When love returns to knock my door,
May it be truer than before.
God-sent, secure, a steady flame,
With gentle touch and no cruel game.

A love that’s safe, yet wild and pure,
Genuine, lasting, strong, and sure.
Reassuring in both word and deed—
The kind of love my soul will need.

I'm happier now
That I've moved on
Happier now
That I'm not stewing
Happier now
Because you're not
Abusing me
****** me
Happier now
Because I'm not with you
Happier now
Because I feel **** again
Happier now
Because I don't feel guilty
For staying with
Someone I don't love
Happier now
Because I don't have to
Pretend anymore
Happier now
Because you've moved out and gone
Happier now
Because I'm finally free

Gotta pull my hair back
But can't look too masculine
When I get on my knees
To **** his ****
Let the black mascara run
Down my pink cheeks
As I think about
Everything but this moment
He says he likes what he sees
He likes what he feels
My thighs are aching
****, no teeth
Well...maybe a little
Not like I'm gonna get anything
Probably sore knees and
A mouthful of ****
That tastes like bleach
I'll cry about it later
Have to finish strong
So he can finish strong
And prove the patriarchy
Really loves a ****
Who will get on her knees
Not a strong woman
Who stands on her feet

I'm sitting in
My slice of the world
Writing ****** love poems
Waiting for you
To text me back
But my anxiety
Tells me you never will
I write ****** love poems
Filled with the things
I want to say to you
But I'm too afraid
To say them
Because what if
You don't feel
The same way?
What if
You find
Someone else?
What if
I'm just
A placeholder?
Until you find
What you're actually
Looking for
Meanwhile I'm
Just sitting here
In my slice of the world
Writing ****** love poems
Hoping
You'll ****** text me back

You love
My rolls
And my curves
And my lumps
And my scars
I don't know why
But
You do

You kiss my cheek
And my forehead
And my fingertips
And my lips
I don't know why
But
You do

You desire my mind
And my soul
And my body
I don't know why
But
You do

You hold my hand
And my waist
And my face
And my hips
I don't know why
But
You do

You want me
And need me
And crave me
And yearn for me
I don't know why
But
You do

What do you love about him?

I love everything about him.

His eyes,
His smile,
His beard,
His tummy
.

I love it all

But in all honesty,
I don't think it's the features themselves that I adore
Its that these features are his
It's why I love them

I loved how he looked when we were sixteen

His eyes,
His smile,
His long hair,
His one eyebrow


I loved it all

And in another decades time
When life goes on, and we change with the seasons

When his eyes wrinkle,
When his smile grows more crooked,
When his hair begins to grey,
When his whole being ages


I'll continue to adore every single thing
Simply because they are all part of him

I'll continue to love him, and his everything
Perhaps even more than I do now
.
Maybe I should put this in our wedding vows someday ahaha
Ya hachu skazat— ya ochin tupoy.
Ya ni znayu kak nayti ma-yo zutdba.
Moy Bog. post budit Chronie Chelovek, kak eta krasivya Luna.
Ya magu begat.
Ya magu mnogo sdelat'.
Ya adeen chelovek, chto lubit Chornaya Luna.

I want to say— I am very stupid.
I do not know how to find my own destiny.
My God, let it be a Black Person, like a beautiful Moon.
I can run.
I can do a lot.
I am one person, who loves the Black Moon.
Confessional. A deep confessional.
I can feel the heat                              
                              ­                                                                           
 Coming from your fire                                    
                                                                  
my heart skips a beat                                                                          ­                                                       
  I am burning with desire                                                                        ­

         ­                                                                 ­                                            
    As our fingers intertwine,                                                                                          ­                                                     
I can't even breathe                                                                   ­                                                      
I can smell your scent                                                                       ­                                                    
 It smells so good to me                                                                    ­                                                
You are heaven sent                                                                      ­                                               
This is meant to be                                                                    ­                                                  
Let me hold you near                                                             ­                                                                                                                          ­                                      
Feel your strong embrace                                                                                ­           
  Whisper in your ear                                                                         ­                                    
My breath on your face                                                                      ­                                  
Want to feel your touch       
                                                                                  ­

     Will accept nothing less                                                                      ­                                             
   Want to taste your lips                                                                             ­                                                
   Run my hands over you                                                                    ­                                                
   How could I resist                                                                      ­                  
The fire inside you

Your curls have my fingers
So tight they won't let go

I could live here, hands on your head,
myself, your cargo.

Take me far away from here,
Around this great blueberry.

I'll ride high on your shoulders,
Or walk when you get wary.

At night, sleep, face up to the moon,
Your scalp set in my palms.

I'll tell you things about the stars,
my gentlemen in arms.
This one is about being with someone you can have adventures with
