When I love
it burns as molten salt
tracing it’s way through veins and capillaries
bursting from my hands and tongue and eyes
a torrents rush of passion blazing
shattering incandescent
I pour myself into you expecting to be met
to cavort with similar passion
instead find hollow tubes or cool waters
that swallow all that I am
give nothing back
until empty
confused and broken
I am discarded
Month: June 2017
Refuge for the darkness
If I could be your monster
I’d dance you to the river
that we may both drown
or cadence test and timing bound
slip skin and become one
bound round and round
let devour your mind
slip into dark places
touch the deepest, most lurid desires
I guarantee, I won’t be shocked
keep your course by my side
be us monsters together
dance the moonlight
in blood and abandon
Sense8
So I don’t normally do this but this show is very important to me. Not only does it show LGBTQ+ in a positive light it also shows that their sexuality is just a part of who they are. It is the most inclusive I have ever seen a show that was not specifically about their sexuality. Like Queer As Folk or the L Word. This shows people being people, sexuality included.
When I watch the show I feel proud to be on the journey with these people. I feel good about them. Their world is fraught with danger but they never stop loving. Indeed their world is one of inclusive love and that is always something I will endorse.
If you have not watched it, it is on Netflix and I can’t recommend it enough. It stands at 2 seasons and a teaser episode.
Unfortunately, as of yesterday, it seems Netflix has canceled it. And I feel like they are ripping away something vital and real. Something that truly shows what an accepting loving society could be.
I’ve signed this petition: Save Sense8
I hope you will too. Or at least watch the show.
Realizations
So I guess I’m with no one right now. Much as I wish it were otherwise. And I find the oddest thing. I find myself ridiculously confident and ok. Not ridiculously happy but ok and my confidence is back. I suppose because I know exactly where I stand and that’s what I need to be this way. I wish I could be with someone and feel this confident. People in a relationship with me know precisely how I feel. Because I tell them. I want someone who is that ongoingly honest and in love. I’m a mad thing and I know it. All passion has its price.
Silk or the sword
The tenderest of truths
is the faintest slip of a lie
A truth withheld
becomes the well of tarnished voices
Until
At break
Effluvia pours free
Drowning dreamer and dream
A truth spoken
Cuts clean
A blade slick with blood
Cut my flesh
A thousand times
I’ll not fester in secret
I’ll be your truth
If you’ll be mine
A lovers promise
I can inflict upon you such pleasure that lines begin to blur and only your desires dictate which is pain and which is pleasure.
I can make your mind tremble with anticipation of my touch.
With trepidation and luscious full lips.
I can show you a world where only your limits contain you.
Where nothing is forbidden.
Where all pains become pleasures and all sensation serves its truest purpose.
Give me your hand and I will make you mine.
And becoming mine know safety and sin.
Keep me on repeat
I’m a broken record
I’m falling in love with you, love with you, love with you
I’m skipping out of the best parts
Cause all I see is you, all I see is you all I see is you
I just want this one to last
But I can’t stop my heart from thinking
Can’t stop my heart from thinking
Can’t stop my heart from thinking
About falling in love with you, you, you
I’m just a broken record
Singing to the night
Just a broken record
Singing for the light
Just a broken record
I’ll never be alright
I’m falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
And I cannot sleep at night
Just hold me until it’s right, until it’s right, until it’s right
I’m just a broken record
Stop the needle before I’m done
I’m just a broken record
I know I’m not the one
But I just can’t help
Just can’t help
Just can’t help
Falling in love with you
Hearts still foolish, even as they break
There’s a part of me that will always yearn for you
though I know you don’t think of me
a part that always wonders what if
though I’m not who you want to see
a part that spins the possibility
though you’re already walking away
a part made of hopes and memories
though it was never me in your eyes
A madness, a sharpness, a bitter kiss
Loved hard, loved true, loved only
Sitting on a bench at the edge of the road
In the last light of sunset
Wistful saline river
Something in me feels broken
Like some sensor is flawed
I keep seeing you
In every aspect of my life
But past is passed
And I’m looking for the new dawn
But instead only this unrelenting light pours down
Illumination pinning me
A butterfly trapped to a board
I reach but I falter
Strength departs
And only plans make way
Light fading
No moment of transition
Only an end
Unwanted
Song of the Day
How I feel about those I love
