Road Trip

Folder: 
2024

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.

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.
