You Know I Kissed A Girl

article image placeholderUploaded by @Pixiepoet4life
My heart beat hard as she revealed the games that we could play she reached across all time and space and touched me with desire I was floating on a cloud but then seduction took me higher together we shook heaven like the thunder in a storm our climax buzzing through us like a million bees in swarm I'll never say I'm sorry and I'll do it all again I don't care if I'm judged as lost for me, this was a win. F***, yeah

So thank you for that encouragement. And thank you most of all for taking the time to listen to my poetry and taking the time to kindly respond. I appreciate you very much for that. Thank you. Bye

You? Yes, sister. Yet another place where we are kindred. I am a proud, queer, multisexual woman. It was not always so. And that is a story for another time. But yes, I love to hear it. I love to see it. I love to feel it. You are doing such beautiful work. Keep going

I don't want to ever again consciously censor anything about me. So that's why I decided to do that piece. That's where that poem came from. And I felt like now is the time to share that on swell. So I am so glad I did. Especially with feedback like yours, it makes it all the more valuable, the steps that I'm making and to be able to have people like you share in that journey. Thank you so much. You mean so much to me

You're. This piece was definitely a turning point for me. A change of season and a shift in my reality. And it was a beautiful, beautiful eye opener. And I loved going through the process of it. It was time to begin a new chapter in my walk, in my journey journey and a new way of emoting and sharing poetry with all of you and with everyone that I share my pieces with

It's even hard to know ourselves fully because of this, but it's so cool on this platform that we get to see all of these shining pieces of each other, and I think it's really brave what you're doing, and I have so much respect for you. And the last thing I want to say about this, and then I'll shut up, is I'm hyper aware of the lack of visibility in a lot of writing and poetry of the queer populations

And so as artists, we should have the freedom to express that openly in every type of way that is possible. So I no longer want to be closed off about any of those emotions that I have within me. And it's not just because I'm in the queer community, it's just because I'm a human being. I want to be able to talk about my sexuality, my desires, my sensuality, my intimate and erotic focuses, because that's part of the human experience

Am. This conversation feels so free, and it's so important to mark it as a celebration, but also as a destination for people always looking around and trying to find that open door. And this conversation really sets that tone. It makes me so proud to be a part of this community. And for several years now, I've thought how amazing it is to have a place where all these voices are mixing so tenderly and so courageously

Because you and the people on here like you that have opened your arms to different voices and different perspectives, have given us safe space, a space to be ourselves, a space to speak our truths, and a space to share the themes that are the core of who we are as individuals. And as individuals, we make up the whole and the sum of this entire world. And that is amazing

We're here, we're loud, we're intelligent, and we are attached to different causes, but we also love ourselves and can express the experiences of what erotica is for alternative lifestyles. And so I commend you for that. And again, I always love the poetry we bring. Keep it up, you and

But to have you support it and to show your unity with me is just so amazing and I'm so thankful and so grateful for that. So thank you for joining into the conversation. Thank you for adding your voice to this thread. It is so meaningful to me and it goes beyond beyond I could have not ask for anything more. So we will rock on, we will persevere, we will continue forward and not allow anyone to silence our voices. Thank you so much. I love

It. I am so proud of you. I know the bravery that that took. I know the heart within you that put those words together and made them so passionate and true. And I know the advocacy in you that needed to do this, and this was the perfect forum for it. I appreciate you, and I love you, and you shine brighter than anything I have ever come across. This is an amazing piece, and it speaks volumes

It has given me such beautiful and amazing support. And with that support that I get from you, it gives me the joy, the uplift, the backbone to be able to stand up and say, yes, I will promote myself because finally, finally I have voices in my life telling me that I am worthwhile. So I want to thank you for being one of those voices that is constantly advocating for my worth and standing there on the sidelines cheering me on

Um wow. I am blown away by that piece. I'm a member of the lbgt family also, and I've kissed many, many girls, women. This piece was just amazing. I felt your passion all throughout. And just keep up kissing more girls and enjoy every bit of it. I make no apologies for who I am. I never have, I never will

So I appreciate you for being here, and I am very grateful to have met you and for you to be a part of my artistic offerings here on Swell. And I definitely agree. There are no apology, s, no regrets. My personal motto is Geronimo and f*** it. So that's where I'm sitting, and I am sitting pretty in that space. So thank you so much. I appreciate you for being here

It's, girl. You brought me to tears with that one. Because everything you say I am to you, you are to me. And isn't it a blessing to have somebody finally cheering from the sidelines that you know, believes in you? And I will be there, no matter what, doing the same. So I love you. I just wanted to tell you thank you. Thank you. Thank you
