2020

Diamonds are forever

But who can you even trust

Make a purpose of yourself

Claiming to be tough

Craving good luck

Maybe found with a four leaf clover

You search in spaces

That never had luck before

Abandoned left you wondering why you feel

The need for more

Friendly and discrete

Yet you still feel incomplete

Stronger than most

He acts as if you are a ghost

Unaffected and unfair

Not the perfect pair

Love yourself but beware of this

If you let him,

He'll do more than kiss

Answers to Nothing

#ProjectAzeroth Update: I think I'm ready to start writing my journey in what will be its final, narrative order... #WorldofWarcraft #poetry #poetryproject #InternetofWords

This week, for the first time, I had the opportunity to explain ‘the Project’ to someone who has no idea of the game behind it. It confirmed to me the belief that to ensure all this makes sense in the wider scheme of things, it probably can’t just be a bunch of poems. I’ve been playing around with the idea of ‘lyric essays’ for a while as a narrative accompaniment to this work, and also had the…

Age 11. The delicate signs of puberty erupt around me. My face is still my face, but painted a pattern I didn't choose. I have to shamefully pick out 10/12 panties knowing my best friend wore 5/6. We were in the 5th grade.

Age 13. I'm starting to grow into my curves and get embarrassed when I need pads. Why are these men staring at me like that? I wonder if this is how my body should exist. I am reminded I'm "always hungry". I didn't know it meant blasphemy.

Age 17. Pilates. I look in the mirror and think I am healthy. Why did my best friend call me "too skinny". Maybe I should eat a burger.

Age 20. I am surrounded by vultures who see open invitations to pick me apart. "Are you sure you can eat that?". I am confused. I still have to pick out 10/12 panties.

Age 23. It's hard to build a healthy relationship with your body when no matter the size, you are wrong. Why do I feel pretty when I'm hungry, yet sick and disgusting when I find myself savoring the taste of cake.

Maybe 11 year old me would know.

Fake fake world

Pretty pretty masks

Beautiful beautiful faces

So many things to hide.

My brain goes insane

When reality splits

I'm bipolar as fuck

So no I cant get a grip

All I crave is her face

And that taste of her lips

But I fucked it all up

Yeah I did it again

A whole piece of shit

Nah cannot pretend

I regret past mistakes

But then I fuck up again

I stay surrounded by people

But I dont know a friend

A Lily

The last time I fell in love, I was left a complete and total mess

Didn't think I'd make it out of the sorrow, the emptiness, the stress

But you came around and you're different, you're something so so new

I feel more than little flutters of wings when I come around you

You tell me that I'm beautiful but it's more than that, it's deep

You respect that im still vulnerable and you've held me as I weeped

You accept all of my weirdness and my ever changing moods

You say things like: -you're not moody at all. You're just misunderstood

And although I know you're fibbing, I cant help but to smile

Just when I've given up hope, you make all seem worthwhile

Think I may fall hard for you, tell me, are you into the geeky, loyal, passionately sensual type, like me?

And you say: -I don't know who let you go, but I think I never will-, and I smile so big, as you hand me a single black calla lily.

Tell your tales but never tattle

You will come across several battles

But one thing you should always keep

Are the secrets that are all too deep

Certain things are better left unspoken

Never leave a promise broken

Regrets are nothing fun

So don't you tattle and become that one.

saturday: a stroll through polyamoryland

I slept in

sun peaking through the blinds

kissing my bare skin

I sat at the front my yoga mat

awakened my oil diffuser

and began my morning routine

I hopped on the back of his bike

slid my body against his

wrapping my arms around him

as we flew over the pavement

I walked around the street fair with Knox

it was our first public dyadic date

we added to a chalk mural

and surveyed trinkets

before stopping for lunch

and getting to know one another better

I received a call from my husband

he had to stay at work late again

but he was fortunately able to get off

early enough for me to cheer him up

I took him on a scooter adventure

down to the water of the willamette

as the sun set and the stars appeared

we rode through the streets of the city

and ended up taking an elevator

up to the 30th floor of the

tallest building in Oregon

I ate dinner with Bridges

with a gorgeous view behind us

our bellies full of delicious food

falling more and more in love with each other

I ended the night by taking

our catdog, Zephyr, on a walk

through our quaint little neighborhood

whilst stargazing, reflecting

and reassuring my life partner

I had the most amazing day

and I am full of love and gratitude

for everyone that I am privileged enough

to spend this life with

The moon moves the waters of the seas...you+me. Tides change, when time remains the same. Our bodies contain 60% water, so I'm sure you can imagine the fucking hurricane that goes on in my veins when you stare at me with your icy gaze. I melt into the constellations that blend into the sky like a beautiful painting... The moon told me I move you just the same.

I have loved

loved too deeply

Yes stopping was an option

But it wasn't in me to make it a choice
