mossy little love notes

Naked I climbed the cutting mountains I scraped my palms There On the cold and heartless stone I left traces of my blood in the snow and ice Now I cannot make a fist to fight my demons For the scars keep my hands always open I can only hold them out And beg for freedom and warmth #poem

I used to think about what he did to me But now all I can think about is what I want to do to you #LittleLovePoems

Once I was Giving myself to someone Letting them take and take Until there was nothing left But a dry and cracking shape Now I spend all my days with you Our love pouring and pouring over us And pooling at our feet Until birds come and drink Shaking their little wings in delight 💌

It’s ok to want your parents to love you To ache for it like your chest is falling open Thirty years later It’s ok to have a text conversation with your mother And feel like you would die For her to tell you she loves you And mean it 💌

I touch my heart but there is only a flower there A many-petaled one I must protect her So that the one i love can breathe deeply And be comforted 💌

Stop these words Stop the words that cut and burn Put your fingers to your mouth to stop them and see your lover get distracted by your lips And leap into their arms Do that Do that tonight instead #LittleLovePoems

#poem Don’t you wonder What it would be like Not to trip over sudden roots and land Dirt and leaves ground into your cheek Boot prints on your belly Tangled branches blotting out the sky?

If your poem Doesn’t make any sense Why did you lay it here On the table of the damned We are starving for poetry Parched Hollow Crawling from post to post like the dying We need meaning like you would not believe Give us a poem We can understand Keep us alive one more hour #poetry #poem

The blackberry bushes along the ditches Are verdant in their ardor for life Hungry for the sunshine over the highway When the cars finally stop coming The briars will take over In under a year the roads will be impassable And the bees will have them The bees will have us all #Poem

There was a door of oak Into which was carved your face But I did not open this door Nor did I open the door of hard steel Your name etched in it again and again No I opened the door of soft golden pine With a window of sea glass And hinges of birdsong I liked it And You are behind every door 💌

If there existed a secret library Dusty and silent Soft green light filtered through windows long ago covered with ivy I would know He would have found me there Awaiting only his touch on my spine Falling gently open to a page Written a thousand years ago And describing exactly His eyes 💌

I just told my boyfriend That when I see him I am going to be like a little hedgehog But also like A dead jellyfish on the beach And he still wants to see me So if you are wondering if there is true love in this world Ask the hedgehogs Or the beach For I will be too busy kissing To answer 💌

Sometimes When I see the world I bleed love And it drips down my body to the dirty street For instance Did you know that coconut water Is so perfect for the human body That you can put it straight into your veins This man Breaking coconuts with a machete And they bleed love That was made for you 💌

How about this I’ll keep thinking of things to say Things that are not Heartbreaking And you just cling to me Humming something Anything And then we can switch And together we won’t drown At least not tonight #LittleLovePoems

The way you gently hold my waist To guide me through a door Because I’m so distracted by your body I can’t remember how to get out of an elevator #LittleLovePoems

When you are young You think you are in love And the birds settle in the evening trees and laugh at you And then love finally comes like morning light And you are a bird 💌

I am a jar of warm honey Glistening in the morning light Making your fingers sticky Oooh You must lick them #LittleLovePoems

Sometimes When I walk the world It is so perfect that it breaks my heart And i bleed love For instance did you know that coconut water Is so perfect for your body That it can replace IV fluid This man Breaking coconuts with a machete And they bleed love That was made for you #LittleLovePoems

The children and I walked the fence of his self loathing Leaned into the barbed wire until our skin was torn and cut Then sat down in the dry wind and bled into the golden grass The sun moved slowly west but nothing changed So when night fell we crawled under on our bellies and were gone #poem

If you popped by for tea If you came over right now You could tell that we both wore black last night By the trail of discarded clothing Beginning at the door and extending to every piece of furniture he bent me over 💌

I’m trying to get out the door Really I am But I keep ending up in bed And anyway Where are my clothes All I can seem to find is These sheets Your body My tongue Again and again and again 💌

Introducing new little love poet @defarobot.bsky.social to our admittedly languishing feed. I’m so excited!!! 💌
