she is the raw material of my poetry. she is the ivory i make sculptures with, she is the heart i feel with. if i were to keep intact, save one last organ, and have the remaining ones to shatter like the fragilest crystal or rot like apples, it would be my heart; for it would be the only way i could keep her and myself at the same time. she has slid into my heart limb by limb, day by day, sown and grown inside of me like a climbing plant, she has grown the greenest and leafiest of forests inside of me, which now hugs my insides and holds each one of my organs tightly with love.

Chosen
Poem by dlb
We are powerful beings
The energy inside one person
Is said to be equivalent
to a small nuclear explosion
Only difference is
we let it go gradually
Instead of all at once
I believe this is a beautiful thing
We choose to explode
at random moments
in various fashions of love
That leads us to the person we become
Look to yourself for strength
You were built with the stars
And you are powerful
Strong enough to
destroy your own world
Or hold it all together
The choice is yours

Tounges
Women at my church talked to God more than they talked to their husbands.
They writhed on the ground with their eyes closed, hands clenched tight near their chest and gasped uncontrollably.
Their knees buckled as they fell to the floor and reduced themselves to a babbling mess of phrases only discernible by God.
I asked my grandmother, “what’s wrong with them, Granny?”
She said, “their talkin’ to God, baby.”
And I told her I didn’t want to talk to God cause it looked painful.
I talk to women who go to church more than I talk to God.
On Saturday nights when their husbands are playing poker. I speak in tongue between their thighs, skin against skin, glistening with sin and the arousal of blasphemy, and they writhe against me with their eyes closed.
Their hands clench mine and they reduce themselves to a babbling mess of phrases Discernible only by me.
Talking to God was painful,
So I became her.

to love all of you within the noiseless half of a sigh is a time-swept fever dream stirring in my fists — part firework smoke, part lavenders, part quiet, cautious limerence. how you enchant and unsettle me — i run high and aimless, and free fall in seconds. i am smitten. desperate. love-sick. wordless now, for all i care, darling — i'll leave all of my poems strewn in your bed, like a girl shedding her mortality before a goddess in her truest form.
to disrupt this is a human blunder. to bask in it, divine. ♡

I am certain our paths will cross again, I’m just afraid that you will be ready, And I will have moved on.

I look at her with so much love
While bright eyes stare right back
A smile pulls at my face
As I think of calling her my wife one day
-Wife- that term and her combined make me giddy
I feel so high, free and alive around her
Every touch sparks a feeling deep within me
I’ve never been so greedy towards someone’s attention but I don’t feel the slightest bit of remorse
She brings me peace
Finally I have a home within my person
My one true
My love

a sapphic poem/spoken word piece
Things i don’t tell you:
Once my therapist asked me when the last time I felt safe was. I thought for a while and gave her some answer about when I was ill as a child and my mum would stroke my forehead, and whilst this is true, I couldn’t stop thinking of you the rest of the session. Because the truth is, with you is where I feel safest.
Those times I drunk texted saying I love you? I wasn’t drunk. I had definitely drank a little, but not nearly enough to so melodramatically confess my feelings. If only it was socially acceptable to soberly declare your love for a girl- am I right?
I can’t eat caramel desserts without thinking of that day in July when you kissed me and I could taste the salty-sweet toffee flavour on your lips and your tongue and my lips and my tongue. Caramel became my favourite candy after that, and I think it still is. 
 Every time you mention feeling ill or feeling sad or anything negative a part of me breaks and reassembles itself so I can attempt to fix the problem from afar. Whenever you’re in a good mood, the butterflies in my stomach dance with joy and I can’t stop myself from smiling.
At night, all the moments in which I could’ve held you or kissed you or touched you replay in my head like an mp3 with only one song, or a broken record player repeating the same melody with slightly different adjustments- a bittersweet lullaby of love and nostalgia.
Since that autumn goodbye, I’ve slept with the teddy you gave me without one night away. Thinking about how you clasped my hand that day, and looked at me like I was your favourite thing in the world, thinking about the way you blushed and looked at your socks as you handed it to me, it makes everything a little better.
I still love you. I think I always will.

golden hour has a funny way of suspending time
wedged right in between day and night, it serves as a beginning and an ending
while it transforms the sky into an array of light and beauty
the girl I loved in middle school
shared my love for the way the sky transformed
the days when we would get ice cream and watch the sky from the top of the playground were the days when my love for her felt the most infinite
looking at her face in this light, the way the sun hit her skin and danced across each of the freckles on her nose
I had no choice but to love her
even though everything in me was saying that I shouldn’t
but that’s the thing about the sun
you can’t stop it from rising every morning
or departing from the sky each evening
and even when you can’t see it glowing above you in the sky, or feels it’s warmth on your skin
it’s still there
as much as I tried to ignore my love for her
I couldn’t
I felt it every time I looked at her, every time I thought of her, every time I heard her voice
and even when I pretended I didn’t
I loved her more than anything in the world
our little moments in the golden sunlight meant more to me than anyone could have known
and even though the sun would soon set and we would soon have to go home
I knew that there was no way that my body could forget how the sun felt on my skin or how the way she looked at me made made me love her in a way that I’d never thought I’d love another girl
there are some things that you just know
and on those nights the only things I was certain of
was that the sun would eventually set, and that it would rise again the next morning
and that I loved her

Flying
We're on our way and chasing sunsets
Lover love, we've almost made it
Those orange hues are within our grasp
Our life's beginning's nearly starting
My drunken ponderings nothing but bygones
Perhaps, I inwardly hope, these bygones will accumalate some amount of significance
But until then I think and hurt and love and laugh
She hears my thoughts, heals my wounds, loves me unconditionally, and laughs uninhibitedly
For such things I'm forever indebted and irreparably in love with her
This same woman I now fly with towards my orange-tinged, uncertain future
Though one thing I'm certain of is our happiness
She comprises the majority of this coveted emotion within my soul, and I in hers
I've never smiled so brightly towards the rest of my days as I've had with her by my side
My sunflower, you give me purpose
Sunshine would be useless without the life it creates
I'll fulfill my purpose, we'll build our lives and home
Together we will create, endure, and enjoy
This life is ours for the taking
And I swear on mine it'll be the best I can give you

this is a poem for a girl who doesn’t know i’m in love
her smile shines like the sun
across her face freckles run
her hair sits neatly just below her shoulders
wish i would’ve told her
but know she’s kissing her
and dating her
and saying it doesn’t matter
and i’m gonna keep wishing im for her
but first loves are supposed to break your heart
so i’m gonna lie to save my heart
she’s one of my best friends
i don’t want to end that
but when she wears my necklace or blazer
i feel like she’s burnt a hole in my heart with a lazer
every hug you give me, every touch is like a tazer
and i’m not gonna tell anyone this
because i want to save her
