what the hell am i?

a colorful mess of sin and shame

the colors make me feel alright

red is the shade of power and strength

orange light gleams creativity and art

yellow is the tone of excitement and joy

green shimmers liveliness and health

blue is the hue of intelligence and serenity

violet can glow kindness and loyalty

i am a rainbow :D

i wrote this a bit about pride in my sexuality. it's mainly how i can finally feel comfort in it, instead of distress.

letters and exchanged numbers

letters and exchanged numbers

folded so carefully

they're hidden but there as anyone could envision

she has never felt more nervous

yet at ease

and she doesn't talk to him much

but she can see the walls are up

what will it take for her to let him in?

or him to let her?

i was getting to know the boy i love through annoynomous letters. it was so nervewracking but also exhillerating.

starlight

the black sky is speckled with stars that glow

the full moon sheds a dim light on the scene

the night seems alone, but you and i both know

your eyes shine and you smell of coffee bean

the constellations spell out both of us

my small hand is intertwined with yours

you are finally someone i can trust

you have managed to open up my doors

the relieved feeling of trusting someone. also stars!

Sacred Teardrops

Sister, there is no need
To push aside your pain.
Embrace it, for flowers
Cannot grow without rain.

lullaby

lullaby

You are the lullaby,
That sings me to sleep each night.

You are the lullaby,
I hum after every fight.

You are the lullaby,
That stays strong,

You are the lullaby,
No one can do you wrong.

You are the lullaby,
That stands…not falls

You are the lullaby,
That stands and stands tall.

You are the lullaby,
Putting me to sleep,

You are the lullaby,
That inspired me to leap.

You are the lullaby,
I sang to my kids.

You are the lullaby,
I sang to my grandkids.

You are the lullaby,
Soft but strong,

You are the lullaby,
You are my song.

Dance Me To The End Of Love

Apr 2020 Max

Leonard Cohen

Dance Me To The End Of Love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

— The End —
