But how
do you
give an
appetite
even
to my eyes?

Fanart: Villanelle, Killing Eve
my chest echoes
with the cries of my monster,
devoting anything that’s not you,
to a psychopath’s slaughter;
the monster in me
has a single-point view:
the only thing it wants
is the monster in you.
-L.M.G.
Poetry
I can scarcely
write poetry
when I’m with you
because
I’m far too overswept
by the way it feels
-LMG
America
It’s not a symptom
of disrespect
or irreverence
to want America to be better,
but is instead of the purest love:
a love that wants
to carry
something even higher.
-L.M.G.
Prayer
It’s pain,
more than a priest,
that teaches you
how to pray.
Wordsmith Wednesday: Poem XXII
I’ve been terrified
by things many
but nothing
has shaken me
like
how much
I love you.
Touchstone Tuesday: Poem XXI
I have loved you
with things more than love,
beyond the vibrant layers
of devotion
to the rotting
folds of
insecurity and failures;
I have given you
even non-gifts,
because I cannot help
but to offer you everything.

Lyrics & Love
You are poetry,
every lyric
more inscrutable,
yet more beautiful,
drawing me deeper
into a reverie
filled
with flowers
and lace.
Written Lovers
Written words
are lovers,
climbing into your heart
and changing
who you’ve
been.
