I’ll be all the poets, I’ll kill them all and take each one’s place in turn, and every time love’s written in all the strands it will be to you.

Amal el-Mohtar & Max Gladstone, Time War

Love that I was the one naming my sibling after the one romanian folk tale that had a trans main character and they turned out to not be cis.

Me*in the city, walking happily through the pouring rain*
*remembers how Pierre Curie died*
*walking anxiously and cautiously*

Somehow managed to survive another day without murdering my MIL. Hurray to me

[sapphic lit bot @sapphiclitbot]

Trust me, she mouths. My palms are sweating. I’ve only ever trusted three people in my life—never gotten close enough to trust any more. I hold on to her waist a little tighter. And I answer with my body: I do.

Leah Johnson, Rise to the Sun

Lazybones, I will tease, and touch her in a way that will make her eyes fly open.
Sid!
Yes?
I was sleeping.
You were?
You owe me an apology.
You’re right, Nirrim, I do. How shall I make you forgive me?
You know, she will murmur.

Marie Rutkoski, The Hollow Heart

[sapphic lit bot @sapphiclitbot]

You’ve always been the hunger at the heart of me, Red—my teeth, my claws, my poisoned apple. Under the spreading chestnut tree, I made you and you made me.

@SketchesbyBoze Friend of the moon and crows

Davina kissed her and it was like the answer to a question she’d only recently realized she’d wanted to ask. Like the world had paused, just for a moment, and Tess wanted it to never start again.

Rebecca Kim Wells, in Fools in Love

[queer lit bot ✒️ @queerlitbot]

I vow to love you in primal ways.
I vow to love you in infinite forms.

In our separateness and composites.
To dust and stars and the ever after.

Joseph O. Legaspi, Vows (for a gay wedding)

[sapphic lit bot @sapphiclitbot]

“Luck, I guess,” I say, because the first thing a monster learns is when to lie.

Micaiah Johnson, The Space Between Worlds

[sapphic lit bot @sapphiclitbot]

This is the war I was born toward, her skin, its lake-glint.
I desire—: I thirst.
To be filled—: light-well.
The light throbs everything, and songs
against her body, girdling the knee bone.

Natalie Diaz, Postcolonial Love Poem

This is Wayne. He turns into an 80-year-old man when he stops getting pets. 12/10 would resume immediately

He is half of my soul, as the poets say.
