My new year’s resolution is recognizing that I would rather wait endlessly for an ethereal love than to waste even a second of my precious energy on someone who isnt worthy.

“man on the moon” represents my willing struggle to wait for that perfect connection.

My poetry anthology “Cosmic Hearts” is out everywhere & ready for a new year of spreading divine love 💖 visit arabellacrookeshaw.com for more info

there are ruins in silk

and there is wonder in red moons

and bloody storms

setting off without so much as a trigger—

ugly, volatile, and loud.

there is wonder in soft fingers

but hard bones,

a crown of wool,

linen and silk,

wildfire windows, and

castle walls doomed to fall

beneath a woman's feet.

— assi

What I thought was forever was just last year. My body has attempted every rebellion at least twice. Like ice in a snowstorm, the future has solidified on the doorknobs. It asks me for the key. There's no way I'm making it out of here alive.

"I Can Tell It's Aquarius Season Because My Knuckles Are Splitting," by Caitlin Conlon

Hi! I’m a queer biracial indie poet in Eastern Nebraska, and I have great news. The print version of My Body and I Share the Same Name is officially listed and available for preorder off Amazon and Bookbaby!

It’s a personal poetry collection with themes like, mental illness, trauma, queerness, religion, love, and relationships. It follows bits of my life from childhood to early adulthood, including abuse, relationships, queer coming of age, mental health struggles, eating disorders, suicide attempts, and ultimately: hope.

If you choose to purchase one and feel comfortable enough to give me an address, I’d absolutely love to send you a little thank you note with stickers and goodies! If not, that’s okay too. If you don’t have the funds right now or just don’t want to order one, reblogs would help so much and be greatly appreciated.

I’m so excited about this, and I hope anyone who reads it enjoys it!

I no longer recognize the ghosts of the poems I've written in my girlhood but my melancholia has always been a constant — so neurotic, it's almost romantic — from the pile of poems I lost more than ten years ago to my book, Persephone, Descending. 🤎✨

You may buy a copy directly from 8Letters Bookstore & Publishing website or from their Shopee page.

P.S.: God, I miss writing.

Baptism by Nature

the mid August sun sparkles through birch leaves overhead, cooled by the fluttering wind of shortening days

lake water sinks into my lungs as if to permeate my bloodstream, cleansing me from the inside out, turning murky red clear like an alpine river

this is my yearly baptism of the earth, sitting in the sun, swim heavy and full of tall, fresh air

I breath until I feel like myself again, let the sun burn it's claim into my skin until I believe I am alive again

it is a sensation I lose the farther I get from Valhalla, as if it bleeds from my fingertips out of the window into the breeze, a magic I cannot take with me

it belongs to the mesas and meadows, and though I will miss running my fingers through it, like the hair of a long-absent lover, I know I may at any time return to it

Call For Submissions

This time we are looking for offbeat different romance stories. We want the romance to be perhaps written in a different genre…For example maybe a horror romance or a supernatural based one. We want more that the typical romance. But there should be a definite romance quality to the submission. We would like to see a good blend and the non- typical feel to the story. Poetry should be darker with…

No matter whatsoever could be missing

Nor anywhere I will surprise myself uneasy

It is the thoroughly created details in which

I rejoice

“energy”

My energy is so addictive

A cosmic cocktail of stardust and seduction

Lips like rose filled valleys

Eyes like a mirage of endless oceans

And hands that hold an unknown soft power

Reminding you of a home that you can’t remember

I am an ethereal goddess

Hell bent on this earthly experience

Divine connection in my aura

I hold your gentle souls

From Arabella Crookeshaw’s Cosmic Hearts

till I become her

she’s sometimes the only friend I have,

a friend that can’t be trusted, but still you can enjoy their presence

she’s everywhere I look, and yet she can’t be touched

she’s the emotional response grasped in the eye of the beholder

she’s the laughter throughout tears, a sigh that goes off unnoticed

she’s the darkest thought inside a jar of chaotic thoughts

and I love her,

I hope she’s somewhere between these crooked lines

I pray for her, I’m her devotee

I’m waiting for her as I’m sitting in her throne

‘cause she’s the only true meaning we can find in this tasteless, pointless, and yet linear disorder we often call life

it’s the rhyme through the verses, it’s the inescapable hug between two lovers

it’s the times we spent alone, quietly, wandering,

the trick is that you can only find her when you’re not looking for her

like some moon, she hides so every time you look at her she’s brighter, bigger, and even more divine

you can find her alone at night, when it’s just you and your thoughts filled with pride and misery

she’s kind to the unfortunate,

sometimes I find her between the light of the sun slightly embracing a lost cloud,

sometimes I find her within a memory of a friend who’s gone,

she’s like a love letter you find between a stack of lost papers, filled with dust and magic

she’s everywhere I look, like opposing magnets I can’t find her when I’m trying too hard to,

but she’s also where my eyes can’t reach

sometimes she’s the only friend I have, but we haven’t really met yet.
