Belle Violet

Don’t read my work
and claim to see
something that there may not be.
Don’t shred my words
...

I've grown increasingly needy
and that's so unlike me.
Usually it's the boy
that winds up needing me.
...

Cupcakes are meant
to be savored.
Devoured.
Loved and
...

I wanna be your
Wrangler jeans.
Clinging,
to those legs.
...

Shoe polish, nail polish,
ravens and crows.
Squished ashes and cinders,
and arachnid foes.
...

Measure, merge
Angle, curve.
...

Passion born to us
in a foggy-windowed Ford.

this feeling in me
that swirls and manifests
in the pit of my stomach
...

There's one word I'm leery to speak,
and it's spoken by a woman each day.

I don't care what your GPA was,
or how many A's

to the scent of him.
His mouth near my neck.
My back

He-Man, Hulk or
Hercules;

...

Oh, be quiet, brain,
I just want you to sleep.
I'll write everything down
If you'll give me some peace.
...

I’m not craving chocolate
But
I’m listening
to love songs.
...

Today it seems
the oddest thing;
I think my heels
are made up of
...

I wanted to write
for you tonight
but I can't think of what to say.
The days are getting longer,
...

I look forward
to clear skin.
when my chin

...

If Zeus
were a person,
he'd look just like you.
He'd have tussed-up,
