Isometric lines defined the doorway, which I stood patiently in front of watching you pace glacially towards me. My perplexity as to what seemed colder in that moment, the sub-zero temperature I stood in or your leisurely walk, must have been salient on my face because you offered a penny for my thoughts when you let me in. I smirked and told you that that is a losing bargain I am willing to walk away from. You shrugged and smiled awkwardly. And there we stood, in the doorway, experiencing deafening silence while anxiously waiting for something to prompt the earthly ritual we both existed for. #reflectionsofaqueerman #words #wordporn #wordgasm #writers #writercommunity #writersnetwork #writersofinstagram #writersuniverse #globalwordsmiths #poetryhive #poetrynetwork #poetrycommunity #poetryofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #artlixirpoetry #heartsofpoets #wordswithkings #lgbtpoet #lgbt #queerpoet #queer #grindr #bymepoetry #bymepoetryamerica #untwineme #untwinecanada

Isn't it a shame we look at people as more than people? We try to make them greater beings, capable of more than mere humanly things — what we think we need to bring light to the dark. All we really need is a hand and a body to sloppily feel our way through the black haze. || #poem #poet #poetry #poetsofinstagram #writer #writersofinstagram(because these are automatically posted to my tumblr:) #poetsoftumblr #writersoftumblr #mypoem #mypoetry #mywriting #mywords #cngpoetry #words #love #lovepoetry #wellthisoneisjustkindof #donotgivesomeonepowerandreputationtheycannotliveupto #heartsofpoets @heartofpoets

Candles lit, blankets across the floor. We slipped into tranquil mindsets in preparation of nightly rituals once thought incapable of performing. The word “tired” is mentioned with a hint of reluctance. I gauge you by allowing you to lead, but you submit to the manifestation of my intimacy. Tense palms press against your skin. I apply pressure as if my soul is reaching out to yours. My fingertips sculpt your shape, memorizing your texture, tracing the edges of space you occupy. I tell you I am present in search of revival. You whisper that you only exist for pleasure. Acknowledging our variance, we settle into stillness breathing in momentary affection. #poetrynetwork #poetrycommunity #poetry #poetsofinstagram #wordgasm #wordporn #writersnetwork #writercommunity #writersofinstagram #writersuniverse #writers_den_ #untwineme #globalwordsmiths #lgbtpoetry #lgbt #wordswithkings #bymepoetry #bymepoetryamerica #reflectionsofaqueerman #heartsofpoets #poetryhive #gayguy #gaylove

Part 3 / 3 The spontaneous adventure is done and I get ready to go out into the night with one more memory for a bin I can’t seem to find. But you don’t let me. So we talk and discuss, continuing our exploration but through our mental spaces this time. And I start to feel a spark, one I’m terrified of cause I know what you want. I woke up to your text. It gave me hope, so I replied only to realize this is repetition of all the guys who leave me hanging. I know your type, I’ve seen it before. You’ll only go around giving attention when you’re expecting something from the world. #reflectionsofaqueerman #gaypoetry #lgbtpoetry #lgbt #wordporn #wordgasm #writers #writercommunity #writersnetwork #writersofinstagram #writersuniverse #poetry #poetsofinstagram #poetrycommunity #poetrynetwork #bymepoetry #bymepoetryamerica #untwineme #heartsofpoets #writers_den_
