Troubled by Love

Hold me tight

Hold me close

Keeping hushed words

For only the two of us

Youthful lovers

Within each other's grasp

Losing grasp

Chests tight

These young lovers

Are very close

Don't force us

Over the edge with your harsh words

People have hateful words

Just keep our grasp

We get to decide what's good for us

Hugs so tight

We're so close

Honey, I love that we're lovers

Down deep in the soul of lovers

There are secret whispered words

That keep them close

Hands grasp

Hearts intertwine tight

Planting roots for us

It's up to us

As we are queer lovers

To stand tall with our holding hands tight

Block out their words

Don't let them grasp

Don't let them in too close

We're almost there, we're so close

Come on, the two of us

Have almost done it with each in our grasp

We know as lovers

Loving words

Can make bonds tight

We young lovers hold each other tight

Our words whispered for only us

We grasp at each to hold ourselves close

Gender and The Body

I often look at my body

And hate it

I hate the curves

And the bumps

I hate that it chains me to girl

I hate when people say I'm beautiful

I just want to be handsome

I hate that I'll always be seen as a she

I feel guilty

For my lover

Who didn't know for a while

That my gender changes

Like tides of the ocean

I'm confused

I know that I'm

Genderfluid

But it can be difficult

Sometimes I love my body

And sometimes not

I just need support

Please just use something else

I'm not a she

Or a her

Just a they

Following the words

Whispered by the flowing tides

Falling Apart

Legs wobble

Chest tight

Arms shaking

Head spinning

I'm about to fall apart

My world crumbles

Out of my hands

Lost

Will it be found again?

Rebuilt again?

Everything that is me

Starts to tear

I try to hold it together

Failing

I just have to

Pick the pieces back up

Again

And many more

Times after

Ocean Tide

The tide drifts in and out. Barely anything disturbs the ocean water. It is as still as I've ever see it. Just on the horizon, the sun is dipping down letting the moon have its turn in the sky. The sunsets are always so beautiful. 

My mind drifts just as the tides do. Slowly thinking from one thing to the next, very fluidly. Sometimes I wish I could leave this island. But it's a silly thought. No one could leave. No one is allowed to leave. It was too dangerous since most of the world was destroyed. At least, that's what they say. No place to go but here.

But still, I wish......

What is "knowledge?"

A Cup

I could use so many nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives; all manner of spelled out and printed verbiage, that I may know, to stretch this bit of words into a two hundred count. I assume that many may consider it a bit of cheating on my part, concerning the requirement of this challenge. However, I truly could not pass up a bit of personal philosophy on it.

Knowledge is just a simple cup. It can be held by a pauper or a king. It can be fashioned by any craftsman to hold much or to hold little. It can be roughly painted with no need to disguise its intended use and function or decorated with jewels, precious and semi-precious stones to be appealing, perhaps even deceiving to those who look on it. Still, like a cup, it is meant to be a tool; a most useful tool to be sure. Without such a vessel, would I not 'cup' my hand to scoop up sweet refreshing water to my thirsty mouth?

It's not so much, this "cup" called knowledge as what it holds; wisdom to life, conversely - foolishness to death. So then The few words I first wanted to convey

To quote Albert Einstein,

“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.”

one day

I would like to fall in love with someone

          Who does not know the mountains

                  But wants to.

I feel...

Safe around you,

I talk more,

Laugh more,

Stand my ground too.

Feel like,

I can do anything,

Absolutely anything! 

Anything!

I feel...

Amazing!

Crazy,

Like raising,

And raving!

Parading my skills,

Talents, beliefs,

Cravings released,

Like defeating,

My beasts and griefs!

I feel like its love.

Like...

I can't get enough,

Of you.

When your gone,

I think,

All I want is you.

When your here,

I'm happy,

Just me and you.

Everything's good,

When it's me and you.

Ache

Somehow this feeling

Looks just like

My mother’s eyes.
