Artifacts

You drove
Up that mountain road
And you hypnotized me
With your eyes
And the way you sang to me

Do you even know
How you melt me instantly
With that soft smile
And all shades of love
Falling across your face

And when we reached the place
Where the trees break
And give way to the view
You led me out
To drink in the sunset

You may not have known
But as you pulled me close
My shoulders pressed against your chest
I closed my eyes
And promised never to forget

Every moment with you
Is captured in my heart
Held there forever
Treasures tucked away
Priceless artifacts

The Gluttonous Monster

Did you know that I’m always hungry?
They say I’m a glutton.

My favorite snacks are humans.
That’s a food for thought, huh?

I’m hungry for their minds.
I just can’t get enough of it.

Feed me your stories,
your words; your emotions.

Lay them on a silver platter
I just might put it on instagram.

I’m starving. Feed me.
Feed my longing curiosity.

I’m so hungry.

Did you know?
That out of all these humans, you,
you are my favorite delicacy

I savor your every smile
your every touch; your every laugh

This bottomless pit in my stomache
is filled with just one taste
of your kiss.

And I just want to save you,
take you home 
and keep you there.

Devour and consume 
every bit of you.

You are the only one
able to put me in a food coma.

Only you satisfy the cravings
of my sweet tooth.

So stay with me.
And I promise to turn you into a glutton

Just like me—
Always hungry.

Then you’ll understand the
cravings that I have.

You’ll understand that only 
you and I
can feed each other, 
what humans call: 
“love.”

Fireworks and Grenades

We were fireworks and grenades
In glorious explosions of terrifying danger
We climbed cliffs only to throw ourselves off
Just to feel the rush of the wind before the crash
We were toxic
We were murderous
But oh, the moments of elation

During the highs, I actually thought I could fly
