moment
that my body hits the ground
Rudy Francisco, My Honest Poem (via yourveryfleshshallbeagreatpoem)

At 7:35 A.M, you lay your tired body on mine

before peeling off, like a slow band-aid.

At 8:40 you sprint home and make instant coffee.

At 9:45 we finally drink it, cold.

I finish your leftover half.

By 10:50 you are already breathless.

I live for every time we overlap.

When 11:55…
