Romance as Defined by an Aro: A Poem
Romance for me is only what it is not;
it is the opposite of an absence of feeling in my chest,
it is clouds full of quiet, cool rain that wash over
the blue skies that normally soar through me.
If romance is that perfect temperature
at which you neither feel hot nor cold
I only know it when it has passed,
when a cool breeze ruffles me and pops gooseflesh
on my arms: but here's the thing:
as someone always overheated,
cold is a comfortable state for me.
I think so many would look at how I define romance:
emptiness, black instead of color, cold, rain -
and see something sad and bleak,
where I see only comfort and coziness.
I've always turned my face to the rain and smiled,
found cold refreshing and energizing,
found black soothing in the face of overstimulation -
emptiness is not an apartment where I have to work around
the walls all in my way,
but a place I can build my own home
in a shape that suits me.
I know romance when it visits
a guest in my anarchic home,
for the familiar and dear sight
of its otherwise empty chair.
I am faceblind to it,
but I know where it sits,
and so recognize it when by choice I invite it in.
They say if you love something set it free,
my romance is not chained to me
but wanders far and wide,
a free spirit like me.
Were it one day to never return,
that would not be a failed relationship,
but one I would cherish having had.
Not a commitment; a choice.
I am a strange aro
half-in, half-out,
with romance a rare visitor,
but one that has come inside.
I know it by its absence,
a set of shoes not by the door,
a toothbrush missing from my sink,
a coat they take from the hook to keep them warm.
My relationship with romance
is anything but amatonormativity.
And its familiar absence
is dear to me.

nothing beats the ship dynamic of “hissy black cat and his loyal golden retriever bf”
I eat that shit up every. single. time.

I want to learn to draw so I can draw my partner's face
I want to learn to paint so I can capture the color of her eyes and hair in sunlight
I want to learn to sculpt so I can show her how beautiful her body is
I want to learn to photograph well so I can show her the her that my eyes see
I want to learn to compose so the notes can carey my feelings to her
My sunshine is the highest form of art. I just want to learn how to show it to her too.
