happy trans day of visibility to all my trans brothers, sisters, and other siblings. (and my girlfriend) hope you all have a good day today and all other days, just remember youre loved by many, myself included. feel free to dm me if you need someone to talk to ♡

i often find myself smiling like an idiot in public because the thought of my girlfriend makes me so happy.

i want to kiss my girlfriend at 12 since its new years eve but she lives too far.

my girlfriend made a playlist of songs that remind her of me, my heart.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get over how pretty your eyes are.

I try to find the words to describe how they make me feel,

but it’s always not quite right.

They aren’t just beautiful,

they’re actually magical

and i feel like a kid, using that word,

but it’s the closest i can get to the truth.

im ace but GURL U GOT ME DOUBTING IT

femininity is so awesome i love being a girl and i love girls

did i make the same mistake again?

the power that you hold

making me forget my name

for you, your smile, your sapphire eyes

i hope this time we will last longer

i hope this time the feeling in my stomach doesn’t disappear

i’ll try to make you feel alright

as though i didn’t break your heart

i’ll take you as you are this time

i’ll try not to hope for a fantasy

but you know, im a poet

and a dreamer

i’ll set the pace

and hope you’ll follow

i want to be closer to you

you make me feel like no one else has

the power that you hold

you’re magical

oh honey

how i want to hold you close

my heart longs for your fingers tangled in mine

once again im falling

please don’t break my shriveled heart

girls are very good and I am going to convince you why

• each girl uses a different shampoo scent that makes them smell good
• they have soft skin
• thick thighs for pillows
• cute faces to squish
• warm hands to hold
• cute baby voices when they see something cute (you, a dog, or a baby)
• they are clean
• precious
• cute
• tough
• every woman is beautiful
• cute nicknames
• cute laughs and smiles
• small texts that make you smile
• they always have the best date ideas
• they dream!!

not a single piece of poetry
can ever express the ache within my heart-

tongue tied

you see her in aphrodite herself

-to call them beautiful, is an understatement, for she holds the universe in their eyes

but you are a painting and i am a bystander
you are as beautiful as sappho, and i say this with candour
i stop and i stare, but i’m not the only one
your world does not revolve around me for i am not the sun

i just remembered that i attempted to translate “salve regina” to filipino in early 2019. i don’t usually write in filipino, so this is the best i could do.

my winning suite, “neither nothing nor forgotten”, in the 2019 gémino h. abad literary awards is included in the special issue on gémino h. abad by the journal of english studies and and comparative literature. my poems are about queer desire.

you cant convince me that pinning your girlfriend to the wall isnt attractive

i want to dance with her in our kitchen with our song playing in the background, just enjoying her company.

oh, to watch anime together..

we should kiss under the mistletoe on christmas
