a happy poem

~ B.K Laurel

and i think
im not much of a writer when im happy
because although i could write about
how your complexion glistens in the moonlight
or how your eyes say i love you without words
or when your lips coat mine, i get a sugar rush of sweetness

i think
theres a certain beauty to the silence of it all
where looking at you is all i need to be at peace
where your smile feeds my poetry addiction
and your laugh is my favorite free verse
but when your touch tazes my soul and all i feel is you

i dont speak, i let it happen

but im a horrible writer when im happy

im cheesy and clingy and overuse the word always and wonder about forever and speak all things cliche and overdose on run-on sentences and SPONTANEOUSLY CAPITALIZE TEXT SPEECH and wonder if you miss me and wonder if you love me and wonder if im your always and always not always but all ways

because i love you, all ways

im not great at telling love stories with sunsets and happy endings

because the truth is, i dont know what one looks like

but if you let me be your canvas
i’d happily let you show me

paint my skin and kiss me until your mouth runs dry

just you and i

wondering if forever truly does
exist

i wonder, do you?

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
