Under a cloudy sky, lost in the trees, sleeping in a field of clovers.

Canadian. Poet. #Illhueminati. Let us return to a time when simple colours spoke beautiful words.

Hello. My name is Oakflesh.

I started this account because I miss the old hue accounts of Twitter and the poetry they inspired. So, here I am, and here you are.

sometimes
I think I stare off into the distance
Dreaming of someday
Because I’m too scared
Of letting myself enjoy today

the longing in my bones
grows as short as winter days
never quite gone
but sometimes less
like the end of the year
and when you are near

it is in longing
that we find
how close we
really are

i crave for a touch
that my body
does not know

sometimes i wonder
if i'll ever be good enough
to be desired in the fullness
of someone else's love

what is my worth
if it is not
the love you give me

perhaps my biggest fear
is that when i am gone.
you will not look for me
in the quiet of the house
at night; you will not call
for me as you stir awake.
you will flip your pillow
and go back to sleep

along parallel lines
always wanting
and never able

my soul yearns
for things it cannot comprehend
like tides to the moon
it wants all that it cannot have

wake me up when
the frost has claimed
all else that remains

i keep cutting myself apart
rearranging the pieces
but never happy with
the jigsaw's image

maybe the rain
will cleanse me
of all misdeeds
or it will drown me
but in either case
it will set me free

i’m sure i’ll be better
someday

and i will become better
than the things
that try to destroy me

i miss playing under dull skies
until the artificial sunlights
flooded our streets orange
and my mother yelled
that supper was ready
it was simpler then, fuller

sometimes i worry
that all the love i thought
i felt for anybody
was based on make believe
like i've never felt true love
like i'm still waiting for
lightning to strike
and send those fireworks
through my bones

i am losing myself
caught between
everything i am
and everything
i a m n o t

like magma in the crust
there is a deep sadness
sitting in the core of me
and it burns me entirely

oh god
kiss me like you used to

make me
remember how it felt

to be
so much more than myself

time and time again
i find myself here
where air is clear
and i have no fear

“You make me feel like a person.
Like I'm me... and I'm beautiful.”

“You are beautiful. You're the
most beautiful girl in the world.”

“do you think you’re enough?”

is anyone
ever?

i will lie in the mud
until the moss wraps
me up like a blanket
on cold autumn eves
with a pillow made
of twigs and leaves

i will die come morn
but here is where i live

i’m not broken
my pieces are just

tendrils above, a willow
my back sopped in mud

it reminds me of home

of sleeping in on sunday
and then
my mother yelling from
downstairs
