everyday they want you to shrink:
fit in here, in my palm, in my shadow, don’t be bigger than my idea of you, don’t be more beautiful than i can accept, don’t be more human than i am willing to allow you to be and be quiet, you’re too loud, even your un-belonging is loud. quiet your dreams, your voice, your hair, quiet your skin, quiet your displacement, quiet your longing, your...

You love me especially different every time.
You keep me on my feet happily excited.
By your cologne, your hands, your smile, your intelligence.
You woo me,
You court me,
You tease me,
You please me,
You school me,
Give me some things to think about.
Ignite me,
You invite me,
You co-write me,
You love me,
You like me

Would you claim her as your prize?
Would you carry her pain?
Would you listen, unmovingly to her history of dark thoughts… so deathly persisting?
Are you here to hold her hand; and journey beyond this tormented labyrinth of emotions she calls her heart…?
Do you care for her, at all… Truly?
Are you her morning tide, the playful evening wind.
Can you stand in the...

naledisibisi:
I dare you to show me the you you are when the curtains are drawn and the lights are weak and the windows are open but the wind is too courteous to speak.
I dare you to trust my shoulder with every tear you own, every faulty chromosome, every feeling full blown.
I dare you to write to me. Gift…

strong girls like you must be
the world’s loneliest creatures
your silences, their own wilderness
where the men
come with promises that they will be
the one that gets you to stay.
big-shouldered boys who will melt
their bones down into currency
and will want to conquer you but
never claim.
you are the girl they chase
not because they actually want you
but to prove that...
This is (not) for you
msomi-muse:
Empty riddles writhe in the pit of my mind at the whisper of your voice
Ravaged lungs breathe your being until oxygen becomes a distracting noise
Numb hearts jolt at the sight of your face with hopes that the beats will be consistent again
Impulses beg moments with you that only wish replacement from pain to pleasure
Emotions make my pen insane and I can’t help but wonder
How...
