Poem: My Bird.

My Bird, written 7/8/2021. A poem inspired by my therapist. We have a strong connection so I really felt called to write this. Also she has a thing about birds, I can't think about birds without thinking about her.

On flapping wings she flies to my rescue.

Zipping and darting about, she zeroes in on the important details one might miss otherwise.

A hand reaches out "Follow me, let's journey together" a voice says.

So hand in hand we walk, I lead she follows close behind with a flutter and a voice of reason.

I may be the Leader but she is my steadfast General, the kind one can turn to in the heat of battle when it all becomes too much.

She saves me a seat and we sit in rest together.

Introduction.

Welcome to my writing nook! I wanted a place to post my writing and to keep it all in once place. My writing is very personal and emotional, lots of flowing words and filled with magic. I hope some of it resonates with you. There may be some occasional adult themes so warning for that. I will say if there is any trigger or content warnings in the beginning of a post so you can be warned beforehand. If you need something tagged please let me know, I want people to be safe (and know what they are getting into).

Poem: Loki.

Loki, written 6/30/2021. Inspired by the character Loki (MCU). Why do you weep, oh little one? For your ears are sharp, your heart full, your head wreathed in gold. Mischief follows like a shadow, both yours and of nature. You cannot help it, for nature becomes you. The role you play is your own despite the forces that try and claim you as that which you are not. Mischief and folly and mistakes, falling down, feet finding their way, making amends, triumph and glory at the success of finding you. What makes a You a You? The answer, my slippery one, has always resided in your heart. But I cannot tell you, that you must search for yourself. A dagger it may be, but you are the one wielding it. A dagger you may be, but there are those willing to take the risk.  To trust The Trickster.

Poem: Dance With Me.

Dance With Me, written 7/1/2021. Inspired by dance scenes in period movies. Usually these parties are dull, but not tonight. Something is different, my energy taunt with need. The music swells, strings fast and dramatic. The swish of long gowns and tailcoats, a clink of precious gems set in gold. A large warm hand on my waist, my hand held like a priceless treasure. Eyes meet wide with longing, a conversation said with no words. Breath quick but soft. In public we can't… I want to… later Dear… On and on we go, swinging in circles around the room like a bird fluttering in a cage. Confined by social rules but not for long.  Whispers carry but we care not, lost in our own world of connection.  Do we hate? Do we love? Are they one in the same? Our feelings bind us regardless.
