LA is Burning

 LA is burning,

And this is just the start-

The embers dance on homes of migrants and the stars.

The sky is coated in smoke, thicker than the city smog, and the whole world sits back watching as they change their fucking vape pods.

LA is burning,

When will we start to see? 

The notice has been there, it was written in the sea-

The moon tried to warn us, but we prefer ignorance, then wonder why buildings crumble and memories go amiss. 

LA is burning,

I can hear the palm trees scream, 

I see the tears of Palisades as ashes coat the streets-

America sends "thoughts and prayers" as they do in tragedies, 

While inmates and other countries, fight to clear the scene.

LA is burning, 

It sounds like a cringe pop song,

I can almost hear the chorus, as animals run alarmed-

It's dark and it is haunting, lingering in the air,

And while some are fighting fires, others light the brittle flairs.

LA is burning,

I watch friends lose their homes- some strangers lose their photo albums, and their newborn baby's clothes.

My heart aches deeply, as with each disaster pings. I watch their children's art get sucked up by the violent flames.

LA is burning,

 But you sit and watch TV,

You shove pizza down your throat, and binge Reality. 

But reality is here, and we refuse to face, 

The havoc that it's wreaking, since it's not our own safe place. 

LA is really burning,

Our lesson never learned, so guess we'll have to sit back,  and watch another city burn. 

So grab your pop and popcorn, for this time it's not bombs, it's fires without water, and shitty church like Psalms.

Small Things

I'll embrace the universe gently waking me at 4am, so I can say "Good morning" to your pure soul. 

I'll gladly take the 6am video calls, with my room still dark, and my hair a mess - so I can feast my eyes on your beautiful face as you make me laugh before I even get out of bed.

As I fall back to sleep, I'll find comfort in the memories we've begun to make- and the excitement of the ones we've yet to create.

Since your voice has been resounding in my head, there hasn't been a day where I've lost my smile. It's like you meticulously and effortlessly ensure it's there- it comes naturally to you.

Can we dance in my kitchen to the sound of our own music - Will you show me, slowly, how our bodies can feed off of one another? Kiss me hard as I get caught up in the moment.

Let me make your coffee with love and intent, sprinkling bits of my heart on top for you to savor- explore the various flavors.

Allow me to pass by with simple touches, gracing my fingers along your spine as I playfully tease your mind. I want to linger in your thoughts as long as you'll let me. 

It's the small things, that get me-

I'll unravel at your feet in you let me.

Fiend

Breathing you in like Indica,

Swirling around my mind-

Leaving my body feeling the highest, of highs

Floating on these purple clouds,

Cloud Nine- far from coming down,

Coughing as you fill my lungs- with each gasp of pleasure I take

Never knew I could get this drunk,

On just one touch - 

Red lips, like red wine- smeared on both of us.

I'm on my knees, begging "Please"- let me just take a hit,

Your drug is the ultimate bliss.

I need more of it.

You see me raw, and down me like a shot of whiskey neat, when I say "No"

Yet, pop me like a bottle of champagne, when I say "Go"

Curb my cravings with a tease of absinthe and licorice, 

Just to bring me to the very edge of all of it-

I'd be willing to jump, just to feel the rush.

As Easy As Breathing

I am still drenched in the essence of you,

The essence of us.

From the moment we locked eyes, the world around me melted. 

Time froze as I took in your energy.

It came as easy as breathing.

It's like I stepped into your aura and was enveloped in the tastiest dream I've had yet.

The ease of the eb and flow had me speechless at first, but I soon found words overflowing in abundance.

You took my hand and ripped open my world in the most nurturing way- 

I blindly handed you my trust, trusting my soul's intuition entirely, for once. 

You took it gently, examined it, admired it, and played with it delicately.

I went from wanting you, to craving you with a simple kiss. 

Our time together, though short, was as intense as the beautiful summer monsoon. Fast, passionate, fierce and refreshing - quenching every corner of my soul that was longing for a taste of yours.

I feel like this rain, will breathe a new journey into our lives. The seeds are now watered, will you sit and watch them grow with me?

Devour me each moment your body, mind and soul long to- you have my full permission. Show the stars and the moon how you truly see them; in my flesh and in my eyes.

Let me get lost and cascade down your lips as you discover the deeper parts of me. Let me pull you close and grip those hips- Catch each gasp and moan that tumbles from my mouth, with yours.

Let me hold you and play with your hair until you fall asleep in my arms, because we both know I'm not one for drifting deep.

Who are you?

Where did you come from? 

Your energy is magical and mystical- 

Ancient and pure,

Powerful and gentle.

I see the absolute radiance of your soul, so fucking clearly, that I catch myself mesmerized... in pure awe.

The universe has placed you in my path, right here, right now- and I am listening. I am receiving.

I am welcoming this journey with a heart eager for exploration - 

Take my hand.

Word Vomit

 As I lay here treating a mild headache and sore throat, I can't help but have to get out the bullshit, before I write you something beautiful. 

You deserve all of the beautiful words that express all of my beautiful feelings, but there is a minor anxiety standing in the way. 

So let me oust it with some free write, and get back to the essence of you... the essence of us. 

Just don't do it... please. 

I know it's not my place, but I can see what could be and baby it is cosmic. 

Let's let go of our anchors and sail freely.

With love,

-Gabriella

Tangible

 She hasn't touched me,

She doesn't need to-

Her energy has caressed and held me in ways that gave my body chills.

It's one I can feel from the other side of the world,

Magnetic and comforting. 

Her words travel through time and space, cutting through distance with ease and grace.

How she puts a smile on my face, makes me long for a taste, even more.

Gently holding me, while commanding my attention- a balance that makes me weak in the knees.

I whisper "Yes, please" as I gaze up at the Milky Way. 

Minutes pass faster than expected, making days shorter.

Anticipation grows like wildflowers after a summer rain, beautifully reaching for the warmth of the sun.

Arms outstretched,  and ready for embrace.

But for now, I'll take the orgasms of the mind, which trickle down my body, a nearly tangible feeling. 

Nearly as tangible as You.

Pull

 There is something about you that is magnetic,

I feel this indescribable pull towards your soul. 

A soul so beautiful, so deep, so pure.

A soul that has been on a long journey, yet is still open to new feelings and experiences.

A soul that brings laughter and light to other's darkness.

Simply put, a radiant soul.

There is something beautifully familiar about you, but I can't quite put my finger on it. 

It's like maybe our souls have done this dance before.

Everything feels rhythmic, flowing in a state of consciousness that only we can understand;

A language that has no words, no sounds, no touch... just energy. 

This magnetic pull is one that I refuse to ignore,

The full body chills, the sense of overwhelming peace- my mind is at ease.

I have never felt such peace before.

I feel lighter, my smile feels brighter, and my body is in a constant state of song and dance. 

It is exhilarating bliss; A "high," if you will.

I soak it in promising myself to cherish every moment regardless of the outcome. 

Something so organically engaging, mustn't be taken for granted.

I feel like I am flirting with the stars in the dark night sky - far away, yet I see them so clearly.

The tug of the moon draws the ocean's waves toward them... teasing them from the Earth's surface.

Let's show the stars and the ocean what it's like to actually meet. 

What it would feel like for their lips to finally touch,

How their embrace could shake the universe to its core.
