the flames

danced around you with a jovial tipped monotony

they had their next victim, their newest soul to possibly test

ignorance in the fact that you, you silly are FUCKING BLESSED

stress, an animal you tamed with a modesty constructed with strength by tears

the fears coward with a card-like pattern so folded

the times didn’t realize the warrior they had mistakenly molded

I’M HERE

pushing away the shitty cloak of constant, persistent, shadowed inadequacy

we’re each others’ ride or die fucking trying

a slight against you stirs the coldest uprising

DON’T MAKE ME

fold within your newfound yet familiar tragedies

take my hand as no matter how hard we may bleed

i love you, i love you, i love you

my beauty. Seriously

jurri j.

powdered indifference

i try not to feel a thing for you

but the precarious spaces in a lofty barricade

gave way to lust on a monday so mundane

i tried to ignore you among the masses of those that lift

you stretched out beside me, some kind of backward gift

please forgive me

i pretend i know not what i do

you’re You

jurri j.

i wrote

about a man whose beauty captured my imagination

wildfire against a mind covered with banks of snow

the push and pull of want and the need to simply know

if bearing witness is a good as it gets

i am gratitude

you are Transcendent

jurri j.

he said

i didn’t know what loving him meant

and embarrassment shaded my actions

because the truth with heart expands past mere fraction

and i whispered, i still want to

i still want You

(always)
