I wouldnt just yet call myself a poet or a writer, but i dabble.
a taste of my notes app:
-
Its a beautiful morning in san fransisco And maybe I should paint my house blue.
There’s enough sunlight to distract
My boyfriend’s poor circulation,
As the San Francisco fog
Hugs you like a friend and kisses your nose.You invite her in for coffee,
And the hills lose their steepness.
The crispness of the air—
The most important part of me tumbles out
Of holes I sewed buttons back onto.A city that makes you want to pick up old habits
And wear them, because they’re yours.
Or because you found them somewhere you loved
And forgot you left them there too.San Francisco makes you want to ride a bike,
Buy a book,
And smile at people wearing sweaters—
Because they’re a soft statement,
And maybe the world needs more softness.
Maybe San Francisco knows it too.And maybe
If I leave the window open long enough,
She’ll stay a little longer— The fog, the light, the soft rediscovery
of who I was when I wasn’t full of disappointment
and the pressing curiosity, the insistent demand that maybe i should be.. anyone else. -
The flavour of contentment,
Time garnished with delight
Joyous people, lively events
You're sat at a table with a drink
Happy with who you've become
Stop wondering
What would have happened
.. what would have happened
What would have happened
-
The night you were meant to come over
I bought bagels for breakfast,
Played kokoroko outside
and smoked
Until my throat was sore
Lights pooled over the butamen
And I watched the vibrations
Of Sheila Maurice-greys trumpet
rippling blues and oranges;
splitting the dark open
like it was trying to make something soft
out of something hard
Like teaching the silence how to hum
-
When it gets too cold
To remember what shared body heat feels like
I buy $6 sushi outside glenferrie station
I’ll stalk his mum on facebook
I’ll draw a bath with eucalyptus oil
I’ll place my hand lighter next time
They play pop hits in the supermarket
We’ll play jazz in the car
I'm learning to accept more.
You leave hickeys on my neck
For me to discover later in a public bathroom
They remind me of my first lover
I never meant to make you my metaphor
Im running off three hours of sleep
Dry shampoo from the chemist
The February heat will burn
I wash my body like a chore
Tell me the truth forever
My dreams are stained forest green
I've never met someone so independent
Without thought, we become a weekly ritual
Find me tipsy by the yarra
Stop trying to teach me what love is
I want you, I wish I was allowed to talk about it
I imagine you shirtless by the window
Hot and tumbled
You're a rockstar
And you're softer than i've ever been
You're softer than i'll ever be
It takes time to fall to your senses
I buy $6 sushi outside glenferrie station
I’ll buy $6 sushi outside glenferrie station.
im trying to capture something im just not quite sure what it is yet.
