relationship

Okazja

THE NIGHT CAME FAST QUICK QUICK TO ME, 

 

I SEE HER NOW LOOK LOOK IT'S HER.

 

THE AIR WAS COLD CRISP CRISP THE FEEL,

 

THE MEMORY THINK THINK  MY MIND,

 

MISTAKES I MADE SHAME SHAME ON ME.

 

I SHOULD HAVE MOVED  WALK WALK TO HER! 

 

I FROZE IN TIME TICK TICK TOO LONG.

 

IT SITS WITH ME MAD MAD AM I,

 

ANOTHER CHANCE PLEASE PLEASE I ASK? 

 

TIME GONE FOREWARN CRY CRY DO I. 

 

I TELL MY TALE SPEAK SPEAK TO YOU. 

 

DON'T LET THE CHANCE FLEE FLEE I BEG. 

 

FOR ONLY ONE CHANCE CHANCE DO TAKE!

 

BE NOT LIKE ME HURT HURT I BE.

 

TAKE NOW THE CHANCE GLEE GLEE TO BE!! 

 
Author's Notes/Comments: 

DID YOU EVER MISS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU WISH YOU COULD HAVE BACK? I AM SURE WE HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED THIS AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. THIS POEN IS AN ANALAGY FOR SUCH A CASE. i CAN PLAY THINGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN MY HEAD AND THINK ABOUT WHAT I WOULD CHANGE BUT IN THE END, I WOULD NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. EVEN THOUGH WE MAY THINK WE MISSED A FEW OPPORTUNITIES SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LOOK AROUND AND SEE HOW MANY GOOD OPPORTUNITIES YOU REALLY TOOK AND DONT THINK ABOUT. STOP AND THINK ABOUT THE ONES YOU TOOK AND REVEL IN YOUR SUCCESS AND CHOICES.

spill me over

pretty little teacups

in a love poem

 

seeing us upright

we have finally

found our seats–

 

well maybe not

all the marks yet.

some seatbelts wrangling

still to come,

luggage missing but

my dear–

here is everything we need,

everything we are

 

i have always used poetry

to redefine tragedy

but in these teacups

maybe that’s not all it needs to be

 

have a steering wheel

a careful tetris of all our shoes

empire state picnic baskets

the goneness of some sort of fragility

 

here we are

with your green jacket

(I swear if you ever leave that behind somewhere

I will parachute down to get it)

sticky notes & pages I will fill you into

 

here we are

& all we need now

is a destination

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.

Exiled

You think I'm the one who gave up on us

But have you looked in the mirror lately?

Your reflection is faded like a ghost

Your eyes are black and your soul is empty

And you swear you're not the one

And that this argument is done

And you think I'm on the run

When, in fact, I'm fucking done with you

I'm gonna make it through

The hell you put me through

I'm gonna bury you

 

I am done

 

You think you're the one who's gonna save us

But you can't save yourself from imploding

You're swimming around in your own disgust

Your narcissistic ways are showing

And you swear you're not the one

And that this argument is done

And you think I'm on the run

When, in fact, I'm fucking done with you

I'm gonna make it through 

The hell you put me through 

I'm gonna bury you

 

I am done

 

Erase me

I'll erase you too

Replace me

Now I know we're through

 

You think you're the one who's gonna save us, but you can't save yourself

 

I'm fucking done with you

I'm gonna make it through

The hell you put me through 

I'm gonna bury you 

 

We are done

Over You

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is the first song in book 2 (kindle direct publishing) that I self published on amazon kdp service about finding true love in a cruel world/society that degrades relationships to just having a good time.
