Sapphic Seeking
Oh Freyja, take my heart
And shape it to a beacon
I long and crave their presence
Love, as I am seekingEmbraced in deepest night
Kissed in morning’s light
Laughter shared, and wishes known
Souls familiar as they’re grownSweet Gold Tear, see we meet
In gaze, touch, and beat
Such aching we have felt
For our love in which to meltHands held in comfort
Each a promise of protection
Hearts cradled close
With such rhythms of affectionI meet them when I sleep
Feel my desire held most deep
A longing I’ve long had
For this love so true and gladLove’s Lady, bless me so:
As I have dreamt, so will I know
A slumbered warmth beside me
Such blessed sapphic companyLike my work? Maybe buy me a mead
A love prayer to Freyja for me and all you other lovely, lonely sapphics ❤

A Lesson
Laugh.
Laugh at a stubbed toe, magically melt away the throb.
Laugh at tyrants for their follies and nightmares for their impermanence.
Laugh as the dawn slices through shadow and dust.
Laugh until your insides burn, set your body ablaze with unconquerable might.
Laugh with ink and keystroke.
Laugh with skill and abandon.
Laugh subversion into being and power into nothingness.
And most of all, laugh at yourself.
Laugh away the burden of your heavy crown.
Toss it into the mud with chortles and bury it with giggles erupting from your fiery chest.
For Fools alone can fly with avian lightness.
Laugh, laugh, laugh at yourself.
Give Me A God
Give me a god of endings
Give me the ruin-lord
Give me the god who lives between
The neck and falling sword.
Give me a god who shakes things up
Even when shackled down
Give me the eyes to see anew
The king inside the clown
Give me a god of sunrise
Spinning ashes into gold
For there’s hope in every winter night
And fortune for the bold
So one weird thing about being a polytheist is the love that you have for your gods. Like, I have absolute adoration for my deities. They are my friends, guides, guardians, teachers, comforters, protectors and family. Even just thinking of them puts me in a good mood. I am in no way trying to suggest that monotheists don’t have this with their deity, I’m just saying that to have this with a whole pantheon makes me feel like I’m part of an extended spiritual family, especially when I add in the fellowship of other polytheists. It’s hard to describe but it’s a wonderful feeling.
