Rory liked Dean but she didn’t love him. She liked going on dates with him. She liked that he’d spend time with her and watch movies with her and get along with her mother. But there was no fire, no matter how much she wanted there to be one. She couldn’t burn like she did for exploring the world and the written word. She couldn’t burn for him.
Rory loved Logan but she didn’t like him. She loved his freedom, his adventurous spirit, his lust for life. She loved how she could let herself go with him, put faith in something dangerous and not shatter. But she didn’t like how cruel he could be to others. She didn’t like how dismissive he was, of responsibilities, of consequences, of people’s hurt. She didn’t really like him.
Rory liked Jess and she loved him. She liked that he liked the same stuff as her, liked that he’d help out his uncle without bragging, and talk with her friends, and throw literary challenges at her because he genuinely wanted her opinion. She loved his honesty, his integrity, how he’d leave her speechless with his gaze and breathless with his kisses. How he looked at her, all of her, and never made her feel like she was lacking. She liked and she loved him. And it scared her shitless.

I see the beauty in a bee
I see the beauty in the moon
I see the beauty in a tree
I see the beauty of a view
I see the beauty in the sea
And I see the beauty in you
.
I see the beauty in so many things
That is plain to see
So why can't I see the beauty
That resides inside of me?

Most times when I want to write a poem, my brain just starts thinking in iambic pentameter until I have a good opening line. Poetry brain has been fast asleep for a few weeks now and I am pretty sure it's the stress.
Plot twist: Writing poems helps me de-stress.

Forgive me for waiting too long
For letting your love twist and spoil
With my neglect
Forgive me for courting you
And leaving you to rot
Forgive me for insisting on your love
When I should have given you back
As you extract your filthy vengeance
I ask
Forgive me

Monstrous Devotion (It Will Devour You Whole)
Another piece for @m1d-45. It was meant to be short but as you can tell, got out of hand.
Desperation 
You remember it well
How it sparked your blood
And got it to run
How it tasted of bitter and tang
Much like the sting of blood
You remember how it kept you alive
Made your nerves so sensitive 
It prickled with every breeze
Every slight disturbance
How it kept your sleep light
And your dreams even lighter
Even now as you watch
The archons who adorn your body
With the most precious of gems
And the rarest of treasures 
They who once tried to shed your blood
To water their blade
You see the warriors of each nation
Who tried to rend your soul from your body
Attend your every need 
Degrading themselves as objects
As lesser than human
To try and exalt you higher
You feel more than you hear
As you watch once beloved characters
Stain themselves with sin
Desperation of their own
Rising to the surface
Their desperation is monstrous 
Predator to prey
Your own desperation has not waned
It has only grown
Writhing under your skin
Fueled by fine jewelry 
Silken clothes
And bloodstained manic smiles
Your forgiveness is not sincere
It is learned
Through a lifetime of pain
Of a death so vivid
You're desperate to stay alive
You are willing to do anything
But what once kept you safe
Will now be the one to deal a fatal blow
You already know this
Alarm bells ringing
With every minute move
But it's far too late
You're stuck in puppet motions
That are to never cease
Until the life drains from your eyes
Desperation made you learn to survive
And now that very same lesson shall be the one to end you

"night sky with exit wounds"
constellations traced out in crimson / stars on your cheeks / the night sky - scarlet / a gradient painted in red / even my moon has imperfections / and i adore every bit of her / she wears makeup to bed / just to stay up all night / hoping for light to find her / i paint her poems in red / waiting for the light to find me / i can't word out a map / with all the might of my pen / stay with me / no, you don't need to run / stay with me / my blood / at least for the night / at least till the light finds us / it never does / it'll never do / and i'll stay with you / my blood / for all through the night / our hands were the daylight.
you ask me if god is real / if there's a way to heaven / and i offer you my small glass world / with tiny humans of hope / gigantic trenches of love / everything i ever wished - for you / but you'd still be disappointed / for my world had no god / and no trace of heaven / you are a lot like my mother / she ties a knot in her scarf for every promise she makes / you tie a knot in the past so that you can selectively move on / you both speak a language of inclusive love / can't deny ice cream / you are a lot like me too / but we've already made those comparisons / my miniature world has come crashing down / and tonight / i feel like walking on the glass shards / barefoot / bleeding onto humans of hope / drowning them / untying all the knots / wiping the scarlet blush off the night sky / not waiting for the light to find me / diving head first into the ground / to know / if god is real / if there's a way to heaven.

I'm going to do a project on Ireland, it's either gonna be about Ireland being colonized or about the potato famine. I'm going to be writing in English(the subject) so i'm mostly going to be analyzing different literary works. I am interested in works from people living through the time so like poetry and such.
I was thinking of doing "a modest proposal" by Dr. Jonathan swift but i found out that the time period is in fact not during the potato famine so i don't think i can use that.
if anyone has any suggestions please share them:)

our fathers fuck us up
and we still want to be men
if only to be a better man than him

Poem about Potatos
The ground dark, ruff
Gives so much more than it takes
Apples of plenty from the darkness
No famine, not here
A land of savory peace in its cuff
Abundance it makes
Oh joy its night to caress
Just into its ripe bosom to peer
Even a god of blood fertiles this land
His life and love to bring to pass
The rich yellow offerings
Bring forth, bring forth!
Hold this gift precious in your hand
Alas the riches come alas
With this feat the god is now king
He wears his crown henceforth
-Connie

Study of a kiss between two boys at Withers Bay
Poem in text form under the cut
Tumblr media
A kiss can make you forget
you both stood behind
your grandfather's workshop
Of painted wood, weathered by the bay's
wind and salt-flecked air.
The summer frogs sang with lustful intent
and
The crickets with desperation to find
mates,
None of which mattered to a teenage boy
who simply wanted to hold his
best friend's hand;
White, tender, and soft—
too soft for labour
That required hardened hearts
and steady hands,
Decapitated groupers and silenced whales
He bore of papercuts and ink stains,
bearing delicate knowledge
of the universe whilst yours
Knew of work,
money,
and of mouths to feed.
You taste hints of the sweet potato
he loathes so much,
how he tried to drown it
in dollops of golden honey
Suddenly conscious of how your breath is
Of the rum you pilfered from
a dozing sailor
The waves are quiet here.
You both look up in supplication
To the stars.
