i am the ashes
of my flames
whose firewood
i became
which minced me
as i was an ax
holded
by my hands
which burned me
until i searched
cooling
in my ashes
Ashes, Erich Fried

holy word preached in rebuke:
how only the good angels be deserving
of sacred exaltation and devotion
but never warned of a rosy sin
who sweetly beckons just the same—
dear fawn, how you've been bewitched
by silver song of the devil at the pulpit
revealing the true nature of human need
to you, who now recognizes her own
in swells of heat, threatening to unchain
the restraints of obsolete teachings;

I used to dream
about a person
who's features
never carried
over with me
in the morning.
I couldn't tell you
what they looked like,
sounded like,
or anything in
relation,
but I can tell you what
it was like
to be in love
with them.
It was foriegn,
but not strange.
I was cozy and safe,
right at home
by their side.
It was to be
full of embers,
and magnatism,
to be a moth
drawn to flame;
so innate,
so inhesitent,
with such a perfect,
quiet
mind.
They were almost hypnotic
with how they had me
hanging
onto their every word.
They knew exactly what to say,
what to do,
effortlessly giving and
endearing,
leaving no room
to question
their love.
To wake from those dreams
was to wake in
grief.
I would cry and ache
with loss.
I thought it was strange
to feel this way over
a silly, little dream
until I met them.
I try not to think
too superstitiously,
but sometimes I find it
harder than I think
I should.
I think I've met
the person
from my dreams.
Elated as I am,
there's still something
missing.
I feel
I'm in the right place
with nothing but my fear
holding me back.
They don't let me feel bad
for my anticipation.
To them,
it makes sense.
They don't push me inward,
so I stumble after them
on unsteady legs,
still a little seasick
from my past
because
I want to abandon this fear,
and find freedom in my love,
so that I may sink into
what I already know
I'm capable of.
-A love unshackled by fear

Piece I did for class years and years ago. Still one of my favorites— I don’t draw animals a lot, but I drew and painted a lot of tigers in college for some reason.
The brief here was to to make something based on a poem or song. You know I had to rep my guy Nael, Age 6

Entanglements, attachments
And some assembly required
The only way out is through
Nobody remembers you
The way that I do

Dinner
The clock struck twelve and there came the toll of the bell.
It world rattled and shook as everything went dark.
The air lacked the scent of smoke, the feel of heat.
The void was absent, darker than charcoal I once knew.
I was tired and felt as though I was fevered.
Shame really, I never did get dinner.
It was going to be fried chicken, my favorite.
We had the sink ready just in case it happened again.
I waited patiently upstairs.
It smelled so good, then so burnt.
It got bright again.
The void was no more.
I was no more.

I was looking up poems for a fic I'm planning about an unfrozen and cured Nora meeting Victors new "friends" - the other Rogues, mostly Scarecrow, Riddler, Two-Face and the Sirens, but other names like Mad Hatter, Anarky, Bane and Man Bat are mentioned, besides other cold based villans who just aren't from Gotham - and I discovered "Fear" by Sarah Teasdale and it just fits Jonathan soo well. It's a bit on the nose. But is still perfect for him. Now I'm headcannoing it as his favorite poem.

please just like me
I always find myself chasing after the other kids, pretending I was invited to play Cops and Robbers. Maybe if I pretend hard enough one day they'll ask me to play, I'll do whatever it takes, I'll play extra nice, remember all their names, bring cookies to school, do their homework.
fake it until you make it, I'll pretend it doesn't hurt when I find myself left out when asked to get into pairs.
even if its superficial I don't actually care, as long as I have a big group around me. I'll do anything for their praise, just a hint of doubt in how they perceive me and I'm a dog at their feet. the idea of being hated feels like being stabbed, that knife is covered in salt. I can tell you that there's no pain like it.
everyday i'll wake up and climb this desire like its a rock face, ill do it with no safety gear too! it'll make me look cooler and maybe they'll like me better.
pulling my limbs in knots, arching backwards making life easier for everyone but me. I wonder why Im so tired at the end of the week, checking in with everyone, making sure they're okay
but they'll never send me a get well soon.

“It looks like everyone is busy running around planning dates, making chocolate or starting new singularities but, in case no one has told you yet...”
You aren’t the love of my life,
life is so short
to limit what I feel for you.
You are the love of my eternity,
of my universe,
time and space.
You aren’t the love of my life
because my life stopped being mine
from that moment
when I told you “I love you!”

das ist
