I want to read about romance,
about two peoplebodyssouls
finding each other.
Unnaturally.
Impossibly.
Really.
Spelled out in clean letters,
in blood and ink and tears.

Writing is my temple,
and reading my idolatry.

So maybe if I
read of love enough,
it'll find me.

Maybe if I
read of sweat and tears and hearts enough,
I'll know it when it walks me by.

Maybe.

Not in My Size. [tw: trans* issues]

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” You voice is soft, hesitant. I know you’re unsure about it. I know you’re out of your comfort zone. I know. Thank you for doing it anyway. I lace my fingers through yours. “Nope, but can we try it anyway?” You squeeze my hand. We walk into the store. Pale white mannequins look ridiculous to me, daunting to you, their size two bodies modeling sheer and garish. Judgment radiates from their headless faces. They call me fat. They call you something far worse. ‘Male’ We take our time, holding up this piece or that, mocking horror more frequent then honest consid

Coming to Terms - Chapter one

Hey there, glad you could make it. It isn't often you humans trust a Vura. What do you call us? Sirens? Oh, never mind. Let us start with introductions. It would do for you to know who I am, as this will be a long tale and will require several meetings between us. I am Meloku deNysa, a member of the Serkan family. Ah, no need to introduce yourself. I already know who you are. Now, for my story. Myth and legend both tell us that a hero's story starts with an unusual birth. This should have told me from the start that my sister would be such. After all, I carried her. No, she is not my daughter. I am, to this day, what you would call a vir

Unconventional

Garry kept fiddling with a loose thread on his leather jacket. Laura had warned that she’d be late. She always ran late for everything. It was a social anxiety trait she got from her mother. Garry still worried, though. He looked down at his watch, then flipped open his phone to see if he had missed a call or a text message. That’s when she snuck up on him. “Oh goodness. You scared me, Laura,” Garry said while clutching his hand over his chest. Laura’s face broke into the smile that he loved so much from her pictures. “Garry, it’s so good to finally see you in person,” she said,

Tidepool

Esmae’s arms shook. She craned her neck back, teeth clenched as she searched for another handhold on the sheer rock face. With a grunt, she reached up, but her other hand lost its grip on the slick rock. She slipped, lurching back to avoid scraping herself. She hit the water with a splash and let herself sink below the surface, her tail flicking with frustration. The storm that ravaged the shoreline had ended far sooner than she was prepared. If she had noticed the waves were receding, she wouldn’t have gotten stranded in the tidepool, encaged on all sides by craggy rocks. It was humiliating. She’d never heard tales of oth

Mesmerizing

"Nngh… Esmae?" Daniel felt as though he was coming out of a vivid dream he couldn't shake. Determined to hold on to sleep, he heaved a great sigh, burying his face in his folded arms. The memories were muddled and odd--a lovely miniature woman in a mulberry dress, witch contracts, missing fairy wings--but he was too drowsy to decipher it all. A faint soreness throbbing on his back finally dragged him from the arms of sleep. He was not in his bed, but hunched rather uncomfortably over a desk and using an open book as a pillow. Peering past his arms, he blinked blearily at his surroundings. Of the candles gathered at the edge of the des

Makeshift Medic

If Xander didn’t make it back to his room on the bus by 4 AM, that typically meant he didn’t plan on sleeping that night. It was nearly dawn, and Grayson hadn’t gotten a wink of sleep. It wasn’t that he was worried about what Xander was doing—he was a rockstar on tour, what could anyone expect? No, Grayson’s uneasiness came from having the room to himself. Intimidating as Xander’s presence could be, having him around was a safeguard. A drunken roadie could stumble into the room to harass him. Or maybe a rabid fan looking for Micah. Laying back on the pillow, Grayson kneaded his temples. He was being paranoid. There was twenty-four-hour security keeping an eye on the troop of tour vehicles. But would anyone bother to intervene if it was a print who was in the danger? The door burst open. A figure stumbled into the dark room. Sleep-deprived and wired as he was, Grayson shouted in alarm and scrambled to the corner of his pillow. Then he froze up, his heavy breathing beginning to

Rabbit

“Let me go!” If Xander hadn’t been passing the doorway at that moment, he wouldn’t have heard Grayson’s frantic voice. He’d heard Grayson sound nervous plenty of times, but never so frightened. Xander bolted into the room, gripping the doorframe tightly with one hand as he assessed what was going on. A man in a black t-shirt held Grayson around the middle. His arms were pinned to his sides, and his legs kicked fiercely. It was never lost on Xander how small prints were, but he had gotten used to Grayson and Everly’s casual presence. Seeing Grayson handled so carelessly made Xander lock up in silent rage. “I’m telling you—I work for the band!” Grayson’s words came through gasping breaths. He couldn’t fucking breathe. “I was j-just looking for a quiet place to get work done before the show—” “Shut your fucking mouth,” the man snapped. “Next time you talk, I want the goddamn truth.” “Hey!” Xander didn’t shout, but his tone was enough to make the man turn around with a start. “The

stormchaser

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

This is a companion to [link] Love Songs.

A bit less polished, a bit more raw. All true. Maybe.

Perhaps I'll refine it. My muse is glaring at the though, so maybe not. Anyeitherway, enjoy.
