romance

foisted love








foisted love

 

 

 

I've not yet

seen her honeyed lips;

it might be far in excess

of what my earthly desires should be

to know how to

truly be in love

 

what else is there

to whet one's

appetite in a

hallowed life here on

earth?

 

I guess what I shall

wish for had to be

something

more

 

to be led on by something

celestial yet how

I wished it could

be enough, but more

 

it should

explain to

mere mortals what

we could not

grasp in our own

inevitable birth

 

if life is a process

some would say

let live and let die,

but I'm stuck in the

interstice


of a metaphysical

universe

Astral, Aquatic, Arboreal: A Queer Love Triptych

Poems

Celestial Serenade

 

Silken skies, where starlings soar,

Zephyr's zest, we both adore.

Sapphire seas and sibilant shores,

Our love, like light, through cosmos pours.

 

Artemis’ arrows aim prestigious, 

Safely we dance under a moonlit aegis.
Entwined, we dream of Sappho's isle,

Our hearts aligned, mile after mile.

 

Earthen embrace, we root and grow,

Gaia's gifts, on us bestow.

Verdant vines and velvet moss,

Our bond, unbroken, knows no loss.

 

Eternal Echoes

 

Whispered wishes in the wind,

Two souls, genderless, have twinned.

Celestial bodies, we revolve,

Our love's enigma we'll resolve.

 

Neptune's nymphs sing siren songs,

To depths where our passion belongs.

Poseidon's realm, a vast expanse,

Where our love story finds romance.

 

Persephone's pomegranate seeds,

Bind us like eternal deeds.

Through seasons' change, we persevere,

Our love grows stronger year by year.

 

Infinite Iridescence


From Elysian fields to Avalon's mist,

Our lips, like petals, gently kissed.

In this cosmic dance, we twirl and spin,

Two hearts, two bodies, joined within.

 

Forever more, our love will soar,

Beyond the sky, beyond the shore.

In life, in death, in joy, in strife,

We'll love each other, beyond this life.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

With International Non-Binary Day being celebrated this weekend (though it is technically the following week), I though I should prepare something different from my usual poetry.

I have edited this poem as someone mentioned they "baulked" at the tautology used in one of the couplets. To be fair
, I wrote this at around 2 AM this morning in an insomnia-induced session of hyperfocus.
