Expressions of Love

Love poems from your favorite degenerate water sign duo, aarkive & substance.

Death is a sweet kiss

Cupid’s arrow never misses
It’s not if, but when
Death is a sweet kiss 
upon your lips

Like cigarettes in bed 
after sex
The one who got away
is the one who stays,
eventually

Life is constantly changing
The end remains the same

Death is a sweet kiss
Bitten with your name

Boundless

a dancing spirit 
a loving soul
i am whole & holy

the divine feminine 
mystic & masculine
there is something
so pure about needing
nothing but the simple
joy in being here & now

daydreaming & losing
sleep over the things my
heart can’t bear to keep
all for itself. i share my gifts
with the world to make
u feel less alone. listen
to the music and feel yourself
get lost in the expression
of the soul. finding home 
in feelings, ideas & people

stretch ur sensibility 
beyond limits 
love knows no 
boundaries

forever

Forever and ever until the last body drops.
Forever and ever until the last leaf falls.
Forever and ever until the last drop dries.


That’s how long I’ll love you.
Until we cease to exist.
Until the matrix is unplugged and even maybe after,
I will continue to love you.


My love may wane, it may need space.
My love might have dips, and bumps, and obstacles.
My love might fuel my anger,
but until my last breathe and maybe even after,


I will love you.
Forever and ever until…

fragile

The fragility of ‘I love you’ stops me from saying it.
Knowing that you can go back on those words scares me.
The weight of the words is too much for me to withstand.
I’d rather not say them.
I’d rather protect myself.
I’d rather long for you than love you.

If I were to love you then I’m in danger.
If I were to love you, I would lose myself.
If I were to love you, there’s no guarantee
that you would love me back.

As fragile of a phrase that is,
I’m not strong enough to say it.
I’m not responsible enough to handle
the consequences of 143.
As much as I do feel it, as much as I fight it,
as much as I hate it,
I know there’s no stopping it.
As much as I hurt, as much as it will hurt,
as much as it will continue to hurt,
I struggle to whisper those words…

… iloveyou.
