Thinking about you between meetings, Between meals, between showers, Between random scrolling on the internet, Makes me giddy and profoundly safe. Lately may have been hectic, Crowded of thoughts and uncertainties. Thinking about you solely, Does not ease any of it truthfully But choosing you among those things, does. Remembering why we even started How you make me feel enough and heard How I can still picture vividly the first time you kissed me and how it smells In hopes that the feelings and memories won’t be slowly slipping away. Those full infinitives In the future are not what I am after all From then on ‘til now That’s what really matters.

Hi.
The friend we all wanted with a smile we all need, she was funny and loving, just a regular teen. Black dyed hair with platform heels, nobody noticed she was missing meals. A song in her head with a knife in her heart, these rude little kids were tearing her apart. "Too skinny." "Too fat." "Too this." "Too that," This confused little girl was getting kicked to the mat. Teenage life is a struggle alone, but she was being bullied and had problems at home. We spoke up and spoke out, but the school swept it away. A perfect reputation was bound to stay that way.

But the view's fine from here, they say, all carbon copy cloying concern. They don't know that the sun doesn't rise and set quite so exquisitely when your sky is on fire. But the view's from fine here, they maintain, as unsaid words skulk in the throat. They don't notice the skin that burns and crackles and stretches at a breaking point that's been broken for years. But the view's fine from here, they confirm. And then turn away. They don't see what shouldn't be seen, what eyes can't afford to shut even as glass splinters edge closer. And they are right, really, because their view truly is fine from here. #BlackLivesMatter i

The view from here
Its been a long long time I couldn't make a letter, A hand writing letter. I do missed writing, Just like yours before. I really loved reading it, All the letters you gave. I am felt greatful and honored, Because somebody made A letter just for me. Who is caring and loving me All by means, how special I am

A Hand Writing
and tonight, we no longer walk under the dripping yellows of the moonlight — for the moon, it comes in phases. but who i am, and who you are, and who we love do not. and tonight, we are made of half-darkness and half-stars borrowed from the night skies but tomorrow, the colors of the daytime will wash away the relics of this night and darling, we’ll come out like the sun. we’ll come out like the sun.

i’ll waste all my chances at heaven darling — i’ll waste all my chances for the midnights we spent dreaming, stranded inside an old lighthouse as the waves crashed on the shore. i’ll waste my chances for a mouthful kisses, dissolving the gaps between the stars. i’ll waste my chances for a sliver of early morning poems, for sunsets dripping on our skin, for seconds where i can hold your hand — free and unafraid, for minutes where i can be a sinner and you, my capital sin. for hours where i can melt all the world and its hurtful words inside your arms. darling, i’ll waste all my chances at heaven if i can’t love you way past its walls. i’ll waste all my chances at heaven — and i’ll waste them all on you.

If they don’t let me be with you in this universe I’ll pull us into another If they don’t let us be together in life I’ll die for you my lover They don’t decide what we are Or what we get to be They don’t make us Our souls are free They can shutup Leave us alone Let them say what they won’t to say I won’t give u up Whatever they say my love They won’t mess us up

Be my mistake Let everything be at stake Girl, let's cheat Everyone has a sin Don't listen to them For this is true Theirs unsure Be my mistake For in this room We are free A prison of love Baby you are my sweetest - taste of sin And when we reached the end Baby don't let go You are my life My heroine My favorite mistake

Be My Mistake
i've always been told to love; and that if i do, i do it raw and passionately but now as i sit here with the girl i may love, i am told i cannot for her body looks too much like my own, so i am to love the body of a man whose soul does not match mine like hers does i wish you knew how confusingly destructive that sounds-- i am to love the body of a man over the soul of a woman

We can’t choose what we like. It isn’t easy when that thing you like is not accepted by everybody. Yeah I’m talking about love. We’re supposed not to care about what other people say but when it comes to family things change.. My mom can’t accept my homosexuality and it kinda ***** Every time I go through a break up with a girl, I can’t say anything to her. I have to grieve alone. I need her. But well, this is not the end of everything. She’ll eventually understand it and I’ll be able to be myself with her. If you’re going through something like this, I get you and I know how painful it is. I’m here if you ever wanna talk about it. We’re all humans, and humans fall in love with whoever they want to, regardless it’s a woman or a man. The thing is, we all deserve to love and be loved. We need to push away every hateful words and vibes and move on. And well, nobody is 100% hetero anyways haha. Hope this will give you at least a little hope that everything will turn out fine.

