because even when i don’t have you

you will still always have me.

"I WANT " / visual poem

like osseous fingers of a forest hag as she undulates in a bespelled trance around a bonfire,

or translucent green lashes of a siren as she hovers in that fog-wrapped realm of water and seaweed, her oceanite eyes brimming with untold tales...

kelp ribbons betwixt murkiness and light, swaying through liminal flow, shadowforms writhing into sun's echoes,

untranslated language rustling through each billowy strand.

you count the soft maybes, like little broken shells, you hold your own hands.

you open your chest, quiet tears fall in secret, you still say you’re fine.

you learn this at last, you cannot bargain to stay, you just choose yourself.

my freemercy design yeah his wing s are clipped

what does he look at

It's the daylight in the darkness

and the way you hold me-

embracing all my sharpness.

It's in the quiet hush

that follows our almost surrender,

when I ask softly, "What is love, anyway?"

and you slowly whisper my name

as if it were an answer.

It's in the way my words have become yours

and you silly little habits mine,

like kissing the top of our hands

when they accidently touch-

that way, we will never fight.

It's in the sweet nothings

or when we dance atop the counters,

it's in the way I smooth out the creases of your shirt

or the way you always hug me tighter.

It's in the warmth when you're near

and the burning of my heart when you're gone,

it's the patience of your silence,

despite the fact that I still don't know.

"What is love, anyway?"

I ask, and your smile grows wider.

Maybe it's the slow unraveling of my world

whenever I realize-

that my name remains your only answer.
