May 2022
I have come to accept
The velvety elegant person
That stands before me
The peacefully romantic flower boy
That defies the normalized lifestyle

I don’t fit in with everyone
Because I don’t breathe in the same air as them
I am in unison with an eternally glittery world
Bursting at the seams with seamless perennial dreams
Elegant and delicately perfumed
Ever gentle, magical, and rare

I am a pure extraordinary queer
A stately solid-gold maestro
Charming and the most lovable sweetness
Pervading with boundless insurmountable love
Lost in the ever endless glory
Of sensual charismatic men
Immaculate dopetastic lads
Tal and greatly refined kings

I carry the wondrous magic of men in my veins
I touch my body, and I can feel their
Passionate vessels all over my flesh
They are all that shimmers
Throughout the far-reaching universe
All the striking myriad treasure
That cherish and savor in my heart

I don’t need others to understand
Why I behave as I do
I can’t be what they want of me
I can only be what I embrace from within
And while I understand that on the surface
I may experience alienation from the ones
That can’t comprehend my subliminal self
My incomprehensible identity

I can perceive that they aren’t attune
With who they truly are
If they could look further within themselves
They could see what it means
To freely exist in reality
Without being bound to limitations
That prevent one from expressing
Their distinctiveness

The individuals within the world can’t exist
With a narrow-minded mentality
They must think deeper
Than what is facing them
To see the authenticness beyond the façade

If we are to exist in the universe
We must be able to love one another
Without judgment becoming
The common denominator  
Without having to factor
In myriad equations that create
More diverse and controversial equations
That leaves everyone
At the forefront of a situation
That has no resolution
For a blossoming beginning
