A curse by any other name
would sting as sweetly sung,
reborn blasphemous baptism,
left quivering on your tongue.
 
You call to her.
She answers.
 
Years spent calculating space,
fingers tracing tiny fractures
of beauty aged upon your face.
 
She wants your anathema.
She wants your suffering.
She wants your fear,
to lick your tears
as you dream of brighter things.
 
She wants your weathered stories,
non-fiction buried deep,
lamented limbo of your crucified sin
haunting inconsolable sleep
 
And so you let her drink your poison,
your old fears laundered clean
and she’ll love you anyway,
your fated anathema queen.
 
You thought no one wanted the poison,
or the shadow you’d become.
 
You thought no one wanted your poison.
But it’s no poison upon her tongue.

🖤Life will take many twists and turns and in those winding routes of uncertainty, there is still beauty waiting for you ahead.🖤

Possibility is only a precipice. It is the teetering point on which the needle sways

back and forth
back and forth

Do you sway like the needle? Can you taste the sweet sweat of Eros in the very air you breathe? The same way I breathe in my Colossal. He is everywhere. The essence of his being fills my lungs the same way you fill my heart. The same way he fills my soul. The same way you fuck my mind, he fills the pockets of time with moments that stretch themselves into infinite hallways traversing the planes of everything you create.

You are my Colossal.
Two sides of the same man.

Take my hand and follow me to the top of the Babylon Tower. I will fashion the world’s most intricate looking glass. Eyes for your eyes, a passage for your soul to stroll through the midnight sky where I have cultivated the stars in your name. A new constellation in which my world will never look the same. Look inside of me as we freefall into Eden. Dive in with me. Tell me, what are the pieces you see? Are you as lost in me as I am lost in your sea? Do you know the little galaxies I keep tucked beneath my tongue? Plucking them one by one, we breathe life into their atoms and a new world is spun.

Do you see me?
This is who I am.
When I love
I love with all of myself
I give voice
To the things on my mind.
Because today is here
and tomorrow is never promised.
I always want you to know
you are loved.
Your words echo
And I know as I have always known
You could be loved like this forever
I will love you like this forever

Tell me you’ll love me like this forever
