you come from a story of love
so it’s only natural for you to carry so much of it on your sleeve.
your mom believes in miracles because of your breath, so why shouldn’t you?
you come from thick texas drawls,
cigarette smoke,
hairspray,
and tents made out of bedsheets and dining chairs.
a student of opera
and a dropout almost-rockstar

Too Wonderful
I think that
I shall never see,
a world as lovely as a tree.
Green it stands straight and tall
Generously giving love and shade to all
Who is there like you and to whom can I compare?
Your beauty is beyond my words, and all the angels stare
At your richness and gentleness, your meekness and your grace
If only I could see you and put…Voting is closed

Write a poem to the new 2022 you 1 year, 7 months agoHere’s to us and 2022
My dearest Dreima,
It’s true when they say new year new you.
But let us not make it about everyone else.
This year is about me, you, US. We’ve fought our deepest demons, the ones that creep in our sleep.
This time around we’re not letting monsters instill fear in our hearts.
Feel your beat. Focus on the sound of your voice. No one else can demand…

Remember that story you loved? It was yours
The first time you crumpled and chucked a corner of your life it landed on the floorboards that noticed when your shoe size changed. I’ve watched you shout sentences out of your pockets, the chapters you wished away tucked under boxes in the attic
You forgot that I write sonnets even in the moments w…

Home calls you back as if by a December
wind, tugging your scarf tight round
your throat. One wrong word, one
wrong move and the ice will
waylay you. If you fall,
bare hands and knees will be
scraped raw. Blood will be
spilled. You must tiptoe
here—
Here, in your childhood bedroom
old floor full of splinters
cold draft from the window where y…

Write a poem to the new 2022 you 1 year, 7 months agoYou’re Good Girl
Calm the F*** down.
You still wear the crown.
Still tearing shit up,
and holding shit down.Still got that drip.
You’re making them drown.
Still hot as hell.
You’re burning up ground.Take all the insults,
forget how they sound.
You’re leaving em behind,
tossed in the lost and found.The people who matter,
well, they’ll be down.

For the new me, may never be found; because you see, the idea is unsound.
What is newness? Is it true?
I find that I am seldom new; and often, always, built by two.
There’s who I was, and who I will be … then somewhere in between, there’s me.
Propelling forward, pulled by past, knowing resolutions will not last, if I don’t love the parts of me,…
