A wolf stands at the edge of a road
Cars come and go, rushes of color reflect on her eyes.
He waits patiently to cross, but the road never settles.
Asphalts stench fills theirs nose, but they still wait.
Green antennae scan the earth from a U.F.O, waiting for an opportunity to show itself.
Cars crawl below their vehicle, and it grows impatient
Where are the life forms!? Only metal monsters roam below.
Perhaps intelligent life had been wiped out
A warm glint catches their eyes, and they lower.
A new scent fills the wolves nose.
Sterile
Clean
Unnatural
Like a human hospital, but different.
He looks up.
They see nothing.
She feels everything.
A figure emerges from the invisibility.
Unearthly, but natural
Inhuman, but humane
A 3 finger hand extends,
And a muzzle follows.
They cross the road together.
The alien had noticed their needs
and decided to help.
They both had a common enemy after all.
Over the cars, flying above
landing on the hill past the concrete strip.
It saw the wolf transform,
and he saw the alien transform.
Two “humans” sit on a hill.
Hand in hand,
under the same sky.
Who knows how long this moment will last,
but for now I’m glad you’re mine.
The average human is NT
The average human is Cishet
The average human is Okay
The average human is human
I am none of these things So why would I live the average human lifespan?
Does it feel? It goes along in life,
It disguises itself like you or I,
but it’s not.
An imposter
It only feels when forced too.
What is real joy,
for a non-human.
How long can I wait,
for joy?
for independence?
for contentment?
How long must I wait for you?
Your green eyes pierce my heart.
Your coral hair entangles my mind.
I need you.
You need me.
I miss you.
You miss me.
I love you.
Would you love me?
How can I wait so long,
and survive?
(Randy)
The love of our hearts
despite being apart
Proves that no matter what
you'll never stop being my turtle dove
The sound of your voice
The rustle of your bow
All reminders of what I'm working for
We're one, and we're loved
I didn’t know one could heal
could learn and grow and be free.
I was trapped
So hurt and lost.
I thought I was done.
It’s been a year without you.
I didn’t even notice
I’m still alive
I’ve healed
I hope you’ve healed too.
(I used song lyrics for this poem)
Phone aglow in my hand, I saw your messages reflected in my eyes,
in horror of the worst possible outcome for you.
At that moment I had realized how I’d cared for you
the moment I knew I’d no choice to love you.
My love for you grew every day,
and it forced me to confront why I couldn’t love you
.
Your venom burns your insides,
and it’ll destroy my mouth.
and at that’d moment I knew deep down,
it’s hard to be lonely, but it’s the right thing.
especially between us.
My head fills with your voice
and it gives me a revelation for this moment.
Maybe your toxin could be cured.
We’d be happy!
You’ve been better before, after all.
Maybe you could be more than what you are now.
If you weren’t, however, I wouldn’t mind,
because even so, some day, I’m sure we’ll understand each other.
No matter the wait.
I can't breathe.
the vast expanse of space surrounds and intrudes on me
I've been this way my whole life
an aching emptiness inside of me, life just out of reach
one day, a beautiful woman slowly leads me to earth
every grasp on my hand leaving a bruise
we fall in love
and we fall out of love.
I'm thrust into earths atmosphere, every nerve on fire
my emptiness is filled with a pulsating, burning mass that stretches every part of me
I'm left in a crater on earths surface
writhing in pain and hurting every being with life in it's mere presence
I can't breathe.
two kind men find me, and lift me out of my hole
warm sunlight caressing my skin for the first time
they help me, and I help them
my burns mere scars, and my bleeding wounds gone
instead of emptiness or everything, I'm left with the suns glow
I can breathe.
