  • Alterous (a poem)

    post date: 2020-01-17 08:27

    So in my break time this week, I've been working on a few things for this page. Some of it might work, some of it might not. I'm kinda just experimenting. I tried making some diagrams and charts, but they were boring. I might look at making some videos where I talk about these subjects in my usual awkward manner (I am far more comfortable behind a camera than in front of one, something I should work on!) Anyway, here's a little taste of where my creative outlets are going, a short poem about my own thoughts on alterous attraction set on a neat stock photo I found, using an interesting colour palette I hope doesn't murder the eyes of any colour-blind folx reading the page.

    Is this a crush? Is it a squish? Both? My mind is swirling.
    Confusing and conflicting, befuddled brain awhirling.
    
                  Maybe there’s no name for it, these feelings I live with.
                  If I don’t know, then how can you? No answers I can give.
    
    If I send mixed messages, that wasn’t my intention.
    I’m trying not to overwhelm, overstay my welcome.
    
            So bear with me, while I stay in quiet introspection.
            All I know, is friendship is, my most treasured of connections.
