Place your hand on my back and feel the tenderness of my skin.
Pay attention to my eyes like you would the last bowling pin.
And spare me the hurt; caress me with care.
Put your lips to my lips and your hand through my hair.
I know it’s too early and I’m not thinking straight,
But would you so kindly ask me out on a date?
Would you take me to dinner? We could split up the check,
But don’t drop me off without sharing a peck.
A peck on the cheek; a thread to hold on to.
It’s hard to hold on since I don’t know much about you.
But I’m willing to wait just to know where we stand
But would you so kindly hold onto my hand?
You don’t have to forever, just hold me for now.
Let’s feel however much our hearts will allow.

As it says in my tagline: I'm just a writer writing about love because that's what all the cool kids are falling into these days. However, the type of love I write about is based more on the likeliness of modern day heartbreak. I originally started this blog as an outlet for therapy. I believe writing soothes the mind and allows us to express our feelings, which is exactly what I do here -- but in the form of poetry and spoken word pieces. I began writing in 2016 and I like to think the content I put out is relatable and hard-hitting since there's nothing new under the sun. You'll come to find I struggle a lot but without struggles, there is no growth, and believe me, I am growing.
Slowly, I am working towards publishing my own works. Gallimaufry (one of the categories here on my blog) is one of them. I'm also in the process of writing, "war & peace", "where two hearts unify as one", & "i sold my heart to buy yours".
Until then, feel free to linger around and read a few of my pieces; if you like what you see, be sure to hit the follow button at the bottom of my page to keep up with my posts and like & comment as you wish!
Other than that, thank you for reading my About Me page!
I'll be seeing you,
B.K. Laurel
