A love letter to my flamboyant butches,
Those of you who talk like a melody, accompanied by the dance of your hands. The theatrics in the way you converse, a show anyone would be lucky to see.
Your exuberance isn't at odds with your masculinity. Your flamboyance doesn't soften your butchness.
A peacock ruffling it's feathers, train-rattling, carabiner, chain-rattling. The elaborate adornments you cover yourself in, cloth, ink, metal.
Taking full advantage of the range of expression that queer masculinity offers. You blow me away, you send stars to my eyes, you show me all that could be.
You are unmissable, you are unforgettable, and you add so much vibrancy to this beautiful community.

The secret to a long lasting relationship is making uncomfortable conversations normal. Addressing unpleasant truths; pointing out the traits that bother you; being told about your own drawbacks; and being corrected sometimes. And everything with zero fear of offending the other person. You need to have the courage and tactfulness to adjust, compromise and protect your integrity at the same time.

her touch felt like stars danced across my skin
she was tangled in my soul, I thought of her without even trying
painted colors on my heart and memories in my mind I never erase, of the love she offered me.
I crave the taste of her lips as if I was homesick

Thinking about the relationship between a dog and a wolf...does a dog ever think about how in a different universe it too could be howling beneath the moon, running free, with corpses between its jaws? Does it think of that and find the open sky is too cold? Or does it yearn for a chill setting deep into its bones? Does the wolf's hind legs ever tire of running? Or does it sleep peacefully knowing it would prefer pain over shackles any day? Do they ever lock eyes knowing they've come closer to divinity than any of us would ever know?

You said the sun would rise.
Let’s go
along those unmapped paths
to free the green alligator you love.
And let’s go obliterating
insults with our
brows swept with dark insurgent stars.
We shall have victory or shoot past death.
At the first shot the whole jungle
will awake with fresh amazement and
there and then serene company
we’ll be at your side.
When your voice quarters the four winds
reforma agraria, justice, bread, freedom,
we’ll be there with identical accents
at your side.
And when the clean operation against the tyrant
ends at the end of the day
there and then set for the final battle
we’ll be at your side.
And when the wild beast licks his wounded side
where the dart of Cuba hits him
we’ll be at your side
with proud hearts.
Don’t ever think our integrity can be sapped
by those decorated fleas hopping with gifts
we want their rifles, their bullets an a rock
nothing else.
And if iron stands in our way
we ask for a sheet of Cuban tears
to cover our guerrilla bones
on the journey to American history.
Nothing more.
—Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Song to Fidel, 1956.

the sapphic urge to buy bouquets and dry them, stare at art, go on picnics, pet every dog you see on the street, smile at babies, kiss everyone you love on the forehead, wear only eyeliner, lean against the person sitting next to you, make super specific playlists, take pictures of the moon, take screenshots of angel numbers, draw hearts on all your notes, have everyone remember you by your perfume, look mysterious while reading on public transport, tell everybody you meet about your love for taylor swift, get iced caramel latte despite being late, only carry your stuff in tote bags no matter how heavy, feel pretty when no one's watching and sit on countertops instead of chairs

I think
I could love you
for fifteen lifetimes
and still never
tire of you
I hope to
meet you in every
lifetime after this one
For knowing you
has been one
of my greatest blessings
You complete me
You balance me
Even on my darkest days
you light my soul on fire

TIPS for HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS
1. REMEMBER that any relationship is so much more than just a feeling. It requires an adequate amount of communication, reciprocation and space for one to grow within it.
2. PAY ATTENTION to how they treat your trivial affairs, and pay attention to how that makes you feel. Then, let the other person know. Avoid forming assumptions based on your limited perception.
3. GIVING with an abundant heart is a pretty gesture in any relationship, but always being the one to give may actually be a siren call. Be aware.
4. SET BOUNDARIES. Do not ever forget who you were before you crossed their path. You were a complete being with a goal to reach before they were ADDED to your life.
5. If you constantly have to find different ways to gain their attention, CALCULATE if you are investing your time and energy in the right place. A good person and a person with a good understanding of relationships aren't always the same people.
6. LEARN to say NO to yourself when you know that hanging onto a person or a feeling wouldn't bring you any growth. Do not become the clip to your own wings. Do not become your own prison.

they deserve the world,
so i will adorn them with rings from saturn and perfumes from venus.
and if they asked more of me,
i would take them to star after star and give a reason why i love them
until we run out of stars.

I call her my moon but she is the sun and the stars. i am just the moon reflecting off her, cherishing and adores her light.
cosmos of a thousand stars I found the one I met in my dreams. who said she'd meet me between the sky and sea.
she was like a golden light, the warmth of the sun as it soaks into your skin. that bright spark of kindness on a lone wildflower to bloom.
she's a light so rare a comfort in fear, that glimmer spark of hope. my golden flame under the same sky I'll follow you through any cloud.
-Faith

you are fireworks
on the lake at my grandparents’
and you are the lake itself
and you are
sleep to the pained
the sunshine on my skin
water in the summertime
rain in the heat
and i am
the awed bystander
the aching
the skin on my arms
the diver
the drenched

I wished so passionately of you.
Nights filled with praying for you.
Days longing to be with you.
The moment that I met you,
I knew my dream had finally come true.
