I just published my poetry zine!

I put together this poetry zine in 3 months for my typography class. This magazine is a 25 double-sided pdf with a unique typographical design, including 11 English collab poems, 3 English poems and 21 German poems with 23 matching black & white photos. You can buy it for the low price of one small coffee on KoFi (3€) and there is a "pay what you want" function if you want to support my creative work!

Dive into the diffuse waters of poetry and search for the hidden meaning behind the words. I write about the little moments that make life worth living; not important events, not grand gestures, but everyday things. By writing about them, I give them value. The writing process is characterized by the fear of the blank sheet of paper, which has to be overcome without giving in to the urge to fill up the page. Diffuse poetry therefore describes the concept of having the courage to leave gaps and to deal with them openly. Not naming things clearly, but capturing the underlying thoughts and feelings. In contrast to concrete poetry, which is based on a clear statement and always has a message to convey. Have the courage to read between the lines and think about what you read, because words only have the meaning that we have given them. Poems are just condensed language, and always leave a certain amount of room for personal interpretation. I hope you enjoy reading between the lines!

What I Do Not Understand

What I Do Not Understand 

There are things I do not understand about the feelings I have The things from where I stand often don’t make sense of what I have Am I angry or sad? How do I know what to feel? Should I be bitter or glad? Sometimes I just want to squeal

I look all around at the world Then I look inside I sit waiting for the afterworld Away from the chaos near and wide.

Sad eyes and tortured cries abound Can’t we just have peace? Loving sighs and joyful cries all around Will the noise ever cease?

Why should hate, and not love, abide? Why should greed and war thrive? Why are we so cruel inside? Can’t we see what it means to be alive?

Should I hate the haters, curse the worst? Should I love the annihilators?  I feel like I’m going to burst. Can I live for what’s greater and not be a traitor?

Do I look straight ahead Or to what’s above? Who is happier the living or the dead? Where do I find the love?

How can I reach out to help To those who are lost and hurting? Who do I call on for help When life is so disconcerting?

Can I be in comfort with others despondent? Should I live in comfort while so many live without? How can I enjoy ice cream, cake and fondant While outside people starve from disease or drought?

These things I do not understand What feelings should I have? Feeling helpless where I stand Often make me forget what I have.

[fakesurprise]

There is a Court where all matters of import are decided. It exists when it has to, for reasons even some members never know.

"Who did this?" the Queen of Nothing hisses. "The Imposter? Tell me!"

Winter turns and stares at the Queen, who takes a step back as the hall goes quiet. "The Importer has his - own place, but is not this kind of foolish."

"A piece of Nothing is gone. I felt it -." The Queen goes still. "This will not stand."

Her voice is not as empty as she supposes.

"I am afraid I cannot help you."

"You are time. You see all things -."

"An aspect, but not the whole. I am not Arth'Ba'Toch in this moment." Winter's smile is far colder than his name. "Do not give me cause to abuse the power that I am."

And even Nothing steps back at that, her gaze raking the room. Several lesser Powers flee, not wishing to be unmade.

"I believe I can explain." And behind her is another, sometimes clad in armour.

The Queen turns, and sneers. "You wear a mortal form."

"They have some importance as well," Lance Christensen says calmly. "And this is a matter of mortals."

"No mortal can disturb the sacred balance."

Winter sighs, and the sigh is deep and resigned and knowing.

Lance smiled crookedly. "A mortal did. Jay was asked if hugs needed to be recharged, and now they do."

"I have not met this one."

"You can't. You are what you are, Void and all. Jay would - change you, and into what I suspect no one can know."

"Change me?" The Queen laughs. "You have changed. Justice should be seeking recompense for me, not telling me to hide!"

Lance shakes his head. "Many Powers exist, and some have never been part of the court. Jay is - outside all of that. From Outside the universe."

"The Cone and the Grave govern all such -."

"Jay hides himself from them."

"... that is not possible."

"Yes, well, the universe now has a Huggery that recharges hugs. Until a few hours ago that was also impossible." Lance doesn't smile. Justice seldom does. "Jay once banished me from the universe by accident. I will not say it did not cost him, and fixing it was another cost. He was ten then. He is eleven now. You don't want to draw his attention."

"If Innocence was a Power, it would be Jay. And Innocence does not last," and a raven sometimes called Skergaal appears, to slip away a moment later.

The Court vanishes, as all return to their own places of Power.

Only Winter remains, because there are few places that Time is not.

"Hello," he says to the Huggery, and gently helps it find its place among the Powers.

