You have seen pictures of me and read my poetry (presumably haha) so I would like your input on pen names. I really am unable to use my real name due to family circumstances. If you have suggestion other than those provided on the list feel free to share. Ultimately I will decide but your input is nevertheless invaluable. I will have to ask the last name in a separate post because I can’t seem to add more than one poll lol I actually prefer male names but my poetry gives away my gender even though I swap genders sometimes so.
Mortal
My mouth lies fallow
Underneath derisive weeds
A split tongue sensing the
Warmth of an alien sun
Deceives.
Forgive my heart
The pressure to survive
*
I wanted more than anything
To be the marvel
That your expectant eyes conceived
I wanted more than anything
To be the passion
That our laced hands
Perceived
*
The dusk settles infusing
Dystopian roots, ennui
Breeds such tenacious flowers
In the morning I woke
Mortal despite
An eternal love
*
Venus the thief
Venus the liar
Forgive this weakness
I only wanted to be held
As if I were
Special
To be held
Without
Inciting
Burden
=
Sometimes I just want to feel competent and equal
