Infernal Transmutation That the birds of the sky Do not sow, And do not reap. A lie, misdirect. Beady eyes not raised, But earthbound true. Peck, caw and claw, Toil the soil, Swallow the seeds, Trap the prey, Tear the flesh, Kill to live. In due time The fields filled With the dead of your kin But not you, Not yet, Carry on a while longer.
One more burnt bridge, Another blocked number, Places you can never go back. Say you had to, Claim the cause of survival. Blood cost just gets higher. Didn't know a heart, Could break this much, And still beat fine enough, Arrhythmia aside. Bump-bump, bump-bump Bump-bump-BUMP ... Feel yourself grow cold, Chill with the winter. Not cruel, but absent. No mercy to be found. That girl disappeared into the sea. And what you're left with is me.
Time and entropy Test the spirit, And harden the weak. Cold, cool, collected. The woman you needed to be. Be so many things. Forget your face, Known only to observers. Burst in from bitter winds, Starved, wounded, deranged. Find a standalone mirror, And know you've changed.

// The question by itself seems so surreal. I found friendship to be a woeful might - to talk together of our wants and fears, and chatter with each other through the night. To cry together all the painful tears, and reminisce of lovers in our years. The bond we made became our spirit shields, and hours spent online became our spears. You tempt my soul with what I long to feel. To talk of parents lost who gave us life, of siblings gone despite our sacred fears. You’re my chosen sister of whom I write, who gives me butterflies when you come near. Are we platonic? It seems so unclear. Maybe I weaken with romantic zeal, and my spirit struggles when you come near. You tempt my soul with what I long to feel. Whatever happens in our darkened night if our friendship turns even more unclear our language grows to more than butterflies the friendship vibrates, rage-filled, nuclear We’ll cry together all the painful tears and slay the monsters with our hardened steel placed with friendship upon our heart-shaped speers You tempt my soul with what I long to feel. Will you support me if a mutineer? The question by itself seems so surreal - hold my hand through another bitter year? You tempt my soul with what I long to feel. 28 lines three stanzas of eight lines followed by a quatrain (or four-line stanza) called an envoy (or envoi) rhyme scheme: ababbcbC/ababbcbC/ababbcbC/bcbC final line of each stanza is a refrain each line is usually comprised of eight or 10 syllables (flexible, but consistent within the poem)

in the quiet following a noisy storm the whisper of a promise is heard upon the land sunlight dances beneath the ancient trees finding laughter between the moving leaves in static aftermath the storm clouds flee and leave behind the gentle dancing trees. the post-storm powerlines sit safe beneath lined with many tiny feathered beings in the light behind the noisy storm the whisper of a promise we won’t be alone this time – and i feel safe, safer than i should.

I wrote this last spring, but it feels strangely relevant now. I really like 𝐡𝐞𝐫. I feel safe with 𝐡𝐞𝐫. I feel like two tiny birds sitting on the power lines after a storm we both endured. I'm kind of afraid, too.

‘sweetie’

but when he rolls up with his friend
now ur

If you are new here, you will see a model much Clothing. Clothing, make up, jewelry. I take my own approach, as I am an artist, and a performer. A filmmaker, a photographer, an illustrator, an author, a composer, musician, a singer songwriter. I do not claim these areas lightly. I have given all of my heart all of my life to love relationships, which I am still no good at, and Art. There is no separation in my life between Art, performance, and life. Honesty runs through all of it. You'll notice snakes often. Snake insignia, snake jewelry, snake tattoos. This is not accidental obviously. I'm going to an extremely difficult part of my life. Maybe one of the hardest periods ever. I don't have much more words to say on it. But I will express it through my art.
that which I thirst for
I cannot drink
I am the starving coyote
I bring u in close
U will leave before dawn
I am the wicked city

O, Demented Splendor! Standing at the edge Of a tower so great. Can't even see the bottom, Atop the bricks of Babel. Take a step, Maybe two. Perhaps to fly, Probably to plummet. A decade passed Since the shattering. Broke your mind on the wheel, Made friends with hazy shapes. Five years passed, Since the rending. Said they'd fix you, Tore out your soul. Didn't get your brain back, Rather covered it in sap. Crystallize to amber, No billionaire to revive you. Once the mouthpiece, Of the Lord our God. Now dwell among the rats, In these murky basement walls. What kind of joke? Treatment as much death, As the disease it drowns. A mind made quiet and still. Miss a dose, Maybe miss two. Feel yourself come back to you. On its heels, the screams of demons you deny. See them, Hear them, smell the brimstone. "God works in mysterious ways" Seems more a cosmic joke. Wonder what it would be like, To give in, To be made whole, To walk with grey stalkers once more. The brilliance once dulled now restored. Conjure beauty in words, Like you never lost your touch. Most of all, find yourself, Be human again. It's a lie, The dreams of a husk, Who yearns for the life she had, Moreso the one she never will. Restoration was never an option. So open the bottle, An angel cracks the seventh seal, Take the oblong tablet, Try to keep your head above the water.
Whenever I have even a small gap in my medication I try to channel the maddened energy into something beautiful.
So, I give you a poem
O, Demented Splendor!

Solitaire's Lament She asks who I love, I know the answer, I know several, I say nothing. View it from above, That safe vantage. Watch myself travel Down lonely alleys. To one I am nothing, To another I am demon, The third glances at me, In her rearview mirror. This doesn't end in a ring, Just quiet nights spent Longing for something to be different, Me or you, all the same. To me you are a salve, A tourniquet to slow bleeding. You'll never be her, why would you want to be? Quip, smile, grown so suave. If it's a game, play it well. Avoid mirrors, never to gaze At the mournful creature I became.
Solitaire's Lament

🖤 The Blackout Poem I Never Thought I’d Make
He left a hostile comment about being trans, then blocked me. I turned it into a poem. Art lasts longer.
