i started wearing it again
your ring
your love
and it still felt as natural
as the day you gave it to me
your ring
your love
i miss it now
i miss you now
your love
your ring
do you miss it too?

star glazed mountains
whisper in the dark
tell me all your secrets
guide me down this path
star glazed mountains
whisper in my ear
do not stop looking
the light you seek is near
idea came to me while brushing my teeth ****

do you think the stars ever gaze down on us with a look of admiration?
that despite everything we've done
everything we've been through
we're still here
gazing back up upon them
just like we did before
it's comforting

“You really don’t have to do that”
oh but i do

is just about you

what does creativity
mean?
is it pulling words
out of the air
and forming them
into rhyming pairs
or is it taking
what's inside my mind
and carefully placing it
for the world
to see?
do i write or do the poems define me?

let me love you
like the moon loves the sun:
addicting
like the rain loves the clouds:
fitting
like the light loves the darkness:
contradicting
let me love you
in the light of the moon
and when the sun shines bright
let me love you
when it’s raining
and there are clouds in the sky
let me love you
in all your goodness
and the darkness too
let me love you
like i love you

We were alone
till Death made us part
of each other
Death came for us
too soon
and yet,
won’t bother
leaving us alone

So we are running
for a chance
to stay

Now Death may come for us
but it was worth it from the start.
Because we won’t be alone
till Death do us part
inspired by Edwin & Charles from Dead Boy Detectives (Netflix)

and now i am Atlas
shouldering the weight of the past
all on my own

I know who i am
i know myself
i want to shout
i want to scream
i am myself

how can i make
you see
how can i make
you realise
how can i prove
myself
to you

i don’t want much
i don’t mean harm
i just want to be seen
by you
as the person i am
and always have been
yes, this is about being queer

I want to let go
let go
of this heaviness
that’s dragging down
my heart
heavy with sorrow

I want to let go
let go
of this tragedy
that’s filling
my heart
brimming with grief

I want to be
be free
of insecurities
that aren’t my own
for my heart to beam
with love
instead

I can hear
hearts beating
and souls whisper
but I can't bear
to hear
your name
spoken out loud.
Because you are
what my soul whispers
and my heart beats for
old love

one act of kindness
a smile
a wave back
enough
to make an impression
and a promise
that kindness
still exists
i just wanna see people smile more

living.
it's an act
of rebellion
don't give up

It's winter again
ice cold
frosting
freezing hands
my lips are blue

It's winter again
ice cold
frosting
freezing heart
my lips are numb
and so am I

It's winter again
inside and out

It's winter again
It's winter again
