Thank you

For seeing yourself out
I wouldn’t have asked you to go

Thank you

For providing me your truth
Small glimpses have been shown

A lost boy
An inner child who never met themselves
A man shaped by small town and government
Told what to do for decades like Santa’s elves

I know the joy you brought me
An unending depth of presence when it was there
My favorite thing was eye gazing
And when you’d kiss me while grabbing my hair

It didn’t always feel equal
But it didn’t need to be
I got what I wanted when we were together
Everything except for you to see

See me
For the divine feminine I am
See me
For the lover and servant of your divine man

My presence is big
And we’ve started in different places
You were learning tactical shooting skills
While I was studying the brain and expressioned faces

I had to grow up quickly
Learn myself and navigate the world solo
You had a more relaxed childhood
Feeling adolescent still though

No need to hide to feel secure in privacy
Wanting to tell everything on a need to know
This isn’t the military, K
In love, all cards need to show

So one another can play the game
We get to decide the rules
All I wanted was a chance to play
Together deciding our fuels

What fuels us
Individuals and together
How can we stoke the fire
Then cuddle up in each other’s sweater

Enmesh
Entangle
Collide and interweave

Privileged to know myself
You’re still creating (not just learning) you
Now I must grieve

I love you, sweet man
More than you’ll ever know
I love you, K
May our truest of colors show

Take care of those kids
I know you will
Enough casual dating
For once, be still

Focus fiercely on the next you
I’ve already met him
Which is why it’s hard saying goodbye
I wanted to fill our cups to the brim

With support
With gratitude
With unconditional love

With transparency
With compassion
Prioritizing the collective above

It starts with conditions
Rules, boundaries, agreements
It ends with an expansive container
Clear as we unlock achievements

I haven’t written rhymes in months
You were my muse — both in ecstasy and distress
A desire to rough house and fuck
Cuddle, hold hands, and caress

No more
No more
Paths have diverged

No more
No more
How badly I wanted to merge

No more
No more
Now? I’m forced to purge

Right now
Right now
Engulfed in emotion, submerged

Soon to be
Soon to be
I’ll up-level, another surge

🤟🏾❤️🌀✨🍃

These poems serve two purposes… 1) The clarity they provide me. And the greatest reason I feel compelled to share.. 2) For you to experience the “we.”
