People think of love as a romance,
A never-ending dance,
I think of it as a blissful abyss,
Always, and yet never can it miss,
Naked hugs, warm hands, a drugging kiss,
Fear not, my dear human, for tis,
Is thy promised bliss, (an abyss).

From the outside, it's a welcoming haven,
For many reasons is it craven,
Yet it has parts darker than the feathers of a raven,
"Come forward, take from my riches, drink my wine,
For tis is quixotically, neverendingly divine,
You can claim this heavenly land, call it thine,"
Yet love stabs you with a prickly vine,
That goes by many names, nothing ever less divine,
Heartbreak, heart ache, treachery, and many more
Unspoken names.

And then the depression begins, darker than death,
Barely are you able to draw, a breath,
And then it starts, the craze,
Everywhere, you start seeing their face,
Your emotions, each feels like a darned maze,
And then they say, "It's just a phase,"
And yet each memory feels like a tase,
And your love, it withers, decays,
Life starts to feel like a ******* haze,
It starts feeling like a bunch of bays,
What boat to take to escape, to flee,
People start asking, "How can we help thee?"
Even though I'm not even me,
And dear human, so you see,
Love is nothing but a key, to discover, to see,
How you really can be.
craving feedback, positive and negative!

And I think I love an orange boy
But I think I like an lemon girl
Yet a little lime like me
Is a bit too citrusy
To have either of them like me back

And I think I want some lemonade
But I think I’d like some OJ
Yet my lime’s not sweet it’s sour
So hour after hour
They just leave me alone to sleep

Her
I need you the way the sky needs the sun
I need you here with me, hon
From you’ll I’ll never run
Our adventure has just begun

Sapphires in your eyes
They Show me no lies
In you, I am mesmerized
You brought to me clear skies

In what I adore
Whether not or more
Whatever’s in store
I’ll be yours, forevermore

This vessel shivers
under all of the heavy fabric
while the mind hopes for
something so sapphic

Make this vessel yours
free it from the mean fabric
make it yours to protect, yours to touch
add a little of your warmth
you know just how much

You make me
wanna write poems about you
You have been on my mind for so so long
probably because you were honestly
one of the most handsomest men
I've ever met in my life
that was so so my type
and the funniest thing was
that at the time
I never realized that
We met in Jerusalem
I thought you were gay
because you were so beautiful
the most gorgeous hair
the most beautiful eyes
that I could get lost in
forever
the most beautiful  earrings
we sat on the bed
in your room with all your plants
and pleasured me
I dream of you all the time
we sat on my bed and spoke about
concioussness in hebrew
it seemed fluent on my tongue
when I was with you
I held your curls close to my face
carrassed your hair
stared into your eyes
with lashes so long
you walked to me barefoot
and asked me how you looked
and I told you handsome
you are always so handsome I said
it seemed fate brought us togehter
how weird that was.

You told me how beautiful I was
and that you didn't need anything from me
just to hold me and kiss me
maybe it was because eventhough
you were probably a bit of a player
you showed me that a man can be
romantic sweet and a pretty boy
who is deep
and that people like you exist
so I don't know what this poem is about
but I wander about you
so much
I hope maybe we will meet again
in another metaverse
or down the streets of Florentine
or Dizengoff Telaviv
I wander what that would be like
I love the pretty boys
I try to convince myself
that I am always just gay
but I gotta admit
I love the pretty boys
the ones who are deep kind
have a great fashion sense
and love to strum a guitar
the men that I was always taught not to like
that they weren't "man" enough
but to me they are
because I think real men are kind
loving sweet and beautiful .

I see so many ads now
they feed into my insecurities
and help me to notice everything that is wrong with me.

"Got stretch marks?"
they ask, and my eyes shamefully
trace down my chest to my inner thighs and I learn to hate what I see.

So I read on, hoping to learn
how to get rid of the natural signs of an ageing vessel
"Neosporin, coconut oil, and olive, and they'll be gone in a week."

The ads proclaim, and so I do as they say
because how can I be pretty
if no one else thinks me so?

"10 Tips on How to Get the Relationship of Your Dreams"
"5 Signs that You're Not as Pretty as You Think You Are"
"4 Things to Try to Spice Up Your *** Life"

"1 Way to Tell Whether the Creepy Old Man on the Corner Thinks You're Worthy of Being Catcalled by Him"

I read on, trying to understand what it is to be pretty
but the more I see,
the more hopeless I become

Men will only ever see me as a piece of meat,
just a pair of **** and an ***,
only there for their enjoyment or pleasure.

but I am not here to make things easy,
I am more than the sum of my parts,
more than my cellulite and hip dips

I revel in my stretch marks
I have grown into the woman I am today,
and I refuse to erase the proof of that.
I am not here to be a ******* incubator. I am not here for man's pleasure.
