Starving Stars
starving has the word "star" in it so maybe this hunger is celestial; old as the big bang; old as matter. i want to matter to you more than the air you breathe. -
The Green State (home)
The grizzly bark trees
drop their rusted leaves
and the quilt mountains—
amongst snow and ice,
beside frozen lakes—
groan with content
under the gaze of clouds
with the sun barely peeping.
The smoking chimneys -
Buried in Winter
The greatest of lovers are rumored to not dawdle.
In hope of truth my legs begin pacing
down through the forest blanketed in snow;
past thickened ice the earth shows lo and behold:
It takes more than cloth to survive the cold. -
Gambling, spirits, faith, and pioneers
There is this unfathomable desire for touch
after love has passed you by for millennia.
You wager divinity like a schoolyard bet;
hoping you do not cry this time when you
scrape your knees on honest concrete.

Finding sanctuary in showers
- inspired by Emily Dickinson: who saw holiness in most unexpected of places.

because you have the painfully mortal choice
to either speak to God or wash your hair. -
Endearingly Yours, Vlad III
I had the privilege of stealing your last breath
so that we may kiss each other for eons to come.

come now away
once in the darkness
where i was thinking
i saw a light

The You That You Are
I love the you that you are when you are alone,
The you that you are when you’re at home,
When you look with soft eyes at the cat,
The you that you are when you step onto the doormat.

The Heart of a Table
The ancient wooden table.
The dining room table my family gathered at tonight to enjoy a meal together.
But before my first bite of chicken reaches my mouth, I hear my mom tell my dad:

The Perfect Man
I know that I can feel the greatest feeling of them all,
To look below the earth and slip a sigh.
But only when I meet him and I feel this big emotion
Will I be able to look him in the eyes.

My Silent Love For You
In the depths of my heart, emotions concealed, a silent love story, forever shielded, not to wound the bond we hold dear.
With every beat of my heart, a love blossoms, yet fear's grip keeps it hidden away.

Class on how to be 18
Growing up is scary
So far I don’t like it all that much
I am expected to know
What I want to be in perfect detail
I have to learn how to drive
Without being afraid of the big trucks
