Faces flushed,
skin-on-skin contact and
frantic kisses in the
sloppy night.

Bits and pieces all
wrapped up in
(un)poetic lips, burning
hotter than the sun.

"I don't give a
damn. I never want this
to stop. Oh, god, please,
this can't stop."

No care for the dimming of
the stars or the
moans that could wake
the dead.

An intake of breath;
exhaling and eyes fluttering
open, pulse racing and
body shivering.

Misery settling on quivering
lips like a pandemic gliding
on blackened butterfly wings—
it was all just in her head.
Carpe diem: seize the day. Can also be used to describe someone with no care for the future.

Something I wrote a really long time ago. I haven't been in the writing mood and decided to just post this even though it's dumb.

My dreams, at times, can be extremely shameful and detailed; especially when involving people who don't exist. This was one of them.

Pretty awful to pretend carnal things are poetic. Pretty awful to pretend YOLO is Carpe Diem. Ah, I know I shouldn't be saying this here, but it's that I liked your thing about Paris so much that my disappointment with this one just couldn't be ignored. Don't take it personally.
