Bisexual like Gemini, twin flames tangled eternally / Stars by the pocketful, dancing on the edge of duality, that cosmic knife

Milky Way rising above the ocean, as seen from Taketomi Island, Japan
I'm bisexual like green carnations
Nature's self-pollinating perfection
Pinned to cultured vests
Folded into pages of myth and legend
Worthy of adorning divine chests
Bisexual like the double
Crescent moon
Reflecting pink, purple, and blue
Heavy and ripe by noon
Dripping with starlit dew
Bisexual like my moods and desires
Shifting like sand
Pushed and pulled by
The tide of gravity
Rising and falling with the sun
Bisexual like Gemini
Twin flames tangled eternally
Stars by the pocketful
Dancing on the edge of duality
That cosmic knife
My heart bleeds passionately pink
For souls that reflect my own
Striking me with such belonging
That I find home in a familiar face
On a warm horizon
Belonging everywhere
But nowhere
Questions of my existence
Echoing across the galaxy
My heart beats warm-blooded blue
For those who tug at my loose strings
To unspool my entirety
Until I’m threadbare
And e x p a n s i v e
My polar opposites that
Spiral me back
Into their arms again
I’m heart-stopping purple
To encompass
My full spectrum of attraction
Not limited by gender
Sexuality or race
I let each lover leave
An imprint on my soul
Fill my cup to the brim
Until my eyes are overflowing
Flying saucers from another planet
Bisexual like the double
Crescent moon
Not just a passing phase
Or transitional stage
No more obscured by
The dark side's shade
If I'm banished from
The realm of belonging
And doomed to forever orbit
The outskirts of society for who I love
Then I belong to myself
I choose visibility
Not conformity
I choose to root myself deeply
In the truth and mystery
Of my many multitudes
I’m but a speck
On the universe's shore
Arms stretched up
To the shimmering sea of a sky
My bisexuality is boundless
And I’ve never felt more real and alive
