Christmas is coming! Let’s dance and sing with plenty of joy we can bring! Tonight is Christmas Eve! I love seeing the fireworks! I have never heard them though, I’m Deaf. I love our Deaf community! That’s who I’m spending Christmas with. All of my friends. And my Deaf partner, Rae! I sign to my partner:

« I love you. Merry Christmas! »

They laugh.

« It isn’t Christmas yet, my love! »

I sign back ...

Ripped apart

Limb from limb

Flesh falls to the ground

Blood spreads within

Eyeballs pop out

Soaked in blood

Guts tumble forth

Caked in mud

Head sliced

Fingers and toes

Your blood is the colour

Of a fresh red rose

Nails teared off

Bones splintering

Tendons and muscles snap

Burns blistering

Frostbite ice

Fire of doom

Blustering winds

It’s your turn soon....

words

bubble up

like

soda pop...

If wishes fell like rain

Then certainly I am a storm

If wishes fell like pain

Then certainly I am agony

If wishes fell like blood

Then certainly I am dark red

If wishes fell like mud

Then certainly I am in filth

If wishes fell like love

Then certainly I have found romance

If wishes fell like doves

Then certainly I am in a blanket of feathers

If wishes fell like strife

Then certainly I des...

Tears

Hugs

Love

Squeeze

Tight

Don’t let go

Say

Bye

For a long time

Don’t know

When

We’ll see each other again

Canada

Strange place

I don’t want to go

Heidi

I’ll miss you

Don’t let me go

England

I love you

Let me stay

I’ll miss

Everything

Everyone

The rain

School

Happiness

My friends

My family

My life

I’m leaving

I’ve left

I’m gone

This is actually the real story of a part of my l...

Dance is the moonlight reflected on the lake

Dance is the starlight sprinkled on the snow

Dance is the rainbow glistening with colour

Dance is the darkness and light below

Dance is the grace of a pure white swan

Dance is the energy of a young puppy

Dance is the fierceness of a bold lion

Dance is the craziness of a rabid chimpanzee

Dance is the curve of the doll’s soft cheek

Dance is the cut of ...

i stare at you

your dainty musician’s fingers

your sharp angular face

your everlasting gaze

through bright starry eyes

i found love

maybe

though it’s hard to tell

perhaps

our

secluded heart still searches

i wonder

i ponder

i peruse the question

of whether

you like me back

Unrequited....

*This is a poem with nothing to do with the prompt, I wanted to write this*

Where do I even start?

The amount of struggles

The amount of hope

I’ll start with the struggles

I have been misgendered

On purpose and by accident

I have struggled to speak

To say who I am

I try

I try

I try

I try

Finally, I say it

Finally, I come out

Finally, I can talk

It’s hard as heck

But I manage

I get curves

The sun was shining and the sky was ocean blue. The grass was neon green and the fluffy white clouds sprinkled the sky.

LRRH (little red riding hood) tripped and spun into the fields of grass and flowers. She picked a fat bundle of sweet smelling colours and skipped to her grandma’s cottage. In her basket, she also had lovely and warm homemade chocolate chip cookies.

“Granny! Granny! Look what I ...

She whispered into my ear

“Aria is gay”

I found someone to whisper to

I whispered

“Aria is gay”

That person whispered to another person who whispered to someone else who whispered to someone else who whispered to someone else

“Aria is gay”

Soon the entire school buzzed and hummed with a whisper

“Aria is gay”

The whisper was heard

By Aria

Then she started a whisper

“Aria’s name is Timothy. His pro...
