Better watch your tone and distance
Cause there are three guns in this house
—four if I'm really keeping count
But you can hold yours—it's a shootout!
I got to-go bags and been taking stock
Of which keys open which locks—
Crazy what stress does to living
🦋

This is the same neckpiece
Since you last saw me
Are you ready to feed?
I still got something in my teeth
What a luxury—
Like waking up to someone's cooking
Who remembers you don't eat meat
It's the small things
I know there's some who can't relate...
🦋 #poem #poetry #alchemy #poetryblsky
People ask me where I've been
Like they've never had a long day
Some be afraid to go outside
I'm burnt in sun rays
Don't gotta get in your head
To look inside
Emotions fetter and flay
Whatever has been harbored
Is always better to give away

Been in the rain so long that my socks are wet!
Makes me forget
The sunshine from my Goddess
I keep it tucked in my pocket—
The last straw was when a puddle got my last cigarette...
I swear I'm just another wrong step
From never drinking water again!
🦋 #poem #poetry #poems #blskypoetry #writing
I know I was mean
Even made you bleed
I regret making you leave
It's always hard to see
What's wrong with me
Until I'm paying the fee

Look at all the worlds I can see
Sitting on this pile of laundry
Puffing clouds of nicotine
Each one like a galaxy
So why would I ever leave?
I forgot to eat...
Grow tired of these basic needs
It all seems like a conspiracy!
I feel locked up in my flesh
🦋 #poetry #poem #poetryblr #poetcommunity
I'm all out of desire
Romance peaked—it lost its fire
Think I died in its pyre
My halo's made of wire
—but I don't care
Keep reviving and I'm tired
—but I don't care

Inside you there's a sword
It chips when you break your word
—I've been hitting the forge
Mine is dull & warped
I don't have all the pieces anymore
Shattered—I'm left with shards
I'm not alarmed
Going through life unarmed
But want to show I got fire in my heart
🦋 #poem #poetry #writing #poems
I don't like to receive guests
But for you—there's an exception
It's less of a reflection
And more of a test
Of my own self worth.

I'm not keeping my morals
I'm an asshole—
That's why I hate myself
Probably hate you, too
Built a rocketship to blow up the moon
Me and my Goddess aren't on the best terms...
She's mad that I stopped taking shrooms.

No—I can't chill with you
I'm crafting illusions out of truths
Not afraid of sneaky sleuths
Safe under a domme's boot
And I like a switcheroo
So I know how to get rude
I'm not trying to be cute
Only one snake under my roof
And I live in a studio
So I'm the living proof
🦋 #poetry #poem #writing
Love is just a promise
Of karma
So I stay awake at night—
Petrified of its hardship
I'm the bleeding type
You're prone to false martyrs
I've seen the way you bite
And I got no armor—
Don't imagine my demise
It's an assumed starter...
🦋
#poetry #poem #poems #poet #writing #creativewriting
Oh, pretty baby
It's always a request
Point your arrow at my chest
You're killing me daily!
I know you're gonna leave soon
But would you take my last breath?
It's only us in this dark room—
Sharpen your teeth so they're gleaming
Darling, you're gorgeous when you consume!
🦋 #poetry #poem #writing
Got something inside of me
Trying to break free
I'm a faucet with a leak
About to loose a wave
—please, evacuate!
Push away whoever I got left
To keep them from the mess
Like to think I'm prone to honesty
Honestly my boundaries are weak
Don't know who's close or
At arms length
🦋 #apoemaday #poem
Days begin to melt
Wet with heat as they drip
Pooling together—they swell
Until they get so big
I can't remember
What happened last or next
Nights become sporadic
Each one cold as December
Dreams & reality condense
Brittle—they're crushed together
I get caught in the mix
🦋 #apoemaday #poetry
Like staring out the window
During long transit rides
When the lights
Come on—
They're too bright
We squint
Our eyes and in a blink
Snow arrives
Killing our summer nights
All too soon
Beach breeze
Kisses—
Turn into frigid boned
Fist fights
🦋
#apoemaday #poems #poetry #poem #writing
You left me paralyzed
With just a gaze—
Took me too long to realize
Those eyes were a warning
I should have stayed away
In the game of cat and mouse
I'm always giving chase
Never notice I'm a rodent
Lost in the feline's maze
I let you swallow me up
—what a mistake
🦋
#apoemaday #poem #poetry
On staircase rebars
A needle gave me a gift
Taking half my heart
For a stone face and gem lips
Able to be dishonest
With no cost
I took what I wanted
Hardly felt who I lost
Didn't realize nightmares
Were warnings of future terrors
I regret crossing the line
🦋
#apoemaday #poetry #poem #writing
Grown comfortable with age
There's always a turning table
Not surprised at betrayal
Used to be aggressive
So I get why you're pensive
You don't need to be defensive
These days I don't brace for attack
I just take the L in laugh
Use it to make a better day
🦋
#apoemaday #poem #poetry #writing
Never consistently
Have I remembered
My dreams
Usually—the ones I crave
Are lost in the fog
Draping sweat in
Bedsheets are
The ones still haunting
If things never go
According to plan
Why bother with alarms
At all?
I punched a hole
Through my clock
🦋
#apoemaday #poetry #poem #writing #poems
What do you take me for?
I'm trying to be more
Than the 'me' I perceive
Than the 'you' you believe
This heart's a trapdoor
This body's empty
Quit spelunking—there's no treasure!
Nothing to find
You've wasted your time
On a gem transformed to a sword
Blood runs dry
🦋 #apoemaday #poem #poetry
When you throw fire for fun
It's important to watch what burns
Try to remember the cause
Hands are not shooting stars
Light is a breath in the night
Warm but fragile
And bites—
Shadows settle in tight
Careful when you aim with the Sun
🦋
#APoemADay #poetry #poem #poems #writing
If you were a stone
On the beach
I wouldn't reach
To take you home
You're better off
On the shore—
Untouched
I'm prone to ruining
Through coveting
Your hue is still shining
In the sand
So I wouldn't hold you
In my hand
Just glance
And keep walking
🦋
#APoemADay #poetry #poem #poems
Today is a new day
Can't forget mistakes
That happened yesterday...
Always repairing
Some type of damage
Proving that I can't change
Sober, high or drunk
You'll hate me within a month
There's a reason I'm closed off—
My moods are fickle as rain.
🦋 #APoemADay #poetry #poem #poems #writing
Our history is
Mars in the sky
Always first to be noticed
Red like your eyes
Communication was tied
Even on Earth
You're Jupiter bright
Larger than life
I'm more like Saturn
Without a glass I'm harder to find
We were not aligned
🦋
