Curate, connect, and discover
for you are my sun that shows the glittering of the earth
you are nurturing, you are kind, you are death,
for with your heat and your love the world will end in fire and flame
reach for the stars
even when they burn
for even if you burn
the stars will take your soul
bright and shining
bleeding eyes
your tears fall to stardust
and so i stared at their unflinching face as they spoke
they didn't fidget or stutter
no, nothing so banal as that
they were confident and clear
but behind that confidence
hid a smile that bespoke of their lies
what's it like not to fall in love
just a little bit more when they talk about their love
the favorite book that makes them exaggerate their hands
and tilt their head when they think of it
my soul, though dark and bleary
shines at the thought of you standing beside me
looking out over the sunlit sea
eyes shining with the rays
your beauty strikes through me
and all i can do is gaze at you with love filled eyes
i want to love women saphically
i am not the same as sappho
i am the same as the beings of heaven
whose celestial shine glows amongst mortals
I want to love men like da vinci
but i am just the scribe that bears his soul
oh to be a tree in a forext
of moss and lichen
lounging in a golden ray of sunspot
green leaves glowing with light
birds tittering about my branches
mice scurrying about my boughs
roots splaying through the ground
digging deep into the earth
searching for bones of my past
would you still love me
even if my heart was made of glass
it shatters everytime i feel something
and i dont know how to cope
