#asexual poetry

[inksoda]

I don't want romance. I don't want to be in love.

I want someone I can tell everything to, who I always trust with every part of me, no matter how ugly or broken.

I want someone who I can hold, but who will never kiss me. Who will hold me just to feel my heartbeat against their's.

I want to be wholly understood and to completely understand another.

I want to be so close to a person that I don't know where I end and they start, but who will never touch me but to hold my hand and know I'm there.

I want to whisper secrets on a roof under the starts and laugh, freely and innocently.

I want someone who will be there for me, forever and until the end, as I will be there for them, until the day I die.

I want to always know I'm not alone, that I'm someone's person, as they are mine.

I don't want romance, but I want. I want so much from you.

I'm an Android don't you see, here to explain all about the birds and the bees, the only problem is that to me, I've always found it more interesting if we, instead of enjoying our honeys, saved a bit of our time and money, for there's so much more to life don't you see.

We could spend our downs down by the bay, find the untraveled path to stray, dance in circles beneath the sun's rays, and generally live in the life of today.

But I'm an android you can now see, though I suppose you don't need to know about the birds and bee, because your affection comes out easily, so the only problem left is me.

We Belong

We are told many things We are told we can’t be human We are told we don’t belong We are told there is no place for us We are told there is no love for us We even tell these things to ourselves (We especially tell these things to ourselves)

We are told we are dangerous We are told that us breathing is toxic to the world We are told our stories have no worth We are told we have no value We are told to get over it We are told we deserve this abuse We are told we do not exist We are told to stay quiet We are told to stop fighting We are told to pick a side (We’ve always had a side, though they refuse to see it)

We are told we don’t deserve boundaries We are told we love wrong We are told we don’t love at all We are told that we’re cracked and broken We are told we aren’t normal We are told we are an abomination We are told we don’t feel We are told we are death (We sometimes would rather be those things than what we are)

But none of those words None Are ours

We are Asexual We are Aromantic We are a rainbow across a spectrum We are love and life and so much more

We do exist We are valuable We are human We are whole We will fight back We will be ourselves We will make you uncomfortable We will not give into society We will not be “normal“ We will love And be loved And find home And find safety And you Cannot Stop Us

Had a bit of a nasty run-in with someone being a jerk about aspec identities a couple days ago, and what better revenge is there than art? I actually forgot I had written this poem earlier this year until I saw it was ace week on my feed wHOOPS It’s not my best work, I feel like it’s easy to see I wrote it as a week poet, but I would like to give my middle finger to the world and society to the world and its shittiness toward us, and this is me doing that :3 I hope you enjoyed if you read it!

my love is no wildfire

it is not the burning scorching hot desire described in poems or novels nor is it the all-consuming scandalous passion that makes people marvel at the strength of an infatuated lover

my love is more subtle, quieter

it is how my heart’s feathering dance quickens the moment someone walks in the room it is the wish to know each crevice and corner of their mind and for them in turn to see and love each part of my flawed and broken insides

they say my love isn’t true because there is no primal attraction, but what is love if not a wish for emotional connection?

The Ace’s Letter

Take me back to the night we met.

The words that used to make me feel so loved and cherished now make my skin crawl with the underlying manipulation that wound beneath your words, unknown to me, and maybe unknown to you.

I want to look back in fondness, but all I feel is deceit.

Deceit unto what you really desired from me was my body, my soul, the vessel that I was unable to impart upon you, but try I did. I tried and tried, I tried to enjoy I tried to believe that what you felt for me was anything beyond lust, fulfilling shallow curiosity as to what it was like to touch a confused body.

Take me back to the night we met, where nothing was known, where you and I were new.

And when I was not afraid.

cold wall

is what I'm near

not saying thats what you are

its just what it feels like when I'm kissing you

I love you,

but when we are together

I dont feel anything

but I know you do

because I care for you

I want you to be happy

when you kiss me

ill smile and pretend it makes me so glad

pretend I'm not disgusted

and that I'm a normal person

figure out why this is a thing people like to do

right now I don't understand it

and when I say

"I promise I care for you"

I really truly do

or else I wouldn't be kissing you

do any of my friends know the love I carry in every word i say to them. When I add too many words, drag on a joke that’s over, when I message them despite the fact the conversation barely ended five minutes ago? every word i speak is an intimacy that’s laced with outright adoration for them as people and all the little details that make them who they are. Do you know I love you? Do y’all know how much of you I try to commit to memory? How much I try to make you smile? do y’all know the love I feel for you?

Apparently I'm a dragonfly.

Darting wings of manganese

Fly solo ‘mongst the swarm

Other colours pair, or blend

And twirl, and dance, conform.

 

To outmoded convention

Of What “always has been”

Ignoring the wings that

Circle freely, unseen.

 

Others purples have entered

The kaleidoscope dance

In harmonic singularity

Meeting only by chance

While the bonded wings dance

Their coupling operation

Their solitary companions

Fear no infatuation

 

Instead they dance together

A gamble of kinship

Purple dragonflies happy

No desire for courtship.

I was shitting, and I remembered how brie cheese is going extinct. I'm not sure if this is scientifically correct, so any cheese experts feel free to correct me

Im aroace, but i crave another persons body heat next to me when i lay down in bed.

Im aroace, but i want someone i trust so much that we can have whole-body skin to skin contact without fearing that we will be harmed or advanced upon.

Im aroace, but i dont want to live in a house with just myself.

Im aroace, but i want to wake up to somebody i care for immensely every day.

Im aroace, but i want to bring another person along with me through this adventure called life.

Im aroace, but i want to feel loved and cared for and love and care for them in return.

Im aroace, but i want this all without romance; just closeness.

Im aroace, but i want a life partner that i trust above anyone else.

Im aroace, but i want to love with all of my heart. Just not the way others think i should.

Im aroace, but i have so much love to give.

For some reason I relate to aroallos more than alloaces but I guess it's simply because while I understand why people enjoy sex I just straight up don't understand romance. Also aromanticism feels more central to my identity so maybe that's why

#aro #aromantic #ace #asexual #arospec #acespec #aroace #i have said this before. i can see the appeal of sex. and also it's like something that i know exists #yeah people do that. i don't but i know other people do it all the time or at least want to do it. i know it's real and exists #as for romance... you guys are making that up there's no way it's actually real i refuse to believe it exists they made it up for poetry

you sit at the piano bench. there are a few easels scattered around the room, with canvases on them, paintings left finished and unfinished alike. the sun catches on the prism you and your housemate put in the window, scattering rainbows across the room. plants spill over everything, vines and leaves swaying.

your housemate is in the kitchen, humming as they sway their way through some cake batter. there's flour on their nose. the radio is on, and quiet chatter fills the room.

you don't talk. you don't need to.

"Oh, you kissed me just to kiss me Not to take me home It was simple, it was sweetness It was good to know You look perfect, you look different I don't wonder about your indifference If I said you could never touch me You'd come over and say I looked lovely"
