Let's remember Nex Benedict as they were. They shouldn't have died at that young of an age. Let's remember the 33 transgender and gender nonconforming people who died this year because of hate crimes. Let's remember there is more to humanity than just cruelty. Let's remember there is more to life than the harshness of life. I know I say this while hiding my gender identity but there is boldness in silence. Let's remember anyone of us in the LGBTQ community would have accepted Nex Benedict as one of us because they were one of us. So live boldly! This isn't about me, this is about remembering the dead. The dead deserve to be remembered.

Goddess
your body is your temple. instead of punishing it for not being what you want it to be, thank it for being the home you go to every night.

more self love
In the floodgates                 of forever                     I see you standing,                  arms out, so ready     the multiple layers of silky delicious        that we have created                            until now      swirling about us, a storm of veils beckoning like sea waifs      and I am opening up like never before        my heart practically                  out of my chest                                until it is                        flying forth,                         a mythical              winged creature, prehistoric birdling and you,       with  your strong arms your third eyelight turned on               catch it                           hold it                    nuzzle it             until the rest of me can reach you    bursting forward         through swathes            of time            turbulence a mere                             snippet and we meld and merge like oceans      hearts lit up in electrical surge time and place not existing We are the sea. We are the Earth. We are the desert velvet We are the wonder in the hallways of our arteries We are the bloodflow                  heartflow of the universe within us We reign the ever changing existence that keeps us whole allowing room to breathe to bloom in mystical                    wild gardens                 yet binding through realms of our light's endless expansion our souls embracing as we dream future visions upon our tongues and as I gaze upon you our eyes a magnet you ignite my glow, the king of my citadel festooned with              flowerbuds for your         queen

Awake again, another day Coffee as brown as her eyes meet me from The mug she made me. The heater keeps the cold away But not as well as her breath Or her skin against mine, The shower head begins to spray Steaming water that I ever wish were Her fingers, streaming down my back. Our frustrated feelings start to fray As we play witness to others begin life together As we've worked so hard to achieve. But I will be the ceramic and not the clay, Steadfast and unyielding until mine is mine And hers is hers because by god -- Awake I will be in the suns first rays, Wrapped in arms and light and soft brown hair And eyes like coffee that will beg me back to bed.

It's not you
She wasn't his world. She built it for him. She poured in sunlight with her smile. His nighttime came when she was sad. The glint in her eyes made his stars. Her fingers played the tune he hummed. Her feet walked on every surface that he would come to call home. She made it all for him. And wanted nothing in return. But sometimes, as a small gift, He would borrow a little bit of the sky and put it back in her eyes. So that they would be blue again. So that the glint would be brighter than ever once more. He did all this for her. Even though she never once asked for it.