We can’t choose
My heart pounding on the door of my chest like a bailiff demanding the rent to be paid No, I say I just can’t Acknowledge me please, says my love drunk heart No, I say just can’t But to ignore me is to ignore yourself, says my grief stricken heart No, I say I just can’t Nothing is stronger than my relentless beating, says my powerful heart; I’m waiting when you’re ready No, I say I just can’t Love my dear it can and it will

I’ll Have a Salad
God so loved the world that She.... Gave Her only son; duh She also turned our feeble existence into a barren, destitute and flood soaked wasteland But then came the Rainbow Her Rainbow Her plea to humanity for forgiveness Love spelt out in ROYGBIV The sky glimmered with the foreshadowing of the ultimate form of sacrificial love Let my heart be ensnared by Her Rainbow Her grace came at great cost so mine wouldn't have to

What a serendipitous God
Locked in I was and grey spatter I spit under fear I crept for satan's name, used so, at my dawn and at my wake my own voice, soft like flowers who tremble under trees so steadfast then upon not one, but many a sunrise, my voice grew up to be wind ~my love out-loud in the living room prayers and fears to sentence my mouth not one more day Freedom knew me my pen knew what it wanted at 11 picking it up at 27 never so brilliantly has ink bubbled

Locked in
It was all too fast and unexpected. Suddenly I was there meeting a complete stranger not knowing what to expect. She was a heart-breaker and I knew it deep down but I ignored all the red flags for all those butterflies and rainbows. She knew where my buttons were, she knew when to push them, she knew how to play a girl very well. And now I'm left feeling like a fool because she has moved on to her next prey.

She wrote love stories to hide the fact that she didn’t have one of her own.

Love
Man was created Humanity was lost We were given false promises of a new world We fell in love with the idea We started to give pieces of ourselves away to meet the criteria to enter a place that only accepts the clean But those who are “clean“ speak filth There are those who shame us for who we are There are things that they say that hurt When you listen to them spread lies you hear hate Steam out of their pale lips You Feel it wash over you and then you feel ***** They say we are condemned to a final punishment Yeah we rise above the ashes but it still hurts They don’t understand the concept of love They think of it as a thing between a man and a woman They don’t understand that it’s much more Love is being able to connect with someone Love is being free without hurt or pain Everlasting life is a nice concept but why is it not obtainable for a whole community who has no choice in their sexuality I might Offend some of you with my words I might get nasty comments for this But I believe in love not a concept of something that hates us Not a book that was written by man dictating whats right and whats wrong I believe in love And if there is a higher being Looking and listening I know that they would believe in love too I can feel them sometimes In my heart and in my soul and they are  not condeming me down to hell They are Holding me and my love in their arms They are lifting us up to the sky Calling us their children because we are infact theirs They made us this way and they made us with love

Love Wins (10w)
With you, Lied all my happiness, With you, All that made me gay. With you, Goes away all my sadness, At night, Your smiles make my day. Now without you, I’m just a man with a flower, Empty in a blank kind of way— Because whenever I’m with you, I’m more than half a man. And more than half is missing, Now that you’ve up and gone… And as they mark this tattoo on my hand, my flower, pitch black, in mourning for you— All I can do is shove all my tears inside… Remembering that half of me, Cost the death of you… —this is just the ‘smart thing’ that men always tend to do—

The Man With a Flower
Loving someone who is broken is like being attracted to shiny shards touching it will make you bleed holding it close may hurt but to those who have true intentions even small pieces can come with a bright luster that even broken glass can shine light into this world.
