careless — FKA twigs ft. daniel caesar

dimanche

the silliest thoughts

dance around in my head

for so many words

have been unsaid

to be liberated

to not be wed

the distances

that i’ve been led

 

my appetite

surges

my appetite

is enough for two

i need a person

mon coeur 

est bleu

 

pulse is flat

love me back.

 

trop de douleur

trop d’amour

legs are spread

i want more

 

play pretend

hidden places

finger traces

panic paces

let’s set sail

this fantasy

more than free

get lost with me

 

for the moment

pour le jour

major distress

mon amour,

we’ll repress

 

point of view shifting

i’m clearing space

watching you steer

please

let us find a comfortable place

 

detestable emptiness

hide and seek

endless

endless

pourings

won’t be meek

 

you’re invading me

you’re evading me

won’t apologize

you’re maintaining me

 

i’m burying my feelings in you

push

unloading on you

push

only afterwards 

understanding

what it could do to you

ici

 

things i can’t help

realizing my selfishness

 

pretending.

will unbending

eternally yours

optimism upending

 

somehow questioning if you’re there

sometimes reminded that you are

 

bare necessities

thursday

broken camera

can’t find the words for you

i’ll be avoiding mirrors

temptation moves in twos

a consolation prize

to have in lieu

come one

come all

pass judgment on a refracted view.

 

Speechless — Beyoncé

 

NaCl

 

monday

 

sweeter words

my god

have never been spoken

you’re laying me down

melted marshmallows

fire poking

some far-off space

unabashed

doting

 

moves were met, and,

well, there’s no more hoping

if tucked away,

it’ll never be broken

 

gently.

minding manners

attention

evoking

 

il y a

so many places

finger traces

un coeur races

now the curtain clings

the gifts you bring

the careless whispers

so many things

 

Egyptian

eternal lips

eternal slips

egyptian love

egyptian bliss

 

au that sweet tongue

the bell has rung

empty suitcase

making memories

we’ve just begun

Always Will — Tweet

 

the marshes

 

Saturday

 

can you fill me,

make me forget

for a moment

the mistakes upon mistakes

i’m forced to 

cope with?

dungeons and demons

troublesome twos

eyes eternally clear

believe in me

there’s better somewhere.

i’ve seen a place

not far from here

where whispers’re silenced

and doubts

for a moment

are impaired.

though daggers fly

from apparitions’ stares,

a moment’s peace

might stop your tears.

built from strength

four hundred eighty-nine

wears.

let’s run away

leave wind our fears

A Dream — Mary J. Blige

 

au

 

Sunday

 

what would it take

to escape this place?

feet pinned down

amidst sinking ground

 

brighter days

are too far away

 

Can’t move a mountain.

drying, colored fountains

 

flesh just won’t

cooperate

 

take and take and

take and take

 

lips are bound

sealed your fate

 

a little dusty, 

give it a shake.

The Nearness of You — Ruben Studdard

 

red velvet

 

Friday

 

in an hour’s time

perhaps two

pour un mari

soon

is he you?

 

my whole essence

approaching presence

night on the town

blustery

manteau

 

— quelle direction?

— pour deux.

avion?

— pour vous.

 

table set

lights dim

menu complet.

memory

light winds

 

un instant

for recognition

for he

who is in another’s place

 

— hemlock

— hemlock

for now red

forbidden fruits

 

we’re catching up

light conversation

— leave room

fleeting thoughts

hazy view

 

page two

 

lane switches

northbound

blood coursing

inundated

 

feeling free

inebriated

third exit

rendezvous

running through

 

appearance kept

for feet swept

liquid courage

piercing you.

 

no more withholding

sudden urges

passion surging

hidden passage

feet turning

 

your inhibitions

your admissions

open palms

risky business

no qualms

 

the room’s spinning

you grinning

fill a void

future hinting

no misgivings
