I have NO IDEA how much poetry is actually on bandcamp, but I found the guy on youtube and went searching for words (because I love the rhythms and cadence of slam poetry, but occasionally it's hard to follow it without words in front of me?) and found his bandcamp and went YES YES YES EXCELLENT, so... yeah. XD I think one of the groups that do showcases had a bandcamp too but I can't remember what the name is.

Prompts! Feel free to use as many/as few as you want, combine them, do whatever you want with them basically, I have hundred built up from years and years of collection and I LOVE sharing them.

I promise, that I will love you as if it’s the only thing that I’ve ever done correctly.

When you are born
during an argument,
you spend the rest of your life
feeling like an interruption.

She walks into my room like a question that neither one of us has the courage to ask.

Sorry I came out hard and sharp and full of claws. Ruined your body. Only learned the wrong things.

I love you, simple.
I like that we will never be we.

It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes; it takes more grit to forgive them for having witnessed your own.

the sea’s behaving abominably,
seems never satisfied,
what it throws away it dashes down
then wants back, yanks back.

Our love came
unannounced in the middle of the night.
Our love came when we’d given up
on asking love to come. I think
that has to be part
of its miracle.

You think you know me, that's your trouble
Never fall in love with a body double

There’s blood in my hands
for fight and blood in my legs
for flight and nowhere
a sign.

So you are a city that walks on top of another city, a city of people dreaming, you put your foot down on dreams when you cross the street, your children play, on dreams.
