If You Were a Poem
By Astrum
If you were a poem,
I would read you in whispers under candlelight,
tracing every syllable like a secret I was never meant to know.
Your laughter would be italicized,
soft and leaning into the edges of midnight.
Your sorrows?
Those would be bold —
unafraid, unapologetically beautiful.
I would fold you into the corners of my journals,
tuck you beneath my breath,
and let no one but the moon know
how deeply I have memorized your lines.
You are the poem I never dared to write,
and yet somehow,
I’ve been reading you all my life.
I don’t want a home.
I want a heartbeat
that beats louder when it feels me near.

"i’d memorize you in ways you forgot you existed" by Astrum
i wouldn’t ask for permission to admire you — i’d just do it. quietly. thoroughly. like i was built to notice you and no one else.
i’d memorize the way your breath hitches when you’re almost smiling, the exact second your eyes soften when you let your guard down, and the curve of your lips when you almost say what you’re scared to feel.
i’d learn you like my favorite song — not rushed, but looped forever. until every sigh, every glance, every unspoken ache was part of my heartbeat.
and when you forget how rare you are, i’d whisper it against your neck, press it into your skin, etch it into your bones — until you remembered that being wanted never had to hurt.
I don’t want a home.
I want a heartbeat
that beats louder when it feels me near.

“I see the way you carry pain in your silence, and strength in your softness. You don’t need to be loud to be powerful. Your emotions are not ‘too much’ — they’re poetry in motion.” By----- Astrum
"i’d undress your mind first"
by Astrum.
i wouldn’t rush you.
i’d start slow —
trace the curve of your thoughts
long before i ever touched your skin.
i’d ask how you sleep when it rains,
what keeps you awake when it’s silent,
and where you ache when no one’s looking.
i’d want to know
the shape of your sigh,
the weight of your dreams,
the taste of your laugh
in the dark.
when you’d trust me enough,
i’d kiss your scars with my words,
bite your insecurities softly
between conversations,
and hold your secrets
like they were silk on my tongue.
and maybe,
if your eyes begged for it,
i’d undress you slow too.
but i promise —
your mind would be bare
long before your body ever was.
“why do you have a gap in your resume” idk why is there a gap in your staff. worry about that
HI ! I'm Astrum, 41 Aries, and I go by he/him pronouns. I like all things art/culture: music, film, painting, poetry, fashion, literature, so feel free to ask about anything of the sorts, I'd love the chat!! I listen to all kinds of music mostly jazz, folk, classic rock, or anything pre-2010s so feel free to ask about anything like that i LOVE the beatless, like seriously it's insane! I enjoy writing letters, notes, poems, as I believe everything is poetry if it comes from the soul I love hiking/camping, long drives, Parties, and other outdoor activities as well I enjoy reading fantasy and romantic fantasy books. My favorite book that I've read recently was The Cruel Prince by Holly Black. My favorite trope is enemies to lovers (I like the idea of someone seeing all my flaws first and still managing to fall in love with me. I also just love the banter between the enemies). My favorite colors are wight, wine red, blue, black, olive, I like all types of wines. I want friends, you are my lifeline, and I do have a lot of things that I enjoy.
I wish I could run to you and cry.
You don't have to say anything. You don't have to tell me it's going to be alright. Just be there. Just sit with me and let me cry. Just your presence is enough. I am just so tired. I am tired and hurt and I want everything to end.
But I know I can't. I know I can't and that hurts more.
It was kind of a dick move to create animals that require air, then confine them to the freaking ocean
