i reach up and grab my fairy lights
the suspended wires twisting in my grasp
the warm glow
turning my fingers red
the stolen sunlight in my hands,
i think of her
hair painted by Botticelli
eyes like green waves on that clamshell
i dare not compare her to aphrodite
the goddess' beauty unmatched
but, by the gods,
i fear my own temptation to do so

Nebulas swirl around my head
Like auroras
Like stars
And I am dizzy
Static clouds my imagination
Everything is contracting
Within itself
Yet never implodes
I yearn for that finality
Black holes of my dreams
Mandelas of my eyes
Hopelessness of my heart
I sleep alone

Their hearts beat within my chest
And I
Weep
For I cannot help them
Nor myself
Who will yearn for me
When the universe
The stars
Reside within my own flesh
I lay in a multitude of voids
Comforted by silent noise
And the whispers
They scream at me
The hearts they pound
And leap from my body
Escaping
I release you
Who will weep for me

We are stripped of our flesh
Self-crucifixion demanded
By such a merciful god
Under the loving moonlight
I will weep, and the nebulas shall
Gaze upon my dreadful soul
Not to be forgiven, not to be loved
To devote myself to the planets,
From the cradle I am not my own
Crimson life seeps into the Earth
We can no longer see the stars
Shattered are their promises

My heart resides within pixels
Encaged within a screen
For I refuse to see others
When they cannot see me
I delude myself
Indulge myself
Panels, media, fiction
I ruin myself
Outside, I run
Abandon the colors that enrapture me
See another, face to face
Yet I always return inside

Everything seems worse
When its covered in a grey haze
Even when the spikes of evergreen trees glisten
And the typically dull roads shine
When grey clouds shield the stars and the moon
Only artificial light dares seep through your open window
Along with the clean smell of heavy downpour
It seems as if only you are aware
Perhaps, you think, it will never end
The rain, as if ice, frozen in time
Fog shielding you from the light
Forever prohibited from basking in its beauty and splendor
But then, the noises soften
An experience you never dared hope fore
The generous sun rises once again
Cautiously optimistic, you follow the light
You dare step out the open window
Into the grey haze, into the smell of rain
Lightening and thunder crashes and booms above
But you no longer fear it

Slippery roads twist and bend
Around the forests and the creeks
Blue, red, green
Dark, fluffy hair falls messily
Brown and black flannels frame
Bony hands and chipped nails hold onto swings
Grass-stained jeans rock back and forth
Messy, brave, boisterous
And a jump onto the mulch
Cuts and bruises covered in band-aids
Chunky, oversized jackets
Smooth and deep voices
Masc, masc, masc
Black masks only revealing brown eyes
Playing sports in a thunderstorm
Wrong childhood
Wrong body
Wrong voice
Resulting in this overwhelming Gender Envy

You fell in love with the idea of him
You refuse to leave, although it is grim
How everyone sees the red flag
Yet, about him, you brag
He's not that bad, they will come around
How can you say that with such a sad sound
Perhaps it's the fear of finding no other man
No one else... Although, you can
Or, maybe, I'm simply jealous
Much too overzealous
Because while you fell in love with the idea of him
I might have fallen in love with the idea of you

I dreamt of your smile
So soft and pure
And those brown eyes
Were the only cure
I dreamt of your eyes
Like rivers of chocolate
And your laugh
Snapped me out of it
I dreamt of your laugh
Which filled my ears
I'd like to keep hearing it
For all my years
I dreamt of you
And then I woke up
But none of the dream
Was nearly enough
