you know I'm in love with you, in a hopeless, clumsy, summer kind of way, a two kids meeting at the crosswalk, gripping their handlebars with slick palms way, in a wind-filled car way, in a hanging mistletoe way, in the sprightly blinking of a string of christmas lights way, you know I'm in love with you because half of you is you and the other half of you is me. and you know that from the first time saw you I thought you were glittering, unwild, like the place in rivermouth where fish grapple for a decision, and it was then that thought you're mine, mine, mine, mine in the way that the fish belong to the river's own struggle.

here's the thing - youth washes over you in waves. this one brought fish-nets full of legs. brought salty kisses with no sunny greetings, no see you soon postcard with a smiling face. clouds were too persistent that day. today. the wave brought bodies, shiny with the sea falling from the sky. they're struggling on the surface of reality afraid of either end. smoke adds more smaller clouds, I lose track of the faces again. until someone coughs and the rest laugh. that's how I know it's fine. those people like to play forever young on their phones and that's how I know they like being lied to. each wave is getting us closer to the coast we've been avoiding for years. so I keep on fishing those fragments out like the memories of ancient greece - they've been holding their breath for two thousand years; diving champion heroes, arms, amphoras. diving champion junkies, headaches, bottles.

that is sunlight, whispers the wind
the curtains sway with a woosh, to the left and to the right
i reach out for the sun to try and contain it in my hands
but ethereal beings cannot be held
when the wind brings me the night i peer up at the moon
i study the way the moon brings a creamy haze to the world
cold coffee drips from my finger tips and the roof of my mouth hums for me
when the sun comes again this time the rain has brought it
the water falls around me and raindrops close enough whisper secrets into my ears that i will never forget
that night the moon brings thunderstorms and the drumming of thunder tells me everything ive ever wanted to know
the sun and the moon keep chasing eachother through the sky while the weather it brings tell me the secrets of existence
when the sun comes again, i try to grab it
and i do
it burns my hand but not painfully so
i hold the light in my soul and whisper it the secrets the rain and the thunder and the wind and the lightning told me
the clouds attach to my feet and the wind contructs me a bag of secrets to carry
that night the moon gives me millions of little messages for the sun, stars in the day time
i am the message man
i am hermes

"I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark."
What We Talk About When We Talk About Love by Raymond Carver
Tumblr media
by Holly Warburton
"How strange it is. We have these deep terrible lingering fears about ourselves and the people we love. Yet we walk around, talk to people, eat and drink. We manage to function. The feelings are deep and real. Shouldn't they paralyze us? How is it we can survive them, at least for a little while? We drive a car, we teach a class. How is it no one sees how deeply afraid we were, last night, this morning? Is it something we all hide from each other, by mutual consent? Or do we share the same secret without knowing it? Wear the same disguise?"
White Noise by Don DeLillo
"We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?"
Nine Lives by Ursula K. Le Guin
Tumblr media
Skaters by Marianne von Werefkin
"How are you? Fine, and you? It's not that we don't care, it's that we're terrified that someone will actually break down and tell us. Everyone I know is in some kind of pain. Everyone."
Journal, Day Three by Richard Siken
how poignant and heart-rending is it that we're all going to work or school and riding our bikes and feeding our dogs and driving to the grocery store and emailing back our coworkers and yet among it all we're each screaming (somewhat out of sync) someone please please love me for this for something for anything!

Howling at the Moon by Darshana Suresh
Tumblr media
by Holly Warburton
"Everybody has experienced the defeat of their lives. Nobody has a life that worked out the way they wanted it to work out. We all begin as the hero of our own dramas, in centre stage, and inevitably life moves us out of centre stage, defeats the hero, overturns the plot and the strategy and we’re left on the sidelines, wondering why we no longer have a part, or want a part, in the whole damn thing. So everybody’s experienced this. When it’s presented to us sweetly, the feeling goes from heart to heart and we feel less isolated and we feel part of the great human chain, which is really involved with the recognition of defeat."
Leonard Cohen
"It astonishes me sometimes -no,often- how every person I get to know -everyone, regardless of everything, by which i mean everything- lives with some profound personal sorrow. [...] Is sorrow the true wild? And if it is-and if we join them-your wild to mine-what’s that? For joining, too, is a kind of annihilation. What if we joined our sorrows, I’m saying. I’m saying: What if that is joy?"
The Book of Delights by Ross Gay
Tumblr media
by Alena Shymchonak
"The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out."
Nothing Personal by James Baldwin

you’re called dark.
you mean dark like soil and earth? like sweet chocolate, rich truffles, and the oakiest of wine? a still, undisturbed lake? a star freckled sky? a walnut armchair? a chestnut cabinet? a silky velvet or soft fabric? like the black fur of your purring kitten?
your nights are dark. your hair is dark. your eyes are dark. that isn’t a bad thing, love. it’s time you realized that dark isn’t an insult. - worldsinmywords

Are you reading any books currently ?
as a writer and person who is a self-proclaimed bookworm I wish I could say yes but sadly I am not bc I never have time to go the library! it’s tragic, really. the last one I read was The Cursed Child and it was not as bad as everyone makes it out to be? but it also wasn’t great lol. I mostly just read stuff on wattpad and tumblr! (if anyone has a wattpad feel free to message me your book and I will check it out)

hello i need opinions
hi! so in case u guys didn't kno i write a lot (check me out @worldsinmywords but that's not the point) and im working on a book of prose poetry!! it's mostly based off of greek mythology (some of which is pretty obscure) but the main theme is love and heartache. 
it's not a super common topic for poetry and in the words of my writing teacher, “no one cares about the past like they do about the now”, but i personally am really passionate about it and i think it shows in my writing. if u message me abt it i can show u some work too if u like giving feedback bc i love constructive criticism!
sorry for the length of this post ugh! anyway! do you guys think people would read it/would you?
