Make Believe

Let me pretend. 

 

That summer days waft in your cologne. 

Walks in sunshine break through the mold

Of monotony that aches and looms. 

 

Let me pretend. 

 

That the quiet speaks so loudly of you. 

And raindrops beat to your heart when I’m sprawled across your heart. 

And the earth feels new. 


Let me pretend. 


The joy rides in downtown boom 

like speakers on loud and laughter becomes the orchestra of our song

 

Let me pretend. 

 

I know how your hand feels and folds. 

The ways your smile can envelope and look sideways in the early morn. 

 

Let’s just pretend. 


I could be meant for you. 

And our worlds could collide like sparks on 4th of July

And joy laced the feeling of two unions being so perfect and right. 

 

Let’s just pretend. 

 

This moment could be anything but make believe.  
Where fairytales aren’t make believe.
And this feeling could be true. 

 

Just let me live here in the pretend. 

So today won’t end.
And I could just be with you.

Love

The first day I saw you,

I caught you looking,

Undressing me with your eyes,

You smirked and looked away,

You may as well have clawed me,

Tore me apart in the open,

Your eyes so dark theyre almost black,

Lips that look swollen from kissing,

Your touch is like electricity on my skin,

The closer we got,

The more scared I got,

I hadnt felt this way in a long time,

Your fingers on my skin,

Sent shivers rippling across it,

The promise of a kiss,

Never quite making it,

The side eye you always give,

You have the perfect come to bed eyes,

I felt your claws pierce my flesh,

Sliding them through my ribs,

Tearing out my heart,

There were no pictures,

No physical contact,

We both felt the pull,

Like magnets attracting each other,

I wanted to tear you apart,

I still do,

My heart aches where you pierced it,

I fell hard on to the concrete,

I couldnt breathe,

I felt you breathe on my neck,

Your lips a hair from mine,

Hands desperate to touch,

I tasted your cheek,

The salt from your tears,

Staining your face,

I held you close and comforted you,

You pierced my heart again,

Im still chasing that kiss,

Chasing your touch,

Forever.

Promise Me

You know I love you

You know I'd do anything for you

You know I'll shield you

From the daggers that they threw at you

 

When I'm gone I know you'll carry on

When I leave, promise me you'll be strong

 

And don't give in to the whispering wind

Which will only be the sweet temptation 

Of me calling out for you to be with me

So promise me you'll be strong after I'm gone

Just promise me please 

 

I know you love me

I know you're the only one for me

I know you saved me

From myself and from my misery

 

When I’m gone I know you'll carry on

When I leave, promise me you'll be strong

 

And don't give in to the whispering wind

Which will only be the sweet temptation 

Of me calling out for you to be with me

So promise me you'll be strong after I'm gone

Just promise me please 

 

You know I love you

 

So don't give in to the whispering wind

Which will only be the sweet temptation 

Of me calling out for you to come join me

So promise me (promise me) you'll be strong after I'm gone

Just promise me

Please promise me

Fragile Echoes

Folder: 
Other Poems

Whispers in the dark, a slow decay,
Breathless nights, the light fades away,
In the mirror, I see a ghost,
A shadow of the girl I used to know.

 

Blood runs cold, time slows to crawl,
A rhythm lost, in the silence of it all,
In my chest, a fragile beat,
Counting moments till we meet.

 

And I, I feel it slipping,
Life's grip is loosening,
Heart's a fragile echo,
Fading slow, fading slow.

 

Lonely nights, the stars seem far,
Hoping for a sign, a distant star,
But the weight, it drags me down,
In the deep end, I drown.

 

Fighting hard, but it's a losing game,
Every breath a whisper of pain,
In my veins, a river dry,
Wishing only to survive.

 

And I, I feel it slipping,
Life's grip is loosening,
Heart's a fragile echo,
Fading slow, fading slow.

 

If I could turn back time,
I'd take it all, make it mine,
But the past is set in stone,
And I'm left here alone.

 

Final verse, the story's told,
A heart too weak, a soul grown old,
In the silence, I make my peace,
With the echoes that never cease.