One day a Jay made a jaysome deal To hide an Imposter from the real!  But they were adamant A Jay stop any accident So I did bindings to make an @adamantseal

[purgatorypoetry]

Let the sky stay painted for a while. Let the dynamic blooms of reds and blues shift their hues by the will of god and that alone. While you're at it, go ahead and let god exist for a little bit too. Try not to question the physics or the chemistry of beauty and try simply to let it lie on your tongue. Hold it there and savour the taste. More importantly, give thanks.

Let the stars make their pictures. Let our ancient heroes hold their place. Don't dwell on all that empty space. Don't think of the violence of the stars. Don't think of entropy. Wonder instead at the hands that hung them, infinite and illustrious.

Let the sun be god. Or a god. Pray to it at least once and wonder if it will set tonight - rise tomorrow. Disregard the concept of its gravity and the great speeds at which we are hurtling around it and it around greater masses and at greater speeds still. Still.

Let it all lie still and static. Beautiful and perfect and mysterious. Untouchable and immovable and unknowable. Wondrous and marvelous and real.

beautifulimposter25 reblogged your post:

Welcome, eater of gods.

Jay is... doing bindings. Of course he’s doing bindings. 

And has acquired a meeting room white paper board, paper, and markers. Which he is filling with graphs. At least, I think most of it is graphs.

He has determined that I will have a very jaysome amount of followers soon. 

(.... what happens if I don’t?)

#beautifulimposter25 #charlie's corner #i have no idea how this works

[llesbianwrites]

Thanks for the STS ask :-) in return, I will ask this. If you met your OCs, would you like any of them? Do you think you would ever form any relationships with them and if so, what form would those relationships take?

OC Song Ask Thing: “Hold On” by Tom Waits

[Send an ask with a song title + artist, I’ll say which OC it fits and I’ll give you a song from their playlist!]

Ohh, this song paints such a specific song and I’m not sure it fits any of my characters... 🤔 Possibly Colin earlier on in his life!

It has a very different sound, but the theme and emotion behind it is a little similar~

Thanks for the ask!

Golden tears

I claw out my skin, hoping they would scratch my eyes Crying golden tears, they scald my hands and melt my flesh. Lost with saudade, I don't go home still, for it's only a figment, like the tip of a cigarette.

If it weren’t for that fateful kiss, I could have escaped the abyss. A true heart made of gold; Devoid of emotion, under my fingers turning cold.

If I can't see again, it would be better. Rather than have a filtered fantasy, I would hear the truth from you, and feel your intent.

When the leaves turned golden, Everything led up to this event. The gods have failed what they promised to protect: A blossoming love, now doomed with neglect.

Thanks for the ask :-) returning the favor, if all of your OCs were to get together, how would that play out? Who would get along, who would start the drama, etc?

This question is pretty much the basis for all my WIPs :P I’m too polyamorous not to want to shove all my OCs in a big puppy pile and make them play nice together. That being said:

Who needs to duck out to recharge: Gil, Seth, Naj, Roanan

Who is the life of the party and lives for it: Tybee, Kyle

Who is the life of the party and doesn’t understand why: James, Ripley

Who is the sweet cinnamon roll that just loves all their friends so much: Ence, Charity, Adiran

Too Old!

Too Old!

We’re too old! Too old you say!? Too old to enjoy a sunny day? Too old to smell the roses along the way? Too old for a romp in the hay? Too old for a dip in the bay?

But we’re too old! But we are alive I say Alive to drive with the top down Alive to go out on the town Alive to play on the playground,  to ride a merry-go-round,  Alive to push the bounds

We’re just too old. Just too old for what my dear? Too old to make angels in the snow? Too old to listen to the Summer breeze blow? Too old too remember who we were just a while ago? Too old to see how high a kite can go?

I guess you are right We are too old to care what others might think or bray Too old to make excuses and keep life at bay Too old to waste this wonderful day Too old not to make a wish on a star and pray Too old to let our love just slip away

[fakesurprise]

beautifulimposter25 mentioned you in a post: “There are few times that The Rules permit my touching the mortal world...”:

I can do more Imposter, but alas, Jay, Honcho, and Charlie are the creations of my collaborator on this piece, @fakesurprise. I am glad that you liked this though, it was a lot of fun to work on and to get to play with someone else’s characters.

Hello :)  

Jay (who has his own blog, of course, because Jay), Charlie and the wandering magician are from a series I write. But they definitely like interacting with he Imposter and that odd between--space that’d been made from that. (And I’m rather glad @beautifulimposter25 has been kind enough to allow it to happen :))
