I don’t understand myself
What are these feelings?
Sensations of the soul
Or fractures in my mind?
Even Scrooge said but a toothpick can summon demons
Perhaps it’s that and nothing more
As the raven agreed
Madness or confusion
I know not which
Love or hopefulness
I wouldn’t know
Fixated or obsessed?
Infatuated or depressed?
Lonely, that’s for sure
I don’t see an open door
Closed out, locked up
It’s all just kid stuff
Maybe I’ll grow up tomorrow
Forget this childish sorrow
What’s there to cry over
When you don’t even understand?
Your own self and the things gnawing away
i wait for my bride to awake. by WhatIsANonSequitur, literature

i wait for my bride to awake.
I awake with her at my side,
the sun peaking in though a broken blind.
Lying I wait, her head on my chest,
with a hand too rough i gently caress
her skin so warm it instills in side,
some quiet joy and a sense of pride.
pondering this happy twist of fate,
i wait for my bride to awake.
To wake? To wake to what? A drafty house where nothing works,
a world in which poverty hurts
where she has most of what she needs,but none of her wants,
where all the glitz and glitter serves only to taunt?
Powerless to rectify these things i lye and wait,
hoping love will suffice, for my bride to awake.
a hundred heart beats by WhatIsANonSequitur, literature
Literature
a hundred heart beats
hand full of hair, your skin on my teeth
nails down my back, a hundred heart beats
we've been here before
but still you fail to breathe, my eyes meeting yours
penetrating every thought
all attempts to speak
are all for not
though there's really no need
for we both know
this moment consumes what we are
every kiss, caress,
potentially a scar
left on our body's, hearts, and minds,
so much damage done in so little time.
till we both have no choice, but to lie in embrace
hearts racing skin bleeding on the pillow case
Oh also may be doing some modeling in the not too distant future so be on the lookout for those shots (something other than those goddamn selfies I constantly take)