 

And I, I feel it slipping,
Life's grip is loosening,
Heart's a fragile echo,
Fading slow, fading slow.

 

In the end, we all must go,
But in the echoes, we'll still flow,
A fragile beat, a final breath,
In the quiet, I find my rest.

Astral, Aquatic, Arboreal: A Queer Love Triptych

Folder: 
Poems

Celestial Serenade

 

Silken skies, where starlings soar,

Zephyr's zest, we both adore.

Sapphire seas and sibilant shores,

Our love, like light, through cosmos pours.

 

Artemis’ arrows aim prestigious, 

Safely we dance under a moonlit aegis.
Entwined, we dream of Sappho's isle,

Our hearts aligned, mile after mile.

 

Earthen embrace, we root and grow,

Gaia's gifts, on us bestow.

Verdant vines and velvet moss,

Our bond, unbroken, knows no loss.

 

Eternal Echoes

 

Whispered wishes in the wind,

Two souls, genderless, have twinned.

Celestial bodies, we revolve,

Our love's enigma we'll resolve.

 

Neptune's nymphs sing siren songs,

To depths where our passion belongs.

Poseidon's realm, a vast expanse,

Where our love story finds romance.

 

Persephone's pomegranate seeds,

Bind us like eternal deeds.

Through seasons' change, we persevere,

Our love grows stronger year by year.

 

Infinite Iridescence


From Elysian fields to Avalon's mist,

Our lips, like petals, gently kissed.

In this cosmic dance, we twirl and spin,

Two hearts, two bodies, joined within.

 

Forever more, our love will soar,

Beyond the sky, beyond the shore.

In life, in death, in joy, in strife,

We'll love each other, beyond this life.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

With International Non-Binary Day being celebrated this weekend (though it is technically the following week), I though I should prepare something different from my usual poetry.

I have edited this poem as someone mentioned they "baulked" at the tautology used in one of the couplets. To be fair
, I wrote this at around 2 AM this morning in an insomnia-induced session of hyperfocus.

Death cap's pale allure


Whispers promises, then chokes


Amanita's kiss

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Mushrooms may be beautiful and taste delicious, but for me, sadly, it's all about the anaphylaxis.


There is a secret message, hiding in plain sigh? Can you decipher it?

Squishy Bear

I can't begin to

Even describe

How you make me

Feel

All I can

Truly say

I'm beyond

Happy

I feel so giddy

With happiness 

I feel as if

I'm on cloud 

Nine

I love how

You make me 

Smile 

Laugh

And enjoy my

Self

I haven't felt

The good being

With someone  in a

Very long

Time

I know I'm

Crazy

I know I have

My moments

For sure

But I can

Truly tell you

When I love

Someone

I give my all

I wear my heart

On my sleeve

I hope to feel

This way forever

With you

I love the

Strength,

Love

And 

Affection

You give me

I don't know

What I would 

Do without 

You

In my life

But from the

Bottom of my

Heart

I can honestly

Truly

Tell you

I love you

Midnight Goddess

Folder: 
New Lyrics

 

Hey beautiful,

Come on over, let me get a good look at you

Let's get closer, tell me you want me inside you

 

You sweet angel,

Come down my way, let me be mesmerized by you

Call out my name, tell me the things you want me to do to you

 

-And I don't know how you do all the things that keep me chasing you

And all I know is that there's nothing in this world that I won't do

for you

My midnight goddess- (chorus)

 

Hey delightful,

Lay down with me, so I can feel your skin on mine

Crash into me, so we can become intertwined 

 

Lovely angel,

You're in my dreams, I can't get you out of my mind

Come back to me, don't leave me here all alone tonight, I'll die

 

And I don't know how you do all the things that keep me chasing you

And all I know is that there's nothing in this world that I won't do

for you

My midnight goddess

 

Oh my God you are so divine

I get drunk from you every night

You taste like strawberries and wine

Could you refill my cup this time?

 

And I don't know how you do all the things that keep me chasing you

And all I know is that there's nothing in this world that I won't do 

No, there's nothing in this world that I won't do for you

My midnight goddess
